Its a horrid self fulfilled prophecy. No one wants to move because its small. Thus, it stays small. Sadly a lot of the migrations died because 1) a lot of people are not familiar with trying new tools and if they can’t immediately grasp they will drop it and 2) no federation was ready for the original surge and thus all of them crashed a lot.

Funny enough, I am largely a lurker on most platforms! Sometimes the size of the community doesn’t stop me from chatting because my special interest overrides the anxieties. I talked a lot on r/fanfiction!

As for how to appeal I really do not know. One of my favourite subreddits got sadly weird when reddit was removing mod and handicap assailable tools. They insisted they couldn’t move because they would loose their culture, their community. As if what makes the community isn’t the people, but the site itself. (Not to say how a site is structured can’t be vital in how a community interacts with each other, because it super does!) But aside from reddit’s size, it doesn’t have anything that other federations don’t have either.

absorb the words!

I’ll say you needed the break. You’ve been dreading that chapter for a long time before it became the next chapter to post.

If I ever get a comment on an older piece it usually is because I’ve posted something else recently in a more active fandom. Despite seeing the easy logic it happens so rarely it still catches one off guard when it finally happens. Lovely to hear it happening to you!

The part of season 2 was such an upgrade jump from season 1 I’m trying very hard not to have higher expectations for the next set!

Ooooh. Yeah I have one last post for that pairing week too. As in, I’m just doing one more, not that I’ve nearly completed the prompts. 4 out of 7 is a passing grade right? Sour I couldn’t pull myself for a sickfic. Always a sucker for that classic.

Best wishes to helping your brain navigate that duel! Can’t remember if I’ve mentioned before, but would it help to find real life duelists playing with similar sets?

Domaystic! Got inspired by a certain WIP and wanted to draw the Driving oneshot but fuck fuck fuck getting any visual reference of someone driving that isn’t just a damn profile is hideous. I could turn off visual safety and find some porn angle shots but my sex-postive part of my aroaceness falls apart as soon as reality gets involved. Ugh.

I won’t have kids. I absolutely have taught other people’s kids though.

I’m in the liminal space of what could be considered a fan of Sonic. Largely know it because it means a lot to friends and have deeply enjoyed what the fandom itself has made more than the original work itself. So there is a good lot here I know I’m not getting but am enjoying the ride.

Oh goodness, I haven’t a clue on how to easily take images from a site like that. You could check to see where else the comic might be hosted? Perhaps there is an easier place to grab it?

So I completely misremembered and the challenge is a tumblr post.

I know my big issue if I was writing would be the rng aspect of the game, thus the idea of referencing an actual play. I have no idea how much the change of proper rules have completely destroyed the ability for you to echo the original duel, let alone a replication(?) duel. I hope you’ll allow yourself forgiveness of a possibly sloppy card play as the more you get through this arc it will only get better (in the meantime, regardless of the card play quality, you have the rest that reads out so well!).

Thank you!

Well damn my original comment got eaten. The only recommendation I have is a Sonic fancomic: The Heart of a Monster. It’s a rewrite of Unleashed. Taking place 10 months after Shadow’s game and will apparently explore the timeline reset from 2006. Not sure how fast a comic reader you are but there are 300 pages of story thus far!

Good luck on your trip!

Ah, also forgot to add that I finally started expanding my dreamwidth blog! Don’t quite understand the limits of posting images but hosting on another spot like tumblr is no big deal.

Started somewhere in March and I know it ends when April does. I cannot find the original post that mentions it on here for some reason. And further frustrating because I feel it has to also be a dreamwidth post but I also can’t find that.

Yeah. The actual card game lol. Perhaps has anyone tried replaying that duel with the real cards that you can reference? I remember there was a video some time ago where a few duelist played out Sugoroku’s deck against Seto’s to find out in delight that because Sugoroku’s deck is literally full of “pathetic cards” it makes Seto’s virus strat completely useless lol.

Do you have a link for the Domaystic prompts? It would be nice to see if any of them will play with me.

listen. for some reason i desire more surrealist bullshit ok
