Weight Of A Feather

[half vine]

@silver heron here you go!

[silver heron]

the process can begin

[tepid jackal]

wanna write the promt in here again?

[silver heron]

i will

ALRIGHT! HERES YOUR PROMPT!

An iterator, during the time of the ancients rule was tasked with a unusual task compared to the many others, resource operations. One of the grand issues was bioengineering creatures to collect resources, which is what you writer's job is. BEFORE this prompt begins, you will all work under one iterator as sort of idea parts, and you can create creatures and relations that this iterator makes. FIRST! Name your iterator!

State the names yall want and il make a vote

reach with the emoji you want for the vote

[eager cloak]

[olive magnet]

lmao i was about to suggest doing it like that

[silver heron]

i could have done it the whole time

WE HAVE.. A WINNER!!!

@half vine could you add the iterator name to the thread name :3

OUT WINNE IS!WEIGHT OF A FEATHER!!!

[half vine]

Weight Of A Feather

[silver heron]

thank you

NOW THEN!!

[half vine]

[silver heron]

READY! SET!?!? GO!!!

[tepid jackal]

being honest, i dont really get the promt again, gimmi details pls

[silver heron]

its basically

yall get to make an iterator logs for an iterator that was built to collect resources

[jolly solstice]

¤May i put some stuff here to help you folks a bit?¤

[silver heron]

anyone can participate

im just the director

[jolly solstice]

¤Ehh, i still making research around it, so just sharing.¤

[tepid jackal]

i feel so dumb, should i get that? i think i should but i really just dont get it

[silver heron]

if you need to understand

watch iterator logs by daszombes

you'll catch on

[viscid pagoda]

making a basis for a fic except it's a group effort i guess?

[silver heron]

yes

[tepid jackal]

i watched that a lot

i fell for the fucking april joke

[viscid pagoda]

broken knee

[tepid jackal]

im so mad about that, i was so exited when the count down went down

[jolly solstice]

¤That may bump some ideas.¤

[silver heron]

heres an example for one i guess #1265364196384571482 message

[tepid jackal]

[silver heron]

yall get to bioengineer creatures that collect material!

[tepid jackal]

so its like the log format

[silver heron]

yes

[tepid jackal]

no description stuff outside, only logs?

[silver heron]

you can hav stuff outside of logs

i dont really mind

[hardy pagoda]

We need another iterator

[silver heron]

its a weird mix

WELL YOU CAN MAKE THEM!

im literally just here as the ideas guy

you do everything else

[hardy pagoda]

I came up with the name for the first one, if I do another I’ll feel like I’m hogging it all

[tepid jackal]

so it has to be logs, woaf has to engenner a creature to collect sth, anything really, and thats it, right?

[silver heron]

multiple creatures if you want

[viscid pagoda]

pass the name to sb else through DMs and don't tell anyone else

[silver heron]

hes made to optimize the collection of material

[hardy pagoda]

The Puppetmaster

[tepid jackal]

do we have a time limit?

[silver heron]

not at all

go wild man

now, my wonderful chefs..

[tepid jackal]

word limit?

[silver heron]

no limits.

do whatever you want.

[tepid jackal]

[silver heron]

my wonderful chefs, BAKE!

COOK!

AND BOIL!

[tepid jackal]

even ||hold hands||

[viscid pagoda]

alright 100k kitchensink time

[hardy pagoda]

MODS THIS ONE

[silver heron]

yes

[viscid pagoda]

||everywhere is a good place for calloutpost ey?||

[silver heron]

i dont care.

[tepid jackal]

NOOOO, im innocent!!!

[silver heron]

as long as the rules of the server allow it

its allowed

[tepid jackal]

||woaf is a calloutpost shiper so they get make this really overcomplicated creature just to get there hands on some flowers so they can set the two up on a date||
script done

[hardy pagoda]

Pack it and ship it, folks

We’re done here

[silver heron]

i may have cut on budget to zero dollars

we have no shipping

[viscid pagoda]

print and hand out to people on the street

[silver heron]

paper is too expensive

we gotta use leaves

[viscid pagoda]

just go out and start rambling

[silver heron]

STONE TABLETS

WE WILL WRITE IT ON STONE TABLETS

[hardy pagoda]

Alright, so let’s roll up the sleeves and get to it… what kinda resources are these beasts trying gather, then?

[silver heron]

your imagination is the limitt

this is basically palworld but you dont capture wild animals

mostly

[viscid pagoda]

hm maybe some creature that has an acidic spit it uses to dissolve rocks?

[tepid jackal]

you gonna make a collection for the works where we can post them in?

[silver heron]

i have no idea how to do that

so uhh

amany your the co-director

you figure itout

[eager cloak]

I never watched Iterator logs

I prefer reading fics…

[tepid jackal]

collection stuff wise? i can do that

[viscid pagoda]

watch, now

[tepid jackal]

huuhhhhhh

its so good

do it

[silver heron]

yes

[eager cloak]

Wehhhh

[hardy pagoda]

Don’t worry banan, just make some crap up ||I haven’t watched em either||

[viscid pagoda]

[silver heron]

so many people who havnt seen peak

[eager cloak]

I feel pressured

I am being peer pressured

[silver heron]

listen to it in the backround

there isnt much visuals

[viscid pagoda]

bullying works /j

[tepid jackal]

quick side note, everyone here will post on ao3 right? otherwise making a collection wouldnt make much sense

[hardy pagoda]

If you make a collection on AO3, I will add something to it… dunno about everyone else.

[jolly solstice]

¤I have a cyborg scug that's both a defensor of districts and also a resource/messenger transporter, maybe could be one of these creatures?¤

[eager cloak]

I make no promises

[silver heron]

this remind me of a certain.. cyclebreaker..

[tepid jackal]

i think it would make sense to make one
tho if people prefer to simply post it thats fine too

[olive magnet]

im weird in how i have to see a set design of a character before i can start lore-ing it up

[silver heron]

well yall can get artists to make one if you want

all i ask is for a feather on their head soemwhere

[olive magnet]

im an artist

[silver heron]

maybe a light brown/dark orange for their color mainly

[olive magnet]

everyone needs to tell me the design ideas NOW

[silver heron]

WHAT IF

ANTLER ANENNA

[olive magnet]

that'd be so sick

[tepid jackal]

do we need a set personallity or can woaf just be whatever and whoever we want them to be?

[silver heron]

you can vote on that if you want

[hardy pagoda]

Weight Of A Feather is an allusion to the Egyptian mythology of how one’s heart (or soul, depending on the interpretation) would be weighed against a feather to see if they were weighed down by their sins before they were allowed into the afterlife.

[olive magnet]

i got my sticky note open for design ideas

[hardy pagoda]

Take that as you will, I suppose

[tepid jackal]

give us the vote

[hardy pagoda]

Perhaps there is a theme of judgment or appraisal to WOAF?
As for visual stylings… the ‘Egyptian god’ style is always cool.

