Midnight's DCA MerMay (update post)
Hello! This is a brief post to serve as a bit of an update on me & also my mermay plans. Will try to be quick to save both time & effort for everyone
First off, I've started writing the multi-chapter story (and having a lot of fun with it), and look forward to sharing it with you all in May! My goal is to have the entirety posted in May, but you know how that goes, still, I think it'll be very good and I hope you all enjoy when it comes out ^^
Speaking of schedules and such, my intent is to post requests every other day in May, and scatter the story throughout. Regarding requests, I'll be opening them soon! Looking at sometime end of this week or beginning of next (please don't request anything until after that point, thank you), so be on the lookout for that! When that post comes out I'll go over rules and other such details as per usual then
Something I did want to open up now though like I mentioned in the Valentine's post, is that I'm looking for artists to draw things for both the main story and the requests! I've had a few people reach out (which, thank you very much for that) but this is an opportunity for any others who may be interested. To keep it simple:
- i'll share the finished requests/story chapters (as I write them) with the group ahead of posting
- you pick a request or chapter/scene you'd like to make a doodle for
- can be anything you like in terms of involvement, from a simple doodle to something more detailed (again whatever your preference is)
- this is low-commitment/volunteer-based/for funsies, there's no pressure to make something, it's just meant to be silly and fun if you want to! if something comes up or you change your mind, it's no worries/big deal
- ideally you would post your doodle when the story/chapter is posted (again tho, if something comes up and you need more time, it's no worries, very flexible)
- if you're interested simply let me know, and I'll invite you to the discord server I've made ^^
- if you're not an artist but are interested in beta-reading (again low commitment) let me know! Would mainly be checking for grammar and spelling
- if you're not an artist or interested in beta-reading please consider sharing this post so it gets to a larger audience who might :)
Last thing I'll say is a brief explanation for what i've been up to recently. I know it's been kind of quiet from me here and that's because I've been busy! Work & school have been keeping me tied up, and I just haven't had the time nor urge to be on Tumblr, I have been writing and taking some time for myself tho! And am generally doing well/excited to share things sometime in the near future
P.S. I went through all my writing posts and added the tag #midnight mutterings to them, so anything i've written will include that tag (if you were looking for things and were unsure), working on updating my masterpost sometime soon as well :)
