Friends have given me full control over the study playlist this Sunday and I have gone off the rails thanks for asking. No theme just vibes

[unsoundedcomic]

Hey Ashley, long time fan of your work (and I have been mercilessly shilling it to any of my friends with a passing interest in webcomics). I recently came across this discussion (https://www.tumblr.com/evandahm/745657404299116544/in-your-viewexperience-is-the-rate-of ) on the nature of how starting and maintaining a webcomic has shifted over the years; I’m curious what your experience has been on this

I have little to contribute to that discussion that hasn't already been said by them :) One thing I didn't see mentioned as much though was the turn away from computers to phones. That's driven a lot of the social media "revolution." Phones helped destroy the internet by locking people into tightly controlled apps, boxing them into postcard sized screens half covered by their thumbs and the glare of the overhead lights. And people exult at the crush of those chains, baby. Their wrists chafe and bleed and they couldn't be harder.

Artists and creatives loved the freedom of the early internet. But I think most normies were always very discomforted by it. Now it's been neutered, power has been gratefully returned to publishers, and Capitalism's back on the throne. Every year more and more control is returned to it. Some of it's subtle, like personal sites requiring the purchase of an SSL certificate so browsers don't mark them as scary and dangerous. Some of it's blatant, like Patreon's unregulated middleman monopoly between artists and their supporters. Some of it's insane, like insisting smears of graphite express informed consent before they're drawn too close together.

None of this is new to artists. Every generation of artists struggles not to be called sexual deviants, struggles to get paid for what they're doing, struggles not to surrender as society gaslights them into believing they should work for free. I guess with webcomics it's a little maddening because it was pretty exciting for a while; but then we had to watch in real-time as the partyhouse was set on fire, and the people that we thought were having a good time, all cheered watching it burn.

But we struggle on regardless because we love what we do, and we love the people who get it :)

A: What?

A: Okay.

Writer Q&A

Finally doing this, thank you for the tag @lexiklecksi!!

I tag: @wheres-all-the-tea-gone and @atmospheric and anyone who wants to do it

What motivates you to write?

An inherent desire to communicate and deal with certain feelings I have (usually bad ones). My big WIP On The End Of Everything is about characters that are very dissatisfied with their lives and with who they are but have no way of changing this, as well as an exaggeration of the apocalyptic feeling we get when we don't have our lives completely together (might that tell you something about me?). Both this story and my short story anthology WIP make political commentary in the stupidest way possible, like any scifi story should.

Every character has a trace of me and every trace of me is examined and judged in all sorts of situations. It's both a form of self-therapy and a way to unload nonsensical ideas and peculiar humour.

A line/short snippet of your writing that you are most proud/happy of. If not maybe share a line of someone else's work you love (just please credit them)

I like my poems best of the stuff I've written in the past 3 years, and there's a rather long one with some body horror elements (CW), but here are two verses from that one:

you may climb to the valley but the descent is steep there the partyhouse is filled to the brim here lie the parents, not awake nor asleep tie them together for their bodies are thin down the sea over yonder and into the deep see them drown and wonder, why had they no skin? a fly on the water comes to pose a conundrum if your face were another would you feel any different? then all insects fall dead to beat of a drum the wet blows are approaching and becoming vociferant another face is growing over your own now, how fun the next mouth utters sweetly the cry of an infant

What part of writing do you think you are the best at? (Yes stroke your own ego it's okay)

I'm not sure but I used to think descriptions? Especially of rather gorey and disturbing scenes, that's what I used to think. I haven't done that sort of thing in a while though, I hope I get to do it again soon. Well, apart from poems, as you can see.

But I think desciptions in general, they are my way of bringing the humour.

What do you enjoy most about the Writeblr community?

The fact we all stay curious about other people and their work! Plus everyone here is so earnestly in love with writing, it's nice.

A writing tool/device you use that helps you with writing? (It could be speech to text, a writing program etc)

Those synonym and rhyme websites, translators, but in my case especially wiktionary.org

A piece of worldbuilding that you like in your own story? (It could be the magic system, a particular place in the story, a law etc)

I like the world building in On The End Of Everything's first universe the best, but it's a sort of mystery so I don't want to spoiler it. To give you an idea of the current vibe (after all the worldbuilding that is to be uncovered); it is a universe with no sun, one planet that is able to support human life due to geothermic activity and an ecosystem of bioluminescent critters, and a human population with names like Nestlé (my main girl of this universe, I love her).

What piece of advice would you say to encourage others to write if they are having a rough patch?

If you're stuck just write Anything else. Could be a completely unrelated story idea you have or you can try to write the scene from someone else's perspective or write what someone completely different is doing somewhere else in-universe right now. Just because it won't be part of the finished story doesn't mean its not valuable. And hey, depending on the tone of your writing or how exciting the scene is you could just put it in anyway. For example: i dont really know how to write my current scene so instead i just wrote about a random bioluminescent dog called Stephen Colbert and his take on the scene. My writing is silly.

My sister recently told me that she had a dream that Hugh Grant was coming through town and going to this MEGA HUGE PARTY on a date, but nobody knew who the date was. Everyone was like "dude OMJ, who do you think hes bringing???" and "dude shes so lucky!!! Hugh Grant is awesome!!" so the whole place is all wicked hyped up for the reveal. Anyway, the day of the party comes and Hugh's limo pulls up in front of this massive red carpet that leads up to the partyhouse and my sister is waiting on the sidelines to see who it is. And Hugh Grant pops out of the limo with FUCKING. JERMA. JERMA985 WAS HUGH GRANT'S DATE. My sister said she went up to ask for a photo with him, but jerma said "sorry, I'm on a really important date right now" and scurried off.

PORTSIDE PARTYHOUSE - nightclub factory lot

Portside Pantyhose once made its name as the premier maker of high end hosiery. Overseeing the process from beginning to end, owner and proprietor Stanley Garter Esq. worked day and night to make the company a success, no matter the cost. And there was a cost... to his marriage. Some say Stanley could often be seen sleeping in his office, and slowly became a tragic figure, a shadow of his former self. No one knows quite what happened, but Portside Pantyhose eventually shut its doors and fell into disrepair. Now a near empty shell, local kids and partygoers break into the old factory and have dubbed it Portside Partyhouse.

With thanks to all the cc creators whose objects I used in this build, with special thanks to @siminimonster for permission all that time ago to include their light. And with thanks to @twin-skltns on tumblr for giving me the name for the lot, which in turn gave me the idea for its backstory.
