Preliminaries are over! While I get the main competition ready, I'd like you all to participate in giving love to everyone who made it into the prelims! This means, leaving a comment on their AU or an ask on their blog and rbing the AUs! However, I understand comment anxiety can be stressful to deal with. So you can leave an ask in this inbox for the fic you want to give love to, and I will rb, or comment on that fic saying what you loved about it. This will look something like this:

{What I love about the AU} and I've heard good things from other readers/fans that say {Insert your lovely comment for the AU}.

While I would love it if you did this for all the preliminary round AUs, I find it especially important that you do this for those who lost their match. Because this is supposed to spread love to everyone, not just the winners. I will be rbing the preliminary round matching and those who made it in, but didn't quite get to the main competition!

Just a little important info

Just want to make something VERY clear to people.

I will never pretend to make a post

I will never make a post and then pretend to have never made that post

I will never purposefully do something that could cause you to question the reality of the situation

And I hope that you won't do the same to me.

Will there be times where I make a post saying something about an update, and then I don't/can't follow through? Yes. But I will not deny that those posts exist. I will just apologize for not being able to get the update out on time.

Why did I make this post. It's because I have bipolar I disorder with hallucinations(not fun). And people saying and doing stuff and then saying they didn't or vice versa, does not help my disconnect in what's real and what's not. And I know I'm not the only person who has a hard time differentiating reality from fantasy.

Also I will block anyone who I find to do this. As this is actually very important to me.

i miss monday morning phil logging on to do solo resource gathering for his team and saying fuck everyone else i only have the emotional capacity left to leave an attachment to my team because everyone other team has already betrayed us and left us behind for slaughter at the whim of a fucking eye like the last six months of village parenting and taking care of their kids has been nothing

Hyoga has one of the funniest character introductions in both the anime and manga

In the anime, he's just fucking around and visiting his dead mom when he was called back to Japan for the Galaxian Wars tournament. He immediately gets the Cygnus armor behind a glacier implying he could've done it anytime but just wanted to hang around a bit longer because he misses his mom a lot.

In the manga, he actually refuses to go back to Japan for the Galaxy Wars but only decides to return when he receives a letter from the Sanctuary that ordered him to kill the bronze saints and directions of where to find his armor(which he also mentions he was granted the status of a saint a while back). Meaning this whole time, he was just sitting around just visiting his mom because he couldn't actually find his armor because I guess Camus never bothered to tell him during the 6 years of training where it actually was.

A few years ago, @incognitajones asked her followers to talk about our writing processes and inspirations for our latest projects, or favorite ones. Here's what I said on the blog I was using at the time:

My fantasy series has a straightforward origin story: I was eight, and my parents were playing Secret of Mana on our SNES. The Girl captured my imagination—she was grumpy and arrogant, and had immensely powerful elemental and healing abilities. She also had a dragon friend! And it was her boyfriend, rather than her, who was captured in the tower by the wicked witch. (As far as I recall, anyway.)

So I wrote down a story about a grown-up princess based on her for a book report, which my teacher didn’t like. In fairness, it was supposed to be a book report, but still, the experience was very discouraging! Discouraging or not, though, I kept plugging away at it, expanding and overhauling the story as I got older and older (and older, and older …).

There have been a lot of other influences since then, and the series is now drastically different from pretty much all the versions I wrote prior to my mid-twenties. Nevertheless, the character inspired by The Girl is still one of the main protagonists, so the original influence lingers (and I put some really pretty covers of the Secret of Mana theme on my writing playlist, hah).

Oh, and the current version of the series has its own origin story. Well, current-ish; I’ve revised it a lot of times, but they all have the same shape, characters/storyline, and general material. In any case, I was taking a YA fiction writing class as a senior in college, and using it to work on this ongoing story, and I kept trying to come up with some functional beginning to it. I wrote a bunch of different beginnings that didn’t work quite right, but as I was walking out of class one day, an opening line just … manifested in my head.

It required a lot of overhauling to make the new beginning work (including a switch from third- to first-person narration), but I loved it so much that I was willing to rewrite long swaths of the story just to make that one line work. And while I can’t say what the line is, since I’m still using it, the premise and priorities it set up have guided pretty much every other part of the story I’ve written.

I am so sick of the phrase 'delulu is the solulu'

Like, do you not know that delusions are a bad thing? They are a thing that I don't want but do have. They do not make my life easier.
