Weight Of A Feather

[storm rampart]

I think I'll write something lighthearted

[neon heath]

Neat!

[eager cloak]

woof is attracting new people to stories!!

Or at least, people I haven’t seen around before… 👀

[hardy pagoda]

WOAF is so popular

[junior geyser]

Fr

The recruitment drive is going swimmingly

Stories discussion pipeline

[hardy pagoda]

People who draw WOAF should post their pretty artworks in the OC gallery. Mainly because all the WOAF art is so nice, but also because it will get more people asking ‘who is WOAF?’

[high spear]

not yet

i just want to get a feel foreverything

woaf that wingmans for calloutpost

/hj

[silver heron]

im back from DND session zero

what happend while i was gone

[junior geyser]

Extending the recruitment pipeline I see

Wise

[tepid jackal]

was a idea i had to write sth calloutpost related, but i watn the first fic i write about that to be angsty

[high spear]

ive always wanted to play dnd

im trying to workshop something with friends but idk if itll end up happening or not

[silver heron]

its hard to find people to play

[hardy pagoda]

I keep saying that I should run a RW themed campaign for anyone in this server who would be interested…
But that’s one of those things that’s nice to talk about but will probably never materialize.

[high spear]

YES

thats what im working on with my friends rn but i wouldnt say no to being a player🥺🥺🥺

[echo hazel]

i’ve been lurking around since i joined but have y’all checked out this tag 👀 https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Weight of a Feather (Rain World)

[high spear]

yooo

[tepid jackal]

wait huh??? does that mean we can use that as an official tag now

[echo hazel]

yeah i think so!!!!!! at least that’s how canonical tags work

i think it’s for the event rather than the OC WOAF but still!!! so cool

[tepid jackal]

neat!

[echo hazel]

if we tag WOAF as a character enough we can gaslight ao3 into making her official

(for legal reasons this is a joke. i love you ao3)

[tepid jackal]

dont we all love ao3
its great

(excluding the tagging system, omg, please make it easier to tag works, pleaseeeee)

[echo hazel]

what’s wrong with the tagging system???

[hardy pagoda]

it's pretty clunky for misc tags

[echo hazel]

ah yeah it can be

because those aren’t fandom specific

i personally haven’t had a bad experience with it

[hardy pagoda]

my biggest gripe is when I'm trying to tag something non-specific and it keeps autocorrecting to something fandom specific. It's a little thing, but it's bothered me a couple times.

[tepid jackal]

for me the main problem is the fact that i have to delete all tags if i want to change their order

[tepid jackal]

and that, that also can be so annyoing

[high spear]

can we just treat her like shes real and in the game

someone edits a bunch of broadcasts and is like lmaoooo remember when woaf did this and someone else is like "who the fuck is that"

but theyre a fake fan...they wouldnt get it

[junior geyser]

gaslight #vanilla-lore

"Woaf was always real? You don't remember?"

[olive magnet]

put her name in the random pool of quotes for blank pearls

@eager cloak have you put woaf's face on a minecraft log yet

[eager cloak]

I don’t play Minecraft idk what that is, I’m assuming just a log…?

[eager cloak]

I don’t understand what’s happening, but I suppose I must do my duty… later

[olive magnet]

you have been assigned the highest honor: drawing a meme

good luck brave soldier

[eager cloak]

Well I finished my chapter soooo I have time for silliness :3

Got some stuff to do for now though

[echo hazel]

mostly because non specific things aren’t being canonized at the moment

[echo hazel]

there’s a script to fix that :3

[echo hazel]

yeah u can!!!! and she would probably be canonized on ao3

gaslighting works (i saw a friend’s oc get canonized)

[eager cloak]

Wonder how many works it would take to do that lol

[hardy pagoda]

I mean... I checked the 'canonical' WOAF tag

and it's only used in two works, mine and Karessra's

[echo hazel]

3 works by 3 different people for the OC tag, but events are canonized on first use

[olive magnet]

what if i post later

[eager cloak]

Then I would read it

[olive magnet]

[magic crest]

People.

I am sad to say that my WoaF fic is not doing numbers.

[high spear]

ao3 in general has been going slowly

and oc fics tend to get less traction sadly

ill go and give it some love for you though!!

[lyric cobalt]

The numbers were slow

[eager cloak]

All of ao3 is slow rn confirmed

HFISH isn’t doing much either this chapter, so far. Nbd

[lyric cobalt]

looking at my nonrw oneshot which only got measly few

[tepid jackal]

man, i was just planning to play a little aroudn with the krita brushes

when i stumbled over the most pretties of them all

and i was just playing around with it a little and drew a pink splotch

but suddenly...

