001. 【ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ．ｅｘｅ】 | (download now)

L o g g i n g _ I n . . . Heavily inspired by late 90s PC & Internet aesthetics & pastel VaporWave, AESTHETIC.exe is a fun, colourful way to provide information about your characters! If you started your writing/rp journey in the early 2000s like I did, this template is going to hit home in quite a few ways! ♥

INCLUDED This is a single-character template with 5 Portrait-Format pages. • Log-In page (not pictured). • Backstory/History page. • Personality/Traits page. • Aesthetic/Appearance page. • Connections/Relationships page.

HOW TO USE/EDIT • When you gain access to the doc, use "File > Make a Copy" • Do NOT remove the credit/links on the pages. • Do NOT allow others to make copies of your copy. • This template comes with a detailed "Instruction Manual" page at the end to help you navigate customizing some of the tables/drawings included. All images were designed by me.

ETC . . . • Feel free to contact me if you have questions or need help! • I sometimes stream the creation process of these templates on Twitch and would love if you dropped by! • Likes are lovely, but reblogs go far here, so please consider sharing! • Find more info in my pinned post or about page!

[fauxriot]

UPDATE

AESTHETIC.exe has been updated and is live again for purchase! Truthfully, very little had to be edited, thankfully, but I did what I could to make the template easier to navigate while customizing, as well as adding/editing the 'instructions' page included at the bottom of the doc.

I think, to date, this is still my favourite template I've ever made, so I hope you all enjoy it!

Update(s)!

Three new docs went live last week! I'm happy to be back to making templates, and already have a few ideas in mind for some new ones, so keep an eye out!

My Ko-Fi now (finally) accepts Stripe payments! It only took months of back-and-forth with their customer support to fix whatever issue my account had, but now everything is good and connected!

With Stripe & PayPal now available, I'm going to be accepting commissions soon! I've been working on an info sheet for that, and a form to be filled out, and I'm super nervous excited to offer personalized templates and docs. Hopefully by the end of this week, I'll have the commission info live and up!

I've added a Ko-Fi/Templates section to my Discord server for anyone who needs help with any of the templates, has questions about anything, would even like help creating their own, sharing ideas/feedback, or even just wants to find a new community to spend time with! The invite link is available in my last post, in my pinned post, and on my Ko-Fi!

Discord Access!

I've (finally) created a Ko-Fi/Google Docs category & channels in my Discord Server, for anyone interested in more frequent updates, being able to talk about templates, and especially if anyone has questions about how-to-use or edit the templates I have available!

https://discord.gg/v6VnqN6je9

This Invite link will get you in, and if you've ever made a purchase from my Ko-Fi, you should instantly get the Barista role in the Server!!

I'm excited to include Discord access finally, as I'm much more active there than here or on tumblr, and am available for any questions or chats. I want to use the server as a way to include you in how I go forward making templates, whether it's through ideas and opinions, polls, or giveaways! Hope to see you in there!

Hello, lovelies! Have I got an update for you.

I know it's been over a year since I've shared any new templates, and I'm excited to let you know I have 3 on the way very soon, including a Tarot inspired doc that I am just vibrating with joy to share with everyone!

Here's the Thing™️ though. This past week I was admitted to the hospital for a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot — in my case a Very Large one — in the lungs). Thankfully, my prognosis is hopeful, and I'm being released today as an out-patient. Not-so-thankfully, this comes with some very expensive prescriptions and equipment that I'll need for the next 6 months — it's $600 just to get me out the door today, for one thing.

I'm unemployed right now, and my Ko-Fi is one of the few ways of making any extra income, so I wanted to just signal-boost a little bit and remind everyone that all my doc templates are pay-what-you-can. I won't be adding prices onto the already free docs, like First Draft, but it does sting a little to know that even with over 700 downloads of First Draft alone, I've only ever earned about $30 from that doc in 2 years.

This post is getting long, but I also wanted to add that I also have two poetry chapbooks available on my Ko-Fi as well that I released back in September. If you like werewolves, cannibalism-as-a-metaphor, or liminal spaces, you might enjoy them!

Thank you so much for your support, I'm so glad to see these docs appreciated and used. I wholly understand that lots of people will not be able to purchase docs or donate, so the next best thing would be if you could just reblog this post and help it spread, thank you so much!

Visit fauxRIOT's Ko-fi Shop!

Support Me on Ko-fi!

All my love, fauxRIOT 💗

from This Colour of the Sky (and other poems written on my phone at 4am), my recently released chapbook!

DOC THIEF

I hate to have to put someone on blast but I have to ask if you see this individual on Discord, that you don't allow them to use this stolen copy of my doc. Here are the screenshots:

This is where I found them redistributing and had that post deleted but if you see this copy of Murcott anywhere else, please don't allow this person to use it. They posted it for others to make copies off of their stolen copy. Murcott is my most stolen doc, if you have purchased it or any of my docs, please, please remember to follow to steps to make it so someone can't copy yours.

To prevent people from making copies of your docs - select the blue SHARE button in the top right corner of your doc - hit the settings gear on the right corner of the pop-up - UNCHECK the box that says "Viewers and commenters can see the option to download, print, and copy"

Please like and reblog so that people are aware that stolen docs are going around and people are purposely posting them. I don't want to share their full Discord id but I have made a copy of their ID number and I have their email address which looks like it is this individual's full name. I'm currently not employed for personal reasons and this is my only source of income at this time. These actions harm me greatly and all I ask for is respect. Please be aware that doc creators aren't some giant corporation, we are just people. Please be kind.

PLEASE DO YOUR PART BY ALWAYS TURNING OFF COPIES! And if you see someone using a stolen doc, please tell me. I'm very thankful one of my followers made me aware of this individual. Thank you so much to them!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE never redistribute docs, even if they’re free.

[fauxriot]

The passive aggressive, gloating behaviour is just absolutely atrocious.

Please remember to lock your docs. It doesn't just protect the creators of the templates, it can prevent people from copying and stealing your writing and character information (locking a doc disables the ability to select and copy/paste anything written in the doc).
