It's gonna be late

[worldly lion]

its probably gonna be fine

[bright latch]

Tonight was cursed

Sorry celestium, I eated your sunday

[worldly lion]

how many food pips did you get from that?

[bright latch]

[bright latch]

I am gonna make a chapter so good you’d think part of him is still alive

[bright latch]

Added 370 words today so far and am at 1206. I am writing things I never thought I'd have to write, ever.

[bright latch]

I don't think it's happening today either

70% chance it's happening tomorrow and then 25% chance it's happening Tuesday and remaining 5% chance I disappear under mysterious circumstances

[dry sequoia]

To clear up some things, said mysterious circumstances are not me or in any way affiliated with me.

[bright latch]

yeah

[frozen sleet]

[thin cargo]

Welp, guess we're watching

[dry sequoia]

I take it back. Said mysterious circumstances may be me or affiliated with me.

[bright latch]

[frozen sleet]

It seems you have more to worry about than my arti x scavking chapter

[bright latch]

spoilers???

[bright latch]

1729 words, finally got through what I suspect and sure hope was the hardest part. Now I just gotta... go!!!!!!

[bright latch]

the corpse is all DIALOGUE. So much yapping. But I must make haste, no time to dilly-dally with details!!

[south forum]

[bright latch]

dumpter

[south forum]

[dry sequoia]

Thou hath consumed my time.

Thou will face the full force of my wrath. /j

[bright latch]

[bright latch]

2089 words. 80% of the words written, ~50% of which are "polished"

poorly written climax time

[bright latch]

My chapter doesn't have that much fluff...

2257 words and rising...

[south forum]

i forgot if the chaps are supposed to be connected to the one before them or if when its my turn i can just do my own thing

[bright latch]

I do believe the idea is for them to be connected

hence the Frankenstein's monster corpse analogy

You make a chapter without seeing the full picture, parts that are blind to each other

But you do get 1 chapter

[south forum]

shit i have no idea what im doing for moonie now

[bright latch]

well that's what makes it exciting

You have to see what the person from behind gave you

[south forum]

i wanted to connect it to my moonie oneshots

[bright latch]

you can!!!!! I think

Just also take from the previous chapter

And give something to the next person

A starting place

2721 words.....

I didn't think it'd get this big

I would have gone to sleep 2 hours ago

But if I go now I won't be able to keep working on it

for like

18 hours ?

I need to do math

yeah somewhere around that much

[south forum]

i wonder if id write 5k again as the final writer of the project..

🤔

thatd be fun

silly, even

[bright latch]

should chieftain be capitalized

scav king

I've.. been calling him chieftain

uh

I think I'm gonna stick with that actually

for reasons

anyway

lowercase or capital

chieftain or Chieftain

[dry sequoia]

Is it an epithet?

If it is, lowercase.

If it isn’t, capital.

[bright latch]

time to google new words

Decision made ✅

I'm gonna be the tiredest tomorrow

3002 words. Climax finished. Now I just gotta give the celestium something to start with.

The book and tree are now one... 3134 words done.
Wish I coulda set up something better for you to work with, but it shall suffice for a writer more experienced than I, I hope.

So uh... go! Bully tree for the link!

I couldn't rob you of the ominous tree

just before 5/13/2025

[frozen sleet]

Congrats l!

[thin cargo]

Now, the question is, should I make SM traumatized or had a grudge with FP

[frozen sleet]

sounds cool (adds character)

[bright latch]

?????? are we there already ???????????

re summoning this

slow down smh

Next thing you know we're on saint

[dry sequoia]

Definitely not!

[dry sequoia]

Unless life fucks me over, then maybe I’ll just go with a backup plan.

[bright latch]

Why’s mine say “5/13 ?”

Tree of such little faith

I had 8 whole minutes left

[elder cloak]

I didn’t even update that

[worldly lion]

I did that

(mostly because i didnt know from what timezone the dates were written)

[worldly lion]

But from my perspective you had more than enough time left on that day so like dw

[dry sequoia]

I swear, writing is happening! I've just been drained.

[elder cloak]

[dry sequoia]

I have finished my part. It took me a while, but I swear, I had valid reasons to not write.

To Anton, go pester Tree.

[thin cargo]

[bright latch]

I hope you suffered much less than I

[worldly lion]

I have updated the spreadsheet (idk why i just feel compelled to administrate)

[thin cargo]

I'm trying to understand why got something something

[bright latch]

[elder cloak]

[thin cargo]

Idk about it BUT should I aim for shorter chapter?

[dry sequoia]

If you want to.

[bright latch]

Shorter than what

[outer girder]

heck i almost forgor about this

please ping me when im on deck (when the person before me is pinged)

so i can be prepared

[thin cargo]

Idk, shorter than usual

[bright latch]

how long is usual

[thin cargo]

3k or 4k

But if brain work, twice than that

[bright latch]

sounds find

follow your heart

[thin cargo]

Alright, let's go gambling

[languid sand]

Blin ks

Ummm

I havent been keeping up with corpse so

I have no idea whats going on in here

I guess i can just write when im told to 😞

[worldly lion]

in theory, if everything suddenly goes perfectly, your turn will be on the 5th of june, but there's already been a few extensions of planned time, so it might be more around 24, but in other words, your turn is still a couple weeks away.
tl;dr: yup, you can just write when you're told to lol

[thin cargo]

I'll continue now, no more dilly dally

Time to lock in

(currently, I'm writing the Spearmaster chapter, I'll wing it like every fic I have)

[thin cargo]

I am done

After 9 days

That's longer than I expected

[candid mountain]

@quartz locust your turn to enter the meatgrinder
🫵 👉 🕳️ /j /silly

[candid mountain]

Yeah you wait for tree to give you the chapter

[thin cargo]

Ya

[bright latch]

Ominous tr💥 💥 💥 💥

[elder cloak]

[jolly kestrel]

just because i checked the schedule doc so i could remember when my writing time was, is it possible that we are ever (not) so slightly behind or is the thing just not up to date?

[thin cargo]

Partially my mistake, original gangster

It took mine 9 days

[jolly kestrel]

not the original gangster

also no probs, i was just wondering

[thin cargo]

[languid sand]

Original gangster

[dry sequoia]

We are behind, partially because we hit three slow writers in a row. Cabbages, me, and Anton because he had stuff going on.

[dry sequoia]

The Corpse’s soul has left.

[thin cargo]

I formally apologize for the delay

This year felt sluggish

[dry sequoia]

Preemptive bump and question to Raven.

How far along are you?

[south forum]

@quartz locust hewo we has question here

[quartz locust]

Ah, hi!

[quartz locust]

"Finished", but I dropped it. Feel very anxious about my writing
I'm very sorry to disappoint.

So move on without me

[dry sequoia]

Nobody’s taking this fully seriously, we don’t mind.

[frozen sleet]

if you feel this way, it may be best to inform tree

[quartz locust]

Already have

[dry sequoia]

In which case, sad, but hey—I hope you had fun!

[worldly lion]

I agree, its all fine!

[candid mountain]

Nobody will judge, i'm sure you know that well, but of course that is understandable

[worldly lion]

Maybe if you choose to join a future corpse, you'll be more confident :)

[dry sequoia]

Second time’s the charm!

[worldly lion]

indeed indeed

(though this does mean its now my turn...
uh oh)

[candid mountain]

... Or third
... Or fourth
... Or fifth
But i'm sure you know that too well /silly /lh

[worldly lion]

we're all anxious writers here /silly

[worldly lion]

i hath been graced by ideas
hehehe
im not going to promise much but im having so much fun writing this :D

[thin cargo]

[worldly lion]

I am so fuelled up i might actually just finish it today???

[worldly lion]

I did

[bright latch]

i don’t know how

rivflabbergasted got there

[frozen sleet]

Yay!

[elder cloak]

holy peak

[bright latch]

HE RETURNS

HI TR—💥

[outer girder]

corpse time <3

[elder cloak]

Hello

[bright latch]

[elder cloak]

I've been busy spreading my evil webs of deceit

[bright latch]

you may not be ancient as the tales told but you are still wise, tr—💥

Wait what

[elder cloak]

\

[bright latch]

Backslash

You have such a way with words

[elder cloak]

thank you, it's my natural talent of having fat fingers and consistently missing the keyboard

[thin cargo]

[outer girder]

Progress is being made :3

[candid mountain]

Wait i'm next oh no

[worldly lion]

nonono, it's
*oh yes *

relish the opportunity
write the peak

[candid mountain]

But what if it isn't as peak as i imagined it to be

[worldly lion]

then you must imagine it as the highest peak in the universe, such that even when it doesn't reach your expectations, it still rises certainly to its own high!
(somebody get the monkey typewriters out of my head /silly)

[candid mountain]

That makes me think of some thing about looking for the lowest point from a limited perspective or something like that but i don't remember what exactly was it

[outer girder]

im having so much fun playing around with the watcher content ^-^

[outer girder]

me not insert my headcanons into the corpse challenge (impossible)

anyways im at 1.1k words rn

[outer girder]

i think im cooking

[frozen sleet]

The entire point is to get a collection of people's writing styles and ideas
Headcannon away!

[outer girder]

update: keep on putting characters in situations, more at 11

[worldly lion]

amazing

[outer girder]

plus: plot contrivance in the form of a nightmare

[candid mountain]

"Oh boy, i wonder what has funky cooked up," i'll say as my turn comes, about to witness a 100k chapter /j /silly

[outer girder]

You caught me, instead of writing my chapter I have put the entirety of Disconnected into the corpse. 5 dead, 7 injured (silly)

[dry sequoia]

Why did everyone write long chapters?

