Introductions and Important Info

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Fellowship of Sleep Buddy Read, a book club for all the Sleep Token fans on tumblr dot com, created by Misha and Darya (feel free to say hi!)

This space was born out of a mutual desire to both read more, and have an ongoing conversation about our love for books. The objective here is to encourage each other to have a consistent reading schedule, as we often lack the motivation and energy to do so, by setting small weekly goals. Super low-key, super casual, no pressure whatsoever.

What are we reading now?

We are kick-starting this club by reading The Lord Of Rings - The Fellowship Of The Ring. This read and all related posts will be tagged as #fos reads lotr

We will start on Sunday 3rd of March, and have our first discussion a week later, on Sunday 10th of March. The goal is to read a chapter a week, but this can be adjusted as we go.

Each week we'll have one post announcing the chapter of the week, and another post that you can use as a discussion thread for the previous chapter. Please keep the discussions on those posts spoiler free for those who haven't read further yet.

You can submit your own posts here.

You're more than welcome to read ahead, but please keep the weekly discussions focused on the current chapter! We are also planning on having occasional zoom calls (without video for now), where we can have some reading time together, talk to each other, and hopefully have a movie session 👀

Please check this post for updates and other questions you may have before sending an ask - we are but two eepie creechurs busy with Adult Life!

FAQs and Important Info (please read):

What is the Fellowship of Sleep? Is it related to Sleep Token?

The Fellowship of Sleep is the name we gave to our little Sleep Token tumblr friend circle, as a result of this post . As most (if not all) of us turned out to be LOTR fans, we should keep that name. It is also why we decided to start with the first book of the trilogy.

That being said, anyone who's here on tumblr and is part of the Sleep Token community, is 100% included in this Fellowship. We are all friends!!!

How does this work? Can anyone participate?

Yes! If you are reading this, and want to be a part of it, please join the conversation! All you need is a copy of the book. If for some reason you don't have it, and purchasing is not an option, check your local libraries! They are most certainly guaranteed to have LOTR available. Plus, it is usually free and you're helping keep them alive!

If you're thinking of acquiring a copy, we encourage you to get it second hand. There are many platforms that sell pre-loved books, in all stages of conservation, at a fraction of the cost. If reading is hard for you, audiobooks are also an option (they are not free normally, but check your local libraries for them). As long as you are keeping up with the chapters, everything is game!

What if I fall behind? What if I want to join in in the middle of the book?

There's absolutely no shame in falling behind. Life is tough, and we know how hard it is to maintain a reading habit - that is why we created this in the first place!

It is perfectly fine to join later, or even to stop reading! This is supposed to be a fun, safe space, so don't feel pressured to continue if you feel you can't keep up. For anyone who's already familiar with whatever book we are reading, please do feel free to join the discussions, even if you are not reading along!

(if you are behind, it is also possible to join the discussion post on the chapter you are currently on at a later point, we won't delete them)

Can we talk about Sleep Token here? How do discussions work?

Although this *is* a project created by and for Sleep Token fans, we want to keep this focused on reading, so there will be no Sleep Token discussions in here. We are more than happy to engage in Eepie conversation on our personal blogs, but this is not the space for it (unless directly related to the current read).

To keep things organised, we are accepting submissions on this blog, and we encourage you to engage with them and each other! Please do keep in mind that we are two very real, very tired individuals, so do have a little patience and grace while we figure this out. We apologise for any delays!

What can we submit?

-> Any and all things related to the current book: memes, fanart, plot discussions, merch and book collections - you name it!

We only ask that you keep *most* discussions relevant to the current place in the book (eg, it's okay if you want to talk about a plot point much further ahead, but we want the main focus to be on whatever chapter we're in. That way those who have never read it, or want to pick it up after we started, can easily join the conversations!)

-> Sleep Token content *if* it's directly related to the book. Example:

You noticed an interesting parallel between [book] and ST lore? Please share! Think a certain character dynamic is similar to the guys? Absolutely!

ST content that isn't relevant to our readings will be deleted. We created this space for a specific purpose and would like to keep it that way!

-> Any questions/thoughts/posts you may have about this book club: tagged under #fos meta or through our Ask Box

Tag List

Here's a comprehensive tutorial post on Asks and Submissions -> please read for submission guidelines and other faqs

We have an active tag list so you don't miss important info posts - if you want to be added to the list shoot us an ask on this blog! Same goes if you are currently on the list and don't want to be anymore :)

If you have any further questions, please leave them in the replies of this post, or send us an ask here. Do not dm us on our personal blogs with questions for this one. The inbox is open so please use that instead!

[buckandbobbyweek]

FAQ

What is Buck and Bobby week?

This is a week dedicated to Buck and Bobby from 911 and celebrating their father-son relationship. While a popular relationship, it's not a relationship that people often write about. So, with this event, we make sure there are plenty of new fic for us Buck & Bobby lovers!

What is the schedule?

Today (January 4th) the poll to vote for which month to fo Buck & Bobby week went up and goes for 7 days.

After there will be a poll to determine which week it will be, also running for 7 days.

Once we have a date, I will start working on a form where you can submit prompts and share this. This will be open for around a month. Less depending on how much time is left until the chosen date.

Once the form is closed, I will make a new form where you can vote for your favorite prompts. In the end we need 21 word/trope prompts (example: hugs, navy seal buck, hurt/comfort) and 10 sentence prompts (example: "did you steal my hoodie?", "what do you think you're doing?", "have you eaten yet?")

Depending on how many prompts and the results of votes, there could be a third form with the winning prompts to narrow it down more.

Then I'll make a post with the winning prompts and you can start writing!

And then we'll have Buck and Bobby week :)

Are there any rules?

AI is NOT allowed. Use of AI will end with your posts removed from the AO3 collection and being blocked on Tumblr. AI is theft.

This is to celebrate the father-son relationship between Buck and Bobby, NOT romantically. Romantic fics between them will not be included or reposted.

No abuse or SA taking place between Buck and Bobby. You can for other characters, but PLEASE tag accordingly! Use warning in both the warning section and the tags. I also recommend putting these warnings in an author's note and while posting on Tumblr. These are topics a lot of people want to avoid.

If a fic includes bashing of other characters, please tag accordingly as well. And, obviously, no Buck or Bobby bashing. (It would be preferable no bashing at all, but I'm not going to forbid or restrict you from writing it if you want to.)

No stealing, duh

I can't think of anything else, I try not to limit things. If you have a suggestion, let me know.

Do I have to sign up?

Nope. You can just post when it's time. Of course it's fun to let people know you're participating, but that's completely your own choice.

Can I be anonymous?

Sure! I do have to say a lot of people avoid anonymous fics because a lot of times they're very triggering or hateful to people. But if you don't feel comfortable using a username, it's a great way to still share your work. And I'm sure plenty of people still read anonymous fics.

Do I have to do all days?

Nope. While that is the most fun, if there's only one day you have time or inspiration for, that's amazing as well. You can skip days you don't want to do. It's completely up to you.

Is it limited to fics?

It's not! You can use any form of creativity. Think of:

Art

Playlist

Video edit

Picture edit

Moodboard

Podfic

Poetry

Anything else creative you can think of.

Is there a minimum or maximum word count?

Nope. No restrictions here either. This means you can also submit snippets. Or a full on novel with 100k+ words. Every number is allowed :)

How do I get it into the AO3 collection?

The collection isn't created yet and will be around a month before the event. Once it's created you can find the option 'post to collections / challenges' right underneath 'associations'. In this you search for the name, which I'll post on here once it's created. Once your fic is posted it'll be added to the collection.

I've never posted on AO3 before and don't know how.

I'm planning on making a quick tutorial soon, either on here or on @911buddieweek in which I'll explain the meanings of each parts, like ratings and warnings and the most used meanings behind them. Keep an eye out! If you want to know before I post, you can send me a message.

I have a different question

Don't be afraid to send an ask or message! I'll try to get back to you ASAP. I don't have tumblr notifications on, but I'm chronically online so I'll hopefully see it quickly. (I do like in Europe so if you're not European we might have a different timezone. But you can send it any time you want and I'll see it when I wake up.)

I hope this is enough info! And I'm very excited :)

Native Intro For Social Media:

Native intro or introduction for social media

✋ ⚠️

Hello there

BYI or before you interact. For old and new followers and lurkers.

Have a native introduction here in my own bio links and pinned post. Be sure to check it out if you can. For old and new followers. For accessibility purposes and safety reasons. Esp as a lgbt and disabled native of color creative and social media user.

It’s a singular native introduction post on my tumblr, wordpress, and my blogpost. If reading one singular post is easier than a thread. It’s why the links are in my bio and pinned post. It’s also a native introduction thread on my bluesky and my threads (of instagram).

My main socials (other than my tumblr):

My native introduction is reposted as a singular post onto here on Blogspot and Wordpress . For your mutuals who don’t have tumblr.

Singular post versions:

My Wordpress:

My Blogspot:

Introduction thread versions:

My threads of instagram:

My bluesky:

Threads (of instagram) and bluesky are the most up to date versions of my native introduction thread

My native introduction that is a singular pinned post here on tumblr, wordpress, and blogspot is reposted onto my threads (of instagram) and bluesky as a bio pinned post and native introduction thread.

Not all of the info on this single native intro pinned post on tumblr, wordpress, or blogspot is reposted into the native intro pinned intro thread on bluesky and threads though. Since there is a social media text block limit. As well as for privacy, safety, & security reasons.

FAQ or Frequently Asked Questions:

🛑 🚫

This is a list of rules, guidelines, procedures, & boundaries. For those of you who are also bipoc, qtipoc, and disabled. For those of you who are white, cishet, allistic, neurotypical, abled bodied, & or non native. To make this a better, healthier, & safer social media experience for me.

This is how i am vetting people i want or don’t want following me. I’m trying to cultivate and curate the social media sphere I want here. To protect my social media space. Esp as a marginalized person.

I don’t do follow for follows. I don’t have the time or the energy to follow back every single person who follows me. Thats how we got twitter into x. I’m not doing that. I also don’t follow anyone without vetting them first as a lgbt and disabled social media user and creative. For safety, security, and privacy reasons.

Be sure to check out my bio links pinned post and or pinned post before interacting with me in any way if you are a new follower. You should be doing this for every social media anyway. I’m trying to not have the clusterfuck of Twitter happen here too.

Always recheck my bio links pinned post and or pinned thread before interacting if you are an old follower. I’m always updating this with up to date information. This tumblr, wordpress, and blogspot singular pinned post btw is the most up to date native intro cuz of how easy it is to edit here.

Remember those symbols and that before you interact are in my bio and pinned post for a reason. Please respect my social media boundaries. Esp as marginalized social media user. I’m a visibly brown queer trans and disabled native of color.

If you don’t read my bio, links, pinned post, and or pinned thread and you interact with me. I’ll see this as you not respecting my social media space/sphere and boundaries as a marginalized person. I will mute unfollow and or block you. I’m taking extra steps to keep myself safe here as a marginalized person. If you can’t take the time to respect that. Then you’re not clearly someone I want in my social media space. Plain and simple.

The introduction is detailed and thorough for a reason. Past lateral violence and micro aggressions. I’m trying not to encounter that here. This shouldn’t need to be fucking said but apparently it does. Don’t be mad at a marginalized person for having a long intro. Remember rules guidelines and procedures. Be mad at bigots who made this all necessary in the fucking first place.

You don’t have to read the bio links pinned post and or pinned thread in one go also btw. Remember that I am a disabled writer artist and creator. It’s not meant to be read in one go. I’ve written it with the help of bipoc qtipoc and disabled mutuals. You can like it, pin it, bookmark it, whatever. Continue where you left off until you’re done reading it. 📌

With that out of the way. Thank you. Welcome to my social media sphere and space. 👋

Info about me and my WIPS art and projects as a as a disabled and queer/trans native of color writer artist and creator creative. Info about me as a disabled and lgbt native of color gamer/streamer/podcaster.

