[incorrect-potc-quotes]

Unfortunately there will be no incorrect quote today. This blog has been going on for over a year now, and I greatly appreciate the support, but I'm starting to get burnt out from doing posts every single day, so I'm moving the schedule to once a week to give myself some breathing room. Thank you for your support and understanding. The next incorrect quote will be posted this Saturday at the usual 8 am Pacific Standard Time, and new posts after that will always be posted on Saturdays

STG/WOI ANNOUNCEMENT

Tl;dr : Surviving the Game is going to be on Sunday only updates for the foreseeable future and Whispers of Insanity will be moving to Wednesdays.

So, this is something I was hoping to avoid, but alas. I have, somehow, hurt my wrist. The left one this time, so it's my non-dominate hand but fucking hell I still need it to type. Anyhoo. I'm in a lot of pain and it'll be god only knows before I can actually go to a doctor about it. 'Merica. Fuck no...

That being said, the coop fic with @sourgummibears -Whispers of Insanity- will be moving to Wednesdays and should continue to update regularly. Thanks to all of you for your continued support! Be good people! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

Happy three years everybody! As always, there’s a lot to say on the occasion, so pop in at the end of the post for the tl;dr if you don’t have time for my detailed diatribes, haha

Boy, time flies, huh? Feels like the second anniversary was just yesterday, but maybe that’s just the several long hiatuses getting to me. I’ve been scarce on uploading anything anywhere for a while now, even though I promised I’d actually pick up the slack this time around. What gives? Well…

For one, college hell, and for two, a lot of unfounded anxiety about putting my art out there. Allow me some theatrics for a moment and I’ll actually get back to the comic at hand… I’ve never had an exceptionally supportive environment for making art. It wasn’t suppressive, not in the slightest, but it also wasn’t… encouraging. It was always treated as a hobby or a distraction rather than something I was allowed to be fully proud of, especially because a lot of my art focused on more cartoon-y and fantasy ideas, rather than still life studies and painting (which people generally outside of the art sphere tend to value more, arbitrarily). Couple that with a childhood full of being bullied over minute shit you hadn’t even considered could be an issue before, and you get a teenager hellbent on never sharing his interests or ideas with anyone, mostly due to the fear of rejection.

I’ve grown, thankfully, but that paranoia and fear doesn’t go away overnight. As I’m sure you all know, Meowchela was the one who originally encouraged me to post this comic, and the only reason she succeeded was because she was the first person in a long time who listened and engaged with my interests and my art in a meaningful way. It’s kind of obvious her friendship had a profound impact on me, and I’d cite her as one of the reasons I was even hopeful enough to apply to an art college in the first place! This comic, and that bond with another person, proved that maybe these things I’m so passionate about weren’t duds, and weren’t something I had to keep to myself.

So, fast forward a few years. About three years, in fact.

During one of my classes, right before this hellish two weeks of exams started, one of the class assistants talked me into showing my comic pages to one of my professors. He’s generally a pretty open guy when it comes to new mediums, but I’m always… apprehensive about showing my less “traditional art”-y things to professors, but, he ended up being genuinely proud of it. Specifically, I showed him pages 85-87 (because they’re my favourites) and, he didn’t read the text, just the visuals were enough for him to say “good job, keep it up” (which is HIGH praise from that guy). When I mentioned I’ve been meaning to simplify the visuals because I didn’t have time to work on the comic very often because of college and classes, he dismissed it on principle. I was honestly caught off guard. Heavily paraphrasing, he suggested that worsening the visuals for an arbitrary deadline was counterproductive to making something that’s Good™.

That’s kinda stuck with me. For a good few years now I was more focused on optimisation rather than visual improvement for the comic, and though it HAS contributed to better visuals in some ways (cutting corners sometimes makes for a less pointy and jagged end result), it’s kind of weird I’m treating an art project that way, isn’t it? I set a lot of… arbitrary deadlines and standards for myself, in the form of expectations and what I “should” or “shouldn’t” be doing at certain stages in my life. I’ve thought of Dread Not as a passion project second and a stepping stone first, if I’m being honest. As if it was too… fandom-y and derivative to be treated with more gravity than that, like it’s an immature project because I was still a child when I came up with it. As if it was something I’m making to Build Up to Something Else, something Bigger and Cooler and More Important, and… the more I think about the future of Dread Not, and even my future career options, the more I realised that’s, ironically, a really immature way to think about it.

If there’s one thing going to this art college has taught me, is that there’s no ��right” way to make art, and there’s no “right” way to success as an artist. There’s no clear-cut paths, just more commonly treaded roads, but even those are heavily overgrown. Why should I try to box myself into thinking I have to make things from complete scratch to be taken seriously? What’s so bad about Dread Not as a story and as a comic that’s caused me to vaguely keep it under wraps when conversing with people in my day-to-day life? Why wouldn’t I put all these skills I’ve acquired to improve and expand this project that’s Right There, WAITING for me to finally get off my ass and get pages out there again?