BOOM

i had a woaf

that one is very experimantal, but the brush was just so pretty and i couldnt stop

[eager cloak]

Fuzzy!!!

Very pretty

Arts & crafts woof

[tepid jackal]

i love these kind of brushes

they are so fun to use

[high spear]

im in your corner waving a big foam finger rn

[olive magnet]

im posting tomorrow

[full flower]

noice

[viscid pagoda]

Why does it look kinda... scrunkly?

[tepid jackal]

scrunkly

[viscid pagoda]

Little, adorable

[tepid jackal]

pffff, okay

[viscid pagoda]

Maybe it's the lack of visible arms, or the head being ever so slightly lower relative to the body than expected, I dunno

[lyric cobalt]

Skrunkly lil loaf

[tepid jackal]

you wont catch me drawing arms if i don't have to, i hate doing that

[magic crest]

I will.

Calloutpost ||handholding||.

[tepid jackal]

ughhh, nooo, i have to draw that at some point, but for that i will have to draw hands

[viscid pagoda]

Draw le stick

[lyric cobalt]

Draw the thing

[tepid jackal]

then tell my delivery service to pick up the pace and stop delaying

[viscid pagoda]

How many days has it been?

[tepid jackal]

it was supposed to arive at the 10th...

[viscid pagoda]

Jeez

[tepid jackal]

then i got a message a weak later telling me that for some puroses its been delayed

and now i still have no date

[lyric cobalt]

||wants to draw hold handing but can't draw hands ||

[harsh iris]

||Use your own hand as model ||

[lyric cobalt]

||I can't draw shit ||

[harsh iris]

||I thought I can't either, but we gotta try!||

[lyric cobalt]

||and also it's a sin to my eye ||

[olive magnet]

hehe my words are brewing

huh

so should i soft shade for the woaf image or cel shade

[hardy pagoda]

Soft shade, I think

[eager cloak]

+1

[olive magnet]

yaaaay

i hate cel shading

[olive magnet]

there shall be a delay

i was brushing my teeth and my toothbrush stabbed the exposed nerve area (broken tooth ) and now it hurt

[tepid jackal]

the toothbrush is a woaf hater confirmed

[olive magnet]

like i jabbed exposed nerve and started bleeding (im ok now )

[olive magnet]

i posted

mm maybe this is just what i needed to be motivated- a little tiny writing thing to do on occasion

[tepid jackal]

i will read it tomorrow!!! now i just have to finish editing and then go to bed cause its late and i have work

[olive magnet]

ough

[hardy pagoda]

this chap was good, by the way! y'all should read it.

[olive magnet]

if i rember later, ill post again

[hardy pagoda]

In the most recent chapter ||Does WOAF feel guilty about the purposed workers dying, and she’s kind of rationalizing it to herself as ‘it seems like a waste of resources’ or am I reading into it too much?||

[olive magnet]

you'll see

[magic crest]

It really is not doing numbers. 22 hits is very pitiful.

[hardy pagoda]

WOAF is a niche within a niche within a niche. Having read it, I can tell you that the lack of reads is not due to a lack of quality… there just aren’t a lot of people who will take the plunge on something like this, sadly.

[olive magnet]

all we can do is keep plugging our works and the thread in stories library

its fun at least so i could care less about numbers tbh

once i do carte blanche ch4, i can mention the woaf thing too :)

[eager cloak]

This is definitely more for us than for ao3

Want numbers? Write a pebbles or nsh fic

[olive magnet]

naur

[hardy pagoda]

I wasn’t gonna just say it, but… the only one shot I’ve done with pebbles as character is fully twice as popular as any of my other one-shots

[eager cloak]

RW fandom be like that

[olive magnet]

maybe ill do an experiment later with a few little one shots

[lyric cobalt]

How can I achieve the power from the small pink itty?

[eager cloak]

Just write him sad

RW fandom: baby pebbl boy noooo :’(

slams kudos button

[lyric cobalt]

Alright, gonna write

Damn, sadness got hands

[hardy pagoda]

Literally just put him in it. The Five Pebbles tag will attract readers… but if you really want to get the show going, I’d also recommend the tags “Looks To The Moon”, “Looks To The Moon & Five Pebbles”, “Angst”, and of course, “Fix-It”

[lyric cobalt]

[eager cloak]

Pebbles, NSH, Suns, Moon > other canon charas > OCs (as far as numbers go)

[lyric cobalt]

I can't, I don't have the power of angst

[eager cloak]

Quick hack just tag em

[hardy pagoda]

Actually… I’m pretty sure it goes pebbs, Moon, Arti > other iterators > everyone else > OCs

People really like Arti

[lyric cobalt]

putting more trauma in the already traumatized scug

[olive magnet]

i think carte blanche is doin good numbers fer what it is

[eager cloak]

People love sig though

[hardy pagoda]

Sig is the lovable sidekick who gets killed off in the third act- he doesn’t exactly have that ‘main character’ draw me, putting my hands over the very, very, popular fics with sig as a main character, so as to make my point seem stronger

[hardy pagoda]

It is! Because it’s good and it’s got a strong hook.

[olive magnet]

ill singlehandedly bring woaf to everyone's mailbox

[hardy pagoda]

If enough people make WOAF fics, sooner or later people will start to wonder, ‘who the heck is this character that all these authors keep writing about? Did I miss something in canon?’

[olive magnet]

we invent canon

[lyric cobalt]

[olive magnet]

us here in stories adjacent

[lyric cobalt]

Must put more WOAF fics and confuse the players

[hardy pagoda]

We’ve already got like… nine or ten fics, which is a crazy amount for how long the project’s been going!

[lyric cobalt]

And somehow the woaf fics are rather short so its a fast producing fic

[olive magnet]

heheheheheehehehehehehe

there we go

[hardy pagoda]

[olive magnet]

i should go make the woaf image now

[lyric cobalt]

[hardy pagoda]

You should post the WOAF art you’ve done to the OC gallery here… gotta get more eyes on the project. (Also it’s good art that more people should see!)

[magic crest]

Sometimes, I can’t help but think he’s masking problems and a deeper identity.

I don’t know if some of said fics have influenced my thoughts on him, but I love the idea of a Sig who is essentially omniscient.

[hardy pagoda]

Masking problems? Absolutely. A deeper identity? Who knows… not canon, that’s for sure.

[magic crest]

Erratic Pulse? Cracked the code before anyone did.

His own survival? Thought about that, long in advance.

He knows so much, but will only play the fool to protect himself.

Headcanon territory? Absolutely.

[hardy pagoda]

I’ve never been a big fan of that kind of ‘hidden genius who sees the whole game for what it is’ characters… as protagonists.

[magic crest]

But the green overseer that can sometimes be seen in Subterranean points at it.

Points. It also points at a lot of other things, most of which has probably nothing to do with my theory.

[hardy pagoda]

Anyone who is portrayed as having ‘it all figured out’ instantly strikes me as arrogant and in dire need of comeuppance.

[magic crest]

One such theory is that Pebbs’ and Moon’s overseer just crossed genes or something.

Bam, green overseer.

It’s not my favorite theory, for… obvious reasons.

[hardy pagoda]

I mean, I think the green overseer is sig’s, yeah, especially since it spawns most commonly in Hunter’s campaign.

[magic crest]

This is why I follow Frontier’s story - we’ve seen his rise, I await his fall.

He thinks “I’ve got it all figured out”.

And I can’t help but think, “how will it all crumble?”

[hardy pagoda]

Which fic is that again?

[magic crest]

Iterator Logs.

That’s the original.

[hardy pagoda]

Ah, still haven’t watched it.

[magic crest]

There’s another fic I follow that does have him, but their Frontier has deviated from the source material.

[magic crest]

It’s good, although I think the first Iterators would be given a warmer “welcome” than he was.

[hardy pagoda]

Fanfiction of fanfiction… like a clone of a clone, there’s bound to be some ‘decay’

[magic crest]

Technically, mine is fanfiction cubed.

Yet again, deviated from the source material. No Frontier.

[hardy pagoda]

Well, steal the ideas that you like the best and make them your own, that’s my approach.

[magic crest]

Good musicians are inspired. Great musicians ‘steal’.

Some of the best modern music I’ve heard are remixes.

I like Nothing But Thieves’ version of “What Can I Do If The Fire Goes Out” better than the original.

Die Mittsommernacht Fantasie is a remix of Ein Sommernachtstraum.

[silver heron]

Not every story has a good ending, its somewhat what I expect.

Unless an iterator makes some kind of mega vortex bomb, theyre doomed

[storm rampart]

I posted my contribution to Woof

[eager cloak]

MORE WOOF

here I go—

[eager cloak]

pssst put it in #stories-library★ !!

