#elysian fields discord server

[elysianfieldsarchive]

So, things on the archive have been a bit dicey the past month as the Mods have been investigating the ongoing DDoS attack and various options available to us to mitigate both the current attack and future attacks. I’ll lead with the big thing.

Planned Archive Downtime

The archive will be down for a bit as we configure the new security settings on the back end. The downtime could be as little as a few minutes or up to 72 hours and we anticipate some people will get access sooner than others. We don’t like it, but it’s for the best, and will hopefully allow us to resume full accessibility to all members.

When Is the Site Going Offline?

Approximately 9PM EDT, May 13 (Tuesday evening). While you have a couple of days, you should start preparing immediately.

Prepare? What Do You Mean By That?

Mostly, just be forewarned that the downtime is coming. Don’t panic if you can’t access the site or receive an error message.

You might want to take the time to download any ePubs for fics you are reading or plan to read soon. Likewise, while we don’t anticipate this will impact the site’s content, it’s never a bad idea to back up important things, such as story comments.

What’s the Security Solution You’re Implementing?

A very common, highly trusted, and broadly used security solution called Cloudflare. It’s the same that AO3 implemented following their DDoS attack. We have completed troubleshooting this solution on our test site.

How Did You Troubleshoot?

Once we got Cloudflare up and running, the Mods went to the test site and tried to break it. We wanted to replicate the errors we initially experienced, like the Forbidden/Forbidden 403 error message. A solution that works for only some people isn’t a viable long-term solution.

This is an imperfect process, but we were able to post stories, comments, news items, images, emojis, and all other normal archive activity without incident, while maintaining the strictest security settings available on the back-end.

What Happens if I Still Experience an Error Once Everything Is Back Up?

All members should continue reporting any unusual errors, messages, and so forth as they occur to elysianfieldsarchive@gmail.com. 

How Do I Stay Updated While The Site Is Down?

Important updates will be made on all of EF’s active social platforms: Instagram, Bluesky, Threads, and Facebook. You may also join our Discord server. Please note that only EF members are allowed in the Discord server, and your server name must match your EF username.

Why Was EF Targeted?

No clue, and we’re not going to speculate on who is behind it or their motives. Doesn’t matter — Spuffy always walks through the fire and emerges stronger. So will we.

Yes! Two, actually. There are discord servers for Elysian Fields archive AND Sunnydale After Dark. Both of those are Spuffy fanfiction archives. If you go to the websites, you’ll find an invite link to their respective servers on their front pages.

Are there any spuffy discord chats? 🥺

timeline: tragedy of binding

The 11th Herrscher incident, known as "Tragedy of Binding" among the surviving MOTHs, is one of the deadliest attacks on humanity by the Honkai. From a total of 200+ MANTIS soldiers, they were left with only 13 after the incident. Humanity also lost all but three cities (Kevin, Cast in Gold).

Most MANTISes died as soon as they stepped on the barrier. Human soldiers suffered before eventually dying. The herrscher took out a large number of forces and reduced the MOTHs to several hundreds. Vill-V, Kalpas, Hua, Kevin, and Elysia have participated in the frontlines. As of writing, I have yet to track down Eden, Sakura, and Kosma.

As for the noncombatants, Aponia was in the Deep End (Kevin, Cast in Gold) while Su's only known role during the Tragedy was he unintentionally lifted Kalpas's restraints (Kevin, Cast in Gold) while Mobius was said to have operated on Kalpas (Kalpas, Heartsbane). The key players of the incident seemed to be Kalpas, Hua, and Kevin.

I will be attempting to retrace the sequence of events starting from the earliest known recollection. Any additional information will be edited at a later date. As a usual disclaimer, please do not repost to other sites without permission.

Many thanks to the Elysian Realm archives document provided by the Honkai Impact Discord server and to the lovely people at the #honkai-lore channel.

