hey, i briefly recalled a dotwd discord server but i can't find it anywhere.. T_T or is my memory mixing it up?

Oh, the old server? Yeah it's dead (because I can't manage a server and IRL anymore). If I ever get to a point where I make a new server and it goes live, I'll let everyone know lol

what were your biggest reasons for restarting dotwd?

(I'll reblog this on @dotwd)

My biggest reasons for restarting Dawn was because I was falling into that trap where... like some AU authors try to rewrite the events of canon but fall too close to canon for comfort? Essentially we're restricting ourselves unintentionally.

Dawn;re actually has multiple rewritten versions. The earliest version of this fic was before it was called DoTWD and was solely on Wattpad back in 2013-2014 (it's deleted now). When I was writing Dawn;re it took months because I had written multiple 10k word chapters that I just... couldn't vibe with. That version was one of my favorites, it was inspired heavily by Fear:TWD and Project Zomboid. But it just didn't fit the vibe for DoTWD AU specifically.

My mainly problem was trying to do something new and adhere to canon, when in an AU--you can do whatever the hell you want, canon be damned. And it's crazy that I had reached about 26 chapters of Dawn to realize that when time comes to wrap up this season; I had essentially deadlocked myself back into this bubble of canon conformity while also having a hundred and fifty different branching ideas tailored for this AU. And I had already published up to S1E3 when I finally concluded that these ideas would be better overall for the story I wanted to tell, I just should've established them earlier.

I was coming up with important things and ironing out details as I went, which tripped me up while writing. Call back to when I stopped, went back and re-published Episode 2 (Chapters 6-8) because it was too linear, boring, and not what I initially wanted.

The hope this time around is that I do what I want right the first publish 'round.

That's the deal with these long gaps, I'm planning out stuff and writing chapters at the same time. If I can't get out of a creative rut, I take a long-ish break. (this is also counting IRL stuff that hinders me lol)

Have an old render ||ヽ(*￣▽￣*)ノミ|Ю

dawn of the walking dead ch. 4 WIPs

#twdg #dotwd au #dotwd au spoilers

so if clem has a redesign for the story but not lee and travis does that mean everyone else is wearing the same out fits or have we just not seen them yet

(first ask in months-)

Some characters have like... WIP/concept art for DoTWD like Kenny and his family, Carley, etc.

Ben's concept has actually been this blog's PFP for months（￣︶￣）, I just hadn't posted it because he hasn't shown up in my fic yet outside of voice cameos.

Here's a sneak peak of Ben:
