Currently making episode six my BITCH. And procrastinating writing by posting about it on tungle dot hell, but definitely doing a bit of bitch-making.

Tati fans, stay winning.

Let the record reflect,

I Know What the Fuck I'm Doing With Danny. I Promise.

(Making this post so preemptively that the controversy I'm prepping for doesn't even exist yet to prove JUST HOW MUCH I know what I'm doing. If y'all don't get REALLY COOL with problematic characters REALLY FAST, this show is going to make your head explode :heart emoji:)

WHOA!!!! Is that a

Before I Forget (Again) Progress Update (May Edition!)?

It’s been so long!

“Beck!” you may be crying, “Beck, where hast thou been? It has been eons since the last update on BIFA! Are you even working on it anymore?”

And to that, dear reader, I say YES! I KNOW! AND I’M SORRY! But I promise you, we are still working on the show! Here’s what’s been going on since the beginning of April:

Head Writer Beck participated in Camp Nanowrimo to get some scripting done. Thanks to Nano, we now have several first drafts of episodes!

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… a new member of the historical research staff? Yep, that’s right, we got a new history nerd! Everybody say hi to Historian 3!

Finals are finished! Most of our staff are college students, so it’s been a very long, very exhausting uphill battle to get the ball rolling up until this point. Now that Schooooool’s Out! For! Summer! we can really get to work.

It’s been a long, stressful month and a half since we last spoke, dear reader, so I hope you will forgive our silence. There’s been a lot of trial, error, re-writing, asking for help, and stepping back. Giving yourself grace is an important part of any writing process, and there has been a LOT of grace in this project. The only way to make it through is to just keep trucking, so that’s what we’re going to do until our show makes it to your ears. Always ask ‘what next’, because as long as you have a ‘next’ to look forward to, you’re not allowed to quit.

So, TL;DR, Yes! We’re still working on the show! No, it’s not close to being finished yet, but yes, we’re on the right path.

In the next few weeks, be prepared for a new character introduction! This next guy needs a fucking nap that we will not be allowing him to take, the poor dear.

Ciao!

Sometimes your favorite characters are the ones that just show up because you needed someone to fill a quick role. I accidentally made the silliest fella who is now blorbo number 1, special princess of my brain, and if you think anyone but me is going to be allowed to play them, you’re dead wrong.

…are they just Arule Delatro Levithian III in a different font? Maybe, but mind your business.

THE SAPPHICS ARE BEING ABAOLUTELY WILD RIGHT NOW. IM GETTING GOOSEBUMPS WHILE WRITING THIS IS GONNA FUCKIN SLAP

[before-i-forget-again-pod]

This year working on BIFA is probably going to be the most planned out, busiest year I have ever lived through.

Theme song?

I am gonna make it through this year IF IT KILLS ME

With God and all of Tumblr as my witness, I am declaring RIGHT NOW that I am going to put out a podcast that is SO SWAG. SO COOL. SO GAY. SO SILLY. AND SO FULL OF EXISTENTIAL TERROR. And I am going to both write it AND SURVIVE this year if it FUCKING kills me.

This has been Beck’s four months late New Year’s resolution. Thank you all, have a good day.

(Character intro hopefully later today! it was supposed to be yesterday but OH WELL)

[before-i-forget-again-pod]

Currently writing the theme song for the show and when show co-writer Blakelee read one of the verses I just wrote, she immediately kicked me in the shins. I’m taking this as a sign that I’m doing something right.

Might post the audio draft at some point soon if I get any further, who knows.

This morning in BIFA scripting shenanigans- I love alluding to large plot points and important characters seasons before they're even supposed to happen. I feel like a little evil genius over here. Mwahahahahaaaaaa...

Is this what writing is? Am I doing the writer thing yet?

Episode 1 of our Patreon Only series, The V.A.S.M News, has been written! Sophie my beloved,,,

Sometimes worldbuilding is going into Minecraft and building various things from your story so you know how to describe where shit is in canon. And that's okay.
