Hey #GreekMythology tumblr, I want ya’lls help on something :).
So, I’ve been thinking about starting this massive project. Like, would take years and years work of writing and research and sheerly finding the time and motivation for. And as I was thinking about the specifics, I thought: why not bring others into it as well? Because as much as I am interested in a lot of Greek Mythology, there are things that are simply not my interests and might cause writers block and my goal for the project would to be as fun as possible. So, here we are.
What is the project exactly? Well, hopefully, it’ll be a long Ao3 series/fic focusing on the individual perspectives of various figures/events in Greek Mythology arranged in (semi/good enough) chronological order. I personally intend to write for Poseidon in his/my version of the Titanomachy and (maybe) some events that follow, if you want a little bit of an idea on what I’m talking about.
The limits on this are almost completely free, all that I ask are that each of your submissions are one POV only (and by that I mean your main subject’s POV). Why do I say this? I say this because that is what I want this project to look like. It doesn’t matter if it’s First, Second, or Third POV along with all the other variants of those three, my main focus is on the individual experiences of these individuals. Kind of like character studies, if you know what I mean. I’m intending for it to be mostly formal but I will absolutely accept crack admissions that I will probably put into its own series to Separate the Vibes for whoever comes by :).
Ultimately, this is a completely open-ended project that has absolutely no deadline. I’m about to go to bed so I can’t go into too much detail, but if you want to DM me or send any asks, I am completely okay with that and we’ll all flesh out the specifics we go :).
What is my overall purpose? Not only is this project made for my own individual purposes of learning more about the gods and other Greek Mythology writers, but it’s also the chance to spread the word of other writers. I know how hard it is to get specific audiences, especially when you’re shy, so this is a chance for your work to be stumbled upon. Each post on the eventual Ao3 fic will include your socials, how to find you, and your other general works on either ao3, tumblr, wattpad, or other :)
Can you participate even without socials or a tumblr page? Yes you absolutely can :). My asks will always be open to anons and I will do my best to give credit when I eventually post everything :). If you want to post multiple submissions or simply just want a trackable (between works) name to your writing, just sign something at the end. It could be a name, it could be a potential username, I don’t mind at all :)).
How do I submit things? Well, the best way would be to DM me :). I have a personal writing email separate from most things that would be perfect to either share a google docs with or to just send a copy-and-pasted copy of it. Otherwise, I take asks. None of them will be posted unless asked or we’re ready to so it’ll be safe to just drop them off in! It’s also where I take questions :).
Any other things to note? I’d really appreciate some other moderators and editors :). There’d only be like two or three of each and we’d have to know each other decently well before officially starting, but some help would be appreciated! Also, I’d like to keep a working ‘spreadsheet’ of who’s working on what just for people to see what’s going on :). Maybe some people can collaborate or it’ll encourage those niche writers to write :). A third thing is that most questionable stuff is accepted. I’d personally rather not handle all those things other than posting it so it might be a while until I can officially accept (consensual and/or graphic) ✨spicy stuff✨ but, other than that, I’ll take any of it (also, it’s Greek Mythology, almost all of it already happened). If someone’s willing to take over the ✨spicy stuff✨ then please DM me so we can work out the details and see if it’s a nice fit :)
Honestly, that all should be it. The main point is that I’m trying to start up a long-term project on Tumblr and Ao3 about what is essentially Greek Mythology character studies that not only allows for mass communication across a wide audience, but also (hopefully) gets some recognition for the smaller writers :). Feel free to DM me or send me asks with questions but for now, I shall sleep
Tagging: @bluebellstudio @thirteen-deaths-later @0lympian-c0uncil @happyk44 @h0bg0blin-meat @sworeontheriverstyx @deathlessathanasia @gotstabbedbyapen. Sorry if I tagged you and you want nothing to do with it, I just wanted to get it out there /pos /gen

that whole “i don’t like fish” thing said by straight women about lesbians when literally no one asked them for their opinion is so odd. a lesbian will simply be existing and a straight woman will (without provocation) need everyone in the vicinity and within shouting distance to be aware of how straight she in fact is. i have questions. why do you want us personally to know that you aren’t interested? what compels you to say it? and by your own logic, who would then want you?? imagine thinking you’re insulting just lesbians when you’re instead insulting everyone with your shared parts. why are you desperate to be sexually desired by us yet simultaneously feel the need to reject us. imagine having the boldness to assume we would want you in the first place?? don’t be so silly and grotesque lmfao, you’re not even on the waitlist. do let me know when you eventually come out though because that internalized homophobia is uhhh- a little too loud

Hi Salem :) I just thought you should know that the universe has been conspiring to make me love your art, lol. I read the first part of Domesticated on here around when you first started posting it. And obviously I was like, "obsessed, must follow"
And then, just recently, you came across my Twitter feed! And because I am a big dummy (seriously, it's not you, it's me), I was like, "obsessed, must follow. but also why does this art style feel so familiar?" Lmao T-T
Anyways after twitter stalking you for a while I realized that, well, you are you haha! So, yeah! How lucky am I to fall in love with your work not once, but TWICE!
Thanks for sharing your big ole beautiful brain with us! Xoxoxo
thank you so much! i can't tell you how good that makes me feel. not begging for sympathy, i've been having kind of a rough week. i've been stressed about stuff and worried that people won't enjoy the stuff i'm putting out. it really means the world to me that people can enjoy my scribbled with me, that we can all admire the subjects and stories together.
my stories and art make me really happy to create. i am grateful and fortunate that i can share them with all of you.
here, i dedicated my warm up doodle to you -#u#- two boys for your double luck