Preferred Names:

Hello. My Indigenous Pasifika preferred name is No’eau Aitonui Hoata/Heiani Mareva Hoata. If you are Indigenous or Indigenous Pasifika please refer to me by that name

My Vietnamese Kinh name is Ngoc Hien/Xuan Dinh Nguyen. If you are a non native person of color please refer to me by that name

Names on the left is when I’m kane/tane or masc. Names on the right is when I am vahine/wahine or femme.

I do have unisex names for when I am maohi raerae (think two spirit, mahu, or fakaleiti) or native third gender.

But I am not comfortable sharing it on social media. Only use these names if you are a fellow native or indigenous pasifika. Or if you are a non native person of color. Not if you are a non native yt settler.

Names have power. I don’t want certain people referring to me by my certain names for obvious reasons.

My English/French name is Christian Henry Nguyen/Charlotte Jeanne Nguyen. If you are a non native white person you can only refer to me by this name.

It’s alot more nuanced than this but this is based on our racial cultural and gender identities and their relationship to each other.

Preferred Pronouns:

Any and all pronouns. Including neopronouns and indigenous third gender pronons. He/him. She/her. They/them. Xer/xers. Zer/Zehir. Native third gender neutral oña. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈⚧

For unisex or gender neutral names when I am they/them, xer/xers, or zer/zehir. Ask privately for the names.

I will also accept native masc femme and native third gender terms. As well as masc femme and genderfluid terms from other cultures of color. Be sure to clarify which ones are which first for me.

Don’t assume masc. That queer and trans symbol is in my bio for a reason. Esp as a third gender native of color. I really don’t want to be misgendered or deadnamed on here like Twitter. The only time you can ever refer to me by masc without asking me first is when we are irl for safety reasons.

General rule is ask for pronouns first. If I say he him. Refer to me by my names on the left. If I say she her. Refer to me by my names on the right. If I say they them, xer xers, zer zehir, etc. Ask privately for my unisex or third gender names.

I have been working on it for a long time as a storykeeper, language keeper, and culture keeper. I have been working on it for a long time as an artist who’s a poet and songwriter. Since seventh grade of junior high.

It includes a personal foreword and personal afterword to Indigenous people specifically Polynesian, Micronesian, and Melanesian audiences.

Use any hashtags if you know any. This is so it gets out to others in the poc community and Indigenous community especially those indigenous to turtle island or Indigenous to Pasifika Oceania or Moana.

It’s also so I can find poc or Indigenous producers and publishers to actually make it into a spoken word poetry book.

For the uncut and uncensored version post comments into the google doc itself and leave a review at the end.

Let me know if you know anyone else interested in reading something like this.

Let me know if know any poc and Indigenous artists especially indigenous to turtle island or Indigenous to Pasifika Oceania or Moana who are willing to draw art for this poetry book.

Im also a writer and creator who writes bipoc, disabled, and qtipoc futurism. I write magical high fantasy and science fiction books, comics, and graphic novels.

My bipoc, disabled, and qtipoc futurism anthology project called Chronicles of War. I have been working on it for a long time. Since freshman year of high school. It is a soft and hard science fiction and urban and modern magical high fantasy hybrid comic book or graphic novel series.

It is soft and hard Sci fi (bio punk, solar punk, ray punk, nano punk, & cyberpunk) in the near and far future. It is also a magical high fantasy (steampunk, Tesla punk, arcane punk, and dungeon punk) in modern and urban fantasy.

For the bipoc qtipoc and disabled futurism project there are several google docs. The main google docs. The character bio google docs of the main and supporting characters. The google doc of the character questionnaire for bipoc qtipoc and disabled character creation.

If you want to help with representation of these characters you share racial cultural and or gender identities with lmk. Use these google docs for them. For past current and upcoming characters of the bipoc qtipoc and disabled futurism anthology project.

