Putting out a request...

Hey, guys. Any Candle Wasters fans out there? If so, will you please help me? I have been working hard over the past few months to archive as much YouTube content as possible before the Big December Purge, but every time I've tried to archive literary webseries, I've been overwhelmed by the sheer amount there is. I've managed to confirm that Pemberley Digital is archived on the Wayback Machine, but The Candle Wasters do not seem to be. Does anyone know any archive of them that already exists, or any archivist with a strong stomach for all the work there is to do who can create one, or help me create one? I do not want these incredible series to disappear, but realistically, I do not think I am physically capable of saving them on my own.

Kia ora koutou,

After 4 years of being on hiatus we wanted to officially acknowledge that our filmmaking collective has disbanded.

We are so proud of all the work we made, and we loved sharing it with you all. Your gifs, analysis, letters, writing, art, and comments made us feel so lucky. Creating these stories was such a special time in our lives and we can’t thank you enough for being a part of it. We could not have made our 5 webseries in 5 years without your awhi, love, and support. We will be forever grateful for the support of our Kickstarters which allowed us to continue making series, and never forget our fandles or flamangoes.

While as a collective we have gone our separate ways, we are all continuing to be creative folks and if you follow our various social media you will see what we get up to next.

Claris - @/clariskate on instagram Elsie - @/littlebollinger on instagram Minnie - @minniegraced most places Robbie - @robbienicol on instagram Sally - @/salazar.bollinger on instagram

We will continue to post as The Candle Wasters from time to time — NMTD turns 10 next year and we’ll be sure to acknowledge that!

Finally, we are releasing several videos from our YouTube Drafts as part of the final updates to the Kickstarters for Lovely Little Losers and Bright Summer Night. You will see these on your feed. After that, we will not be releasing any further original content on YouTube as The Candle Wasters, though there will be other updates from us as individuals from time to time. For more details on the Kickstarter, please see the Final Updates on each Kickstarter.

Thank you all for joining us on this journey! 

Lots of love, ngā mihi, Claris, Elsie, Minnie, Robbie, and Sally EDIT: What's NMTDaily? CLICK HERE FOR INFO

where are all the 200k word post-day of unity fics where alador is going through a nasty and increasingly messy divorce and trying to help rebuild the boiling isles and also fixing his relationship with his kids but he's also struggling with having his own autonomy again and his own guilt over not being an actual father to his kids and he doesnt know who is outside of his responsibilities of work/family bcus he never had actual friends once he left school and once upon a time alador was the one to show darius there's more to life than what you can do for other people and now darius has the opportunity to help alador relearn the same thing and maybe together they can both rediscover what real love feels like again after years of bitterness

Bright Summer Night appreciation post

I've been rereading A Midsummer Night's Dream lately and the entire time I'm picturing BSN in my head...

Set in a fairy-themed house party, there were so many amazing stylistic choices

From changing magic to drugs

And giving Bottom a onesie

This whole bathroom scene

Plus Bottom and Titania's adorable friendship

Oh, and a surprise Thomasin McKenzie before she was famous

TL;DR This show is brilliant and my favourite adaption.

Late night Helsinki

[dragons-and-yellow-roses]

So I'm an area director at a summer camp, but yesterday my boss called me and asked if I'd be down to be the director of two areas and I said yes without thinking about the consequences. So now I'm the director of two areas? That means two groups of staff to train and lead, two sets of lesson plans, two areas to teach at and make the schedule for and make the lesson plans for, two physical areas to set up. They're right next to each other, but this is going to be fucking insane
