#tentative schedule

[eddeearts]

Ok, so I’m thinking of starting a free, bi-weekly doodle raffle to help me draw more often

Here’s a calendar visual of the proposed schedule: the Star marks the start of the raffle. X marks then closing day or entering. I’d then Spin the Wheel and have till Smiley Picture to make the doodle.

This gives me a few days to come up with my parameters and options, as well as make a doodle folder so people can see what to expect, before I start it.

It looks pretty good to me so far!

tentative 2019 Evanstan Round Robin schedule

So here’s what I’ve got so far, based on what people’ve mentioned about preferences - let me know if this doesn’t work, and we can move a slot around or extend by a day or something! Also let me know if there’s anyone I forgot, or if you’re interested and haven’t let me know yet!

They’re all 3-day posting windows, which I think should be okay for a 500 (ish) word length chapter. And we’d sort of been liking the ‘recently established relationship, first holidays together, combining holiday traditions’ general theme - in whatever direction that takes us! I’ll add everyone as AO3 co-authors once I make the AO3 draft of the first chapter. :-)

November 27 - @luninosity

November 30 - @worrisomeme

December 2 - @blackheadedseagull

December 5 - @murderonthemattress

December 8 - @edible-crayon

December 11 - @ahnjunae-blog

December 14 - @amaranthenea

December 17 - @wintersoldier1989

December 20 - @paper-storm

December 23 - @musette22

*December 27 - @luninosity - we do generally let the first author pop back in at the end to get the chance to play properly and respond to someone else’s chapter, but since we’re already up to a posting date of December 27 as far as 2019 goes, I’m thinking of considering this as more of an epilogue or bonus scene, something not 100% necessary and leave-out-able if we run into any posting delays or gain another author or anything, so @musette22 can effectively finish the proper plot/storyline - sound good? (It’s also technically a 4-day posting window but I felt like December 26, the day after Christmas, might be unrealistic as far as busy dates!)

So, I’m not entirely sure if we can do two weeks, but some of you were supportive of that idea, and here’s the tentative schedule if we do have two weeks.

It’s all up to you guys though, so please let me know if you want two weeks or just one!!!

Thank you~!

[killerandhealerqueen]

Okay, so liveblogging plan.  Finish up the last 3 eps of OPLA tomorrow (or today, since it’s Sunday) and then Monday liveblog the last two episodes of The Uncanny Counter 2. 

And then work on my multichapter fics while also finishing up the last prompt and maybe working on two new K&H fics.  While also waiting to hear back from my potential job interviews...as well as having to get my car checked out on Wednesday...oo next week is gonna be busy

Tentative 2020 Schedule

Long post, head’s up.

I get asked a lot about stories going on hiatus, which they never really are, but I’m normally busy with a lot of things, and they’re not always priority for me on a daily basis. So, time slips past me, and it takes a while to upload.

Still, I know how it feels to be burned by fanfic writers (happened to me a lot as a kid, and I didn’t have blogs to follow when I was young for updates, lol). To try giving a vague/rough idea of how I think my posting patterns have settled, I’ll post a mini-schedule kind of thing here.

This year will be divided into quarters (Q#), and within those months, I’ll try updating one or two of my major fanfics. It’s subject to change, hopefully for more than less, hence the ‘tentative‘ bit.

But, it’s also possible that I might not fulfill these times, so, if a period of time goes by and nothing’s updated? Short version is that I suck, idk folks.

So, let’s see how this goes and if I’ll abide by this for the year. 

...

Q1 (January - March) 

Planned update for: Eternally Never Yours, Chapter 45

Q2 (April - June) 

Planned update for: Melting Gelid Roses, Chapter 27 Pushing update for: Eternally Never Yours, Chapter 46

Q3 (July - September) 

Planned update for: Melting Gelid Roses, Chapter 28 Planned update for: Eternally Never Yours, Chapter 47 Pushing update for: Melting Gelid Roses, Chapter 29

Q4 (October - December)

Pushing update for: Melting Gelid Roses, Chapter 30, planned finale 

...

Explanations below the cut. 

...

Ok, first is the planned vs pushing: ‘planned‘ means I’m going to work at doing those and try to get them done within that period, while ‘pushing‘ means I’m going to see if I’ve got the time during that period to pump out another.

Now, for the specifics on each.

...

Q1: I’m currently working on the next chapter of the Super Mario fanfic, Eternally Never Yours. This is a big chapter, because I’m writing up “guidelines” for magic and those that use it. Not only will this be something that I’m writing for this fanfic, but it might be something I look into when I’m writing in the future and original content, so I’m practicing on that.

On top of this, I need to refer backwards to how I’ve written certain characters, as they haven’t had major roles for 4 years. So, I’m trying to maintain continuity and make sure they still act the same as they did, while certainly expanding on their roles. Also, I’m addressing specific character dynamics, some which people have been excited for and criticized about.