6 Assistive Technologies For Websites

Easy internet access isn't universal. Millions with disabilities face online hurdles daily. Web accessibility bridges this gap, enabling all to navigate digital spaces. However, the question is if we are doing enough. Screen readers and voice search mark progress, but challenges persist.

So, we need to take a deeper look and see how we can make web design welcoming for all users. Imagine a web where everyone participates fully, regardless of ability — That’s what we’re aiming for! Our increasingly online world demands inclusive design. 

Let’s explore web accessibility!

What is Web Accessibility?

Web accessibility includes principles that ensure websites accommodate the needs of all users, regardless of their abilities. They aim to remove barriers for over 1.3 billion people living with disabilities, making it easier for everyone to use and contribute to the web without assistance—and it improves the web experience for all users.

Your website accessibility checklist includes the following:

- Web Pages

- Navigation

- Video & Media

- And More!

The main goal here is to make as many elements as possible accessible for all users. This automatically will improve your website metrics, drawing in more people and rankings.

What is Assistive Technology?

Assistive technology refers to products or systems that help people with disabilities, impairments, or mobility challenges overcome difficulties. These solutions range from simple tools like pencil grips to advanced hardware and software systems, helping individuals perform everyday tasks such as walking or typing.

In the context of web browsing, assistive technology helps minimise or eliminate barriers posed by disabilities.

While assistive technology helps make the Internet accessible to everyone, its uptake remains lower among Americans with disabilities.

6 Assistive Technologies to Make Your Site Accessible

If you're looking to make your web design more inclusive, here are six assistive technologies worth trying.

1. Screen Readers

Screen readers convert the text on your website into speech, transforming visual content into auditory input. They can also convert text into braille, allowing blind users to explore your website with their fingers.

Incorporating screen readers enables people with blindness, low vision, and learning difficulties to consume your content independently.

Some popular recommendations include:

- Proper HTML structuring.

- Using ARIA roles.

- Writing descriptive headings and sentences.

- Using alt texts for images.

2. Screen Magnifiers

Screen magnifiers digitally enlarge onscreen content—text and images—helping users with poor vision or partial sight access your content without the usual eye strain. You can track the magnifier around the screen to create a smooth reading experience.

In a nutshell, a site optimised for screen magnifiers offers high-contrast text that is well-spaced and easy to enlarge.

3. Text Readers

Text readers use a synthesized voice to read website text aloud, often highlighting words as they are read. Unlike screen readers, they typically focus on body text and may not interpret non-textual elements. Reducing non-textual elements in your content body makes it more accessible to text readers.

4. High-Contrast Design

High-contrast web design allows users to customise element contrast to suit their visual needs, helping people with impairments like low vision or colour blindness. Varying the contrast between text, images, and background improves readability, allowing users to distinguish between web elements.

5. Voice Assistants

Voice assistants allow users to interact with websites through voice commands. They can open menus, search for information, or engage with customer service.

Optimising your content for voice search ensures accessibility for people with disabilities. This involves using a conversational tone, long-tail keywords, addressing FAQs, and optimizing for mobile.

Example of a site optimized for voice assistants:

When you ask, "How do you make choco chip cookies?" it provides a step-by-step recipe answer—a great tool when you're hands-deep in baking. This also helps people who have trouble using fingers for typing.

6. Alternative Input Devices

The last type of assistive technology you should consider for your website is alternative input devices. Many Americans require alternative input devices such as joysticks, trackballs, or head pointers, reducing the reliance on traditional computing methods like keyboards and mice. So, prioritising keyboard navigation in your website’s design helps accommodate these devices. This makes it easy to explore using just the keyboard.

Final Word:

What’s the use of web accessibility? Short answer: Web accessibility improves the browsing experience. You might be pleasantly surprised by the convenience of using voice search and screen readers when browsing. These technologies greatly enhance the experience, especially for those living with restricted mobility or disabilities. Plus, it also elevates your website’s SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation.