[olive magnet]

should i fetch designs ive done so far (they are, admittedly, very very simple)

[silver heron]

i dont know personality descriptions

[tepid jackal]

i think more like, set personality or free style

[silver heron]

ah

freestyle

for yall

VOTE!
FREESTYLE PERSONALITY
SET PERSONALITY!

[tepid jackal]

so woaf can either be the most bubbily person ever or just some depressed piece of work, perfect

[tepid jackal]

i cant decide, im picking both

[olive magnet]

i could try something less simple but id need to know what exactly to do

[eager cloak]

@fast sable you’re really excellent at coming up with purposed organisms so maybe you’d enjoy this project…? Sorry for the ping if not :3

[tepid jackal]

i love the design for the first one especially
the face marks are just chefs kiss

[eager cloak]

I didn’t imagine FC as orange

Maybe I missed that description

[olive magnet]

nope i never described him

[silver heron]

this orange

is ginemenanorus

whatever they say

[eager cloak]

[olive magnet]

anyways ill go conjure up some sketches fer yall to choose from

expect them to come later

[silver heron]

FOR NOW!

how about the first archived converstion, at their creation?

[tepid jackal]

it also seems as if set personalitly won so we will need to get some options for another vote in that regard

[silver heron]

ragh

[eager cloak]

Also pronouns should probably be decided unless we want them gender fluid to accommodate

[tepid jackal]

im gonna be the fun killer but i think set prounouns would be better, i think if we all work with the same rough character but with different ideas it would be the most interesting

[silver heron]

VOTE!
PERSONALITYS :3
RUDE!
KIND!
CALM!
QUIET!
ABSOLUTELEY SCRUNGLY!

[eager cloak]

Stuck bt rude and skrumkly

[tepid jackal]

i need more options

[eager cloak]

Why don’t we refine after first vote

Rude, and…

[silver heron]

ANOTHER VOTE!
NOOBNOUNS, PRONOUNS, HACKERNOUNS!
HE/HIM
SHE/HER
THEY/THEM!
HE/HER!
SHE/THEY!
HE/THEM!

[eager cloak]

(For example)

[silver heron]

WITH THIS TIE.. WE HAVE 2?!?!?

RUDE, AND QUIEET!

[eager cloak]

Rude and quiet

Interesting

[silver heron]

DO NOTE!

this will be a first generation iterator

[tepid jackal]

rude would be fun but writing the inception log with a rude personality just screams drama

the ancients will not like it

[eager cloak]

Rude and quiet though…

[silver heron]

hes quiet around anchients

[eager cloak]

Keeps nasty thoughts to themself….

[silver heron]

yes

[tepid jackal]

quiet but cusses everone out in their head

[olive magnet]

me

[silver heron]

NOW!

[silver heron]

OUR WINNER!!

SHE/HER!!

NOW THEN

WE ARE PREPARED

TO MAKE

THE FIRST.

LOG!

BRANCH!

[tepid jackal]

!!!

[silver heron]

LUMBER!

TWIG!!!!!!!!

[tepid jackal]

SLEEP (ITS FUCKING LATE HERE)

[hardy pagoda]

WOAF is a she/her with a quiet yet rude attitude… I can work with that

[jolly solstice]

¤Rudiet.¤

[silver heron]

i will state it again, this is a first generation iterator!

[olive magnet]

we should stew on a few ideas

[hardy pagoda]

🍲

[tepid jackal]

first gen??? oh no, that makes things harder again

[silver heron]

actually.

second

because thats when they want to actually make more iterators

i would say

[hardy pagoda]

You might wanna put that to a vote…

I like first gen

[tepid jackal]

actually, lets vote

[jolly solstice]

¤Not much, i made the first Iterator give a middle finger to the Ancients.¤

[silver heron]

THE 7000TH VOTE!
1ST GENERATION1️⃣
2ND GENERATION2️⃣
3RD GENERATION3️⃣
4TH GENERATION!4️⃣
5TH GENERATION!5️⃣

[olive magnet]

what kind of antlers should the antennae be based on

[hardy pagoda]

5th?

[jolly solstice]

¤Degenerations.¤

[tepid jackal]

lmao, i always only have the first three

[silver heron]

uhh

[hardy pagoda]

Spooky wendigo deer antlers

[silver heron]

do different types in the sketches

if your doign multiple

im a fan of deer antlers

[jolly solstice]

¤Low poly but made two like this.¤

[tepid jackal]

they be tiny

[jolly solstice]

¤Second one isn't.¤

[olive magnet]

gimme a few hours bc i gotta go do somethin

then i be back w sketches

[silver heron]

OUR WINNER!

FIRST GENERATION!

FINALLY, TRULY, WE DIDNT FORGET ANYTHING.

NOW, BAKE, COOK, AND BROIL THOSE LOGS!

[tepid jackal]

I WILL!!!

(tomorrow)

[viscid pagoda]

i go afk for like 45 mins and we have so much development

[hardy pagoda]

Might cook up something tonight, put it in a doc and post here for everyone else to poke at…

[eager cloak]

I will consider hfish has priority

[jolly solstice]

¤For some reason i've read this as Weight Of a Father now.¤

[fast sable]

TBH I like pings to an extent they make me feel wanted somewhere also Ooooo

Whats this project about?

[eager cloak]

I saw the concept for this and thought of you

[eager cloak]

lemme grab

[silver heron]

actually

scroll to the top

its there

[eager cloak]

#1265756596429131858 message

collaborative story

everyone writing lil prompts about the same iterator :3

[fast sable]

Oh cooooooolllll!!!!

Has the Itertor name been chosen?

[eager cloak]

Iterator name: Weight of a Feather
she/her
personality quiet & rude
first gen iterator

was what all the votes came to

I believe the first prompt is a log where she is waking up the first time yes?

[fast sable]

Ooo. Noice- have there been any purposed organisms suggested yet?

[eager cloak]

not yet!

[fast sable]

Hmmm, and we can suggest writing promps aswell?

[silver heron]

go ahead

im the director and amany is co-director

[hardy pagoda]

Please do

[silver heron]

but i reccomend starting first with an iterator log's style character introduction.

[eager cloak]

I still haven't watched iterator logs

[silver heron]

do it

its rreally good

trust me

[eager cloak]

HMMMM

[silver heron]

on your time

[viscid pagoda]

2nd strike /j

[eager cloak]

but I'm still behind on some fics

[viscid pagoda]

Okay that's a funny personality

[viscid pagoda]

IL take like, what, maybe an hour total to watch?

[eager cloak]

and on hfish asdfsadgad

my fic baby needs attention

[viscid pagoda]

Well maybe 2

[viscid pagoda]

Hm good point

[silver heron]

listen to it in the backround

not many visuals

theres like

2 scenes with visuals

[eager cloak]

i'm adhd af I will need to pay attention or I will not absorb it

[fast sable]

Banan, Cradle takes HEAVY influence from Iterator logs btw

[eager cloak]

I like cradle...

[silver heron]

ah

same

[fast sable]

But yeah I was thinking maybe some kind of bug like mineral processing creatur with like three mandibles

[silver heron]

mandibles..

bug..

modified dropwig?

