4th Annual Ren-Fair goes Galactic

As the sun began to set over the picturesque landscape of Sweet Apple Acres, I made my way towards the fourth annual Ren-Fair, excited to see what the event had in store for me this year. As a unicorn, I am always eager to attend such festivities, as the equines of this land are known to go all out when it comes to dressing up and having a good time.

As I approached the entrance to the fairgrounds, I couldn't help but notice the vibrant colors and lively music that filled the air. This year's Ren-Fair was certainly living up to its reputation, with performers and vendors alike putting on their best show for the crowds.

I soon made my way to the center of the fairgrounds, where I was greeted by none other than Lyra HeartStrings, the Bard of Yaketian and founder of this wonderful event. Lyra was decked out in her signature green and gold outfit, strumming her lyre and singing a lively tune to the delight of the crowd.

As I made my way around the fairgrounds, I couldn't help but notice the vast array of costumes on display. From knights and princesses to pirates and fairies, it seemed as though everyone had come out to play their part in this grand spectacle.

However, as the day wore on, tensions began to rise between the Space-Pew-Trek fans and the more traditional Ren-Fair attendees. The latter group felt that the space enthusiasts were disrupting the historical authenticity of the event with their futuristic costumes and gadgets. Things took a turn for the worse when rumors began to circulate that the Space-Pew-Trek fans were practicing witchcraft and other dark arts.

At first, the Space-Pew-Trek fans seemed to be simply enjoying the Ren-Fair like everyone else, taking part in the various games and activities on offer. However, as the day wore on, it became apparent that the conflict of interest between the space and old-timey feel. This did not sit well with the other fairgoers, who saw the Space-Pew-Trek fans as disrupting the harmony of the Ren-Fair with their outlandish behavior. Matters soon escalated when the Space-Pew-Trek fans were accused of practicing “The dark Arts” by some of the more pretend superstitious members of the crowd.

What followed was a battle of epic proportions, as the Space-Pew-Trek fans and their opponents took to the fairgrounds armed with foam-tipped bows and plastic swords. The dragons, which had been made out of cardboard and foam, became embroiled in the conflict as well, their foam-tipped claws flailing about as they engaged in mock combat. Though one would be admist to see the real dragon who was having a blast using a water balloon trebuchet in the back lines.

It was a truly surreal experience, watching as people dressed in medieval garb and sci-fi costumes alike engaged in a battle that could only be described as otherworldly. And yet, amidst all the chaos and confusion, there was a sense of camaraderie and togetherness that I found truly heartwarming.

In the end, the conflict was resolved when Lyra HeartStrings stepped in and used her music to calm the warring factions. She reminded everyone that the Ren-Fair was meant to be a celebration of fantasy and imagination, and that there was no need for anyone to feel threatened or excluded.

As the day drew to a close and the sun began to set once more, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder at the spectacle that had just unfolded before my eyes. The 4th annual Sweet Apple Acres Ren-Fair had certainly

Terrible Visions

A scrambled timeline is a timeline that has proceeded much like ours, except that some particular facet has been mixed up all over the place. For example, in the scrambled timeline we will consider today, our world's fictional stories have been told by different people, and in different ways.

Bryan Lee O'Malley, in this alternate timeline, is best known as the cartoonist responsible for Homestuck, a popular comic series about a group of children who become embroiled in a cosmic-scale video game known as Sburb. Although Homestuck is probably most often associated with the cult classic Edgar Wright-directed film adaptation released in 2016, the comics themselves are highly-regarded, and the film brought a new audience to them. Netflix has commissioned an animated continuation, The Homestuck Epilogues, which is due to be released soon.

Andrew Hussie, on the other hand, is a figure you're likelier to know if you're overly online. His "MS Paint Adventures" series - most notably including Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, which is kind of like Homestuck but weirder and hornier - have firmly remained a fixture of obsessive Twitter fandom culture. It doesn't help that the best-known iteration, Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, is infamous for stretching thousands of pages of meandering digressions out of a simple and focused narrative starting point. Scott Pilgrim fans have developed something of a toxic reputation, which is not entirely deserved - although of course Knives discourse is interminable, and back in the fandom's heyday there were reportedly incidents of fans assaulting each other "for being evil exes".

Scott Pilgrim fandom was very big back in the day, though, and consequently it was a nexus for other creative figures who would go on to surpass Hussie. Perhaps foremost among these is indie developer Toby Fox. He was literally living in Hussie's basement when he produced ROSEQUARTZ, a universally-beloved retro Goonies-like RPG about a human hybrid boy born to a race of gem-based aliens. He's now developing an episodic spiritual successor, RAZORQUEST, with more overtly dark themes. It revolves around an inheritance dispute among a demon-summoning family.

Other foundational figures in this timeline's internet culture include Alison Bechdel, who helped get the webcomic scene started. Although she's now more seriously acclaimed for her personal memoirs, her gaming webcomic Press Start To Dyke, which premiered in 1998, was once everywhere. It had a broad appeal, and at its height, it was common to see even straight guys sharing pages from it. Time has not been especially kind to it, though, and at this point its main legacy is test.png, a meme spawned by one of the comic's most ill-advised pages.

Then there's John C. McCrae, more often known by his pseudonym Wildbow. A prolific and reclusive author of doorstopping "web serials" - long-form fiction published online - McCrae's best-known serial is still his first, Wind, a noir superhero story set in an alternate history where capes are mostly just a subculture of unpowered vigilantes. Wind landed in a culture already rife with comic book deconstructions, like Alan Moore's 2002 graphic novel Worm Turns, but it nonetheless managed to stand out from the pack with its extensive cast of characters and its themes of coordination problems and the end of the world. Later McCrae web serials include Part (the first "Otherverse" serial; an urban fantasy story about a couple who die in a car accident and find that they have become ghosts), Tear (a "biopunk" story set in a collapsing underwater city), Warn (the controversial Wind sequel), and Play (the second "Otherverse" serial, set in a small Indiana town that helps hide a psychic girl from the CIA).

Last and perhaps least, we should discuss J. K. Rowling. Far and away the most famous of any of these authors, Rowling's name is inseparable from the YA series that she debuted with, the Luz Noceda books, which remain her one successful work. Although it was heavily derivative of older fantasy novels - like Jill Murphy's Academy For Little Witches, or Philip Pullman's Methods Of Rationality trilogy - Luz Noceda was still a monumental and unprecedented success in the publishing industry, and the film adaptations were consistent blockbusters. The final book, Luz Noceda and the Watcher of Rain, contained some allusions to a romantic relationship between Luz and her recently-redeemed associate Amity. Rowling confirmed that this was her intent in subsequent interviews and indicated that she had fought her publishers for it; the film would then go on to escalate matters slightly further.

There have been many lengthy and heated online arguments as to whether the references in the book itself constitute text or mere subtext. Whatever your stance on this discourse, a new complication has been introduced recently: although she has put out no official statement on the matter as of yet, it has become quite apparent from Rowling's shrinking network of contacts and her conspicuous silences that she is certainly TERF-sympathetic, and likely an outright TERF herself. For many, this is leading to a critical reevaluation of the social values inherent in the Luz Noceda series; others, to say the least, are holding off on that kind of reappraisal.

Anyway, Scott Pilgrim just beat Luz Noceda in a Twitter poll for Most Gay Media, and people are piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissed
