It is HEAVILY inspired by the 70's (and 60s!)

It will be for funsies! A slice of life sort of thing!

For Play! for FUN!!

This all started because of the Wally Plush that said 70's slang in Clown's Commercial Lmaoo

(and ofc all AU stuff is silly nonsense that is just us playing with Clowns characters like dolls. Fanart!)

Sign-Ups are now open!

Come join our groovy little exchange and have fun!

Detailed rules are below, and are located in the FAQ of the collection 😄

Sign-Ups Rules:

1) You can sign up without having nominated tags! You’ll simply be limited to the existing tag set

2) Include your DNW or do not want list in your sign up in the "DNW and Want Lists" box! Want lists are also encouraged.

2a) Participants who are under 18 are not, under any circumstances, allowed to request or offer explicit material. If you do you will be banned.

2b) Do not use your DNW lists to railroad your creator into making one specific type of story i.e. you can’t say “do not want anything but a coffee shop au”

2c) Please do not ask for contradictory things i.e. you don’t want time travel, ghosts, or alternate universes but you want a pairing where one lives in a vastly different time period than the other.

2d) You cannot force a creator to make explicit content but you can request that a creator not include explicit content in your DNW

2e) DNWs are binding, as a creator you may not include anything on someone's DNW list. Want lists are not binding, they're an optional way to get to know what your recipient likes but you're not required to create within their bounds like you are with a DNW.

3) Remember to add the fandom tag "Star Wars - All Media Types" to your requests and offers (plus any crossover fandoms where applicable)! Matchups are done by algorithm and you MUST have at least one fandom in common to be matched.

4) Remember to indicate if you'd like to create/receive fanart, fanfic, or either in the appropriate field!

Getting Involved: Celebrating the Archive

Roll up, roll up! Roll back the years!

If you've not yet been grabbed by any of the prompts, how about re-sharing pre-existing content you've enjoyed? You could even make something inspired by your favourite works!

With Deacury Week 2021 almost upon us, here are some final ideas and reassurances for getting involved...

RE-SHARE

Have a list of favourite deacury fics?

Thinking about that one piece of fanart you love?

Can't get a particular photoshoot out of your head?

Here's your excuse to wax lyrical about Freddie and John all 😇 day 😇 long 😇

NB: be sure to REBLOG art that isn't your own – don't re-post it yourself as this draws notes away from the artist. You can always message an artist if you're struggling to find their original post! 💫

EXPAND

Pitch the sequel you always meant to write!

Share a list of headcanons about your favourite au!

Create a playlist for a scene that stayed with you!

Whether based on your own work or the work of a fan you admire, these are lovely ways to celebrate the event 💐

DESIGN

As well as trad and digital drawings, we're also encouraging marvelous moodboards and artistic edits 🖼️

1. these could directly relate to irl Freddie and John,

2. they could be themed along the lines of a prompt,

3. or they could be your hint at/summary of a bigger idea!

Unsure...?

Poly? Platonic? Fem? Trans? Alternative universe/setting? YES PLEASE

Your idea doesn't fit any of the prompts? DO IT ANYWAY

Headcanons? Late submissions? IT'S ALL GROOVY

Basically, if it's within the rules and the spirit of the event, we want to see it 💛

Take a look at our prompts and advice :)

The Longpost (aka: An update on everything)

So! Last night/early this morning, I promised you guys I would longpost at you. Here it is. I’m putting it under a read more so it doesn’t take up your whole dash.

First off, Eddsworld: Life After The End. If you don’t want to read about this, skip to the next paragraph, but please note that this won’t contain any discourse. I’m working on two fun fanfics for the AU! The first is sort of a day in the life of Bing and Larry and the other is a game of hide and seek gone wrong with the Red Army on a particularly boring day. Both will be really funny and full of shenanigans. I’m nearly done with the pencilling of the Reunion comic, so that’ll be up eventually. As for the game for The Reunion... Let’s just say it’s on hiatus. I still can’t get a sprite for one of the boss battles and I’d rather not turn her into a QTE fight. If I can’t get a sprite for her by August, I’m cancelling the game. That being said, if you want to help me out, she’s a dark red tentacle monster with several knives. DM me for more information. This is not a paid job, because even though I’m bringing in money, I’m still very poor.

Next up is my new game series, Survival Fourror. It’s a four game series that delves into four different types of the survival horror genre. Each game follows a different character through a different world to do different things. They won’t be anything groundbreaking, as the inspirations for each of them are insanely obvious. That being said, I love the genre and I love the games and movies these games are inspired by. The titles, genres and basic plots are listed below, in the order I came up with them. Dead Evolution - Zombie - It’s been years since the zombie apocalypse tore across the world. An attempt at a cure was released, but the zombies it didn’t kill were either made sentient or mutated into something stronger. In an attempt to cure the plague once and for all, a lone man is sent out to find one of the sentient zombies, but this may be harder than it initially seemed. Geisterhaus - Haunted House - Five friends go to investigate a supposedly haunted house for the chance to win an enormous cash prize and get more than they bargained for. The hauntings start off small, but quickly become hard to ignore and even deadly as the night goes on. Ashborough - Psychological/Demonic - A woman is left with a mysterious voice message from her sister, claiming she’s been seeing horrible things and that she’s run off to the mysterious little town of Ashborough to see if the answer lies there. Determined to help her, the woman sets off on a dangerous quest to find her. On the way, she’ll discover secrets that would be best left hidden. Twinkle Twinkle - Sci-Fi - It started off as a simple ore mining mission on a large comet some time away from the ship. It ended up being fighting her way through hordes of killer aliens to rescue the few remaining crew members of the ship she was on and escaping from the threat alive.

I’m also working on a lot of art, both related to Eddsworld and not. I’ll be finishing it up soon and I’m excited for you guys to see it! I have well over ten pieces in progress right now, so expect a huge art dump soon. Admittedly, the majority fanart I have is related to Eddsworld. Still a special interest. Still unable to draw fanart for much else. The other fanart is Devil May Cry 3 stuff.

On to some news! Next month, as some of you might know, is my birth month. As such, I might not be as active, especially around the 22nd, which is my actual birthday. While I’m not much of a party person, I do use this time to spend more time around my friends and family and less time working or messing around on the net. Now, the COVID-19 outbreak might change this, but being with my family and friends will still be my top priority. Now, I used to find birthdays weird. You celebrate going around the sun. But after finally defeating my suicidal thoughts and desires, I’ve realized why we celebrate them. It’s not a celebration of going around the sun, it’s a celebration of living. You lived that long, it’s time to reward you with presents, cake, ice cream, cola and your favourite dinner. Also possible waffles drowning in butter, almond butter and maple syrup for breakfast. And a movie marathon of your favourite zombie flicks to ride out the plague of the 21st century. Groovy.

tl;dr, I have a lot planned, but it may take a while and also the fangame for Eddsworld might be cancelled due to graphical issues.