[storm rampart]

uh, how do I do that?

[olive magnet]

you link where you posted it- like if you posted to ao3, you send the link in that channel

some people just send google docs sometimes as well i think

[storm rampart]

Alright

[olive magnet]

fuck i forgord the antler beads

im not going back to draw em

yall get NO BEADS

[junior geyser]

no beads

[uncut hazel]

ohj thats what thuis is

[olive magnet]

here i go again

[hardy pagoda]

I really like the little shoulder-cape thing

[olive magnet]

i add it to waaaaay too many ocs

[junior geyser]

We respect the shoulder cape

[olive magnet]

its just an easy accessory

if you dunno what to put- put that

[hardy pagoda]

I got an artist friend who does the same with the high collar… which I note you also gave WOAF

[olive magnet]

[harsh iris]

It does make the wearer look more composed/regal too imo

[hardy pagoda]

Regal, without being ostentatious… it’s a good accessory.

[olive magnet]

me when secluded instinct

shoulder cape is a default

[hardy pagoda]

SI’s skirt pattern reminds me of a 90’s bowling alley (compliment)

[olive magnet]

[uncut hazel]

ok so whats going on here

[hardy pagoda]

WOAF is a community project shared between numerous different authors of RW fanfiction that more or less rotates around the Iterator ‘Weight Of A Feather’

Weight of a Feather is a gen 1, quiet yet sometimes rude, Iterator who has been made with the goal of purposing ‘resource collection organisms’. She uses she/her pronouns.

[olive magnet]

#1265756596429131858 message the art

[hardy pagoda]

That’s about as far as the guidelines go!
If you’d like to contribute, you are more than welcome to write something up and attach it to the AO3 collection.

It’s sort of traditional to do the WOAF fic in a log format and start with her waking up… but I didn’t do that, and you don’t have to if you don’t want to either

You don’t even have to write it from WOAF’s perspective… though she should be involved with the fic at least somewhat, obviously.

[olive magnet]

progress

[harsh iris]

Regality intensifies

[jolly solstice]

¤How about adding purposed organisms with wings?¤

[olive magnet]

omg look at how perdy her eyes are

i sleeb now

[hardy pagoda]

Gn

[lyric cobalt]

[lyric cobalt]

The creation of vultures

[high spear]

i have a crack idea in my head that unparalleled innocence tried to create miros lizards and im wondering if they would enlist woafs help....it would give me an excuse to write both🥹

[hardy pagoda]

UI works with WOAF to make a nightmare lizard... and while they do WOAF gives UI some advice on how to catch the attention of a certain recalcitrant fellow whose name rhymes with "Jive Grebbles"

[high spear]

omg so true

woaf: so why do you want to create these abominations
ui:
ui: so there's this boy,

[hardy pagoda]

okay I said it as a joke but I want to read this now

[high spear]

i dont think nightmare scissor lizards would impress five pebbles, ui just like to create monstrosities but it would be funny if i hinted at it. calloutpost if you squint

the oneshot will be called "crimes against nature" because that is what these things are

[hardy pagoda]

also an excellent title for a calloutpost fic, just sayin

[high spear]

LMAO

[tepid jackal]

Nooooo, i missed the Calloutpost talk

[high spear]

who let her cook😭

[tepid jackal]

UI my beloved

[magic crest]

Shoulder cape things are the best thing to give an Iterator.

[magic crest]

I eagerly await the release.

[olive magnet]

ok what should the background be

ive finished the woaf part of this image

[eager cloak]

Mural of various purposed organisms? (Maybe too complicated haha)

They could be very stylized/simple though

[magic crest]

I like that.

[olive magnet]

do yall think the pipeyard art might fit her somehow? or maybe garbage wastes somehow? (i am LAZY now)

[eager cloak]

Uhhh show

[eager cloak]

Hmm… not sure

What you think woof pack

[lyric cobalt]

Wait up, Im experiencing slow internet

In my opinion, Pipeyard

[olive magnet]

now its time to see if saving it as a png or jpg file is better

jpg left, png right

[harsh iris]

hmm I'd say blur the background even more? it's still a little distracting

also png is always better i think, less artifacts

[olive magnet]

its a 500 x 500 image, so i think it'll compress decently into 100 by 100 for the ao3 collection