[fast sable]

Ooo that could work- though because they are desining it pre-MA might make more sense if its not based on in game fauna

[silver heron]

true

[fast sable]

https://preview.redd.it/i3uch4rfhd331.jpg?auto=webp&s=35ab05c96c5f07d8556d165d8c919daf74b96db5 this but bug mouth

[silver heron]

AHH

something like that

yesz

[olive magnet]

yall making me think of that worm thing from dexters labratory that ate metal n shit

[silver heron]

CHAT.

RAINWORLD DUNE WORM.

[silver heron]

acutally, il write the iterator introduction

feel free to copy paste it into whatever place your gonna store it

LOG START
ARCHIVED CONVERSATION
CYCLE 10922
A: Iterator, what is your name?
WOAF: Weight Of A Feather.
A: Correct, and what are you?
WOAF: I am an Iterator, a monumental supercomputer.
A: Good, good. Next question, what were you designed to do?
WOAF: I was designed primarily to produce resources.
A: And, correct again. Do you have any questions before we finish?
WOAF: Yes, I've been wonde-
A: No need for reasoning, we're on a tight schedule. Just ask the question.
WOAF: I apologize.. Where is my equipment for producing material? I have noticed I only have the capability of transport.
A: Ah, I forgot to tell you, didn't I. You were build with multiple chambers focused purely on bioengineering for you to create creatures to harvest for you.
WOAF: I see.
A: Is that all?
WOAF: Yes.
A: This log is finished.

LOG ENDED

enjoy the bit of a starting push

[hardy pagoda]

you missed the 's' at the end of 'creature'

[olive magnet]

now yall gotta understand this sketch image is garbage because i had to take it w my laptop

i ran out of ideas towards the end lmao

[silver heron]

2 looks amazing

YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!

VOTE TIME!

[hardy pagoda]

I really like 2... but somehow I think 1 fits the character more? Just a feeling I have.

[silver heron]

VOTE FOR A DESIGN!!
1
2
3
4

[olive magnet]

krita will make everything better (bezier curve tool)

[silver heron]

what if

we put 1's clothes on 2

[hardy pagoda]

I dunno... I just feel like two is overall too 'flashy' for a 'quiet' character.

[olive magnet]

i was just throwin ideas

[silver heron]

fair

what if

1's head on 2's body

like taller frame but same clothes as 1

[hardy pagoda]

I love them all, tbh. I'm just being critical about which one I think is the best.

[olive magnet]

drawin more fun for buddies :)

[silver heron]

i love the accessories dangling from the horns

gives me dreamcatcher vibes

[olive magnet]

i'll go throw together two more sketches later

[silver heron]

uhhh

[hardy pagoda]

Alright, I got something

[silver heron]

yall think we have enough people to stop letting more in?

[hardy pagoda]

I got nothing against more people

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LtIoV3TNFxLfLW9K9_usBzDAWnjmcD18uQuZLcQT0jc/edit?usp=sharing

[hardy pagoda]

WOAF records a log on her next-gen laborers

(with some assistance)

[silver heron]

absoluteley splendid on my view

[hardy pagoda]

They're just scavengers. She made scavengers, and she gave them antlers because she has antlers

[silver heron]

reinvented the wheel

[hardy pagoda]

I literally was thinking of calling this piece "Reinventing the Wheel"

though I was kinda trying to hint that maybe WOAF is the origin of all scavengers as they appear in Rain World. She is old enough, as a gen 1.

[silver heron]

could be possible

[hardy pagoda]

do I need to bother with hiding things behind spoilers in here, I wonder? If everyone contributes to the same story, not much point to secrecy, maybe...

[silver heron]

not really

unless its someone who isnt participating when its done

[olive magnet]

soilers begone

[hardy pagoda]

they are gone

everyone knows the horrible truth about scrags now

[olive magnet]

perfect

[silver heron]

(in the AU!!!!)

[hardy pagoda]

Might put this on AO3 later, just so I can stick it into Karessra’s collection whenever they make it.

[olive magnet]

ough these are yummy words

imma have to step up my game when i eventually start makin lore

[silver heron]

this be no competetion lads

[olive magnet]

i know

i just be mega motivated

[hardy pagoda]

I hope I managed to capture quiet and rude

[silver heron]

yall can add whatever iterator you want

[olive magnet]

my behavior towards my cats (but i love them and they love me)

[magic crest]

May I?

[hardy pagoda]

@silver heron

[silver heron]

yes

[silver heron]

i am summoned

[hardy pagoda]

I just called you to answer celestiums question

I did post the thing I wrote in the library, with a link to this thread, so we may see a couple more people jump in at some point

[silver heron]

sure

as many as your fine with having

[hardy pagoda]

I don't mind either way... even if we got like every active writer in stories in here, I think that would only be like 30 people tops, which would be a lot, but not too many for a project like this.

[olive magnet]

i made only one

[tepid jackal]

how are you so fast?????

i only just woke up

and did we already chose a design? i quite like the first one

[tepid jackal]

should we stick 100% to the design or could i make it that she only has one feather on one side? the beads i would keep but i want sth asymmetrical

[olive magnet]

whatever yall want. i can make anything work

im indecisive so its in everyone else's hands to decide lmao

[hardy pagoda]

I do quite like this one

[olive magnet]

omg its gonna look so much better in krita

[tepid jackal]

same, has sth very elegant about it which i like for a first gen

[tepid jackal]

cy, unrelated but quick question, what exactly should i make the collection traits? unreaveled obvioulsy not since that wouldnt work etc but are there any i should and any i shoulndt? i think i could make it open so anyone that wants can join, right?

(putting that over here, makes more sense then story misc)

[silver heron]

check out this centipede

[silver heron]

anyway loving the design

[hardy pagoda]

never made a collection before so I really cant help ya

[olive magnet]

should i just do the character or a whole character sheet

[silver heron]

whole sheet if you want

[tepid jackal]

got it, i will just try and send the link if it has one

[olive magnet]

yippee i can avoid a whole ass sheet :D

they are fun but whoo boy i hate doing em

i will line and color it tomorrow

and then

i write

[olive magnet]

i also had such a funny idea for a scribble of this

an ms paint drawing

[hardy pagoda]

I would love to see it...

[tepid jackal]

if you want you could scribble a x times x drawing of her face or sth. we could give the collection a picture then

[olive magnet]

ough im gonna be busy tomorrow

• need to finish 2k words of ignored fic
• draw woaf
• write my woaf entry

fun

[silver heron]

woaf is a funny abbreviation lol

[tepid jackal]

im trying to get my first chapter out before work today as well

[silver heron]

woaf of bweaed

[olive magnet]

imagine someone makes a joke bc it looks/sounds like woof and she's just "i am going to make a neuron smoothie out of you"

[silver heron]

ok what do neuronflys taste like

i gotta know

because im the guy who likes how pennys taste

[hardy pagoda]

Marshmallows 🙂

[olive magnet]

dragonfruit but angrier

[tepid jackal]

@silver heron i need to fill out cetain boxes for the collection. gimmi sth to write please for:

Brief description
Introduction
Rules

[olive magnet]

not good dragonfruit- the bland ones in like walmart or publix

the ones that taste more like nothing

and grainy bc them mfs full of seeds

[silver heron]

for rules, run it a bit like logging down various discoveries and such

[tepid jackal]

???