Mine's, like, a few hundred words.

I have my regrets.

[outer girder]

Because we're

[frozen sleet]

short chapters work, long chapters work. both are good

[thin cargo]

Idk

I find short chapter for me, not eye-catching for audience methink

[odd whale]

Am I still able to join or has that chance been passed up?

[frozen sleet]

i would say you prob could, there are char slots still open, youll have to ask Tree, and you would be placed at the end (or 2nd to last, frostmoth said they'd like to be last)

[odd whale]

Noted

Thank you Sylvie

So can I just

Hm

Would my chapter have a minimum required length?

[worldly lion]

nope

it's all very silly and fun

just whatever you want to make as long as its not overly traumatic n stuff

(rule one is have fun)

[odd whale]

Me?

Angst?

I would never

Camera pan to my WIPs

[bright latch]

I am forever haunted by my chapter I wish it gone

[odd whale]

Nooo

[worldly lion]

Im sure ill enjoy it no matter what you think of it after the fact :)

[bright latch]

[outer girder]

donezo

sent it over to tree. want him to look it over before things progress because ngl i might've sprinkled too much angst

[thin cargo]

The corpse flourished

[worldly lion]

we are in the we are so back segment of the cycle :D

[inland lotus]

So it's Piotr next, then Crispy, then Amany...

My time is approaching

[dry sequoia]

My Time…

[thin cargo]

My rhymes

[candid mountain]

oh it's my turn now

[dry sequoia]

Enjoy, Pee Otter.

[frozen sleet]

makes me a little glad i aws one of the first ones so it doesn't just show up out of nowhere

[worldly lion]

lol

[umbral lodge]

Wawa

[candid mountain]

Haven't heard from the plant yet so i'm safe

[worldly lion]

The Ominous Plant of Innate Terror

[inland lotus]

The secluded sylvan being...

[odd whale]

Can I show up out of nowhere?

Plz owo

I wanna randomly cause scheduling issues

😇

[dry sequoia]

Go ask Tree.

[odd whale]

I can't just DM them!

What if they're busy?

[dry sequoia]

That’s never stopped you. /j

I’ll go ask him.

[odd whale]

Wahtg

[dry sequoia]

Asked.

Will wait for an answer.

[odd whale]

0∆0

[dry sequoia]

He’ll surely be done with his job in a few hours. And then his other job.

And then his other other j—

[odd whale]

0∆0

[dry sequoia]

What position do you want?

[bright latch]

Tree’s amazing how’s he doing so much stuff

[odd whale]

Uh

I-

What are the open positions?

[dry sequoia]

None open. You are late, somewhat.

However.

Raven left Rivulet.

Maybe we can slip this one right before Moon.

[inland lotus]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P5ULVNOsGHRx8512QOQJ0KmI9lRofvvejV0rIRSSDiI/edit?usp=drivesdk

It seems NSH, SRS, lizors(?), void word(??) are still open

[dry sequoia]

This will need to have a readjustment, but Fros is willing to have her schedule pushed back.

She did request to be last.

Or we can do another Itty.

Or a lizard. Maybe Sprinkles.

Anyone doesn’t know who Sprinkles is?

[dry sequoia]

Do you know who Sprinkles is?

Whatever, I’ll demonstrate.

[elfin burrow]

@inland lotus *BITES YOU!*

[elfin burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/im-biting-you-shark-shark-biting-im-biting-you-gif-1777865986608719112

[dry sequoia]

Oh! I hit the lucky chance.

[inland lotus]

[dry sequoia]

Say hello to Sprinkles! Challenge bot for assigning roles and some sillies.

[elfin burrow]

*chirps*

Sprinkles hops around you!

[dry sequoia]

Good girl.

[dry sequoia]

It seems that I was wrong.

[odd whale]

Wait what

So there's several positions open that I could take?

[dry sequoia]

Maybe stuff is open, but the time schedule is “full”.

Asking Tree might get you better answers. He’s the organizer of this whole thing.

[odd whale]

Okey

I'll DM him now

[south forum]

[dry sequoia]

Wait, are you not?

[south forum]

im still ok with being last

[languid sand]

Wait i forgot i signed up for this

🧍

Uhmm i might not be able to make a lot of progress quickly cause im kinda in

Another country

[dry sequoia]

Worry not, you won't take... 8? 9 days?

You certainly wouldn't take 5 just to write a few hundred words.

[languid sand]

Dont assume my gender please

[dry sequoia]

On a different note, every time I refer to you I open up your profile.