My original plan was to get this out in January, but that’s unlikely to happen, so I’m hoping to have it ready by the end of March. Does that mean it will take until then to complete and post? Gracious, I certainly hope not. But, I’ve miscalculated by assuming the time I’d have for writing in the past, so I’m giving myself the appropriate cushion room to work within.

...

Q2: Up next will be the Pokémon fanfic, Melting Gelid Roses. This will be a continuation from the previous chapter, but also redefines roles for characters. Well, some redefining, others getting spotlights they’ve desperately needed, and several more continuing to be their best. Slight spoilers: it’s going to be a combat chapter. If you didn’t see that coming, there you go.

This is the beginning of the end for this fanfic, and I’m planning on moving onto the sequel after it wraps up this year. This chapter will be the last time I’ll be writing certain characters until the next story, so I need to make sure they’ve got their stage set. At least one minor character will be getting a boosted role in the next story, and it’s likely going to be more than one, and it’s not based only on the soldiers of the main kingdom. So, I’ve got important pivots to set up.

At the same time, since summer is coming and I’m praying that I’ll start getting more free time, I’m going to try my best to get an update for Eternally Never Yours out during this time as well. I’m not holding myself to that, so it’s possible that this update will be pushing back the other ones that follow. But, I want to try getting it out there. This one returns to the main romance of the story, and will hopefully be a resting chapter. After all, they’re coming back from the assault on Peach’s Castle, so, they’ll need to cool down.

If I’m keeping pace with my updates, these both should be out by June. If not, I’ll try to let readers know.

...

Q3: For whatever reason, I think my largest amount of free time exists somewhere between July and September. In my head, that doesn’t sound right, but I’m pretty sure my consistent updates tend to roll out during this time, on a yearly basis. I could be wrong, I’m not fact checking myself on that, so if I’m wildly off, whoops. Nevertheless, I’m planning heaviest around here.

There will be a period for two updates to the Pokémon fanfic. Again, I’m planning on having this one finally come to a close, and I’m pretty much scrounging up my best efforts to end it this year. No, that’s not a guarantee, but I’m really giving it a strong effort, because I do want it to be done before 2021. So, this is when I’m planning for the double update.

First chapter returns to the Empire for the war fallout, and shows where everyone is at following their recoveries and catching up. I’m hoping to properly capture the grieving process and melancholic nature that should be during this time, because hey, other characters died, and the main cast should be shaken by that. Hard. The follow-up chapter will shift the focus to characters that were also impacted by these events, and while they’re not normally main cast, they’re going to appear in the future, and need their time to adjust as well.

Finally, I’m also planning on including an update for the Super Mario fanfic in between those two chapters above. This one will be sending heroes back into their battles as well, and we’re going to finally address the seventh area, the Sky Kingdom. It’s going to be the next location for Peach, Luigi, and the others to fight back for. The boss there will be someone important, though, so...wonder how that’ll turn out for both sides.

Since this is a tentative schedule, stuff might get pushed back, and I’m piling hardest on here, so I can’t promise that it’ll work out. But, this gives us something to go by.

...

Q4: Hello to my absolute worst quarter of the year to update. The holiday season bogs me down without mercy each and every year. This is when I lie to myself and think, “I can probably do two updates, there are 3 months, I’ve got time for that.” Then reality ensues, and I realize, “No, I don’t have that kind of free time for myself.“ It’s possible that I might put nothing out after October or November, and by December? Forget it.

In spite of that, I’m going to do my best to make this the period for Melting Gelid Roses to finally reach its ending. Yes, that does break the balance of updates. Eternally Never Yours is not ending this year, however, I know that for a fact. So, it can take a little time to rest while the Pokémon fanfic wraps up. Like this year, I will probably start 2021 working on the Super Mario fanfic again.

As this is the final chapter of MGR, it basically settles affairs for the main cast and collects everyone back together. What does that mean? They’re repositioning for the third story. When’s that going to start? Hopefully next year. But as the year ends, so will MGR. There’s more to come after, but this will be the second book’s closing, and it will need some prep to get there.

There’s a plan that I’ve debating on following through with, which will involve audience participation. If I can get the third story’s titles brainstormed by this time, that will be included. But the main concept depends on how I want to proceed with select characters, if I want their stories to end with MGR as they are, or if they will do more. Should I decide on trying this, then I’m going to be asking readers to help me narrow those selections down from several to one or two only. This is meant to be a cryptic tease, so that’s all I’ll mention.

Again and again, this is my absolute worst update quarter. If I don’t get to this chapter here, or if I needed to push other updates back, then it’s spilling over to 2021. I don’t want to, but I’m not going to crush myself over updating strictly on time.

...

These are plans, and plans are malleable, they change. If I don’t abide by these, please don’t turn around with, “BuT EcHo YoU tOLd uS ThIs!” I’m human, life changes at the drop of a dime, this is free reading, things happen, and this is not a committed schedule. These are guidelines I’m hoping to follow, but I might end up tumbling off the path.