Pardofelis is downed with food poisoning before the awakening of the herrscher Later on she would come out to an empty base (Pardofelis, After Sundown)

Aponia is locked in the Deep End (Kevin, Cast in Gold)

11th Herrscher is awakened and forces were deployed. MANTIS soldiers who stepped on the Grace Field died instantly while the humans suffered. Kalpas was knocked out when he touched the barrier (

Hua carried the unconscious Kalpas to Mobius (Hua, Psychotherapy). Later on, Kalpas would allow Mobius to perform a surgey on him (Kalpas, Heartsbane)

Su also unintentionally broke Kalpas's restraints (Kevin, Cast in Gold)

Hua activates Fenghuang Down's First Output (Hua, Break from Binding; Psychotherapy). She immediately passes out after (Kevin, Crimson Ice)

Kevin activates Shamash's 0th power and nukes the battlefield, leaving behind only 13 surviving MANTISes (Kevin, Crimson Ice)

After the incident, Hua passed out for 120 hours. She would later recall the events right before she activated the First Output (Hua, Psychotherapy)

Mobius finds and injured Vill-V among a pile of useless tech (Vill-V, Remnants)

Author's Notes

- Griseo is a non-combat MANTIS due to her age.

- Eden, Sakura, and Kosma are presumed to have participated in the Tragedy of Binding. As of writing, I have not found any recollections that included them.

- Vill-V survived the Tragedy by using her Partitions as a shield. The original would later on wake up to silence.

- Elysia was holding Hua (Kevin, Crimson Ice) after she activated FHD's 1st Output

- Any changes to the order will be edited at a later date.

Hellenic Online Groups/Forums to Avoid

Figured given COVID and everything, it’s worth it to make this a separate post as religious activities will be online only for the time being (hopefully).

Hellenistic Polytheism Amino - Run by a deeply islamophobic racist. You have to have an Amino account to join/see proof that it’s the same person but if you check both the Atheist Amino account I linked and the Hellenistic Polytheism Amino, you can see it’s the same account with a different display name (because Amino lets you do that). More here, with her old username as she keeps changing it up. Mods are complicit. There’s really no good information on it anyway that you can’t Google/DuckDuckGo.

Pagans and Witches Amino - not necessarily Greek only, but I include it here because it’s pretty sizeable (enough to have its own independent app for a while on iOS). The mods are kind of corrupted, promoting newer mods over older ones with more experience, cultural appropriation is tolerated if not encouraged, and misinformation is rampant. A lot of people who are unable to distinguish UPG from historical sources and get angry if you point it out, as well as a lot of kids who think they are dating a god. Just...a mess, and toxic. I used to help run a chat and the chat was taken from us by mods without warning, likely because they didn’t like how we tried to get people to acknowledge when things were UPG or made-up. It’s hard to include receipts without implicating my friends who used to be there as well (it’ll end up just being receipts on individual users instead), so if you wish to see what I’m talking about you can take a look, but it’s honestly very corrupt and on its way out, IMO.

r/Hellenism, HellenicFaith and HellenicFaith.com - Run by Klaytonos AKA u/AzoresHeliokles on Reddit who fetishizes being trans and literally worships an emperor of the Roman Empire (a violent and colonizing force).

HellenicGods.org - ahistorical nonsense about how ancient Greek religion survived. Compares anti-Indigenous violence with the usage of the word “pagan”.

Here’s my list of Hellenic pagan religious groups (i.e. groups that meet in person and do rituals and such) and their issues. Some of these may have forums and the like but I’m not a part of them and thus have no idea.

The Thiasos of Dionysus - Discord server run by someone who defends the neo-Nazi Sannion, his wife Galina Krasskova and Sannion’s usage of the Sonnenrad, a WWII Nazi symbol. Right-wing members abound (including mods and the owner). The owner is creepy and allows minors to view sexual content in the channels which are not age-locked. He has also encouraged harassment of a minor.

The Elysian Fields - pagan Discord server run by Loxias and co. Pretty self explanatory standard right-wing Islamophobic and antisemitic server that poses as moderate/centrist.

Elysian Fields - Discord server run by khthoniaa, the rebrand of nightshadeandroses. A search on Tumblr will yield more people exposing her cult leader aspirations.

As always, this is a work in progress and I’ll try to keep it updated whenever I can.

Heyy is there a group chat or something for us HP's? Would be cool to meet and talk to some people!

Hello anon! Sorry for the late response!

Actually there are a few I can think of from the top of my head, but I have no idea of how active they are. I recommend you check out @hellenictabletalk, which is a blog meant to make other Hellenic polytheists talk about chosen subjects. I would also recommend checking out Discord servers. I know @winestainedpoetry just made one recently called Elysian Fields. There’s also @the-brambled-way who is working on making Hellenic polytheists meet up IRL (around Indianapolis though if I remember correctly). 