[uncut hazel]

yeah i think UI is not exactly innocent

[uncut hazel]

ough those jpg artifacts

[olive magnet]

half of the time, my larger png images were in worse condition than my jpg images

so i used jpg mostly

also bc my kra files are so chunky

[uncut hazel]

i dont ever use kra because it doesnt embed

[full flower]

i do like the blur on the jpeg but png is deffinetely still better

also finally started writing

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lO6PdE9VbQ9oI2UvQG_6TTTqxo6UOmsghb4wem3-7Ew/edit?usp=sharing

i got a lil intro

[olive magnet]

i save as .kra and then save as .jpg or .png afterwards

[uncut hazel]

i save as both or just png

[olive magnet]

usually if i only save as .jpg or .png without saving as .kra too, it merges all the layers and then i cant edit it later

[olive magnet]

im gonna post a woaf entry later

[high spear]

it's totally a misnomer

[tepid jackal]

can i use that as the cover for the collection?

[olive magnet]

that was the intent

[tepid jackal]

uhhhh

perfect

gimmi a sec

damn it

i dotn even know how one would fix that

[olive magnet]

lemme see if i can compress it

im reading abt lossy compression in the krita handbook

[eager cloak]

Resize it to 100x100 if you haven’t

Or else ao3 will blur the heck out of it

[olive magnet]

resized to 100 by 100

[eager cloak]

100x100 is leetle

[olive magnet]

so little

lemme try something rq

nvm

widdle image

there you go @tepid jackal

[viscid pagoda]

The pattern is barely noticeable

[tepid jackal]

it worked!!!

[olive magnet]

a noble sacrifice

if this is still going by december, ill put a christmas hat on her

[tepid jackal]

i will take my sweet time finishing my story so get ready to draw that hat

[olive magnet]

[full flower]

something sounds not right dunno what

[hardy pagoda]

are you asking for input?

[full flower]

Yea, i mean u don'thave to, but id like some

[hardy pagoda]

you might be overdoing it with the dashes and exclamation marks. Some are fine, as it is a spoken log, but it seems like a lot.
you might also break these two paragraphs into four paragraphs and see if they look better that way?

[full flower]

Ah okay thank you!

[hardy pagoda]

[olive magnet]

sits here with the lttm and fp wiki pages open to write my woaf entry

[olive magnet]

after this one, im giving her a friend :)

[olive magnet]

does gilded ruby embers sound like a pretty name?

[olive magnet]

nvm the fourth entry will have the friend

[tepid jackal]

sounds okay, tho i think you could use another one, personal prefrence for me tho since i think the name sounds a little bit 'not smooth'? not sure how to say it but it doesnt sound nice to say for me at least

[tepid jackal]

im still debating if i should give her a girlfriend

[olive magnet]

grillfriend 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[olive magnet]

i post soon :)

[hardy pagoda]

[olive magnet]

im taking so long on this whyyyyyyy

now im looking up a wikipedia page for a sliver of information on subterranean fauna

[hardy pagoda]

sliver?

[junior geyser]

is there perhaps an amount of straw related?

[olive magnet]

dont give me ideas for the future

hmmmmm

[junior geyser]

Sliver of straw seems a very farmer-esque name to me, just saying

[olive magnet]

sliver yeehaw confirmed?

[olive magnet]

neat

[olive magnet]

it seems this would be stygofauna, not troglofauna im writing bout

stygofauna stay in underground underwater caves and troglofauna live similarly, but above the water table

[tepid jackal]

someones doing her research, i dont even have the slightest idea what any of that means

[olive magnet]

i unno why im doing this much effort

this chap isnt the research chap

[tepid jackal]

effort is effort

plus you learn new things, so hey

[olive magnet]

troglo means cave-dwelling and stygo means dark, damp, and subterranean it seems

mm more research

like how people say troglobyte and think of cavemen or smth?

i think i hate dark mode wikipedia more than light mode

i did NOT know leeches were worms :0

[olive magnet]

only a small percentage of them are predators

most are hematophagous

blood-eaters

[hardy pagoda]

we getting leechfacts in woafchat?

[olive magnet]

soiler: im mentioning her finding some

so i looked up how underground animals live

then i looked up leeches because i thought they'd work fer this

now im reading abt leeches being used in medical settings

i def have some kind of attention disorder

[lyric cobalt]

Leechfacts?