[outer girder]

sent piotr my part of the corpse o7

[left wigeon]

You guys are sharing a corpse?

Why not just each have one separately???

Think of the calories???????

[candid mountain]

But the economy!

[left wigeon]

To Hecking darn with the economy!!! I’m hungry!!!

[candid mountain]

Alright, cracks knuckles, time to get to work

[candid mountain]

I have many regrets and i am just starting

[marsh pilot]

Corpse fights back

[bright latch]

[candid mountain]

Not for long

[outer girder]

[candid mountain]

Corpse status: not fighting back

Who's next uhhhhhh

[outer girder]

oh goodness

[candid mountain]

Crispy

@languid sand OH CRISPYYYYYYYY

you're next

[languid sand]

Who did i sign up for again?

OMG GENDERFLUID LANTERN MOUSE

[odd whale]

So uh

Tree hasn't responded yet so I don't think I'll be able to join

[elder cloak]

nah you can

lemme add you to the spreadsheet

@odd whale which character do you want to do?

[dry sequoia]

You can. Now, be good. /silly /lh /j

[odd whale]

Who's open?

[dry sequoia]

Sunnies, Sig, lizards and probably some other thing?

[elder cloak]

• A void worm??? , Monk hugs themself?, Smelvin????

I was scraping for ideas at the end of that list

[dry sequoia]

Is Rivu to be opened?

[elder cloak]

if you have anything else in mind, that works too

[dry sequoia]

Miros bird works, if you want.

[elder cloak]

A second riv chapter

[odd whale]

Uh

I'm a bit confused sorry

So Rivulet, Miros bird, void worm, self monk hug and smelvin are open slots?

[elder cloak]

not riv

I'd need to talk to raven

but those plus NSH or SRS

or anything else you can think of

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P5ULVNOsGHRx8512QOQJ0KmI9lRofvvejV0rIRSSDiI/edit?gid=0#gid=0

observe spreadsheet

[odd whale]

Question

Is there a deadline?

[dry sequoia]

No.

There isn’t a strict deadline.

[odd whale]

Okey

So me taking a few days or longer won't clog up the fic's upload time

(beyond what it would normally do)

[dry sequoia]

Me, Cabbages and Anton have already slogged the upload time.

[odd whale]

Ah

[dry sequoia]

Sure, when your turn comes, take more time if you need to.

[odd whale]

Wdym when my turn comes?

Am I not supposed to write my chapter immediately?

[elder cloak]

nah you read the person that wrote the chapter before you and improivise the story from there

kinda like telephone

[dry sequoia]

Tree won’t kill you.

[odd whale]

Ohhb

So if I pick a lizor, I read the chapter Cabbage boy wrote correct?

[elder cloak]

correct

[dry sequoia]

I think.

[elder cloak]

you'd actually read Crispy's chapter because we're already underway but thats the genereal concept

[odd whale]

Whu

Okey then

Annnd cripy hasn't written his chapter yet

So uh

shrug

[elder cloak]

well they're writing their chapter now more or less

so it wouldn't be long till your turn

[odd whale]

Okie

I assume I join by just signing up?

Also, am I able to switch my choice if I so wish?

[elder cloak]

I don't see why not

[odd whale]

Okie

Just wondering

So uh

[elder cloak]

awesome

[odd whale]

How join?

Sign up?

[elder cloak]

you wanted to do lizards?

[odd whale]

Uhh

Might do Suns actually

[elder cloak]

added

[odd whale]

Oh, huh

[elder cloak]

[odd whale]

That's it?

Don't I have to like

[elder cloak]

you will be contacted when crispy is done

[odd whale]

Add my timetable?

Or is that when cripy is done?

[elder cloak]

nah, i've stopped tracking that

mostly because i've been... preoccupied

[odd whale]

Oof

[elder cloak]

ill handle all the spreasheet stuffs

you just do the fun writing part

[dry sequoia]

I think.

[odd whale]

Okie

[odd whale]

The Thinker

[elder cloak]

what's it like?

[languid sand]

Might have to wait a minutev

[odd whale]

Ah well

Guess we'll dig in for the winter

[languid sand]

@elder cloak nvm im done

ill send it to crows

?

Yeah

[odd whale]

Done

I have been given a piece of the corpse

Now is my time to dine

[thin cargo]

Do not eat the corpse

Save some for others

[odd whale]

Alright alright

I assume Moink blacking out is supposed to happen always?

[thin cargo]

Shh

[quartz locust]

Up to you!

[odd whale]

Oh, huh

[quartz locust]

All you need to know is in the spreadsheet and the previous writer's document

[odd whale]

Oeky

So I build off of the previous chapter right?

Or do I do my own thing?

(sorry, I've never done collaborative writing I'm kinda confused)

[thin cargo]

After the chapter, you can continue it there

[candid mountain]

Basically you write a new chapter where monk hugs the character of your choice

[odd whale]

And that's it?