That’s all I can think of for now but if there are any of my followers who are into a chat group/made one/want to meet new people I hope they get to see this and reblog so you can find what you’re looking for. 

[elysianfieldsarchive]

hello! I've recently joined the fandom and I heard that the archive was the only one active that focuses solely on spuffy. however, I am not able to access the site. I tried to use a VPN and it worked, but the last post on tumblr is about problems on the site, so I thought it was fit to send a question about it.

I will send an e-mail to the address that is provided on the post also, to make things easier.

Thanks for the attention!

Right now, we encourage you to continue using a VPN. The site has been under a DDOS attack for a week and some of our countermeasures have temporarily impacted accessibility to certain people. We're working on a full fix, but for the time being, a VPN is your best bet.

Also, feel free to join our Discord for updates as they come. Just note you have to be an EF member to join with your server name matching your EF username.

[elysianfieldsarchive]

Hello EF! In case you haven’t heard, it is somehow, inexplicably, 2025. That’s right, we’ve completed another journey around the sun together. And as is apropos at the end of a year and the start of a new one, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on what we have accomplished over the last 12 months as a community, as well as all the stuff your mostly benevolent Mods have been doing to improve your overall experience.

We’ll start with what the admin team has accomplished so we can save the best (that’s you guys and your accomplishments) for last.

Over the last year, we:

Added even more gorgeous site skins right out of the gate, increasing the variety of options as well as artist representation on the site

Successfully completed EF’s second mini-event, Monster Mash, and had a ton of fun doing it

Shepherded in the triumphant return of Mystery Month, the third ever, and first following the community-wide vote to trade off years with Drabblemania

Kicked off the year with a new commenting challenge that yielded gorgeous awards

Implemented a much overdue Artist of the Month Award, resulting in 27 members being nominated over the last year, and 13 Artists of the Month having been chosen (counting January 2025)

Rolled out sensitivity reader as a distinct type of beta reader

Introduced a new crediting system so artists, betas, and sensitivity readers are properly acknowledged with each work

Revisited and refined the existing guidance resources for authors and betas, and expanded them to include sensitivity readers

Added warnings to help members better curate their fanwork experience

Cleaned up our categories to minimize confusion

Resolved the email issues that remained from 2023’s server migration

Vastly improved the site’s previous stance on constructive criticism

Implemented member-driven initiatives in community spaces, such as Spotlight Saturday on our Discord server, in which members can recommend the works that mean a lot to them but do not or have not historically received as much attention as other works. Each work can only be recommended once and is compiled into a spreadsheet for reference. This is in addition to thematic watch parties and recreational game nights, which we hope to increase over the coming year.

The Mod team keeps busy behind the scenes discussing and implementing ideas to improve the member experience. There are a lot of initiatives still in the works, so look for those in the months to come. And as always, if YOU have ideas regarding how we can improve member experience, don’t hesitate to drop them in the Suggestion Box. We are always open to hearing your thoughts, ideas, and feedback regarding how Elysian Fields can continue to improve.

And all of these accomplishments were made in conjunction with our annual site events. We’ve already mentioned the Monster Mash Mini-Event and Mystery Month in July, but other events included Challenge Month in April, the Betrayal Challenge in October for EF’s 18th anniversary, and our fifth Secret Santa Exchange. That is in addition to all the other new works added or cross-posted from other archives over the course of the year. We crunched the numbers, and 2024 was the second largest year in terms of new fanworks posted on Elysian Fields in the last five years. The only year that beat it was 2023 (most likely courtesy of Drabblemania). It is also the second year in recorded site history that exceeded 10M words in terms of new words added. The only other year to do this was a bona fide pandemic year, meaning we were all confined to the indoors in ways we haven’t been since 2022 or so. Let that sink in.

Now that it has, did you hear that zipper being lowered? You should have, because we SMASHED 2024.

In the fifth year of recognizing the milestone of Completed Works, 119 creators completed a total of 450 works.

All creators who completed a work of any length (one-shots count!) in 2024 have been issued this award:

Also in its fifth year is the Event Complete Award (formerly the Challenge Complete Award). This was awarded to site members who during the most recent calendar year completed works submitted for the April Challenge, Mystery Month, or October Anniversary Event site event for all years through 2024. Our events generate many great contributions to the archive, and this award seeks to recognize those creators who not only start a new work for a community event but also finish it. As such, single-chapter or single-day events do not qualify (so no Monster Mash or Secret Santa).