If you'd like to learn more about making your website inclusive, you can contact a professional web design company. We recommend Make My Website, a top-rated company for web design and SEO Melbourne. Check out their official website and schedule a consultation if you want to know more about them. We’re sure you’ll appreciate their expertise in reaching your goals. Like it

Submissions - FAQs, Tutorial and Guidelines

What is the difference between an Ask and a Submission?

Most of you are probably familiar with Asks -> sent through the inbox ; you can submit text, images, or audio only. Formatted like a question on the dashboard. Our inbox is titled Ask Away!

A Submission is basically a regular post you make for a different blog -> through a submission link/button. You can create and format a post as you would a regular one (with videos, audios, polls, etc) through that page, and we will post it here!

That way, we can keep everything neatly organised in one place, and you can share your thoughts directly with everyone :)

I have a question about [X Book] - should I send an ask or submit a post?

We ask that you reserve "asks" for actual questions concerning the book club/blog (scheduling, any issues you may have, any help you may need, anything you'd like to say in private, suggestions, etc). Please check the pinned post before asking for information - the answer may be in the replies! Anything else should be done through submissions (but don't worry if you get it wrong - we're all learning together!!).

How do I submit a post? What are the guidelines?

You can post anything you wish - fanart, a question/theory/ramble, audio, a cool resource you found online, any and all memes, etc. The sky is the limit! The only thing we ask is to keep submissions relevant to our current read / book club!

Note: as this is a Sleep Token-adjacent blog, we are perfectly okay with Sleep Token related posts, as long as they are related to this book club. Want to draw the eepies as members of the Fellowship? Awesome, go ahead! Want to show a cool video of a ritual? That's great, but do it on your personal blog!

When submitting a post, please use the appropriate tag for your submission - #fos reads [x] for current book-related posts, and #fos meta for everything else, always accompanied by the tag #submission. Every submission has to be manually approved/posted by us, so don't panic if you tag incorrectly - we got you 🧡

-> To submit a post via desktop/web:

Simply go to the left side menu bar and click on Submit for the submission page. Do your beautiful post as you'd normally do, tag it appropriately, and submit!

-> To submit a post through the app:

On the blog's upper menu, tap the envelope icon, then tap the Share Your Thoughts option to bring up the submission page. Make your post, check the tags (they are all automatically added so make sure to delete the unnecessary ones), and submit it!

(do not go through the inbox button "Ask Away" -> those are for regular asks only)

Reminder that the submission page link is also linked on our pinned post for easy access! Posts containing spoilers about the current chapter will be posted starting Sunday of the following week, when we start reading the next chapter.

If for some reason your post contains spoilers/plot points of much further ahead (for example, an interesting parallel between the beginning of the journey and the end), or any sensitive content, we ask that you keep the post under the [read more] block, and clearly indicate them before (eg: [spoilers ahead] [tw/cw: x]). You are welcomed to have these conversations, as long as you are mindful of others!

Please be nice and respectful at all times, and we apreciate your patience and understanding for any possible hiccups we may do 🧡

Submit your posts here :)

As always, have fun and happy readings everyone!

FAQ

◈ Will we ever learn about the MCs past?

Indeed you will. Details about the MCs past will unfold gradually throughout the story.

◈ Does the MC age/is the MC immortal?

The MC has not physically aged since undergoing the ritual of binding ~7 years ago. As a result of that ritual, they are also effectively immortal. Canonically, the MC is somewhere between their late 20s and mid 30s.

◈ Why doesn't the MC just run away?

The MC will suffer severe (physical) consequences should they stray too far apart from their Keeper, becoming violently ill (potentially to the point of unconsciousness) if the distance becomes too great.

◈ Why doesn't the MC just kill Shea?

The magical seal on the MCs body prevents them from attacking their Keeper with the intent to kill. Also, I would not have a story if I let the MC act as a deranged murderhobo all of the time (a little murdering is okay, though).

◈ How do you pronounce Shea?

Feel free to pronounce it however you wish. I personally pronounce it as [ʃeɪ].

◈ Can the main character be trans?

