hello friends!!

@beskarandblasters and i are here to shine some light on the smaller writing blogs of the pedro pascal fandom!

now, what qualifies as a "smaller writer"? we're thinking anyone with 1k or less followers, or anyone that consistently gets less that 300 notes on their fics!

if you think you qualify, or know someone that does, starting nov 12 through the 18th, you can submit or send fics to either @beskarandblasters or myself (preferably both of us so nothing gets missed!)

we're asking that people only send one fic per writer, since this gives that writer the chance to showcase their favorite, or maybe the fic they felt didn't get the attention it deserved! this also gives the readers of these fics a chance to check out the rest of that writer's work if they liked the suggested fic!

this applies to any character played by pedro pascal, not just the ones in the banner above. gotta give those lesser loved boys their time to shine as well!

we'll be making a masterlist of recs sometime soon after the 18th so each of those fics has a place to be shown off ♥

thank you all so much for reading and for recc'ing your favorite writers!

OC Fanfiction Review Exchange 2023:

There seems to be a lack of engagement in the OC Community - so, here's an attempt to help! (This will not fix all problems, but it can do a small part for some creators)

The expectation of the exchange is that you'll pick at least 3 fics and then comment on at least 5 chapters (exception: if the fic has less than 5 chapters)

Right now I'm in the data gathering part of the exchange.  

You'll be able to "sign up" for fics to read around Nov. 11-12.

The expectation is that you'll have until Dec. 31st to do the readings you signed up for.

. . . if you don't have any fics, but are willing to read comment on this post letting me know so that I can tag you when the stories are ready to be signed-up for! :)

Information required for the exchange: (Fill out via the Google Form)

Fic Title:

Fandom:

Pairing (if applicable):

Is your fic 18+?

Summary:

Link(s):

Your Username:

You may submit up to three (3) published fics that you'd like comments on.  

Please fill out a separate form per fic. 

As long as the fic had published writing - you are welcome to submit it!

Creator's Guide to Comics Devices: November 2023 Update

The first newsletter since launch came out a few days ago! It summarises all the updates I've made in November, which includes 2 (!) new devices, a sub-device, and other site changes.

Subscribe to the newsletter to get these updates direct to your email.

New Devices:

Aside

A short comment that sits outside of a balloon or character that is not perceived by anyone except the comment maker and the reader. An aside may come from the author, usually placed outside of the panel or near the edges. (Page with examples)

Topper

A secondary row of panels or single panel that goes 'on top' of the main comic. They are typically removable and non-essential, and usually contain the comic's title. (Page with examples)

Sub-device

Markers in Code Switch

Languages are assigned flags, pictographs or other iconographic symbols. (Page with examples)

News from the Curator and Site Changelog

I'm delighted over how well-received the library has been -- thank you to everyone who has shared, commented and provided feedback! I really appreciate the enthusiasm and generosity. <3 As a comics creator taking my first formal steps into the arena of comics studies, there is still a lot to do and to read for the library. Even with 63 devices catalogued, it's only still the beginning! 

From the Interwebs

‘The Creator’s Guide to Comics Devices’ Is the First of Its Kind, an Incredible Resource for Comics Creators & Readers Alike (The Mary Sue, Joan Zahra Dark) Lovely roundup from my fellow Cartoonist Cooperative co-founder Joan setting the historical context for Comics Devices and why an accessible resource is like this is due.  

Kibbles n Bits (Comics Beat, Heidi MacDonald) An enthusiastic feature of the library in Heidi's roundup.

Shout Outs

Thank you to Ritesh, Tan Juan Gee, Samantha Philipps, Blue Dellinquanti, Ted Anderson and Hannah Pallister for their contributions. (I really need to get that credits/curator's notes page set up. That's this month's to-do) Once again, thank you to the Sequential Artists Workshop Teaching Fellowship for supporting the development of the library this month.

Updates to the Site (Nov 2023)

Added the Store page and dedicated a subsection for it on the homepage, if only to direct people to the already-existing zine that’s currently distributed by Sequential Artists Workshop and myself. I might use that page to hold things like signing up for workshops and panels if they ever happen. Added the Newsletter page so it’s easier to link to across the site and elsewhere. Opened up the page that displays all the devices on one page. Added ‘Contribution’ ‘Newsletter’ ‘All Devices’ to the sidebar. Fixed the 404 page. It suggests the Site Map for advice. Finally opened the Links page! Check out all the resources in there! Thank you to folks who have submitted feedback/contribution! I have added new example pages for Harmonious Juxtaposition/Time & Space/Pictorial Lettering/Colour Coding and a longer definition for Map Panel. Added two new devices – Aside and Topper. Added ‘Markers’ and ‘Balloon Styles’ as a subdevice to Code Switch. Finally set up the Gallery page: this is where comics pages featuring the relevant device will be catalogued. Now for the slow work of filling up the galleries…..

New in Store: The Comics Devices Quick Reference Zine Before the website launched, I produced this zine as a promotional thing + quick reference. This is a 12-page zine showcasing the devices in this library as of 2023 (not including the Topper and Aside). Perfect for students, teachers and anyone who needs a quick, in-person reference if there's no wi-fi available. Sequential Artists Workshop is selling copies for North Americans in their online store. Folks in Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia can directly contact me to get a copy. An ebook version is on the way. I will announce it via newsletter.