[olive magnet]

now im looking up how hematophagy works for some reason

yo some bloodsuckers developed anesthesia

[hardy pagoda]

yeah, mosquitos use it

no wait

that's a different thing

they have an anti-clotting thing

but humans are allergic to it, which is why mosquito bites itch

[olive magnet]

mosquitoes only need blood for egg-production :)

[hardy pagoda]

yeah, and only the females bite

I dunno what the males do

just die, ig

[olive magnet]

there is a bloodsucking kind of moth it seems

[lyric cobalt]

It's a 50/50 chance

Either it already sucked the blood ran away and I squashed it or I squashed it on the spot

[lyric cobalt]

what

[olive magnet]

i am getting so distracted lmao

bats seem to cut the skin with their teeth and then suck at the wound or lick the blood up

[hardy pagoda]

I don't like to be vindictive to mosquitos... they are, after all, only doing what comes naturally and what they need to to survive as a species, but they spread some very nasty diseases, and being itchy on my feet sucks

[olive magnet]

mosquitos suck fr

[lyric cobalt]

My arms and legs were never the same

[hardy pagoda]

[lyric cobalt]

Deploying mosquito coils!

[olive magnet]

all the ones down here in yeehaw usa seem immune to all bug sprays

[hardy pagoda]

can confirm, central yeehaw is having the worst of it this time of year

[olive magnet]

so i dont go out unless necessary (i do not own pants and wear only shorts and tank tops)

[lyric cobalt]

Use asian mosquito coils and some good ol burning boxes

[olive magnet]

naur it too hot for outside fun

i water the pepper plants and thats it

[lyric cobalt]

The sun is indeed a deadly lazer

[hardy pagoda]

it's getting better, at least

for a few weeks there it was deadly outside

[olive magnet]

it gets so bright someone has to hold my hand for me to cross a road or parking lot (i am literally blinded by it being too bright)

[lyric cobalt]

Can't go out while using blackshirt

We're getting to congratulations fast

[olive magnet]

i wonder if i can boil an egg by leaving it in a metal bowl w water outside

[hardy pagoda]

don't even need to add water... set it out on the right day and it'll rain in the morning and cook in the afternoon

[lyric cobalt]

[olive magnet]

WOAF

woofin

[hardy pagoda]

woaf

[olive magnet]

still little compared to my preference but longer than the previous 2

posting my woaf entry in stories library got me gaius play jumpscared

[hardy pagoda]

nice, another step towards that

[olive magnet]

only 2 more levels

[hardy pagoda]

good WoaF! you left me very intrigued for what's gonna happen next...
I left more thoughts in an AO3 comment.

[olive magnet]

so quick

[hardy pagoda]

it wasn't a lot to read, not that I'm complaining! I think these 'audio logs' work best in short format.

[olive magnet]

a quick little snack :)

[hardy pagoda]

ye

leaves me wanting more... ||Is someone setting up WoaF to fail?||

[olive magnet]

i keep making things harder for myself

im pushing back her getting a friend so hard because i wanna write more things

[olive magnet]

hope ur aware im not planning anything ahead of time and now im logging this idea for the future maybe

[lyric cobalt]

thinking of making another WOAF fic

[hardy pagoda]

shhh... you're not supposed to say that, you're supposed to wink and nod and say "who knows?"

[lyric cobalt]

No my muse again

[hardy pagoda]

doooo it

[olive magnet]

make yall confused. will i? wont i? maybe im just evil and chose the secret third option

[lyric cobalt]

I'm still making Chasing Birds and a Cult of the Lamb fic

[olive magnet]

or maybe im just silly

[hardy pagoda]

the silly is assumed here

[lyric cobalt]

The silly takeover

[olive magnet]

monksilly quickly overtook nootstare in my frequently used emojis

monksilly has always been my number 1... it's just so versatile

[viscid pagoda]

[lyric cobalt]

(said in a really snooty voice)

[olive magnet]

hewo woafers

if i dont set up anything beyond experiments, woaf gets a friend in the chap after this

[olive magnet]

tummy hurt instead :(

[hardy pagoda]

Feel better soon!

[olive magnet]

[uncut hazel]

skill issue supreme

[high spear]

unparalleled innocence is sucg a joy to write

this was practice for the calloutpost fic all along /j

[hardy pagoda]

You gotta have a hundred hours logged on writing UI before you can make calloutpost, fic law

[high spear]

does it count if it was all done in my head

[hardy pagoda]

Yes… so go ahead and get writing

[high spear]

day 1: innocence creates an abomination
day 100: innocence and five pebbles kiss

woofin…

[high spear]

me too (has 3 wips)

[tribal wigeon]

My first exposure to WOAF...... beautiful

[golden parrot]

i do not understand much about this fic, other than its a group project, could someone go into details about it?

