#and actually update the page

[koqabear]

(it was meee who sent the taegyu stepcest ask, yeah i get what you mean cause just typing that out sounds so out of pocket 😭)

but omggg as much as i love take it! i would have absolutely gobbled up this version. i needed to sit down just to read your reply. please post the snippet. i beg as your humble devoted reader 🙏

i feel like the original planned fic for take it! would've been so messy and dramatic... even more than it already was i mean

i honestly think this wip would be what take it! was meant to be originally. it has some of the same key points, but this one? it's gonna be a terrible rollercoaster of emotions i fear,,, this is a threat.

snippet beneath the cut ! :D and oh yeah. member reveal ! ^^

“Geez, you couldn’t bother waiting just a little?” you hear, a heavy hand landing on your shoulder and pulling you in close before you can properly process it; without warning, Taehyun is pulling you into him, an innocent smile on his face when you look at him in shock. 

“Smells good,” he hums, pulling you along and back into the sight of your parents; the atmosphere is just as stale as you remember it to be, ignoring the pleased look on your mother’s face as Taehyun leads you towards them sweetly. “I can see why you were in such a rush to get back down here.”

The sight of your mother’s flattered expression and the continuation of Taehyun’s kiss-ass comments makes it hard for your face to remain neutral; slumping back into your seat, you opt to remain silent as the two brothers begin to rave about the meal in front of them— your mother gushes and beams at the onslaught of compliments, and you’ve found yourself to have already lost your appetite by the time you’ve noticed Seojun’s eyes filled with pride from the interactions. 

“Everything okay?” You feel as though you’ve been placed under a microscope for observation; when you turn to the owner of the voice, you find Yeonjun staring at you intensely— when your eyes meet his, he glances down at your plate, his brows furrowing in concern as he continues. “You’ve barely touched anything. Are you feeling okay?” 

“Oh, uhm,” everyone’s attention has turned to you; the sudden spotlight has you stuttering stupidly, eyes glued to your plate as you move your food around nervously. “I’m fine. Just… not very hungry.”

“Sweetie, why didn’t you say so?” your mother asks, the name bringing a chill over you; though her face is washed with concern, you still catch something buried deep within her gaze— that familiar sternness, a feeling of humiliation she could never hide from you; the gentleness of her smile feels just as strained as the rest of her. 

“You shouldn’t have let me serve you if you knew it would go to waste,” she reasons; the silence that takes over is swift and painful— the heavy feeling of mortification that drops on you renders you silent.

“It’s no big deal,” Yeonjun suddenly chimes in, reaching over for your plate; you can only sit there in silence as he drags it away from you and towards himself, the sweet smile he sports enough to pacify your mother, “I can finish it for her— I was going to ask for seconds anyway.”

“Oh, Yeonjun,” your mother fawns, face alight with joy like a switch flipped inside her, “you’re too kind— you don’t have to force yourself to cover for her mistakes.”

Yeonjun laughs, the sound making your stomach twist with unease. “No really, it’s alright. It’d be a shame to leave this untouched.”

“Awh,” your mother coos, placing a hand over her heart in gratitude— she glances over at you to make sure you show the same appreciation, “He’s so sweet, isn’t he ___?”

“Yeah,” you say blankly, ignoring the way Yeonjun’s gaze lingers on you for a moment too long. You’ve begun to drown out their painfully saccharine exchange; all you can do is stare at the empty table in front of you, knowing that if you dismissed yourself early, your mother wouldn’t let you hear the end of it.

The atmosphere lightens up in no time; Yeonjun and your mother have clicked perfectly, talking and laughing like they’ve known each other their whole lives— Seojun is positively beaming from the exchange. 

Across from you, Taehyun remains silent— not a word spoken all of dinner, except to compliment your mother’s cooking; he doesn’t bother to join into whatever engaging conversation the other three seem to be having, but he listens intently and laughs along nonetheless. For the first time in years, the picture-perfect family is seated before you. 

A feeling of discomfort sits atop your stomach the whole night.

ISAT's script is finished!

With this page, one year and nearly three months after it began, we're officially concluding ISAT's script. It's done. (Hopefully) every single ounce of text to be found on ISAT has been dutifully transcribed and put up for your reading pleasure.

Is this the end of the ISAT Script Project?

In short: No!

In long: Not for a while yet. We've still got START AGAIN: a prologue left to cover, and there's been interest at looking at In Stars and Time DEMO as well, since that features some exclusive scenes that may be interesting to all.

In addition to that, Gold has been looking into whether we can make the site bilingual, and also host the japanese script! Newcomer to the squad LunarDusk has been hammering out the search engine you've all been waiting for, and I no longer have any excuse to put off my fantranslation of ISAT into german. (Though that wouldn't be on this website, exactly.)