And speaking of Secret Santa, we have some numbers to share.

We had 41 event contributions, which during the posting window garnered 918 likes and 456 comments, and for the first time, we welcomed commenters, artists, and beta and sensitivity readers to participate. That resulted in 27 artists and 28 beta and sensitivity readers helping to make the Santa works sparkle, and 47commenters completed the commenting challenge. All participants who completed their works, as well as commenters, artists, and betas, should now have their awards on their profile.

P.S. If you haven't read the fics or oohed at the art yet, you can find them all on the Secret Santa event page, which is also accessible by going to Browse >> Events >> 2024 Secret Santa from the site menu.

In 2024, we added:

10,320,149 words

566 stories

3,208 chapters

1,956 new members

99,718 new likes

39,923 new comments to the archive (comprising 2,175,381 words)

We also have issued awards to our most prolific members. These are chosen by the numbers.

Our most prolific author for 2024 was Ragini!

We also ran the numbers and issued the very first pretties for our Commenting Star and Commenting Superstar Awards!

As a recap:

The Star Award goes to any member who makes the All Stars Commenter list 6 months out of the year by leaving at least 15 comments, each of at least 5 words

The Superstar Award goes to any member who makes the All Stars Commenter list each month out of the year

In 2024, 49 members received the Star Award, and 24 members received the Superstar Award. So if you were an All-Star Commenter 6-12 months out of the year, check your awards because one (at least 6 months) or both (12 months) of these babies should be there.

We love how this incentivized comments for our fanworks, and are pleased to announce the return of this award in 2025. Details (and pretty artwork) forthcoming. So if you want this award in 2025, start commenting!

If you are missing an award you should have received, please reach out to us (elysianfieldsarchive@gmail.com) and we’ll verify and get that corrected.

Friends, we had an amazing year. None of this would be possible without you. Thank you so much for everything you give to the community. We’re so excited to see what 2025 brings—both the stuff we know is coming, and the stuff that will take us by surprise.

For the fifth year, we are excited to announce the Elysian Fields Secret Santa Fanwork Exchange!

That’s great! Except I have a question: What the heck is the Elysian Fields Secret Santa Fanwork Exchange?

Ahh, glad you asked, friend. The Elysian Fields Secret Santa Fanwork Exchange is our final event of the year. The how is simple: sign up to give a fanwork gift, and receive a fanwork gift!

If you’ve never taken part before, or if you need a reminder, here’s how it works: 

Everyone who signs up to participate will create one fanwork (a fic or a piece of art) and receive one fanwork. (You can opt out of giving and/or receiving art in the Google form if you’re only interested in giving and/or receiving written fic). Each fic MUST be a “one-shot” (a complete work, posted in full, within a single chapter). This means the word count MAX for written fic is 15,000. There is no word count minimum so long as you have satisfied at least one of your giftee's requests in the story.

So a one-and-done fic or piece of artwork that is complete at the time of posting?

Yes!

And fic can’t be more than 15k words?

Correct!

Though, please note that 15,000 words is defined as how our software tracks word counts. Unfortunately, predicting that is a bit nebulous as every writing program defines words differently. In fact, there’s a difference between our textbox counter and the official site word count because sometimes we just can’t have nice things. Suffice it to say, there may be word count discrepancies between Google Docs, MS Word, or other programs. Ultimately, it’s every participant’s job to make sure that your story fits. If your fic is approaching the limit, we recommend leaving ample time for edits to make sure you can post correctly and before the deadline.

So we know the word count max; what’s the word count minimum?

There is no word count minimum for this event. All we ask is that all works be created with care and fit with your giftee’s requests. Some people want a lot of words to do this, and others can make magic with just a few (or none, in the case of art!). We trust our members to be thoughtful when creating gifts for one another.

You mentioned artwork. What if I want to make sure I get a fic, not art?

You can opt-in/out of receiving art on the form.

Since this is a Christmas-themed event, does my gift need to be Christmas-themed?

Nope! But if your giftee requests a holiday-themed work, definitely consider it.

Do we get pretties?