[silver heron]

i might not get it

[tepid jackal]

i just woke up, my brain is even slower right now

[silver heron]

i made a brief description (kinda)

#1265756596429131858 message

yall can redo it if you want

[tepid jackal]

got it

ALRIGHT! HERES YOUR PROMPT!

An iterator, during the time of the ancients rule was tasked with a unusual task compared to the many others, resource operations. One of the grand issues was bioengineering creatures to collect resources, which is what you writer's job is.

i think that works as a brief introductuin, right?

[silver heron]

yah

[tepid jackal]

@silver heron does that work for an introduction?`

This will be a project where writers will be given a Character, some characteristics, and a rough list of things to write about.
Everyone gets the same set up and everyone has the same goals, but how you put it into action is up to you. For example, you could just make it a one-shot as long as all criteria are met in that one chapter or make it multiple chapters.
There are no limits regarding words or time and as long as its all sfw (gore and all is fine, just don't make it to overall smexual please) you will be fine.
Tone wise do what you want!!! You can make it funny, sad, or even just downright miserable, you are the writer so be creative!
No one will be forced to finish if the steam runs out though, we are all only here to have a good and fun time.
Now, let's write!!!

[silver heron]

absoluteley.. SPLENDID.

[tepid jackal]

only the rules left then

[tepid jackal]

Here are the rules as to what has to be in the story for it to check of all the important stuff.

The story will follow an Iterator called Weight of a Feather (she/her) who as a personality base is rather quiet but in her head can be pretty rude to others (only the base of course, you can expand that if you like).
She will be a first generation Iterator who was mainly built by the ancients to purpose an organism, a creature or multiple creatures (your choice) that will have to collect something (also your choice) for some reason.

The story itself should begin with an inception log (if you don't know what Iterator Logs by Daszombes is, you can either check it out on Youtube, it is good, trust me bro, or you can just freestyle it. There will be a little example at the end) with the first discussion Weight of a Feather and her Administrator leading the inception will have.
What they talk about, if it is just a one of ancient or more than that, if they already explain what the mission is, etc, is again all up to you!
Overall, it is encouraged to write similarly in the Iterator Log 'style' but you can also just do it once for the opening and then never again if that's what you want.

Nothing is against adding other characters mind you. If you want you can give Weight of a Feather a Local Group or not. Using already cannon characters? Thats on the board as well!

The setting starts and has to play some of its beats during a time where the ancients are still alive, if it stays that way or not, you decide.

Here is one really quick example of what an Inception Log could look like:

LOG START
ARCHIVED CONVERSATION
CYCLE 10922
A: Iterator, what is your name?
WOAF: Weight Of A Feather.
A: Correct, and what are you?
WOAF: I am an Iterator, a monumental supercomputer.
A: Good, good. Next question, what were you designed to do?
WOAF: I was designed primarily to produce resources.
A: And, correct again. Do you have any questions before we finish?
WOAF: Yes, I've been wonde-
A: No need for reasoning, we're on a tight schedule. Just ask the question.
WOAF: I apologize.. Where is my equipment for producing material? I have noticed I only have the capability of transport.
A: Ah, I forgot to tell you, didn't I. You were build with multiple chambers focused purely on bioengineering for you to create creatures to harvest for you.
WOAF: I see.
A: Is that all?
WOAF: Yes.
A: This log is finished.

Other then that, write what you want!
If you have more questions, this idea spawned in the Rain World Discord Server, the story discussions section and has a thread creatively named Weight of a Feather, so you can ask stuff in there any time!
Have fun!

@silver heron should work, right? did i miss any rules that were decided on?

[silver heron]

its great

exactly what i wanted

[tepid jackal]

then let me get that collection started

https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Weight_of_a_Feather_multiple_writers_project

i think for now im done

@hardy pagoda you know how to add your story right? if yes you wanna test it out if you find time? i think joining and adding stuff should be really simple if i did not mess up during the creation

[silver heron]

@half vine could you pin the archive link

[silver heron]

thank you

[tepid jackal]

i think we should pin some more stuff right?

like character concept so far, what to write about, etc

[silver heron]

yah

[silver heron]

definiteley pin this

[half vine]

send the message links of what needs to be pinned

[silver heron]

another good pin

[silver heron]

and this

[silver heron]

i think thats it

[half vine]

got it

[hardy pagoda]

sorry I was preoccupied. I will try it out now!

[tepid jackal]

its in!!!

[hardy pagoda]

[tepid jackal]

A short piece for the RW discord community writing project "Weight Of A Feather", a collection of works and media about an Iterator tasked with making various purposed organisms for resource collection.

that.
can i use that as an opening for the description as well?

[hardy pagoda]

of course

[tepid jackal]

i think its funny, i just started to finally get the picture of an overall story and you already have the first thing out

[tepid jackal]

tho i must aks, is that a stand alone story or will sth be added to it?

[hardy pagoda]

I mean... something will be added, I assume, by the fact that we're all kind of writing around the same Iterator.
But, if the question is "do I plan to build on more of with this whole 'WOAF made scavengers' plotline?" then, maybe? I could. I wouldn't at all mind if someone else did, either, by the way!

[tepid jackal]

my woaf will be a farmer

no other context

[hardy pagoda]

calling them woaf fics is very silly, and I like it

[tepid jackal]

woaf fics assemble

[hardy pagoda]

I find it interesting that your take is that we're all going to be writing indivdual stories off of the same prompt

I was defenitley approaching it that we were all going to be throwing in bits and pieces of one story

I'm not too concerened about it either way, though

[tepid jackal]

i think it would be funny to see where everyone goes with the same promt

[tepid jackal]

but thats interesting too

maybe i will make multiple woafs, one is my farmer one which i have a story for now, one will be the all ever growing woaf where everyone adds stuff, maybe i will make a woaf that supplies her city with mushrooms, maybe i will go throuhg with my first idea of woaf collecting void spawn, so many options, so many woafs

[hardy pagoda]

Well, I'm going to make it clear right here and now. Anything I write for WOAF is fair game for anyone else writing WOAF to use in their own stories.
I will ask others about borrowing ideas and plot points from their own narratives, of course... but if I permission is given, I will be borrowing all I can! That's part of the fun of a community project like this.

[hardy pagoda]

...so many woafs...

[tepid jackal]

instantly grabs five- c
come here precious

[hardy pagoda]

I'm glad you like them even though they have no lines and are never described

[tepid jackal]

like my first idea was to just make her collect void spawn but that isnt really a matirial, now is it. plus that would have been really plotty and i would have ended it with her either being shut down or collapsed in saints time line with her creation still alive or sht like that.
as for my actal plans now. farmer woaf is a goof. shes bored wants to entertain herself with sht

||she will just try to create the perfect creature for farming that has a 100% success rate since she has nth else to do||
maybe i will put some background plot with the planned local group but probably not much more

[hardy pagoda]

oh? I'm curious what kind of local group you imagine WOAF has

[tepid jackal]

||3 members probably, all related to the farming ploy in some way or another, she just gets the most boring job and sine she doesnt like to talk with others too much she probably wont interact with them too much||

ALSO!!!