I don't have to be beholden to the previous chapter

If I so choose

[candid mountain]

Well some continuity would be nice

But mainly just monk hugging

[odd whale]

Okey

[candid mountain]

And once you are done you send your chapter to the next person in line (check sign-up doc, update it too if you wanna) and to tree

[languid sand]

What if i did no continuity to your chapter

[odd whale]

0∆0

[languid sand]

Angle

[thin cargo]

[odd whale]

Oh okay then

[languid sand]

You can legit do almost anything you want

[odd whale]

If Cripy has no continuity I won't either

[languid sand]

Make it silly, make it serious

Yah

[odd whale]

:3

[languid sand]

Break the rules

[thin cargo]

Make it both

[languid sand]

[odd whale]

WHUH

[languid sand]

I made mine too depressing i think but its wtv

[odd whale]

It's okey

[candid mountain]

Dw i left my chapter's ending quite open-ended so crispy could do whatever the fuck she pleased

[odd whale]

And so did she actually

Anyways

So when I'm done with my chapter, I send it to the next person?

[languid sand]

Yall lucky i restrained myself from doing a whole sos flashback dream sequence where sliver tells her whole life stroy in 7k words

[languid sand]

[candid mountain]

Fuck i should have written in my whole fic when i had the oppurtunity

[languid sand]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING

[odd whale]

I'm getting devious ideas now

[languid sand]

Im gonna finish omniforge in there

[odd whale]

HAH

[worldly lion]

"suddenly monk sees a huge towering structure extend through the clouds, far past the atmosphere's clutches"

[odd whale]

Then I'll finish CoG:R

[worldly lion]

"huh thats strange lemme check whats up there"
proceeds to find Chromatic Transverse
"wait something aint right here"

[odd whale]

I can update the sign up doc?

[candid mountain]

We'll be back to our regurally-scheduled corpse after a brief intermission by this chapter's author!
17k words

[languid sand]

[odd whale]

Nerd

Anyways

I'm off to write Suns and Moink

[worldly lion]

moink is such a silly

[odd whale]

Mhm

[inland lotus]

Wait, crispy has done their part, and crows too?!?

Who's next? Amany, right?

(and then it's me? im not quite ready, my writing juice is low, and my writing machine is rusty)

[odd whale]

I'm not done yet but I'm actively writing mine atm

[odd whale]

Is okay, you can take your time

Fros still has her chapter anyways

[inland lotus]

[odd whale]

Sillay

[languid sand]

Fun group idea:

We make drymm read the whole fic without knowing who wrote what and whenever they get it wrong they have to make a lap through the McDonald's drive thru using a scooter

[thin cargo]

[marsh pilot]

Why me

[dry sequoia]

Great idea, I say yay.

[elder cloak]

has my approval; I will organize Drymm's kidnapping using spreadsheets

[languid sand]

Because you cant drive

[dry sequoia]

Wait, they can’t?

[marsh pilot]

I don't even have a scooter

[candid mountain]

Are we gonna introduce difficulty modifiers, for example if they fail to guess a set number of chapters they have to do it with no glasses?

[thin cargo]

You can have my sister's /silly /j

[languid sand]

Sure !

[dry sequoia]

Chat, Drymm might be legally blind without glasses. /j

[odd whale]

Reads this for funsies

Brain: "Hey you remember it's your turn right?"

Me:

[odd whale]

Hey quick question

Does Moink have the mark?

Or am I not allowed to ask that?

[bright latch]

Whooooo knowsssssss

[odd whale]

Guh

Then they do lmao

[thin cargo]

Moink

[frozen sleet]

We're not the one to answer that question
You are

[worldly lion]

If continuity is your worry then like uhhh
there is none
like i tried to keep it consistent with earlier chapters
but i didnt even get to read the chapter before mine so I just went "welp guess monk's over here now, that makes sense right?" based on the chapter before that

It's an anthology, so they don't even need to be chronologically connected i guess

[thin cargo]

[worldly lion]

i did try to do that tho lol

[thin cargo]

(I connect mine)

[worldly lion]

like i said, you don't need to connect them but its fun to do so still /lh

[thin cargo]

[outer girder]

How's the corpse

[candid mountain]

pokes

Uhh, still dead, i think

[thin cargo]

Tbh

It is corpse

[worldly lion]

hmmm maybe itll wake up next cycle

smth smth like sleep like death smth smth

[thin cargo]

It is having a pale slumber

[odd whale]

Slow progress

I'm at 1.5k words and Moink hasn't even met Suns yet

Guh

Just to let y'all know, I've been going through a creative/motivation dry well for a while now + I have a job now so this chapter may take a while to get written unfortunately sorry apologies

It's okay!!! That happens sometimes

Me watching everyone bump the chat (it's entirely my fault since I'm not writing so there's no discussion to be had):

[candid mountain]

Take your time

[odd whale]

More like I'm taking too much time ()

[worldly lion]

Holdon lemme get something

Behold:

Just as chill as saint's campaign

[elder cloak]

[thin cargo]

Damn, it's like a blanket of rain and snow here

[odd whale]

Sorry for the cold weather!

