#sakamoto days: an alternative transitional period

[alienposadismo]

Whelp, fic is on Ao3 now. Here are the link and the official cover.

Biggest thing I have written so far, clocking in at 18,109 words (at time of writing. Currently it's at 99,767) and with the passion to match!

Big shoutout to @bokunocolor for the awesome coloring of the panel of Aoi With Glasses that inspired the whole idea of SAKAMOTO DAYS: An Alternative Transitional Period (or SD:aATP for short) and helped create the cover as a result, with me going for a Fashion Magazine look as I completed the shape and credits and whatnot. But yeah... sure was quite the new experience, having to go through a server full of beta readers for future-proofing and whatnot... still, it was hella fun!

And still is.

And will be.

Yeah, I ain't stopping. This bad boy is gonna be up to date as much as possible. Meaning I will be adapting as many chapters as I can, as best as I can.

Even if there's currently 185 canon manga chapters, with no signs of Suzuki-sensei stopping any time soon, Imma get there if I can. If the Loud House can have a fanfic bigger than the GODDAMN Bible, then I can have a fanfic the size of a Shonen Jump franchise!

So, now that this is done... time to go back to the kitchen. Mother has some PEAK to cook, after all.

Until then though... hope you enjoy/enjoyed the read, both of the fic and of this debut post!

P.S - I mayyyyyyy or may not be getting more covers made for when newer chapters show up... and I mayyyyyyy or may not plan to use them in PDF volumes of 6-7 chapters each like the canon manga... which mayyyyyy or may not be stored in a public Mediafire link or something similar... that all mayyyyyy be a possibility. :3

Me this past week with SakaDays stuff (ESPECIALLY SD:aATP)

would you like a nice glass of

[alienposadismo]

To celebrate the 12 chapters (and 114 hits) reached, here's the cover for Volume 2 of SAKAMOTO DAYS: An Alternative Transitional Period

As usual, shout out to @bokunocolor for being goated with the colouring sauce, cause yeah, while it took a bit to write allat, I did manage to turn his colouring of the mid-air shooting Aoi into a more movie-poster-style cover to contrast the fashion magazine one for the volume before.

Am I getting Volume 2 on the Mediafire? Definitely, with me putting said Mediafire in a comment. Am i getting it printed like I did with the first 6 chapters that Volume 1 contained? Probably, once the salary arrives.

Might even do one of those 3-volumes-in-1 things that big mangas do sometimes. But only for me :3

In the meantime, go read my fic for the feedback, findable in the pinned post I use to track the wordcount. Or give BnC's blog a visit. Any kind of support will be nice for sure.

Some may call it narcissism,

I call it pride and accomplishment.

Truly, 20€ unwell spent. Though in hindsight, maybe I should have put in chapters 7-10 as well.

...

...OH SHIT I GOTTA FINISH CH11, BRB

[alienposadismo]

So I trans-ed the official icon and wallpaper of Sakamoto Days. :3

Gee, I wonder what fic these edits are for~

Alright, that should be enough Ibis Paint chicanery for the time being...

Should be.

Hm.

[alienposadismo]

Whelp, here's the official logo of the fic I have been cooking for 3 chapters now.

Thank god for the lil filter helping the unfortunate souls using this hellsite with light mode (me included).

But yeah, that whole Trans Aoi Sakamoto AU I suggested a long while ago? That's the fic for it, so far adapting the first 3 manga chapters, soon to be on Ao3... once the invitation arrives in my e-mail.

Hope y'all enjoy it when it's out! (Or, if you're among the beta readers, when the chapters are ready.) In the meantime, here's the banner/horizontal version below.

[alienposadismo]

Screw it, new PFP. Needed a bit of an update anyway.

Yeah, decided to renovate this now a bit more active blog a little. And hey, my brain is already on enough brainrot to make 2 chapters of the SakaDays Trans!Aoi AU I posted about a while ago in just 2 days. Might as well embrace it while I wait for the invitation to arrive.

Anyways, back to preparing Chapter 3 of Sakamoto Days: An Alternative Transitional Period for that one Discord server and one certain separate Tumblr colorist I use for beta readers. Once Ao3 lets me into its sacred abode, imma post the chapters there as well. Til then, here's the summary of the fic and setting as a bit of a teaser/appetiser.

Summary:

Taro Sakamoto was the most lethal and powerful hitman in the world of assassins, a boogeyman, a titan... and then he disappeared. She found her self, you see. Shame you can't just leave this world, as this familiar yet different story shows.

See you soon~

Chapter 28 of SD:aATP is up on Ao3! And the ripple effects be rippling...

Almost reaching 100k words too, goddamn. That said, the lack of beta reader is still annoying me. Hopefully it hasn't resulted in any problems y'all might have with the story!