“...That was a joke, Five-C. I know you don’t get paid, neither of us do.”

this line

how did i forget

its gold

[hardy pagoda]

I really tried to make it funny! This doesn't seem like the kinda project I wanna take super duper seriously.

I got no issue with anyone who does, though. I think woaf could be dark, brooding, and misunderstood, if you wanted to write her that way.

[tepid jackal]

||maybe i will make a happy go lucky story and just make the last chapter post saint where shes fuckign dead for no other reason other then because i can ||

wouldnt that be neat

[hardy pagoda]

|| woaf abuser...||

[tepid jackal]

thats me

[hardy pagoda]

I like how you say ||the most boring job, implying that there's some really cool and interesting farm work that the other three are doing in the background while woaf is just trying to make the crops grow better ||

[tepid jackal]

||Her only job is to plug the crops. like the whole creature being to collect stuff thing is finished right at the beginning basically and now all she will do is overwatch the process. her senior will care for them and fend of random animals that want to eat the stuff and the one after her will be supplieng all the crops around to different city grounds so both of them have more stuff to do then her. since shes bored she will try to perfect the collecters that she already has in numerous kind of ways and will get some random shenanigans on the side, thats it||

im also really tempted to make one of the ancients come up to her and be like.

hey- hey kid, your senior is to strict but me and a few palls would really like it if you could add mushrooms for totilly legit reasons to the plantation, mind doing that

that will be the drug addictded ancients chapter

[hardy pagoda]

you know, I think I said it earlier, but I don't know that you really need to put spoilers on this stuff? Everyone in here is part of project woaf, so I think that they're probably gonna just look past the spoilers anyways.
Up to you, though!

[hardy pagoda]

Breaking Woaf

"We have to grow, Five-C"

[tepid jackal]

wait you did??? i did not see that, wow

but yeah, makes sense

[hardy pagoda]

When will the police end woaf's crime spree

[tepid jackal]

now i really want to make woaf a drug empire lord or sth

[hardy pagoda]

do it if you dare...

[tepid jackal]

hmmmm

i should probably first finish the script before making her a drug supplier, ugh, i also still need to come up with an end

[hardy pagoda]

how long of a fic are you making?

[tepid jackal]

no clue

[hardy pagoda]

I plan on keeping anything woaf I write to short one shots

[tepid jackal]

depends on the amount of attampts she will get for creating the perfect collecter

[tepid jackal]

i will try some unrelated one shot at some point, but for now i will try a complete story

[hardy pagoda]

it's like a serialized sitcom where she tries a different technique every episode and it always ends up failing

[tepid jackal]

its not like i have anyhting else to do

[tepid jackal]

exactly!!!

some loose threads here and there but nth more

[hardy pagoda]

no... it's not like I'm blowing off any other projects to write silly stories about woaf

indeed

[tepid jackal]

bs hell is starig at me with disbelieve right now as i kick it aside

now now bs hell, its Weight of the Feathers time on the xbox now!

stop crying, you will get your turn again soon enough

[hardy pagoda]

hey at least you're only ignoring one project, right?

[tepid jackal]

oh lord

[hardy pagoda]

No, I need to write silly stuff sometimes, and neither of my longfics are very silly ATM, so I'm actually really glad to have something like this

[tepid jackal]

sometimes you just need sth silly

[hardy pagoda]

I hope we haven't buried anything anyone would need to read for the project with all our yapping

Well, the pins and the collection description kinda sum everything up

[dull mural]

This seems interesting

[olive magnet]

you nerds pinged me while i was asleep

okay so what have i missed

[olive magnet]

what color eyes yall thinkin? black, white, or a very pale version of another color?

im at this point

[viscid pagoda]

I think white contrasts nicely so far? But it would be nice to see the other proposals to compare them better

[olive magnet]

mm how this lookin yall

[silver heron]

splendid

[olive magnet]

i spent an hour doing them swirls

[silver heron]

makes sense

[eager cloak]

Shworl

Looks nice

[olive magnet]

i should be done very soon

what would the environment around her superstructure be like?

so i can try and do a little background or smth

[silver heron]

uhhhh

probably full of resources and minerals

maybe like a quarry

[viscid pagoda]

Maybe kinda excavated or strip mined in some places, making artificial lakes of sorts?

[olive magnet]

i dont know why i asked bc i didnt do a background

open in browser for less poopy quality

[silver heron]

splendid!!!

[olive magnet]

im writing now

[tepid jackal]

looks fricking amazing!!!
i love the little asymmetry

[hardy pagoda]

WOAF

[silver heron]

woaf of bwead

[olive magnet]

[silver heron]

this project is probably like a witches' cauldron

we all circle around it and throw random things in

until it works

[silver heron]

idea for a new bioengineered creature! worm that has a drill for a face

[dull mural]

Wonder what kind of creatures would be adapted to till the ground
Assuming the Ancients used modern farming practices, as we are currently transitioning to more renewable systems

[hardy pagoda]

There’s someone on AO3 who doesn’t have discord access who wants to contribute a story.
They asked it would okay for them to write from the perspective of another character with the same speciality.
I got no problem with it, but I figured I’d bring it up here before giving them the go-ahead.

Thoughts? @silver heron

[silver heron]

sure, go ahead

[eager cloak]

Have a doodle, woaf fans

(I’m sorry I didn’t draw the dress bc I hate drawing them asdsadsa)

Why does she have a batfly? Idk maybe she made them? What resource do batflies gather waof fans

[hardy pagoda]

WOAF

[hardy pagoda]

Batnip, of course… that’s why they always gather around it.

Why gather batnip, though? Well, to attract batflies, of course

[eager cloak]

What if batflies are literally engineered to be food for the other purp orgs, and they’re attracted to bat up by design so they’re easily caught by those purps? Self-replenishing food supply

[hardy pagoda]

it might explain why they're just about everywhere

or perhaps they were very small cargo-haulers, and they clumped together to lift bigger things a sort of coordinated network... which only worked while they were being coordinated by the ancients, of course

[eager cloak]

Pollinators/seed soreaders, to spread purposed plants?

[hardy pagoda]

perhaps... it would certainly match the 'small flyers' of the real world

[silver heron]

im loving where this is going

[eager cloak]

Their nests do have some kind of weird plant growing

Maybe it’s less they nest in those plants, and more that they grow them :0

[hardy pagoda]

or maybe they were something just completely out of left field, like a the little nests they make on the ground are the perfect material for making ceremonial prayer mats or something.