I'll figure out how to turn up the heat a bit in just a second!

Leaves for another few weeks

Trust me I'm definitely not at fault for the fact this is taking so long

Trust me

[worldly lion]

yeah i trust you /silly

[odd whale]

Uh

Quick question

When was I give my chapter?

Oh wait June 22nd?

And it is…

August 18th

Which means…

I've been not writing this chapter for a month and a half ._.

[thin cargo]

Nearly two months

[odd whale]

Hellppp meeeee

[odd whale]

Me looking at the chapter I haven't written in two months (people are counting on me to finish this soon):

[south forum]

patpat

[odd whale]

Bweh

I need Motivation

I need the Spirit of the Ancient Writers of Yore to possess me for a brief brief time

I just need to write a few hundred words

I've already decided to write a new chapter instead of the one I wanted to earlier

I just need motivation and will and time and-

[south forum]

if art would motivate you, i could draw you a sillay of your choosing

[odd whale]

Bump

I-

I don't think I'm gonna write this…

I have no inclination or motivation to do so…

Am I allowed to opt out?

I'm really sorry for not following through with this

[candid mountain]

Yee i think you can

[odd whale]

Thank youu

[elder cloak]

Corpse has been passed along

[worldly lion]

[odd whale]

Thank you Tree

[jolly kestrel]

My time has come
(Not silksong in 3 days, i gotta hurry up )

[candid mountain]

I will strangle you if you go off playing HK /j /silly

[jolly kestrel]

My part here has been finished
I shall crawl back into the hole of no writing once again

[thin cargo]

[odd whale]

Me watching everyone finish their chapters within a few days (I took 2 months and barely got over halfway):

[worldly lion]

[candid mountain]

Gives you a fraction of the time I took for my failed chapter

That should be plenty ^w^

I've now fully recovered from whatever illness I got soon, I hope.

Listen, as I said to Epochs, if this one runs long enough, it basically will end up as a second Halloween corpse

[thin cargo]

Whoa

Indeed!

bump

[frozen sleet]

spooky bump

[thin cargo]

Krima bump

[frozen sleet]

So here's an idea
After this one is done, thr next corpse is maybe a free for all
Basically we start with one thing, but each person can take it however they want and we end up in a gartic phone kinda deal

[thin cargo]

A free for all?! /silly

[dry sequoia]

And then I go "elsewhere in the world, Sitter and Crows are having a date," and then I write about said date to throw everyone off.

[thin cargo]

I shall deny that date, Sitter must learn the hard way

[dry sequoia]

Eh, if it matters, I don't have time to write.

[thin cargo]

Oof

[dry sequoia]

Not much, anyway.

I have been ignoring my duties for too long.

[south forum]

writing gartic phone would be so silly

prompt, chapter one, summary of chapter 1(however direct or silly), chap 2 written based on summary, and so on so forth

[south forum]

@inland lotus any luck?

[inland lotus]

yeahh sorry for the delay, but it's coming along i promise

[south forum]

keep on truckin

[inland lotus]

Writing something work-related drained me too much but that was done now. Progress soon

[jolly kestrel]

This thing has been cooking for nine months lol
Can't wait to actually see it

[thin cargo]

We did it!!!

[worldly lion]

yesss

[south forum]

sent

[worldly lion]

Dawn approaches

[elder cloak]

Hell yeah chat

Now I’ve just gotta get everything sorted out for our totally planned Valentine’s Day stories chat corpse

[thin cargo]

Inv's valentine's day?

[elder cloak]

Everyone’s Valentine’s Day

[thin cargo]

[frozen sleet]

oh no way! we're done!

[frozen sleet]

honestly, I wouldn't be opposed

[thin cargo]

We have a few weeks until valentine's day

[elder cloak]

only a month tbf

with 14 chapters of content

[dry sequoia]

That's still quite a long time.

[elder cloak]

now we have a bigger problem: we need a title

[elder cloak]

Not for the forest

[dry sequoia]

"Totally Planned Valentine's Day Stories Chat Corpse".

[elder cloak]

That's one chapter every 2-3 days, which is a fairly rapid rate for Ao3

[dry sequoia]

Hm. Fair...

[elder cloak]

assuming I started uploads today

perhaps it's the jolt I need to start writing more

I let 2025 pass me by so so easily

[dry sequoia]

Slugcat called Writer that insists they are writing. I remember that.

