So the downside of this whole thing is that, by no longer writing a Desus fic, now I have to rewrite everything in a new POV, and losing the Daryl and Jesus POVs also means losing all the stuff I was doing with them and Beth and Tara, and Aaron and Eric, which was so fun for me. And I have to figure out if I can actually bear to write a fic from Merle's POV or go for the safe, yet far less interesting OMC POV.
Here, as a parting gift, enjoy the cover for the fake in-world magazine (sponsored by Rick Grimes, No. 1 Desus shipper, himself) I was making for funsies. I had several pages made already and a heap more planned, with mock interviews and everything. Although I am also probably the only one entertained by this.
maybe i don't even write desus anymore maybe i only write merle/omc and everyone can suck it <3
Just an FYI, I have temporarily removed all bar one of my Desus WIPs. They'll be back when I am vibing Desus again and also have time to finish them.
Hi there! I'm the one who commented that Jerle was unrealistic last night, I just meant that Merle has been presented as a very bigoted character and never in the show would he have a big gay love story but I do like how you've developed them! In a world where Merle can redeem himself, I do think it makes sense!
I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to say it wasn't good or thought-out.
I have the nagging thought that Merle would never but that's the point of fanfic! If you want him to have his gay crush, he should!
I feel kinda guilty, I feel like my comment was the last straw and I really didn't mean it like that! So again, I'm sorry, and I hope you write the story you want to write!
All you can do now is vote for where you think it should have ended: https://www.tumblr.com/not-so-austen/823606142320230400/just-a-heads-up-to-anyone-reading-prison-due-to?source=share
Look, okay, I just want to get to the point where, if you search my username on your search engine of choice, it associates me with Desus. "Who is Not_So_Austen?" you will ask. "A big ol' Desus fan," it will reply.
Actually, maybe I want it to be Daaron (or Daaric)
Just a heads up to anyone reading Prison: due to reader feedback I will be removing the last few chapters and ending the fic. The latest chapters, where the background pairings start to be explored will become part of a sequel for those who are interested. I'm not sure where I want to end it, however, so you can weigh in.
Will it be:
The reunion in the forest: Daryl and Paul meet again, share their first kiss.
OR The safe house after Terminus: The family are reunited, a little bruised, but together, ready to face the future side-by-side.
Where to end In the Prison of His Days?
The reunion in the forest
The safe house after Terminus
Or a third option you can voice in the replies I guess.
Ah, the old debate about Daryl's age cannot be escaped and it may never be definitively answered
I'm not writing another instalment of the TV Star AU, but there's this

I don't have time to work on all the fics I've got sitting in my drive. I don't have time to make this either, if we're being honest. But maybe someone else does?
no you have to contribute to your fandom if you don't want it to die. most fandoms die because people say 'it's so sad watching the fandom die when the hype dies' without doing anything about it. I'm not saying you have to push out 100k word slow-burn fic, I'm not saying you have to make fan art or gif sets or edits or anything. I'm just saying we as a community should contribute to our fandom if we don't want it to die, and by contributing, I'm talking about giving kudos, commenting on your favorite fics, reblogging your favorite art and just talking about your favorite characters. that's enough to keep a fandom alive. that's the most effective way to keep a fandom alive in my humble opinion.
fandoms die because people stop talking about it, fandoms die because people stop engaging with fan content once the hype is gone. what I'm saying is, mainstream media's hype may be gone, but our fandom can stay alive and thriving if us as a community don't let it die.
More people should read Gabriel/Aaron actually. And more people should write Gabriel/Aaron and comment on Gabriel/Aaron and love Gabriel/Aaron. It's so good
I mean, look at them
And that off-the-charts manic thing you do? It's off the charts.