[silver heron]

modify batlfies to pollenate any plant and make them do it with incredible efficiency

[eager cloak]

Or maybe she thinks they’re cute

[eager cloak]

Ooo

I like how hyper specific this is

[silver heron]

woaf just makes rugs

[eager cloak]

Like the ancients wouldn’t deign to wear (insert ceremonial garb here) that wasn’t made from this specific rare plant

[silver heron]

woaf is that weird rug shop down the street that had an incident with a certain zombes

[hardy pagoda]

but there wasn't anything else that filled the 'small flyer' niche, so by slugcat times they've just spread everywhere, making what was once a very rare and expensive fabric now just the most common cloth on the whole of the planet

[eager cloak]

yes

[silver heron]

imagine

IDEA

[hardy pagoda]

and most scug cultures think it's kinda gross because it's what batflies nest in
...maybe some kind of comedy bit about an iterator bragging about how their little dress is made of the finest bat-silk and the scug they're talking to just thinks to themselves They're wearing what? Nasty!

[eager cloak]

@olive magnet what color are her overseers

[silver heron]

bacteria that loosens chunks of metal on the surface of ore nodes

[silver heron]

beige

[eager cloak]

I might color this later we’ll see

[silver heron]

i kinda want beige ones

like the gourmand safari overseer

[hardy pagoda]

I don't hate beige... but it's a bit bland

[eager cloak]

Idk… maybe a more pop-y color since the rest of her is pretty muted

[silver heron]

beige looks gold to me

[eager cloak]

She’s using some earthy colors

[hardy pagoda]

usually the color of the overseer is a contrast to the puppet (except for NSH, the weirdo)

[eager cloak]

NSH knows what he’s about

[olive magnet]

i have not thought of that yet

[silver heron]

maybe add in scavengers that collect the ores

or some other organsim

[olive magnet]

let me consult a color palette

[eager cloak]

Did you see my doodle :3

[hardy pagoda]

skin = green
overseers = also green
don't ask, didn't care 😎

[eager cloak]

Scarf: PURP

[olive magnet]

you draw perdy

[silver heron]

[hardy pagoda]

it comes as a fluid, an acid (the acid in rw is microbial, after all), and the scrags gotta carry it around in these big, unwieldy tanks with sprayer hoses

[silver heron]

everyone talks about the big purpoused organisms

[silver heron]

give them flamethrowers full of alchohol wipe juice

[eager cloak]

What about a small thing, like a colony of ants, that builds things microbotics style

[eager cloak]

Not quite microscopic/bacterial

[hardy pagoda]

coalescapiedes

[eager cloak]

Wait, go back

[hardy pagoda]

?

[silver heron]

so bugs that build oil refineries

[eager cloak]

Lesbian approved

[olive magnet]

omg it do kinda look like it

[eager cloak]

When are we giving her a girlfriend /j

[silver heron]

WOAF is american confirmed

[olive magnet]

[eager cloak]

Ah yes, the lesbian country of America

[olive magnet]

another iterator finds oil and she goes apeshit over it

[silver heron]

listen its the land of the free here women can love women and nobody will bat an eye

except some

[eager cloak]

United states of wlw 🫡

[eager cloak]

Now that’s American

[silver heron]

as an american its not the only oil we enjoy

pure grease

[eager cloak]

Our state fairs would agree

[olive magnet]

mm bacon grease

[eager cloak]

What can’t you deep fry?

[olive magnet]

we save excess bacon grease in out house and cook eggs n shit with it

our

[hardy pagoda]

makin me want something that has been unnecessarily deep fried...

[olive magnet]

OUR

[eager cloak]

Now I’m cravin funnel cake

[olive magnet]

stick of butter.............

[silver heron]

you can deep fry anything with a big enough fryer and enough bread

like

LIETERALLY anything

[hardy pagoda]

with strawberry glaze?

[silver heron]

i like powered funnel cake

[olive magnet]

there has been a way to deep fry water i think

[silver heron]

anyway i like the idea of superpollenators which are repurpoused batflys

[eager cloak]

Why isn’t there an appropriate gourmand emote for this

[hardy pagoda]

[eager cloak]

Not good enough

[olive magnet]

those little orbs that are made of seaweed stuff or smth? pop when bitten? thats been deep fried before

[silver heron]

deep fried optimus prime minifigure

[eager cloak]

Maybe you should write somethin about it

[olive magnet]

deep fry scags in acid water

[silver heron]

NAUGH!

NOOO!!

NAAAAH!

[olive magnet]

[hardy pagoda]

slugcats go to the iterator fair, Moon is selling funnel cake

[eager cloak]

Ah my reply didn’t go through. My last message was for this

[eager cloak]

Sounds like another cy classic

[silver heron]

what is pebbles doing

[olive magnet]

deep fried oreo

[eager cloak]

Deep fried batflies on a stick

[silver heron]

we all know what happend last time we ate a bat

[hardy pagoda]

NSH has set up some patently unfair games designed to fleece you out of five bucks

[eager cloak]

Batnip garnish

[silver heron]

pebbles has a inflateable playhouse

bouncy house

[hardy pagoda]

pebbles? he didn't want to go to the fair. he's only there because he got locked out of the house and moon has the only housekey

[olive magnet]

pebbles runs a room of funhouse mirrors

[hardy pagoda]

and moon keeps 'losing' the key

[silver heron]

sevne red suns is uhh

hes the guy with the inflateable playhouse

[olive magnet]

they

[silver heron]

ah

[hardy pagoda]

fortune teller, but really bad at it

[silver heron]

i dont know any iterator but pebbles and moon's gender

overseers look like zelda enemies

[eager cloak]

UI?

[eager cloak]

The only official ones are NSH/he suns/they

No one else has a stated gender to my knowledge

Oh and sliver she

And moon and pebbs obviously

[olive magnet]

imma finish my thing fer here tomorrow after my friends drop me off from birthday stuff

[silver heron]

i thought pebbles was a dude

[hardy pagoda]

running the Ferris wheel

[eager cloak]

It’s almost your bday in my time zone

[hardy pagoda]

aside from pebbles and moon

who are a he and she, respectively

[olive magnet]

in about an hour twenty minutes, it'll be midnight here

[silver heron]

(i mean its pretty obvious moon is a she)

[silver heron]

in 15 minutes

[hardy pagoda]

[silver heron]

they literally call er

'big sis moon'

[hardy pagoda]

true...

[silver heron]

that one meme of pebbles sticking a straw out of their can and drinking the whole ocean but instead its WOAF drinking oil

[olive magnet]

yes

[silver heron]

NUMBER ONE VICTORY ROYAL CHUG JUG PART BUT ITS PUT OVER PEBBLES DRINKIGN THE OCEAN

DAME DAMEYOU

i know its the worng song

[olive magnet]

baka mitai

[silver heron]

loud warning

OH WAIT

IT IS FRIDAY

LOL

[olive magnet]

i hated that minigame

[magic crest]

I mean, it doesn’t have to be his…

[eager cloak]

Green machine

[tepid jackal]

should i edit the rules in that case?

if i understood them correctly, they want their own iterator ocs to interact with woaf at some point right?
should i just put a note that any collabs with the character are fine as well?

[magic crest]

Can someone explain this to me?