[elder cloak]

I say as I got a literal writing job and won a writing competition this year

but it's not the fanfics i PROMISED CELESTIUM

[dry sequoia]

"I swear I'm writing! Look! Here's drafts of it!"
"That's good!"
"..."
"..."
"...I don't like these drafts."

Conversation between The Writer and The Reader.

[elder cloak]

next stories corpse just dropped lol

The adventures of a scug called The Reader and one called The Writer

[dry sequoia]

The Writer is writing the story they're in.

They are doing their best to make it unique and not trope-y and unpredictable.

The Reader is aware of this and wants no more Miros Vultures in Outskirts.

[elder cloak]

Reader keeps asking for a sappy romance plot

Writer thinks they're trite

[dry sequoia]

The Writer does not realize why The Reader is asking for this.

This sounds like a fun crackfic.

[elder cloak]

Poor Reader

[dry sequoia]

And has room for some sappy romance.

[elder cloak]

A good setup all together

I can let chat ruminate on it some

[thin cargo]

Shall I make a title?

[elder cloak]

We're brainstorming here

throw forth the suggestions

[thin cargo]

"Inv's Dazzling Date Night"

Or uhhh

"Enot's Love Odyssey"

[elder cloak]

no for the current corpse

I.E. the one we will be uploading very soon

[thin cargo]

Ah that!!

Uhhh

What's the corpse about again?

[elder cloak]

monk fluff with progressively more wacky characters

[thin cargo]

Oh!

Uhhhh

Monk's Therapy Adventure?

Or

Monk's Hug Rescue or something like that

Here me suggestions

[elder cloak]

Hm we must start prodding the lurkers

@marsh pilot we need title for monk fluff corpse

I've seen you poking around

[marsh pilot]

I haven't even seen the content

Uhhhh

Monk's Fluffy Corpse /j

[elder cloak]

I've got links set up on the spreadsheet hold on

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P5ULVNOsGHRx8512QOQJ0KmI9lRofvvejV0rIRSSDiI/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[marsh pilot]

Pilgrimage of Trust and Truth, aka Potat

[elder cloak]

POTAT

I'm very pleased with this answer

thank you Drymm

[marsh pilot]

Or just Pot if necessary

[elder cloak]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bXYs_C6jlsga2KsBqkpUdlMleSLKE-C7yD1sGtznvKI/edit?tab=t.0

behold chat

the whole shebang

assembled in a cool 20,000 words for our posting pleasure

I can't wait to ping everyone at once when I start posting chapters :)))))))

[thin cargo]

YEAHHHH

WE DID IT LADS, THE FORTS OURS /ref

[elder cloak]

As for posting on ao3, we currently have 31 days for 14 chapters

so we could wait until the 18th and start posting every second day, which would land the final chapter squarely on valentine's

[thin cargo]

[elder cloak]

also, we might need another foreword like last time but that's a discussion for tomorrow I think

[dry sequoia]

Good night, Tree.

[elder cloak]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YEakEPooHKFBO57RJwoO9B4_Zrg6kMnE8U_ul5aW6oo/edit?tab=t.0

okay authors' list

Did Cabbages have an Ao3 account?

[dry sequoia]

Ah. Right.

[elder cloak]

they're not on this server anymore so finding their stuff is difficult

[dry sequoia]

I can't find anything on the library. Hold on.

[dry sequoia]

He had a Tumblr. I think.

Let me check that.

[elder cloak]

I added them so hopefully I can ask them whenever they're awake

[dry sequoia]

Nope.

Nothing on that front.

[dry sequoia]

Alright!

[elder cloak]

now I just gotta slap a pile of tags on and we should be good to go actually

also @worldly lion , @languid sand , @candid mountain

Can you guys allow collabs on your ao3 accounts so I can add you?

[candid mountain]

This?

[elder cloak]

yes

okay added

so I super need to sleep now

[candid mountain]

You should do that, then

[elder cloak]

bUT THE FOREWORD

/j

I can handle just about everything else tomorrow

[worldly lion]

did it :D

[elder cloak]

added :)

[worldly lion]

[elder cloak]

Anyone else can add co-creators now btw if Crispy comes online

[worldly lion]

i think some names are swapped? not sure, i am going to check

[elder cloak]

ffuucckckk

wouldn't be suprised

[worldly lion]

oh yeah mine isn't in there it's just funky's, twice LMAO

[thin cargo]

We were always bavk

[elder cloak]

so the problem is that microsoft word refuses to let me copy paste

[thin cargo]

[elder cloak]

I despise microsoft passionately

so the real problem is that microsoft just denied my copy/paste attempts so I accidentally put Crispy's chapter in three times

[inland lotus]

You are stuck in a loop, a repeating pattern /j

[elder cloak]

anyway, I need a nice someone with a license for microsoft word

Saint is Burgerbox and Watcher is Funky

Just gotta copy/paste them into the document

[elder cloak]

this document

[inland lotus]

I'm outside right now so I can't do it ATM, but I think you can open .odt by importing into Google doc too?