OTW Board Meeting Nov 12(ish)!

The next public OTW Board meeting will be held on November 12 at 1:00-2:00 AM UTC. For some of us that's actually November 11, so be sure to check when that is for you.

The currently planned agenda, from the Board Calendar:

Decisions made since the last public board meeting

Welcome new Board members

Announce officer roles

Diversity update

Any other business

Meetings are held in the OTW Discord server and last an hour. If you've attended OTW Board meetings in the past, this one will be a little different. The Board will address the agenda first, and once that business is concluded they will take at least ten questions. 

Questions should be asked in the #open-chat channel where they will be collected by moderators and added to the ⁠#questions-voting channel. There, they will be upvoted by meeting attendees and then asked in order of descending emoji count. The Board requests that questions be reasonable and polite, under 50 words, and that each person only submits one. Questions that require Board members to read and respond to any linked posts will not be accepted.

Unanswered questions will be combined and posted as weekly Q&A threads in the ⁠#questions-answers channel, starting two weeks after the most recent public meeting. This means if your question isn't covered in the meeting, there's still a chance it'll be answered later.

Also new is a set of Community Guidelines, which can be found in the #rules channel. We encourage you read them to familiarize yourself with the details. As this process is new for the Board, too, these rules may continue to be refined in the lead-up to the meeting and so the information shared in this post may not be in its final form.

Thanks for reading and we hope to see you at the meeting!

Turks. The Investigation Sector of the General Affairs Department. The Department of Administrative Research. Whatever you call them, they know who you are, and what you’re doing there.

They’re an interesting bunch, full of secrets, their own and others. Below we have the list of prompts. Feel free to be as creative with those as you want to, and take your time working on your entries, but please don’t forget to post them on the right date if you can. (But remember, late is better than never!) Don’t like the prompts, or need MOAR PROMPTS? Make up your own! Or pull from a previous year!

Bonus prompts for switching out or mixing in:  Cipher / Puzzle / Classified / Deception / Handbook / Electronic Warfare / Downtime / Bar / Sparring / Alcohol and/or Cigarettes / Self-Medication.

Please remember to include the week’s tag (ffviiturkweek) within the first 5 tags or else we might be unable to find your work!

You are welcome to reblog other’s posts, but credit where credit is due. You can submit your works on AO3 to the event collection at https://archiveofourown.org/collections/TurkWeek And if you have any questions, don’t be afraid of sending an ask, or messaging the mod (link in the blog menu sidebar).

This is a SFW event. Please be aware that NSFW content will not be reblogged here to keep this space available to as many as possible.

As long as Anxceit is the main focus, you are allowed to include polyships featuring Janus and Virgil as well. And further on that note, the ship can be celebrated in any nature: platonic, familial, romantic, etc.

Don't feel obligated to partake in every single day. Whenever you are able/willing/inspired you are free to join, but take care to not overwork yourself.

And most importantly of all: have fun! I am so thrilled to see what you all will come up with and it's an honor to organize this event for the community here. Feel free to send me an ask if you have any questions or comments!

"Prompt" for January 2024!

January Prompt Fills! 

Inspired by the Livejournal Kink Meme days of old, I wanted to host a prompt submission/prompt fill challenge for the month of January! We will be anonymously collecting prompts for two weeks this month, then posting the prompts towards the end of November. A Google Form will soon follow for people to claim which prompt they would like to fulfill (on a first come, first serve basis!) My goal is for everyone to get at least one of their prompts filled, so please think about participating if you are at all inclined!!

Before asking any questions, please read through the following Rules and Timeline carefully. If you still have a question, feel free to submit it!

Rules

Please be kind and respectful towards each other. This is all in good fun and to show our love for Taskmaster and anything Taskmaster-adjacent!

To add to the above—don’t yuck anybody’s yum. All pairings, tropes, and kinks are accepted here.

Prompt fills (prompts to be claimed later) can be in ANY format: i.e. fanfiction, fanart, fanvids, podfic, etc.!

Any ratings are acceptable. Please respect the wishes of the prompt giver as much as possible (i.e. if they ask for something gen, don’t create an explicit romance)

You do NOT have to submit a prompt in order to fulfill one, and vice versa.

Only 2 prompt submissions (one Google Form) per person to start this round. The submission form is anonymous, so we are going off the honor system here. Please respect it.

You do not have to post your fill to ao3, however that will be the main place to do so. And when posting on ao3, always remember to add your submission to the LAH Fic Club collection!

The format for prompts will be as follows: 

-Pairing/Gen -Fandom -Prompt Description (see example below)

Timeline

Prompt Collection: November 10th at 12:00 P.M. PST through November 24th at 12:00 P.M. PST (time zone equivalents included on the submission form)

Prompts Posted (to the LAH fic club tumblr): November 25th*

Prompt Claiming: The first round of claims will start Nov. 27th and will run through Dec. 4th. It will be in the same time zones as prompt collection was.

Posting Dates: January 1st - 31st in your time zone (technically you can post earlier or later than those dates, but let’s aim for the month of January as much as possible)

*Date subject to change, based on how well prompt submission goes and how fast I can get my butt in gear.

I think that's everything for now! Prompt collection starts very soon- so start brainstorming those prompts asap! :D
