hey dsmp people, if you've been here since Dec 2020 and voted in Tubbo's twitter poll on whether to exile Tommy, could you rb this with which way you voted and why? I'm intrigued.

i didn’t have Twitter at the time but i remember being vehemently on the side of not exiling tommy because I Felt Bad and wanted them to be happy 👍

[randomfansstuff]

if you think the reason and way exile was discussed in todays stream was to establish how it was actually a necessary thing and that the way c!sam reacted to c!dreams words was also the reactions viewers should have then you do not understand the core of the story the dsmp is trying to tell.

if you truly believe that This is what they want you to believe about exile then you. did. not. understand.

SHE'S HERE THIS IS NOT A DRILL THIS IS REAL

Hey y'all. Quick thing now that we know for certain Wilbur is releasing a dsmp short story. Yes, it's great that Wilbur took a loud stance that fanfiction is just as valid and artistic a medium as animatics or art. That was heartwarming and really validating for some of the hardest working fan creators to hear.

However, we need to be careful about not seriously referring to Wilbur's short story as fanfiction. As a meme it's great, but it's not fanfiction. Fanfiction is non-canon material written by fans and typically consumed only by fans. Wilbur is the writer of a huge chunk of the actual plot and characters of the dsmp. He is writing a story that will be treated as canon by his own and other characters mentioned in the story.

Referring to it constantly as fanfiction is going to give people who either 1) don't like what happens or 2) love the Writer Wilbur discourse an easy way to invalidate Wilbur's writing as not important or canonical. The DSMP isn't the first and won't be the last media to use multiple tie-in platforms to tell a story, but the use of multiple mediums to tell a story is a new thing for our fandom. Look at stories that use mixtures of novelizations, comics and television short programs for telling stories that wouldn't normally fit in their normal formats. It's done a lot and can create really cool things.

Wilbur's work is a short story tie-in to the main medium the dsmp uses. It's still an official work and, by definition, isn't a fan work. If he releases it via a fiction site it's mainly because those are the best places to link a story, that a lot of fans already know how to navigate, without having to set up a special location just for it. When talking about Wilbur's work for summaries, meta and references it should be referred to as a shorty story or written tie-in.

Wilbur is a fan of the dsmp in the sense of he enjoys that community and the collaborative writing that has sprung up around it. However, the term fanfiction has a specific meaning that this doesn't fit. Not a big serious thing, but it is worth noting.

I’ve been trying to keep an eye but I’ve been seeing some people getting it and others in a similar situation to me (order placed, no other news) - I haven’t been too up to date with streams either so if there was any mention of it there, I’ve prolly missed it ;;