[eager cloak]

It’s a collection of fics about the same Iterator!

No rhyme or reason, really

[silver heron]

an amalgamation of various projects slammed together

enjinir

[eager cloak]

Is the info post pinned I don’t see it

[silver heron]

nope

[eager cloak]

Idk where it is then lmao

[tepid jackal]

you still need that info dump or are you all caught up?

[golden parrot]

i can use a more in-dept one, so sure

[tepid jackal]

lets start simple, what do you know, or rather, what would you still like to know?

[golden parrot]

im not sure

[tepid jackal]

hmmmm

okay

then i will just write everythign that comes to mind

feel free to stop me for questions

okay so woaf (she/her) is a first generation iterator

and she was built not to find the solution for the big problem in mind, but instead to collect something

what, is up to you

for that collection process she should purpose some sort of purposed organism, again, what sort is your choice, we had in game creatures like yeeks and pole plants already, but you could also just make sth up

it is encoraged, but not neccecary, to write similar in the log style from dazsobazs iterator logs

[golden parrot]

limited addition black boxed Pokémon cards/j

[tepid jackal]

ehhhm as for lenght

it can be whatever you like, oneshot, multiple chapters, etc

angst, fluff, crack, whatever, you can decided the tone as well

oh! how did i forget

[golden parrot]

oh no

[tepid jackal]

ehm, we did decide on some core traits for woaf, tho you can add to those however you like, they are just there so we can see again how everyone will implement them

okay so woaf is someone more on the quiet side who can be sometimes pretty rude

especially in her head

but those are loose lines, you could make her also a ball of sunshine as logn as their is just a sliver of that personality

tbh, one could probably make a flashback, show those traits, flash forward, and then just make her completly different, it would theoretically follow the rules

the rules overall are supposed to be reather loose so the writers have a lot of freedom

the main character doesnt even have to be woaf anymore, we already have stories where woaf is not the main pov, where she has yet to appear at all (as long as she will it will be fine) and some even brought there ocs into the mix to interact wiht woaf

if you want, you can try to work with someone else on their woaf for a sort of woaf collab ig, or you can just make your own

you can also inspire yourself from other works since we all have the same base rules, so overlap will happen in certain places, and some, cy and me for example, have no problems if you use our ideas and make them your own

ehh

let me just look if i missed sth

[golden parrot]

this was/is a good explanation

i unserstand a lot better now

[tepid jackal]

ah yes, the creation of the purposed organisms, you can also decided if you want to make a single one or a group, since both the collected thingy and the creature are up to you, you can decide what fits better

[golden parrot]

hmm

[tepid jackal]

oh and you can make ocs, use cannon characters etc, make woaf a local group or not, all up to you

oHHHH

how did i forget

[golden parrot]

im prob not gonna add to this, but ill prob make a lot of joke prompts for this

[tepid jackal]

at least oen part of the story part shoudl play during the time where the ancients are still alive, tho it fits best if most of it plays during ancient time

if you dont want that just make the opening log them, and make a time skip

okay, thats it

(i hope)

[golden parrot]

well thank you

[olive magnet]

welcome new woafer

i have an unrelated question

[tepid jackal]

go on

[harsh iris]

Lemme help trying to compress that down

0 Just try to have fun, these are just loose guidelines

1. The story should be in logs format( preferably similar to Iterator Logs)
2. The story should have WoaF as a character element
3. The story should have WoaF involved in a creation of purposed organism(s) with loosely defined goal of 'collection of resources'

And that's it I think?

[olive magnet]

can the pre-design sketches for woaf be unpinned and the completed piece pinned instead?

[tepid jackal]

perfect

[tepid jackal]

id say we unpin everythng besides that short explanation and the finished picture, maybe the collection link can stay, but other then that im not sure the rest is needed

[olive magnet]

otay

[tepid jackal]

i see cy is still on but it should be pretty later for him i think? should i ping or not

[olive magnet]

it dont seem super important. i was just thinkin bout stuff earlier and went "wait a second- why were those pinned?". it ok.

[tepid jackal]

i think it would be better for organisation, it also will probably help new woafers taht just want a quick rundown

[harsh iris]

Cy sold out to authority so just abuse make him work for it

[tepid jackal]

well...

sure, why not

@hardy pagoda

i see your still not in bed

[hardy pagoda]

one sec... I'm business

[tepid jackal]

no prob

[lyric cobalt]

[hardy pagoda]

someone gimme a link to the short explanation, please? for a pin

[tepid jackal]

right here

Collection link for you to add your story, for more questions either just ask or look throw the information in the Collection
[insert collection link]

should we pin sth like that as well?

