A series of Undertale-themed drawings I made for Christmas!

All based off the Winter alarm clock dialogue.

Okay so I’m actually insane about lycanwing Hiccup. I imagine he gets distracted by shiny objects and then gets embarrassed when people point it out

After Great Expectations: Our Next Novel

Poll Time

We’re nearing the end of Great Expectations, with only just over a month to go, so it’s high time we decide what our next project will be. Make your voice heard at the poll here: https://forms.gle/tWD2F6y5AHnmRyZV8

The voting will close on July 4th 2023.

The options are as below, as these are the only novels which will keep the wait between novels to six months or under.

Dombey and Son (October 1856/2023 to April 1848/2025)

Little Dorrit (December 1855/2023 to June 1857/2025)

Martin Chuzzlewit (January 1843/2024 to July 1844/2025)

Barnaby Rudge (February 1841/2024 to November 1841/2024)

Read synopses for all of these in the poll. It may help your decision to take note of how long we will be waiting between novels, as well as how long the serialisation will last.

During the Hiatus

Depending on which novel wins the poll, there may be a long wait between books. Plans are currently being hatched, but to keep you sated during this time we will try to send out some of Dickens’ short stories.

If the wait covers the Christmas period, we may also send out one of his Christmas novellas, though perhaps not A Christmas Carol, as others may be organising this.

Go forth and vote!

hi pia👋

i was looking into your patreon and noticed that the monetary listings were by “chapter.” would this, for instance, in the $5 tier mean that in order to access one unreleased UtB chapter, you would pay $5, $10 for two, $20 for four, etc.? i’ve only ever patronized (?) creators who have a monthly subscription system, so i’d love some clarification if you have the time🤌 (a cursory google search was not helpful unfortunately :/)

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!1!1!1!!!!1!!!xoxoxo

PS, i read on the latest UtB chapter that your week has been awful, so i hope it gets better🫡

Hi anon!

So you don't need Google, the info was there on my Patreon: if you go to the Patreon and go to the About section, this is explained in the very first paragraph (so it's easy for you to find in the future) but I'll also copy and paste it here:

Instead of charging for every chapter I release, I only ever charge twice per month!

There we go. Twice a month! :D You don't even need to be charged twice if you don't want to, as you can limit how much you get charged to the base Tier price (scroll down to read more about that) which I also explain on the About page! :D

If you scroll down that gets explained in more detail, so I'll copy/paste this here, but this information is always on the Patreon for anyone to check. I highly recommend checking the About sections going forwards! It can be easy to miss vital stuff without it.

How often am I charged? - Twice a month, max. You are charged per chapter, to a maximum of two chapters a month, even though I release more. This means if you pledge $1.00, with no cap, and I post four chapters, then you’ll pay $2.00. If you pledge $5.00, with a limit cap of $5.00, you’ll only ever be charged $5.00 for that month no matter what. If you want all the rewards but have a limited budget, cap your pledge and join a higher tier! You can also change your pledge amount – higher or lower – as your life dictates. This is meant to work for you, so do whatever feels comfortable. I'm happy to have you here for as long as you're happy to be here, I hope I can make your stay far warmer and cozier than what I put most of my characters through!

I don't release any early access Underline the Black there. I recommend either looking at my release schedule at the beginning of the month (or on Patreon and Ream because the schedule is public) which shows exactly what chapters are early release because it will have the tier next to it.

Right now the stories that have early access chapters on Patreon and Ream are The Nascent Diplomat, Underline the Blue, Underline the Red, Underline the Gold (all in the Augus + Gwyn tier) and Constellations (this one requires the Gary + Efnisien tier - which gives you access to everything in the Augus + Gwyn tier as well). It works out to about 2-4 early access chapters per month.

If you don't want to be charged twice a month or find it too confusing, I also have a Ream account which has all the same content, and that's only ever charged once a month for peace of mind. You can subscribe here for free and still see all the free updates in your email inbox, and upgrade in the future if you ever want to see early access chapters and/or support the free writing that's already out there. :)

I am very upfront with my charging information and also what is and isn't early access, but folks have to check out those About sections as well, not just for me, but for any Patreon. Vital information is often there, and it can be a good habit to get into before subscribing to someone. :D

Bonus content, behind the scenes, previews ($1 & up)

May 5: Fell on HotU's visual development

May 12: B on colonialism in HotU

May 15: an update on HotU's map design!

Thanks for reading & I'm sure we'll have a very stacked + very queer calendar for June :)

Another problem that needs to be adressed is that no kid arrives on the internet pre-equipped with the knowledge that they are going to see stuff they'd rather not. No kid starts out knowing what to filter and what to avoid. (Especially kids that don't have English as their first language. I sure as shit didn't know to blacklist 'nsfw' and 'bdsm' when I didn't know what the acronyms meant.) Worse even, kids mostly don't have the understanding of WHY adult stuff is bad for them if they are exposed to it too early, so when they come across it they don't know that it's hurting them.

Like, seriously. What warning signs were there in Fanfiction.net fandom pages as you browsed through story summaries? Sure, you could filter out 'romance' and 'mature,' but as a 12-yo kid, I didn't know what it meant for a story to be tagged as romance (because let's be real, many of the mature ones weren't tagged as mature because it hid them from searches by default and authors didn't want to lose on potential readers) and why I needed to stay away from it. Only purposely seeking out age-appropriate gen stories never stopped me from coming across a whooooooole bunch of EXTREMELY graphic and shocking stuff that I could barely even recognize as scarring at the time. And when I arrived on tumblr at around 14, there was even more stuff I was totally unaware that I should block and avoid, because I didn't even know that stuff existed before I came across it. I didn't blacklist incest until I'd already come across it, because as a kid it doesn't occur to you that people you followed for the fanarts will put incest on your dash.

Individual blogs can be marked as 18+, but you don't see the blog's header when you come across it in a character tag, and the problem of very, very poorly tagged posts being everywhere remains.

The usual response is "it's the sole responsibility of parents to manage their kids' screen time" but that's an increasingly unrealistic expectation in a world where screens are everywhere.

I am NOT saying fandom shouldn't have adult content, btw - I'm saying placing the responsibility of curating their own experiences on kids is just as unreasonable as tone-policing adults and stopping them from having their own spaces. Kids, by the very reality of their limited life experience, are not capable of knowing how to keep themselves safe from dangers they know nothing about.

Just saw someone say something like "proshippers stop inserting yourself into minor filled spaces" (referring to fandom), so daily reminder fandom was never made for or by kids. It has always been predominantly adults.

Kids are welcome in fandom, but they are the ones who must read the signs warning not to enter 18+ spaces