[worldly lion]

i dont even have a license for word but i was able to paste it in from the .odt so idk

[worldly lion]

I've pasted both of them in there and I think it's now fine but if someone else wants to check just to be sure that'd be fun too

the formatting will probably look closer to intended when it's actually on ao3

[frozen sleet]

I have contact. I can ask

[elder cloak]

It’s a skill issue on my part

[elder cloak]

Please do that would be quite handy

[languid sand]

yep!!

[frozen sleet]

They do not have a ao3 account

[elder cloak]

Chat, I need ideas for some more tags for this mf

and i've got the posting calendar set up

we start posting on the 19th of January, going one chapter every second day, and we'll finish with chapter 14 squarely on Valentine's day (Feb 14th)

[elder cloak]

added :)

If anyone hasn't recieved the invite, do tell me

I may have punched in the wrong account somewhere along the way

And all other information is available in the spreadsheet

[odd whale]

Oh hey

Another thing I can join and then promptly abandon at the cost of everyone else's time

[worldly lion]

Has anyone decided to do a foreword?

oh hey also you can apparently define individual separate creators per chapter? nice

[elder cloak]

I title every chapter by the writer

And I was just gonna write a small foreword in the author’s note this time

[south forum]

Joyous

[dry sequoia]

I can maybe do a foreword, but that'd involve a potentially high amount of waiting.

[thin cargo]

What's a foreword?

I

I kinda forgot

Honestly

[elder cloak]

It’s just a short introduction to explain the rules

[thin cargo]

I see

[outer girder]

changed the formatting for my part

on the master manuscript

[elder cloak]

[dry sequoia]

Corpse launch.

[inland lotus]

Corpse lunch

[thin cargo]

Undead afternoon meal

[elder cloak]

Corpse delayed by fire alarm in my building

No access to computer while firemen sort everything out

[candid mountain]

Tree seems to be rather unlucky lately

[frozen sleet]

one of us could prob release it but its not that important

[elder cloak]

Real

Surely it could not get any worse

I was only stuck outside in 10f temperatures for two hours

[dry sequoia]

God's least fortunate soldier.

[elder cloak]

Used all my luck winning that writing competition, and now I must pay my dues to the cruel gods of A03 writers

At least my everything didn’t burn to the ground

[dry sequoia]

Don't tempt them.

[elder cloak]

I’m sure they will find some other way to punish me for my hubris

[south forum]

What

[elder cloak]

My building had to evacuate because of a fire alarm

Took em a while to get everything sorted

[elder cloak]

What's that? 👀

[south forum]

Scam

[thin cargo]

Ah

[marsh pilot]

Die scam

[inland lotus]

Scam
They also edited the message (without actually changing anything) so AO3 sent extra email notifications

[jolly kestrel]

having read the first two chapters, the tone is a lot more sombre than i expected

i think i might have made mine a bit too unserious

[worldly lion]

so true, mine has some silly in there too but it's also kind of sad

[elder cloak]

it'll get there

[dry sequoia]

I'm pretty sure we all just shifted and nobody looked back too hard.

[marsh pilot]

That's why this story is either the Pilgrimage of Trust and Truth or the 🥔

And it shifts

[inland lotus]

Schrodinger potat

It's both nonpoisonous and poisonous until you eat it /silly /j

should we put the character that monk is giving a hug to into the title?

[frozen sleet]

@elder cloak you cut off my chapter in the wrong spot, I already fixed it
thats partly on me, I used the ------ as a divider for a time skip

[elder cloak]

I thought I already updated it

Karressra pointed that out earlier

update must've not gone through

[frozen sleet]

My update seems to have worked

[outer girder]

Odd comment

I'm like 95% sure that this is fear-mongering

[thin cargo]

Huh

What's we going on

👀

[worldly lion]

yea that feels a little odd

[south forum]

That's some kind of copypasta thing

I've seen it before

[thin cargo]

Frosmoth was there before it was written /silly

[south forum]

They like changing the year whenever I see it pop up

[elder cloak]

scam

they have left their homes on FFN to enter Ao3

[inland lotus]

I remember fanfiction.net days ...

[elder cloak]

good times

but even the newest fanfictions websites grow old, systems infected with the writhe of so many worms...

[worldly lion]

there was another comment that was like a million Bengali symbols (as far as i could tell it had no sensible meaning) so i marked that as spam

[jolly kestrel]

whats up with this fic getting all the weird comments, ive never gotten one like that

[south forum]

Me neither