So you're stuck with us a little longer! Just a moment longer, a second longer... Hehe.

Thank you, everyone, for all your love and support in this project!

It cannot be understated how motivating it was (and is) to know how the fandom has come to love this project. Just seeing stray screenshots of it, seeing fanworks quote obscure game text en-masse, and to know we've helped you love this wonderful game even more by picking it apart, warms my heart.

This is, statisically speaking, the most impactful thing I have ever made, in my life.

And now, it's perhaps time for me to stop hogging the spotlight and let the other wonderful folks without whom I wouldn't have gotten this far speak:

From @goldstargloww (aka: Gold), who is responsible for the site looking as pretty as it does:

this has been really fun :D! i love that despite my social anxiety i'm somehow fine dming random people on the internet asking them questions, because that's exactly what i did here, and it's gotten me involved in some really cool projects :> i've learned a lot coding-wise and i've been able to make things i'm proud of and it's overall just been really fun. i love seeing the script project in the wild it's so fun, i love being part of projects that help a lot of people and make them happy, this is also probably the most impactful thing i've done in my life and it's been really fun and i've learned a lot :D

From @onenightbreak (aka: Wren), who is responsible for many wonderful beautiful pages:

ISAT defeated!!! the other folks on the script project have been lovely to work with, and i've had a lot of fun crawling through isat and contributing to the project! skill acquired: it student now knows how to use git XD i have to agree with feli and gold, seeing the script in the wild and knowing how widespread it is for the fandom is crazy, and it's been amazing being part of this <3

Many thanks also to @candycoatedrox (aka: Molly) who made a huge chunk of pages alongside Wren, and without whom this all would've taken much longer than it did. And thanks to Vixia Raine, for catching so many typos and random mistakes. Just. So many.

Nothin' in this world a good cup of coffee can't fix.

[lunareel]

Quick edit: Caught an anatomy mistake on the leg that has been fixed. I can't believe I somehow missed this until after I posted it, going to leave the step by step shots with the mistake because I don't want to retake all of those pictures.

Finally finished my Rella's study of her Hatsune Miku on the beach! I wanted to learn how she handled lighting and I learned quite a bit working on this piece. Started this piece around 1 am one night just trying to figure out the method to her lighting and the following day I sat down and actually fixed the anatomy and cleaned everything up.

I sadly can't link Rella's twitter sadly as I don't have an account and it is just not letting me open it. >:/

If you want to see the work I studied just look up Hatsune Miku beach Rella, it is a gorgeous piece!

okay, so the thing with wishing we could kudos every chapter of a fic.

i get it, we all want to hit the little like button more than once, it's the easiest way to express our approval/enjoyment/gratitude. i am going to address this to a generic 'you' (hello Y/N!) and assume that 'you' has either never posted fic to ao3 or hasn't posted both oneshots and multichapter works.

hits, kudos, comments, bookmarks. every marker of popularity (which many will interpret as quality) on ao3 is inadvertantly weighted in favour of works with more chapters. no, not longer necessarily, but with more chapters. go and sort a few fandoms by any of those stats and you'll probably be able to spot this trend in action right away.

oneshots are only at the top of a tag (by the default date sorting) once, and even if you re-read it you can only leave one kudos on it.

a multichapter can stay near the top of the update-sorted results for months if you time your chapter drops right, and of course every time someone comes back for the next chapter that's another hit, and being seen more it is more likely to end up with more kudos. you can still only leave one per work, though, which limits the effects to some extent. multichapter works still tend to overall outperform oneshots on stats, and the longer they are the more likely that becomes, but you'll still usually see a couple of oneshots on the first page if you sort that list by kudos.

and a lot of people (percentage unknown) do sort by kudos (or some other stat) and works at the top of 'by kudos' will thus attract more readers and more kudos. so there's an incentive to get as many kudos as you can on your fic, and if cutting it up into 250 chapters will help... well it already does, and that's had an effect whether writers will admit to dragging fics out a bit on purpose or not, but imagine if that effect were to become orders of magnitude more intense.

even if you personally prefer longer fics cut into fairly short chapters, you probably don't want to get your 150k epic in chapters of only a 100-300 words, do you? you don't want the oneshot writers to just give up when every page, no matter how they're sorted, is full of 5000-chapter works to the point that readers now riot when asked to read a whole 2000 words in one go. your fave author is now feeling insecure because chapter 12 didn't get as many kudos as the last one did.

and this is why ao3 will never let you leave kudos on every chapter. they're aware that the site already incentivises chaptering works and doing that more than you otherwise might. so you're just going to have to learn to put an emoji heart in the comment box.