Yes. You'll also be able to choose whether they've transitioned or not. It's something that might also come up later, in talks with other characters. For intimate scenes, the first time you engage in one you will be asked to 'set' your character's top and bottom parts.

◈ Who are the ROs?

Virtue's End has four relationship options: Shea, Penrose, Elexis, and Idris. You can read more information about them in this post. If you'd like to see my sketches of them, you can do so here.

◈ How tall are the ROs?

I've kept it deliberately vague in-game for immersive purposes but Shea is 192 cm (6'3"), Penrose is 198 cm (6'6"), Elexis is 176 cm (5'9"), and Idris is 169 cm (5'7").

◈ Are there any poly relationships in the game?

I'd like there to be, though it'll probably be complicated. Coding/writing-wise, but also... all of these people are not okay. Some of them hate each other's guts, or at the very least strongly dislike each other. And I don't want to force a loving relationship where there is none, so it would be toxic as hell. We'll see.

◈ Are any of the ROs trans?

Male Penrose is a trans man, and female Elexis is a trans woman. In addition, both Shea and Elexis can be set to nonbinary. All of the characters have set top and bottom parts that you will not be able to change.

◈ Are there any mystery or secret ROs?

At the moment, I've decided to limit the (full) relationship options to Shea, Penrose, Elexis, and Idris. However, the player might occasionally have the opportunity to engage in a fling/hook-up with a minor character.

If you're familiar with the old version of Virtue's End and are wondering about the ROs that were cut (namely Sutton, Eiri, Guinn, and Sinclair), some of them might still make an appearance, though they won't be full ROs. I've also chosen to 'merge' a few of them with the existing companions.

◈ Do you answer 'RO reacts’ kind of asks?

As these types of asks require a lot of energy to respond to, I generally do not answer them. However, I might make an exception if it’s a particularly interesting concept or prompt.

◈ Are you still working on the game?

Yes, I am! Although the game was on hiatus for a while, I've since resumed working on it, and am currently working on chapter two. Fair warning, I'm a slow writer, but I'm steadily chipping away at it. :-)

◈ Is there a Virtue's End discord server?

No. There used be, but I deleted it due to a variety of reasons (hiatus, inactivity, social anxiety, etc). And I'm currently not really interested in running a new one.

◈ Do you have a Patreon/Ko-Fi?

I do. I have a Patreon, where I post early access to game updates and sketches and progress updates, that sort of thing. Please note, however, that it doesn't offer very many Patreon 'exclusives' such as short stories/snippets/things like that. All game updates will be released publicly eventually, so please don't feel like you need to pay for them. I'd be extremely grateful for any support you could give me, however. I also have a Ko-Fi, though it serves as more of a tip jar.

◈ When was the game last updated?

The public version of the game was last updated on October the 15th 2024. The Patreon version last received an update on December 11th 2024.

◈ What's the current word count of the game?

The public version is a little over 76k words (excl. code). The Patreon demo is around 99k words.

◈ Do you have an update schedule?

Sort of? My goal is to release an update roughly every 1-2 months. The length of these updates may vary, depending on how much time I've had to work on them and other (real life) factors. The Patreon version receives more frequent, 'incomplete' updates, whilst I generally try to update the public demo when I have something a little more substantial/finished.

◈ Is the old version of the game still playable?

Yep! The previous version of the game remains up on Dashingdon. Please note, however, that it will no longer receive updates.

◈ Is Virtue's End a standalone game or part of a series?

Virtue's End is a standalone book. I currently have no plans for a sequel.

◈ Do you accept nsfw asks?

Yes, I do, but it depends on the contents of the ask whether I feel comfortable answering it or not. Fair warning, messages that solely consist of people being horny about characters will most likely be received with a chuckle but will otherwise remain unanswered.

Any NSFW or suggestive asks will be clearly marked as mature and tagged with ‘nsfve’. Explicit content will always be hidden under a cut.

[mixed-up-writer-fest]

Round 2 Rules

Some rules and requirements have changed, so please read below!

The Basics

Writers will be paired based on preferred ships and rating. Each pair will be given a prompt, and they will be responsible for writing a multi-chapter fic with each other based on that prompt. 

