[CLONE HIGH: BURNT BEACH AU]

Burnt Beach is a JFKonfucius-centric Clone High AU fanfiction that takes place directly after the ending of S3. The story follows a burn-scarred and traumatized Confucius who unexplainably survived the tragedy. To be his main source of comfort and support is not the person he thought it would be... Some aspects of this fic, such as the chapter titles, are vaguely inspired by The First Glass Beach Album. More info in tags. Click below to start reading!

Following last anon, what's your favorite kind of AUs in the clone high fandom?

Anon, you seem like a good kid. I can tell by the sickly pallor of your expressionless orblike head and the glint in your black armless sunglasses. You remind me of me at your age, so I'll level with ya: I don't actually spend a lot of time looking at fanwork. No shade!

As I work on my project, I'm realising that I like The Show Clone High, as much, if not more, than the concept itself. I love the artstyle and snappy irreverent sense of humour, two elements I strive to be faithful to in my comic.

One reason @kimtiny's Ghost AU leaps to mind is because I think it functions very similarly to the show: A high-concept genre premise that never gets bogged down explaining itself (though there is a handy explainer, if that's your bag) and serves as a springboard for jokes. Good jokes! My hot take: These some funny-ass ghosts. Making me laugh is always the shortest route to my heart. (I know they have other AU's and fanclones; I haven't seen enough of them to comment! #fakefan)

That said, a polar opposite example that I've been enjoying is @jfkonfucius' Burned Beach AU. This is unleaded primo fanfic right here. A humbling reminder that though I am a sophisticated 6"2 renaissance man, I'm also not immune to an self-indulgent angsty fluffy slow-burn. Reading it makes me feel how the Golden Girls must when they decide to be naughty and eat a whole cheesecake together. (I'm a Dorothy, fyi) Speaking of delicious, my saliva glands have a Pavlovian response to the artwork. This is a freak way of saying it's good and I like it.

Comedy is always going to be my first preference but any tone/style can be done effectively. Westerns aren't my favourite genre but I am rapt watching 'Unforgiven'. Just because chocolate is your favourite flavour, doesn't mean you can't appreciate a delicious vanilla or mint, y'know?

(CAN YOU TELL HOW HARD I'M TRYING NOT TO STEP ON ANYONES TOES HERE?? AND BROTHER, I'M WEARING CLOWN SHOES)

I've only ever shared my beloved Clone High archive on my old Tumblr account, so I figured I'd better share it on the new one! I'm pleased to announce that after months of no new additions, I have added 30+ new images to the archive tonight! Here's a sneak peek at what you'll find:

Enjoy, Clone High fandom! Come and get your crumbs.

Now that we're one month into the comic I wanted to highlight some of the delightful (if hyperbolic) feedback I've gotten so far:

Shrimpy here has the valour of being a Day One fan! I would say you liked it before it was popular but let's be sensible.

Praise for the art direction?? Buy me dinner first.

Hmmm... they seem to like it when Gandhi

*scribbles note on my clipboard*

🫵 You get it. Learn from this everyone: I play favourites and my favourites are the ones who agree with my complaints.

Cheers to this comment and my followers for being normal so far? It may not sound like much but on tumblr the bar is shockingly low. Nobody has yelled at me for my takes on the characters or de-canonising a beloved pairing.

I'm learning that this blog is not only "peak" but also "based". I am young and have my original hips. 😎

Glad to know people get something out of me rambling in the tags! It’s like directors commentary for nothing!

Not only caught the reference but riffing beautifully in turn! shoutout to da real ones; @jfkonfucius @ativangelism @gspot-rocks-the-gspot @kjmanimation @sopita-instantanea @moondove330 @youdonelostyourmind @kalisseo @tumbleweedsthesecond @unsortedmess @garbagefirelol (If you left a comment or reply in February and I forgot to spotlight it, feel free to kick me until I learn my lesson or stop moving, whichever comes first)

I occasionally have moments excruciating self-awareness where I think “I'm spending SO much time making a webcomic for a dead show, what am I doing??”

but your comments, tags, replies, reblogs, likes and follows remind me that this project is connecting with real life human beings. And I still appreciate you even if you're reading the comic without interacting. Hope you stick around!