I want a rundown on what this is.

[tepid jackal]

right now its a project were we all write about the same character, that being weight of a feather. we got some key elements to follow but the rest we can make up as we write. i personallly thought everyone would write a different story and with the same promt which is still on the table of course, but cy also had quite the intereting idea to make it a large collective were everyone can add stuff from time to time.
i think both work tbh, it would also be intereting to see multiple interpretations.
someone also wanted to make one of their ocs (i think) interact with woaf which is fine sicne its woaf related so the rules are a little loose right now
overall i woudl say, little project were everyone can add sth to it as long as its related in some sort of way and then we can see where it will go from there

[magic crest]

What’s Feather like?

[tepid jackal]

we should probably pin sth with her pesonality sometimes

ehhh

but for now the key elements are that shes a first generation iterator, she uses she/her prounons, is rather on the quiet side but can be pretty rude in her head and her desing is pinned.
its kinda open so writers can give her qualities that they deem fitting for their story

[magic crest]

Last part sounds like Horizons. Do I see a Horizons and Feathers ship?

[tepid jackal]

if thats what you want to do, do it!!!

[hardy pagoda]

If you dare…

[magic crest]

Unfortunately, I am AroAce, and that’s pretty far outside my area of expertise.

I may try, though…

[hardy pagoda]

Prolly just the note is fine

[tepid jackal]

i think this little project is great for trying out new things, so you can test yourself as a writer, its fun

[tepid jackal]

will do that, i will just edit it and say that everything woaf related will also work

also should i just make you a maintainer of the collection? in that case you can edit the rules as well when im not around

[hardy pagoda]

If you want!

[tepid jackal]

gimmi a sec

did it work?

[hardy pagoda]

Yes

I am now able to manage the collection

[tepid jackal]

perfect

okay, back to work, i wanna finish the inception log before work so when i come back i can get back to bs hell for now.
so much to do

[hardy pagoda]

I should probably go to bed! Busy day tomorrow, and it’s already quite late here.

[tepid jackal]

gn

[tepid jackal]

First chapter for the project is out
Now its time for work

[harsh iris]

hello

I have some questions:
Apart from the provided background information, is there some kind of continuity to conform to?

And how the story progresses and ends is entirely up to each author?

[viscid pagoda]

I think you can just come up with creatures and write logs and such

[viscid pagoda]

That I don't know

[neon heath]

So, what is this thing?

[viscid pagoda]

It's like a group project where everyone has to write stuff for a certain iterator

[neon heath]

Interesting, where I can I read up on the project?

[harsh iris]

#1265756596429131858 message

Hmm I think I understand the premise and direction, but there's no specifics for how it should end, right?

[viscid pagoda]

I think some of this stuff is explained in the rules in that collection

[magic crest]

Alright. Just a slight problem. This takes place pretty long before Gen 3 was even thought of.

Horizons is one step ahead.

Which would mean that it should be pretty far into the future.

Karessra, it's archived, not achieved.

Well, Cy - "progress demands sacrifice" - sounds a bit familiar, doesn't it?

"Paradise requires sacrifice."

[lyric cobalt]

Must ask, what's this for?

Curiosity led me here

[magic crest]

Just a random collaborative effort on a single story.

[lyric cobalt]

I see, what's the story about?

[magic crest]

We don't have even a frame.

The writers - us - just add when we feel like contributing.

[lyric cobalt]

I see, can I make one then?

It is intriguing to get here

Don't have the context but can write about anything?

[harsh iris]

Check pin! There are guidelines/background on the collection page

[lyric cobalt]

Where pin?

Or how?

Nvm, I found it

I'm just drained after the College Enrollment Fiasco

So we making about Iterator logs?

[harsh iris]

I'm not sure. Im waiting for clarification too

[lyric cobalt]

Oh boy, this'll be three fics

And I can handle that quite fair

[lyric cobalt]

So we making WoaF about bioengineering stuff?

And make their scug to grab stuff?

[harsh iris]

Not necessarily scug i think

[lyric cobalt]

no scugs?

[harsh iris]

The prompt is WoaF making some kind of purposed organism for a 'collecting' job, so anything goes

probably

[lyric cobalt]

Alrighty

Gonna think for it

[harsh iris]

I think I got an idea brewing, but I want to be sure on the specifics first

[magic crest]

I have made something.

[olive magnet]

im the thread's first ortist

[olive magnet]

aint been pinned yet but i drawed her design

[harsh iris]

Saw the design! that feather ornament is a nice touch

[olive magnet]

drawin ittys is fun

[magic crest]

||EH: Indeed it is, Gardens.

EH: I may poke in, should my ideas have merit.

WoaF: Interesting...

WoaF: You're new, right?

EH: Correct, Feathers.

EH: I was born a mere 44 cycles ago.||

Little sneak-peak.

[lyric cobalt]

So if I can ask, can I put some random itty talking to WoaF?

[magic crest]

I think you can put even your own OCs.

[lyric cobalt]

[magic crest]

Epochs.

[magic crest]

Do you approve?

[harsh iris]

Hmm I assume you meant the flow? (Since I don't know much of the detail yet, or if the prompt has any guideline on formats/etc)
I think it's fine? Very short right now tho

[magic crest]

No, I mean, do you think it works?

[harsh iris]

What do you mean by 'works'?
||The interaction? I dont know the context of 'Gardens' here, but it seems natural enough?||

||Otherwise, I'd say Hori acts kinda blunt considering Feather is her senior, if you intended so then she stating that she'd give some feedback there is fine? But otherwise she should use something more polite than 'poke in' i guess? Also I think you don't need 'a' before mere 44 cycles there? (dont ask me about grammar ) ||

[magic crest]

More.

I have the entire thing laid out.

About 900 words.

Do you approve?

[magic crest]

That last part, I believe, I am right.

||But Hori is very blunt sometimes.||

[lyric cobalt]

Is this how to start log?

[magic crest]

This is the canon way.

This is how I do it.

[lyric cobalt]

I see

[magic crest]

I think everyone has a different way of doing things.

[lyric cobalt]

This is the first time actually

[harsh iris]

Is DM ok? I think me giving feedback might be slightly derailing of the thread considering it's not ours

[magic crest]

Go ahead.

It's about the project, though, I doubt it.

However, just in case...

[harsh iris]

I think in this case, the prompt requires a specific format? From 'iterator logs' series i think

Again, maybe let someone who knows me confirm this, Im also waiting for some clarification too

[lyric cobalt]

[olive magnet]

yea thats the gist. like the iterator logs series.

[lyric cobalt]

Now time to make my boi mad

[eager cloak]

I feel like we need a google doc with a breakdown of all rules and stuff in greater clarity

I do think this project feels a little confusing rn >>

You can stick reference art and summaries of already-designed purp orgs in there too in case others want to use them

[lyric cobalt]

Gonna stick with dialogues, maybe only 500 or 1k words probably

Oneshot

[olive magnet]

its funny how we just started this project and now we have two memes for it: woof and oil drinker

[silver heron]

its up to yall, i have some minor influence

i mean i did make the idea

[silver heron]

looks great

[lyric cobalt]

If I may ask, can I write random stuffs? (Such as they trying to converse with my oc and such?)

