Full resolution available for download here (tumblr compresses images a little)

its hilarious the amount of people basically going "im not reading the great gatsby" going around

[Image Description: The first drawing has two Bill Ciphers interacting with one another. One has a harrowed expression, pointing feverishly at a diagram titled: Your Mission. The context is partly blocked up by Bill's body, but it details a list on how he would take over the world and then the third dimension with the reader's assistant, as his co-leader. All that he's spouting is "Yap" repeatedly. The other Bill Cipher, more lax and a little annoyed, is sitting with his legs crossed and a hand behind his metaphorical head. His other hand is mouthing along with the first Bill Cipher's speech.]

[The second drawing has Bill Cipher standing in the middle of the image, hands raised with a quizzical, bewildered look on him. Bold text borders him from the top and bottom. The top scowls, "Aren't you all treasure hunters?" The bottom text orders, "Start digging."]

[The last drawing has Bill Cipher, still in the middle of the image, except now his expression has uplifted into pure delight and mischief. In his hand, pushed out to the viewer, is the PDF cover of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The text, from the top, coos, "You want to know." The bottom text emphasizes, drawing out the syllables, "So bad." End image description.]

I doubt this'll get far enough to reach anyone who might have anything kicking around but yelling into the void has worked before (e.g. Supernatural, The X-Files, bonus X-Files):

Back in June 2024 TV Writing added a nice little set of 12 Xena: Warrior Princess scripts.

I made the four scripts Cousin Liz shared many years ago into pdfs and sent them to TV Writing, they were added in October 2024.

In December I stumbled on a new upload of the 2008 Photobucket images of "The God You Know" shared by LadyKate63 and made the draft where all of the page numbers were visible into a pdf. I sent that along with the first and last of season one to TV Writing:

Xena Warrior Princess 1x01 - Sins of the Past (READ NOW)

Xena Warrior Princess 1x24 - Is There a Doctor in the House (READ NOW)

Xena Warrior Princess 6x12 - The God You Know (READ NOW)

Finally, my question:

In celebration of the pilot first airing on 13 March 1995, is there anyone out there who still has any of the Creation Entertainment scripts from Xena: Warrior Princess kicking around that they'd be willing to email* to TV Writing, XenaGabrielle, and/or me?

*If you send any you'd be willing to share directly to TV Writing he won't tell who donated what (e.g. less than a month after he added almost all of the remaining the latest drafts of the Supernatural collection, someone scanned and emailed Supernatural 6x01 and he hasn't shared who donated it to me, one of the original lunatics who started building that collection in 2019 and retired the project in 2024).

**They've been sent to TV Writing, when they are added I'll update this post. The owner of XenaGabrielle will also change the contributor info to me, when I cold email fan collectors working on a public script collection I use the old project account.

hey so i’m really wanting to make a book/field guide of my art and i was wondering what your process is from creating an art piece all the way to getting a zine-style physical copy of your work? i was inspired by your zines so i thought i’d ask you about it. what websites do you use? how do you like,,, talk to a business to get stuff from the digital illustration into a (relatively small) book?

also this is a personal project to fuel my hyperfixation so i’m not looking to like,,, produce in bulk or anything lol.

thanks :)

for my larger-quantity zines I used mixam.com! they're a print company that specializes in booklets and catalogs, and everything on the production side can be dealt with online. I've had very good experiences with their customer service (I was put through to a real person on their chat function almost instantly when i needed an answer to a more in-depth question) and their prices are really good imo, especially for bigger quantities! They also have pretty high customization options--you can choose the weight and type of your paper, multiple types of binding, etc.

if you go that route, though, all of the graphic design and layout is on you. I'd recommend getting indesign or a similar program to help you lay out your booklet, so you can keep all your pages in one easily-accessible, editable file. (and remember that in order to be printed as a booklet your page count MUST be a multiple of 4!) mixam (or whatever printer you use) will usually give you a template that lets you know exactly how much bleed and gutter space you're working with, and you can then input those numbers into indesign. (If you do this, make sure you export your final pdf WITHOUT CROP MARKS, because your printer will add their own crop marks later on.) once you've arranged your booklet the way you like in indesign, export it as a pdf (in single pages, not spreads, and make sure your pages are in sequential order rather than optimized for booklet printing; it's on your printer to do that step for you!) and upload that pdf to your printer. Mixam gives you a few days to check over your work and either confirm it's correct or cancel the order, and then once you've confirmed it goes into production. more pages and more complex printing will be more expensive, but i've had nothing but good experiences buying from mixam and if i ever selfpub again i'm definitely going to be using them!

New kofi post for members! this one's relative small though, few hylia-related doodles, landscape practice, and a piece of Demise's relationship with Hylia and the world around him.

This page was done super on the spot after I got to thinking about the deities a little more again. + a silly concept I might delve into more later.

Just wanted to share here my personal pet peeve of people using the Alt Text function for stuff like authors notes instead of actually describing their images

Oh, defintely with you there. Though I think its usually one of two things

The person genuinely did not know the alt text was for

The person was that one specific person I met on Tumblr once who was losing their vision but still actively preferred to use the alt text as commentary for their own art for personal reasons

I have sympathy for both of these types of people. I think the most helpful thing we can do is spread awareness of what the alt text is for and who it helps.

Also for the love of all that's good, please don't put the source URL of the image in alt text. Yes, I have seen that. Multiple times. One of them wasn't even on Tumblr, so literally only screen reader users would even have access to it. But do what with it have no idea....you can't copy/paste from alt text on a normal website.