Of course! What’s an EF event without pretties? And because we’ve streamlined crediting, ALL AWARDS ARE UP FOR GRABS. Author, artist, beta/sensitivity reader, and commenter. 

How do I get an author award?

Create a work for the event that is either entirely word-based (fic) or fits our narrative artwork definition.

Can I work with someone else on my event response?

We do not allow co-authored stories for this event, as it would make it too hard to match people. Artists can collaborate with an author by providing art for their story, however, as one way to receive the artist award.

How do I get an artist award?

Create a story banner for someone else’s Santa work, contribute artwork to a Santa work, or create artwork for your giftee.

How do I get a beta/sensitivity reader award?

Help a creator out by providing feedback on their work in progress. You can volunteer to beta or sensitivity read on our Discord server, or create a beta profile.

How do I get a commenter award?

Leave a minimum of 15 comments comprised of at least 15 words over the course of the event. These comments do not need to be on event submissions but can be left on any fanwork on the site.

I’ve signed up! What happens now?

Once you complete the form, the Mods will work together to make best case matches from all of the responses and then reach out to each participant with the penname and fanwork preferences of their giftee. Please remember that this gift-giving is confidential. Don’t share who you have for a giftee until you post your fic! 

Work together to keep the SECRET in SECRET SANTA.

Can anyone participate?

Unlike other EF events, we do have restrictions on participation.

Any member, whether they've previously written a fic on EF or not, is eligible to partake in this event––UNLESS you signed up for last year’s Secret Santa event and did not complete your fic or did not complete your fic by the deadline. Those members will have already been notified (at the end of last year’s event) and will not be eligible to participate this year, but may participate again in 2025.

Please note that bad behavior toward your gifter or giftee, regarding either the gift you receive or the gift you deliver, will result in a permanent ban from this event for all future years. We wish we didn’t have to say it, but we do.

We hate leaving anyone out, but since the spirit of this event is gift-giving and impacts other members, we take sign-ups very seriously. Everyone who decides to participate should both give AND RECEIVE a gift.

What if I sign up in good faith but something comes up?

We understand life happens. All participants who have yet to post their gifts will receive an email on or around December 15 to confirm their intent to complete. If you must drop out, please inform the Mods before this date. This will give our Rescue Writers/Artists time to swoop in.

Dropping out DOES mean you won’t be able to participate next year, but we’d rather know so we can make contingencies than have someone go giftless. If you do not communicate with us at all regarding dropping out, you will be banned from participating in all future Secret Santa exchanges.

I want to make sure everyone gets a gift, regardless. How can I help? / You mentioned Rescue Writers/Artists. What are those?

Rescue writers/artists are members who sign up to help out just in case someone is unable to complete their work. If someone drops out, we may reach out to see if you can help make sure their giftee doesn’t go empty-handed.

What if I am paired with the same person as last year/year’s past?

Hopefully, this won’t be an issue; we will do everything possible to avoid pairing repeats. That said, it might be that your best match is someone you were previously paired with. People who were previously paired were paired because their wants-to-receives and willing-to-creates were in harmony. If that hasn’t changed, then it could be you are again the ideal creator/recipient for someone you were paired with in the past.

Anything else?

Just one thing. Please thank your gifter when they publish the gift they make for you. Sometimes we get gifts that don’t live up to our expectations, but they were still made with enthusiasm, love, and a love of our community.

We take this very seriously. Bad behavior toward your gifter or giftee, in regards to either the gift you receive or the gift you deliver, will result in a permanent ban from this event for all future years. If there is an issue, let the Mods know.

Okay, so what are the dates?

Important Dates:

November Now-17: Signup to participate in the 2024 Elysian Fields Secret Santa Fanwork Exchange 

November 22-23: Assignments Distributed

December 1: Posting begins!

December 15: Your drop-out deadline

December 31, 11:59 pm, site time: All gifts must be posted. 

No late sign-ups or publishing will be allowed.* Leaving a participant giftless will make Spuffy deeply sad, and we can’t have that. It will also result in ineligibility from participating in Secret Santa for at least one year. (A one-year ban if you don’t post but at least tell us, or a lifetime ban from participating if we never hear from you.)

*If you miss the deadline to post, please still send your gift, just be aware that it won’t officially count toward the event. And—we cannot stress this enough—keep the mods informed about your gift.

Any questions? Email us or comment!