Here’s the twist: writers will not be allowed to plan or plot before writing together. One partner, designated Partner A, will write chapter 1 and post it. Partner B will then be responsible for writing Chapter 2. 

Introducing: the Chaos Option

The Chaos Option is a new addition for Round 2. For this, writers will not select a pairing and will not be given a pairing. Partner A will be given a prompt and will write chapter 1. When they are ready to post, they will be given the name of their Partner B in order to post on AO3. Will Partner A set up a ship Partner B hates? Will Partner B kill them off? Will each chapter have competing partners angling for the same romantic interest? Merlin, I hope so. 

Rules: 

(a * next to a rule indicates a change from the previous round) 

Things you cannot plan with your partner: plot points, events, outcomes, big picture stuff. 

Things you can plan with your partner: characteristics like eye color, hair color, race, tattoos, etc; jobs; family; homes (flat, house, layout); location (England, America, Fictional world); genre (as long as it doesn’t get into plotting); magical vs. muggle; etc. If you have questions on this, follow up with the mods. 

* Both partners must join the Discord group. This was vital to get information to everyone, and you will need to keep @everyone notifications on for it. (I promise to use it sparingly!) 

Each partner must write a minimum of two chapters before the fic can be completed. 

* There is no minimum or maximum. Please keep in mind that you need to write enough that your partner has something to respond to! However, you needn’t worry about keeping chapters a certain length, though partners are welcome to set a word count if they wish. 

* There is no timeframe for writing. However, please keep in mind that this is a partnered event, and if it is your responsibility to write a chapter, you should keep your partner updated on your progress. It can be as simple as a message saying you’re still working on it once a week. 

Do not ghost your partner. Sometimes, real life happens and things get in the way of writing. We understand delays. However, you should consider this a commitment to your partner to at least be accessible and responsive. If you cannot commit to this, do not sign up. If you must drop from the fest, you need to speak to the fest mods and your partner before you do anything drastic (like deleting your fic)

You must post to AO3 and include your fic in the collection. A subcollection for Round 2 will be added soon. You must have your settings on AO3 set to allow collab fics. If you don’t know how to do that, send me a message to find out! 

FAQ

What ships will be included in the fest this time?

We will definitely include Wolfstar, Jily, and Wolfstarbucks. There are a few other ships that may be included as well, but that will depend on the results of this survey. Are you hoping for a different ship? Fill out the survey and let me know! 

Will I be able to select preferences other than ship and rating?

This was a popular request on our follow up survey. However, it’s hard to make any guarantees without knowing exactly what our participation is going to be. That being said, the survey for Round 2 will include options to select some other preferences. However, these will be used for guidance only and cannot be guaranteed. 

Do I have to submit my email? 

No. This was a requirement the first time, but it is not this time. You must join the discord, but that's the only requirement. 

Where do I find the Discord?

A link will be provided after you sign up!

How do you write without a plan?

Following Round 1, we learned lots about writing styles and how this works. This style of writing does not work for everyone, and there’s no shame in that. If the idea of not having a plan worries you, if you don’t know how to continue someone else’s story, if you’ve never read an unfinished fic and thought “I could totally make the end of this work,” then perhaps this is not the fest for you. However, this type of writing can be a lot of fun if you can write without a plan. I cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed writing my fic with my partner, and I know lots of other participants who said the same. 

The Chaos Option includes no planning at all?

That's right! It's specifically designed so that you cannot plan with your partner. You have to be prepared to go into anything. That being said, people who select the chaos option will be allowed to submit hard nos and squicks to their partners so you don't end up writing something triggering.

I hate my prompt. Am I stuck?

No, not at all. If you give it a good try and just cannot handle the prompt (and both partners agree) send it back and you can get something else. 

I'm really concerned about…

Send me an ask! This should be fun, and if it's not let's figure out why! 

Where can I find the fics from Round 1?

All Round 1 fics were shared to the fest page, and they can be found in our AO3 collection here!