[olive magnet]

should i move my silly log discussions to the forum?

i have learned more abt leeches

[tepid jackal]

we loose yet another one to the forums /j
sure, why not

[high spear]

feather time :) featjer time

[olive magnet]

yall woofer gon eat good tomorrow

im brewing up yummy entry

[hardy pagoda]

Finally done with my business! Did I manage to get everything pinned/unpinned that people wanted?

[magic crest]

Cy, shouldn’t you be sleeping?

[hardy pagoda]

It’s only 1:30… and like I said, I just finished my business

I won’t be staying up too much longer, in any case.

[junior geyser]

typical cy behavior
He's a wise man, he can manage himself

[hardy pagoda]

…actually, sometimes it’s nice to be told that I should really be in bed. I’m not good about it, and if ‘stories people will be mad at me’ is the extra push I need to get better sleep, I won’t begrudge anyone for saying something

[junior geyser]

go to sleep

[harsh iris]

go to bed

It's also only 10 mins to 2am...

[hardy pagoda]

In like 10 minutes… but thank you

[junior geyser]

🫵 🛏️
👉 🛏️

[hardy pagoda]

Yes yes, good night

[junior geyser]

we did it chat, we bulllied Cy into sleeping

[lyric cobalt]

We will use the ability of copy paste

➡️ ☕

[junior geyser]

[praise be]

[lyric cobalt]

[praise be]

Also, a loaf would match coffee

[junior geyser]

that does sound nice

[full flower]

me and ao3 got beef because wth is html oh holy molly

[magic crest]

To be honest, I’m just mad that most of AO3s shit don’t have documentation as for what it does.

[eager cloak]

Use rich text mode

Copy paste right into rich text and it will do the html automatically

[lyric cobalt]

What does rich text mode do?

Also, morning

[harsh iris]

It provides basic text formatting without the need to manually use HTML/CSS. Very basic though

One of my main gripes with ao3 is that neither ways give me the option to use 'Tab' spacing

[lyric cobalt]

Noted

[full flower]

yeah i have, its just i did colour stuff and some formating but i have to do httml stuff for that to appear cuz the rich text thing doesnt do it :C

[harsh iris]

yeah, and while Ao3's way of handling custom css is not too complicated, it's not that intuitive to use either.

[lyric cobalt]

dem

[magic crest]

Above all, tedious as fuck.

[olive magnet]

luckily im a basic bitch and only need like italics sometimes

[eager cloak]

I overuse italics lmao

[silver heron]

THE IDEA IS SIMPLE, WOAFERS!

WOAF HAS BEEN INFORMED A NEW AQUATIC SEA SPECIES, AND IS TASKED WITH RESEARCHING IT IN ORDER TO FIND USES FOR IT! DO AS YOU WISH!

[junior geyser]

babe wake up WOAF update just dropped

[olive magnet]

funnily enough- this could realistically be worked into a very future installment of my stuff if aquatic leeches are anything to go by rn

[olive magnet]

[silver heron]

LITERALLY JUST ANY ITERATOR

true

LOUD CORRECT BUZZER

she literally does!!

doubt it

chat.

chat is it true

canon

[magic crest]

Interesting.

[full flower]

trans confermed?!?!!!

[uncut hazel]

there's nowhere you wouldn't see it

[magic crest]

Not much goes on with WoaF storymaking anymore.

Wish I could fix, but time crunch.

[olive magnet]

i get distracted too easily

[olive magnet]

im gonna play more terraria instead of woafing

[hardy pagoda]

A WOAF project is in the works… but we’ll see how long it takes

[viscid pagoda]

However long it needs to, eh?

[olive magnet]

letting it brew for big flavor

[full flower]

I would write more however school sucks out all energy plus assignments exist

I have stuff written tho

It's just not finished

[viscid pagoda]

Wait so is the thread getting abandoned in favor of the forum?

[lyric cobalt]

I think so

[silver heron]

i mean

yall can still use it

[viscid pagoda]

Aye

[full flower]

[uncut hazel]

[silver heron]

[viscid pagoda]

Yeah, so

There is a forum for woaf now

[silver heron]

[viscid pagoda]

[silver heron]

[viscid pagoda]

Could ask to close it but that's your choice

[silver heron]

🪲

[viscid pagoda]