Fuck, my head feels like shit... anyways, OOC spoiler below, next chapter on Wednesday, go watch the anime if you haven't already, it's peak.

[alienposadismo]

Chapter 27 of SD:aATP is up on Ao3! Still looking for a new Beta Reader though :(

Oh, popups work again, sweet! But uh yeah, this might be the one chapter so far full of nothing but original content. Hopefully you like the surprise I had set up!

(Hint - the first word of it sounds similar to "reach")

Still a bit sad I got no new Beta Reader yet, as the title might vaguely suggest, but hey - if you're interested? You can contact me via this platform or Discord and help. Anyways, here's the OOC spoiler. See ya next Wednesday!

[alienposadismo]

Chapter 26 of SD:aATP is up on Ao3!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/59823703/chapters/159127396

Popups seem to have broken here again... but yeah, hope y'all don't mind a creative choice or two I have gone with. Hopefully you enjoy them instead while I look for a new beta reader.

Yeah, I have decided to fix the current lack of beta reader a bit. New chapters will come every Wednesday still, and in the meantime I will get a new beta reader to cover for @soaryze in their absence. If you are interested, feel free to contact me either in DMs or Discord (same nickname as here) and I will send the drafts when ready etc.

But yeah... hopefully you don't mind just a tiny bit more self-beta'd chapters in the meantime. Here's an OOC chapter spoiler as per usual, see ya next week.

[alienposadismo]

Chapter 25 of SD:aATP is up on Ao3!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/59823703/chapters/152600509

And my beta reader is still gone with no word fron them anywhere... god I hope they're OK. Hopefully I haven't messed uo this pretty damn big moment of the story, what with Uzuki finally meeting with the crew and all. I did try to fix a bit more of that early series inconsistency and such with him specifically, so... yeah.

NOW HOPEFULLY THIS POST ACTUALLY WORKS THIS TIME OR ELSE I'M GONNA BE PISSED.

(Freaking Sysiphus' WiFi here, holy hell. Thank GOD I am flying back home tomorrow.)

(Also, the anime is coming out in 3 days and I can barely wait, hence the lack of OOC spoiler with this Chapter Announcement. Yes, I am still.hyped in spite of all the negativity in other places. :3)

[alienposadismo]

Chapter 23 of SD:aATP is up on Ao3! Also - Merry Christmas!

God, I fucking hate seasonal flus... yeah, uh, got one torturing my lungs RN, and it's VERY annoying. But on the brighter side - I got y'all an Apart for Christmas! So yeah, that was a banger to adapt.

Aight, OOC spoiler below, next chapter will be out next wednesday... on the 1st of January. Huh. Neat.

[alienposadismo]

Chapter 22 of SD:aATP is out on Ao3! Also a volcano is keeping my beta reader offline.

Yeah, turns out, it wasn't just schoolwork, but also a literal volcano eruption next door, complete with earthquakes from the aftershocks. Reader IS fine, thankfully, but yeah, quite a bit of a jumpscare. And yes, that does mean the chapter is self-beta'd for the time being, sorry about that, not a lot else I could do.

Anyways, OOC spoiler below, and um, hopefully things get better over there... and over here too, seeing as I am a trans gal in Conservative Hell- I mean Bulgaria.

Next chapter on the coming wednesday- oh shit, that's right after Christmas. Huh.

[alienposadismo]

Chapter 21 of SD:aATP is up on Ao3 in spite of the flight back home to Bulgaria.

Sorry for the delay, Bulgaria and the Balkans are infamously conservative and the flight was a pain in the ass. So yeah, it's gonna be a looooooong month.

Oh, and also, beta reader got a FUCKLOAD of schoolwork, so they are gonna take a bit more for the doublecheck. I did self-beta, but still, sorry for the inconvenience!

Aight, OOC spoiler below, see ya on wednesday!

[alienposadismo]

Wow... this panel sure went a long way. Perfect for SD:aATP and all!

Yeah, needless to say, @bokunocolor cooked HELLA WELL with what he claims to be "just light shading". Weird misnomer for "genuinely impressive AF colour usage" but alas... jokes aside, thanks for that, pal, very much appreciated.

And yes, I did make a version of it for my PFP. I had to, what can I say. Feel free to use it as well if you want to, as long as you credit the sources and all that jazz.

I guess this is the most official possible look for my version of Trans!Aoi? Fuck yeah.

[alienposadismo]

Chapter 20 of SD:aATP is up on Ao3! And boy, was it a treat to write!

That said, I did end up learning I had made a big error in regards to Lu's Chinese (more details in the fic's Notes), and while I did fix the mistake, it still stung like a MF-er.

Anyways, OOC spoiler below, see ya next Wednesday!