[silver heron]

go ahead!

[lyric cobalt]

[silver heron]

im excited to see new iterators added to the mix

@tepid jackal read through your addition, lloosk great

[lyric cobalt]

Now, I'm done making the oneshot (and somehow I did it despite having a chapter and an oneshot in progress )

how can I post it?

[silver heron]

jsut send the link in here

amany can add it to the logs i beleive

[lyric cobalt]

I typed it in docs

Should I send the google docs link?

[harsh iris]

that's quick...
I also am writing one but only just finished the inception log honestly not a big fan of this part but eh, new experiences are worth trying

[lyric cobalt]

It's only 500 words (curse you, self ) and also just a lil dialogue

[harsh iris]

I only managed 275 so far

[lyric cobalt]

[olive magnet]

im gonna post my thing now

[lyric cobalt]

Mine posted now

Aw man, never thought made a oneshot in just measly few hours

(And forgoing about my chapter, I have forsake myself)

[silver heron]

so much to read

especially in the middle of an expedition

[olive magnet]

i writed

i can do another later

maybe

[silver heron]

read it

looks great

[olive magnet]

this is fun already

any left or is everythign understood, i could try to explain if any problems are still up in the air

[onyx mortar]

Ouuygh woaf. I cannot write but I like 2 draw. Here is what is happening: she is attempting to reverse-engineer herself with the modified centipede (which resembles those weird worm things inside iterators) and the mouse is just.... A mouse.... It's only purpose is to weave

Bye stories slugs

[silver heron]

its canon now, waof runs the rug store thats terrorized by a certain daszombes

[tepid jackal]

looks awesom, and the idea is great!!!

[onyx mortar]

Thanks slugs

[tepid jackal]

maybe if you cant write, someone else will pick it up? that would be cool

tho its never to later for a first time

[silver heron]

IDEA

modified noodlefly that works like a silk moth

[onyx mortar]

I just don't like writing tbh but I do ponder frequently

[eager cloak]

GOOD ART

[onyx mortar]

Hrrm perhaps she is the one who made many of the early purposed organisms and the creatures in game are just feral descendants of her creations... . . What would the original forms look like? Who knows

[silver heron]

join me in fueling the flames with ideas

[viscid pagoda]

Trying to answer, mostly

[tepid jackal]

yeah, i mostly just skimmed through the messages, i was not reading most of them

[viscid pagoda]

All good

[neon heath]

Thank you. I was wondering if I could/should write something for this, I'll have to read up on stuff

[tepid jackal]

you definitely can!!!
the more the better

[olive magnet]

[hardy pagoda]

I did! it was tasty

[olive magnet]

TENOR FAIL

[harsh iris]

[silver heron]

why is this log made of woaf

[olive magnet]

someone draw her face on a minecraft wood log

[silver heron]

@eager cloak

[tepid jackal]

"...i think"

@full flower is that the right ping?

if yes, then this is the thread for the woaf project, if not you can just ignore it and sry for the random ping

[full flower]

Halloo, and ty for the ping!!!

you got the right person dw

[tepid jackal]

perfect

do you want to know anything specifically?

i will try to answer all your questions

[full flower]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm not suree

maybe uhh how old is WOaF?

i dunno im sorry im not good with coming up with questions ;v;

[tepid jackal]

shes a first generation iterator, you can do with that what you like

[tepid jackal]

no problems, if you come up with sth later i can still answere then!!!

[full flower]

okay tyyyy!

Um maybe how many cycles is it in the current time of her present ig? I might write about an iterator talking about her and i feel like theyd record that and what she has done as of current

[tepid jackal]

i dont think we really have that tbh

i just copy pasted the cycle time from iterator logs to be fair

you could do that or just do it whenever, its supposed to be open so anyone can do with her what they want with just a few elements to follow

[full flower]

ah okok ty

[full flower]

me when i cant decide the name of my iterator for the story

[lyric cobalt]

use the power of coffee

[full flower]

I dont drink coffee nor do I know or have the tools to brew it

sorry to dissapoint Stray Anton CoffeeLover29

[lyric cobalt]

worry not, for I'm just suggesting

Coffee somehow overtake the writing

[full flower]

Ah dam xD

[magic crest]

Sorry for pinging you, @tepid jackal - but I need help from my alleged twin.

[tepid jackal]

[viscid pagoda]

[full flower]

Oooo ima go read it!

[magic crest]

How was it?

Guess I’ll never know!

[full flower]

Sorry got a lil held up needed to do something before I could read

[full flower]

It was pretty neato!!! ||I like how EH just showed up mysteriously without explaining how they ever did that and just snapped their fingers and boom carnivore scav XD||

[tepid jackal]

farmer woaf is real and im neglecting bs hell just to draw her
anyway, i hate drawing with mouse and my drawing pad was supposed to arive on the 10th of this month and has yet to arive due to delays so rip me ig

also @olive magnet !!!!
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE HER ANTENNAE SO COMPLECATED

[olive magnet]

i could have done more complex antennae

[tepid jackal]

that thing took like an hour and 40 minutes were spent on the antennae alone

[eager cloak]

Looks good though

Effort paid off

I can’t wait for you to get your tablet you will be ~unleashed~

[tepid jackal]

you cant even see the sprials

[tepid jackal]

tbh, i will probably just draw some really stupid crab, but hey

[olive magnet]

i vaguely based them on smth like this bc i was asked to do horns

[eager cloak]

I love crab?? Excellent 🦀

[tepid jackal]

i hate the enlish language soooo much

[olive magnet]

fr

[tepid jackal]

why cant i type

[eager cloak]

it’s ok it’s my first language and I still can’t type

[tepid jackal]

tbh, the hat just made it a 1000% worse

[olive magnet]

i think i made them a super light color in one layer and just turned the opacity down some afterwards before i merged the layers

[high spear]

so....if i wanted to get in on writing for this where would i start?

[olive magnet]

do whatever :)

none of the posts are technically connected to each other story-wise (although they could be if ya felt like it)

its just a buncha nerds here giving our own interpretations on a silly lil prompt an ideas

#1265756596429131858 message here's the rules tho if you wanna peep em

[tepid jackal]

but you can easily bypass these rules tbh
we already have stories where woaf isnt even the main focus and only present so the rules themselves, while probably encouraged, are not sth to follow 100%
also welcome to the woafs, they are very neat

[high spear]

i think i understand

[tepid jackal]

now i must ask
if you were to write a woaf, do you already know what you woudl want to do

happy woaf, angsty woaf, woaf that does drugs, woaf that ships calloutpost a bit too much, woaf that kills all the ancients with her purposed beings whose only job is to collect bombs?
there are so many possibilities

[olive magnet]

i have plans indeed

but for much later installments

[tepid jackal]

perfect

woaf world domination will soon begin

[harsh iris]

I've now posted my piece

[olive magnet]

secret ending: ||woaf loaf||