I wish I could say I’ve used all this time away in a particularly clever way, but I really haven’t - at least, it feels like I haven’t. My art has undoubtedly improved over time (though admittedly the art for this post was Very rushed, fuckin exams), and while I’ve been working on projects in the background, chipping away at them in a VERY disorganised way, I haven’t been posting that progress anywhere, and I haven’t made any good progress on my biggest project, Dread Not, because of the other ones. And, honestly? Admitting that kinda stings. This comic means a lot to me, and I wish I actually gave it the time and attention it deserves instead of letting it sit out hiatus after hiatus because I keep failing at structuring my time.

So, my new plan is a little more abstract: find a way to work Dread Not into my school schedule, and slowly build a habit of working on it more often. No clue how long that’ll take, but I think it’ll be worth it to consider it as an option, and hopefully finally end these long, drawn out hiatuses with short bursts of uploads in-between. HOPEFULLY. Building habits was never my strong suit, so please bear with me while I figure this out in what will probably be the most hectic upload schedule in this comics history, which is: no schedule at all.

From now on (until the end of Act 1), I’ll upload pages when they’re ready, and depending on how the weeks go and how complex the page is, they could be weeks or days apart from one another. Hell, some might even take a month to finish if school stuff gets REALLY hectic (god knows Hellish Exam Week number 1 and number 2 won’t be giving me much time to work on the comic), but I’m determined to do this. I want to be able to put my all into this project again!!

(And hopefully finish Act 1 by the end of this semester…)

TL;DR: College is giving me life lessons I didn’t expect, and because of them I’ve decided to give myself a non-existent upload schedule for Dread Not: Pages will be posted when they’re ready, and the spacing between pages could wildly vary depending on circumstances and the actual complexity of the page itself.

As always, thank you for being here, thank you for reading, and thank you for being patient!

If all goes well, there will be new content very, very soon.

F1 Big Bang 2024 Schedule + Announcements

HERE WE ARE AGAIN FOLKS

Welcome Welcome Welcome to the F1 Big Bang of 2024!

There are a few changes this year, so please be sure to read through this post.

Firstly, we have a mod change! @nobrakesdown will be helping us out this year both in admin stuff and the discord! They will have the tag mod!cove on any posts.

Secondly, we are going to (attempt) staggering fic release dates this year. This means that after proposals are claimed and matches are made, teams will be able to pick their preferred posting date (more information will become available for this process when we are a bit closer.)

Third, we are also planning on opening the collection for amnesty posting after all the teams have posted their works. This means that if you have signed up but are unable to submit a proposal, and still complete a work, you will be able to post that work to the collection during that period.

Speaking of the collection, through technical difficulties, this is the correct AO3 collection for 2024. Unfortunately Tabs has had to take a leave of absence from the event, and as such we are unable to access the first 2024 collection that they made, nor are we able to access the parent collection. If this changes, an announcement will be made, but for now the right collection is (f1bigbang_2024) on ao3.

Finally, we have moved the schedule up but have not shortened it. It is as follows:

• Writer + Artist Priority Signup: March 15-30

• Writer + Artist Late Signup: April 1 - June 7 (writers) OR June 14 (artists)

• Checkpoint #1: May 7 (optional)

• Writer Proposals Due: June 15

• Writer Proposals Preview: June 18

• Priority Artist Claims: June 19-20

• Second + Late Artist Claims: June 21-22

• Checkpoint #2: July 31 (mandatory for artists)

• Final Works Due: August 27

• Collection opens/works revealed starting: September 1

As always, if you have any questions the ask box will be open or you can join our discord and as questions there as well!!

Thanks all!!! Happy writing!

BenzGarfield Schedule Update:

This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans FIRST PREMIERE Friday, July 5, 2024

[takopartyzine]

Schedule update: We were planning for mod applications to open today, unfortunately we needed to push this date to next week due to reasons we'll explain in another post. We hope you understand this change and we apologize for the inconvenience.

[darkcarnivalcomic]

argh i forgot to post this here. starting this week i’m going back to 2x a week uploads again! pages will go up every monday and thursday for a few months likely until i start school again

[blot-squisher]

A few quick announcements! Sunday's update will be a few hours late. I have to get up early for work so I can't stay up to post at midnight like I like to. Boo. There will not be a STG update this Wednesday (May 1st) due to, once again, work. Boooooo. And lastly, both STG:L2 and Whispers of Insanity will be going on a two week break (most likely) early to mid May. It looks like I'll finally be going back down to Texas to get all our crap out of storage, finishing this hellish move. More details on the break will be posted when I have actual dates locked down.

[bloodmoonzine]

❤️ Schedule Update! ❤️
