Yeah, sorry, this is a Star Wars blog now. Night_Fury on AO3, author of the Shoulder the Sky series. Aggressively Pro-Jedi. Fantastic icon is drawn by @wolfspider-appreciation.
“Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.” -- Discworld (Snuff)
While we wait for a second printing of my book, here's a new comic l've been working on in between other projects that I finally finished. This is actually my longest comic ever, at just under 40 pages. 😵💫 I'll be sharing more parts of it this week but of course you can read the whole thing early for just a buck! Here!
i need to write a background jedi oc. i go onto the sw wiki. i find a species labeled as xenophobic or hostile or bad-tempered. i now have a species for my background jedi oc.
I need to practice action scenes/poses, and so this happened. At first I only drew Obi-Wan, and then a Togruta and a human child snuck in there somehow… And then space background happened because it’s Star Wars. I really love Star Wars. I need more Obi-Wan Kenobi content in my life.
Alright, to ao3's soon to be arriving Wattpad Refugees, a basic guide to general user culture:
1.) Unlike Wattpads vote system that let's you like each chapter, the ao3 equivalent kudos only allows one per work. Everyone is generally quietly annoyed about this. To engage with each chapter, you're heavily encouraged to comment. Trust me, it makes people's day.
2.) Ao3 has no algorithm. By default it's latest updated work first. You can find things to your taste through searches, filters and tags.
3.) 'No archive warnings apply' and 'user has chosen not to use archive warnings' mean two very different things. No archives warnings means the work is free from any content that could require a warning tag (character death, graphic depictions of violence, non-con, etc). User has chosen not to use archive warnings means it could contain any of the warning content, be it hasn't been explicitly tagged. Treat it like an allergen. No archive warnings apply is allergen free. User has chosen not to use archive warnings, may contain traces or whole chunks of the allergen. If you're likely to have a bad reaction, maybe don't take the risk.
4.) Speaking of warnings, ao3 has very few restrictions on the type of work that's allowed. Whatever your personal thoughts or feelings on that are, thats how the site is. You're likely to run across some dark subject matters and a lot of people are uncomfortable with reading that. You're well within your rights not like these works and have your opinion on whether they should be allowed, but harassing the authors of such works (or any works) is more likely to come back on you than them. Ao3 operates on a strong policy of 'don't like, don't read'. Use the tagging system to your full advantage to only engage with the kind of works you want to see.
We look forward to welcoming you all and seeing the fantastic works you create. Happy writing!
Thanks @shortcuts-make-long-delays and @shootingstarpilot for the tags – apologise for the delay. I always appreciate the kick to get my WIP doc back open! 🫶
enjoy @shootingstarpilot :)
...sorry? 😆 💕
no pressure tags for @anaclastic-azurite, @codythecheshirecat, @coline7373, @dontbelasagnax, @notthestarwar
I’m so pressed about how evil this company is that I’m reposting Alex’s gofundme over here. They’re trying to bury Alex under so many legal fees that they have no choice but to give up their ip… and they’re only one of many many people (and pets!) that have been harmed by this company.
Oh to have a dinosaur that behaves like a big, friendly Golden Retriever.
Do you think I wouldn't forfeit all of my worldly possessions to Lucky? You'd be wrong. The Rancher literally upped moved to find a bigger home for their prehistoric child and that is a VALID life choice.
Depending on how work goes this year it might be a while before the actual final piece sees the light of day - so I'm releasing the animatic for the Guards! Guards! animated trailer on the unsuspecting public.
I was hoping it could work as both a trailer/intro animation to a non-existant Guards! Guards! animated show, and I think it turned out pretty neat! I hope you enjoy.
