Welcome to the revival of ALIEN STAGE SEASON 40! I'm this season's host, @lookatmysillies (main blog @bluemoonscape). You can refer to me as Blue.
ALIEN STAGE Season 40 was formerly run by @junebluues who became too busy with life to continue the season. This revival will span all the way back to Round 1 and through to the end. Some rounds/round results formerly run in the original S40 will remain canonized as long as the owners of the contestants involved agree upon this decision. These rounds will only appear in the very first set of brackets and will be tagged as #predetermined and will not have a poll option. With every other round, any result is possible! These rounds will be indicated by the option to vote for your favorite contestant. No predetermined rounds will persist past the first row of brackets.
Please note that some former creators with participants in Season 39 and the failed run of Season 40 have been removed due to various factors including rigging or inappropriate behavior towards others in our community. Like. Actual grown adults rigging against teenagers' ocs or otherwise acting weird/rude towards others. Their ocs will no longer be included in the rosters to continue making the ALNST fan seasons a safe and fair place for everyone. Thank you for understanding!
Organizational tags will include the following:
round # - # determined by which round it is. Indicates each individual round and any content involved in said round.
official round - Any round considered part of the canon.
unofficial round - Any round that may occasionally appear between rows and/or after the official canon season has concluded.
asks - General asks about this season, how it works, or even questions about last season (@season39).
reblogs - Self-explanatory; non-original posts to this blog.
alnst oc: (insert name here) - Each oc involved in s40 will gain their own tag. An example would be "alnst oc: yael" in posts relating to my OC, Yael.
predetermined - As stated, these rounds will not have polls attached to them and will instead be posted as brief announcements following a results post and any posts involving lore relating to the results.
song requests - Any participant can submit an ask to me including the song they would like their OC to sing for their round. You can also coordinate with the other creator in your round if you want them to sing one song together and submit a song on both of your behalf.
oc announcements - These announcements will be posted in character with our OC announcers of the season, former S39 star Tov (@ivanttakethis) and fresh-faced Zhuli (@apriciticreveries)!
ooc announcements - These announcements will be made by me, the admin, and will relate to important super mega fourth wall breaking information.
alnst oc lore - Lore posts will be tagged with this. Feel free to tag this blog in any of your ALNST S40 OC lore to give them a boost and get them on this blog!
Here is the UPDATED ANAKT GARDEN REGISTRY, created by @alien-til-i-stage/@lulling-riot (love you mwah) and updated by me to reflect Season 39 results. The Season 40 section and beyond is still being updated as I gain more information about the season's updated lineup.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:
If your round is coming up soon, submit your song through my asks to make it official - or else a blank will be submitted in the song section of the round.
PLEASEEEEEE PLEASEEEE if your plan is to have your OC escape, sacrifice themselves, or otherwise at the conclusion of their round (anything unconventional outside of wins and moves on/loses and dies) you've GOT to tell me so I don't mark them incorrectly.
If you are mentioned in this OC lineup, send in your preferred image of your OC to be used in the brackets.
Some rounds may be released late, but not dramatically so.
This post will likely be updated in the future!
Take a seat, prepare to vote and push your favorite contestants through to the next round, and enjoy the show!
this genuinely makes me so mad. some of you really don’t deserve fanfics. at all.
comment like this, besides the ai witch hunt, is one of the reasons why fanfic writers don’t want to post their fics anymore.
we write for free. whenever we can. whenever we have time. whenever we’re not too exhausted by life and responsibilities. we write for our own enjoyment. as a hobby. not a job. we update whenever we can. whenever we want. we do not owe anybody anything.
one of my favorite fics was updated after literal 13 years. but the point is that fanfic writers do not owe you anything. whether a fic was abandoned forever or updated after a decade or two is not something you as a stranger has a say in.
stop being entitled. stop treating fanfic writer as a content farm or a machine that produces contents for your enjoyment.
we’re not your employees. we’re not your slaves. we’re kind enough to share what we write for our own enjoyment with you for free. so either respect and appreciate us or be quiet.