This is meant to give readers a place to refer to so they can check and see what my plans are. Months will go by, I won’t update. But, this can give a little comfort that I’ve got something in the works for this year at various intervals.

Please understand that I am trying, please understand that it’s a juggling act, and please understand that I have other, real world matters that will override priorities for these stories.

But please also feel free to continue interacting and asking questions beyond update periods. Sometimes the strongest way to help encourage me to persist is feedback, and interacting following chapters. If I’m in a period where I haven’t updated, feel free to mention what your favorite chapters, scenes, and characters were. Feel free to mention some hopes you have for the story; who knows, that might influence me.

Thank you all for your support so far. I’ll continue to try my best.

Personal thoughts and ideas are like the character. That is the nature of roleplay. SWAG77 only seriously roleplays with members and not with any individuals we do not know. In fact we won’t argue, we block. If you disagree with our portrayal and feel yours is better, we wish the best of luck to you, but you will not break our storylines, they’ve been written a long time ago as to how we will handle certain incidences from tropes, to metas, to headcanons and to fanfictions. These elements are meant for us, they are not meant for hate. This blog and website will answer any legitimate questions. If we find that harassment comes from this post, we will report you.

Victuri Bang 2018 (Round 2)

First off, a belated Happy New Year/Happy Holidays to everyone! I apologize this is taking time to post. I’ve had guests all month long so I’ve been busy. However, I have been planning the next round of Victuri Bang and now I’m ready to give some news with that! Yay!

For the most part, the rules will stay the same. We’re going to be a regular bang where writers will write a story of at least 5K and artists will draw for it (for this round, I’m going to ask that every artist draw at least 2 pieces of art. If you want to do more, you are welcome to. You are also welcome to take on more than one writer to draw for but use your time wisely). The main thing is that Victuri must be in the spotlight. You can have other couples but make sure Victor and Yuuri are in the focus. You can do canon fic, AU, NSFW, etc. Just make sure you label everything properly. 

There will be some tiny changes as well to make things run smoother. One change will be is that a person can be allowed to be a writer and an artist if they want (of course, you can drop out of one role if you feel it’s too much). Another change we will have is that there will be a discord chat opening up. It’s a chat room where you can chat with your fellow writers/artists to get feedback, bounce ideas off, or just simply talk. You’re not required to join but you can if you want to. The link for the room will be posted when we’ve settled everything. 

Here is a tentative schedule for next round. You will note that it will open around spring. Reason for that is that this winter is going to have another Victuri bang (a reverse bang that I will mention later) and Victuuri week round 2 is starting end of this month! I don’t want to overlap too much with the other stuff so people can have time to plan without getting overwhelmed. 

So a tentative schedule (it can change, it’s not set in stone but this is more or less what I’m thinking):

April 9th - sign ups for writers and artists open

May 31st - sign ups for writers close

June 11th - sign ups for artists close (the reason this gets long is cause we tend to get less artists usually so they get a tad bit more time)

July 3rd - writers must have a short summary with necessary tags ready. It doesn’t have to be long or detailed, just a short 3-5 sentence paragraph of what you think is important to know. These will be used for claiming. Your summary is due now. 

July 7th - claims open and will stay open for a week or at least until all summaries are claimed by at least one artist. 

July 31st - 1st check in. You don’t need anything done yet. This is just to make sure you’ve contacted your partner and have exchanged words. 

August 20th - 2nd check in. At this point, I’m expecting you to have started your work and you’re still in contact with each other. Let me know if you have lost contact and you can’t get a hold of your partner. This is also when pinch hitters sign up will probably open. 

September 10th - Final check in. You will need at least 2500 words done by now. This will be the last day to drop out and to let us know. If you don’t reply by now or haven’t mentioned why you’ll be late, I will assume you have dropped out and I will be calling in pinch hitters. Pinch hitters will have less time to write/create so make note of that.

October 8th - Your assigned posting date will be given. By then, you should have at least 80% done, if not completely finished.

Oct 15-22nd - Posting begins. We’ll have a collection for fics on AO3 and so forth. 

Again, it’s not set in stone but this is more or less what I’ve put together. You will get more details right before we open, I promise. This will give you guys some time to think and prepare, I think. 

I’m also going to see if I can get at least 2 or 3 more people to help mod. It gets hard to do with two people so a few more hands can help. It won’t be hard, just answer a few questions, keep people on their toes, etc. Details for that will also pop up some time next month. 

Finally, if you’re still hankering for some bang goodness, @yurionicebigbang is going to open up their sign ups soon! It’s also a Victuuri bang that’s run by Mac/@katsukifatale  and it’s a reverse bang. A reverse bang is when, instead of writers writing a summary and artists picking from the summary, the artist draws some initial sketches and has a short summary and the writer writes based off the drawings. It’s another fun event and the sign up will open around Jan 7th for artists, late Feb for writers. 

I think I’ve covered everything for now. I’ll revisit this blog to answer questions when I get a chance! This is basically a tentative idea for round 2 and I hope things will go much smoother now!

Til next time!
