Mod Note

[yuuago]

Mod box is here, drop a comment there if you have any questions/issues. Or you can reply to this comment.

New Rule: SSSS update commentary should go in the relevant thread for the chapter. Commentary posted outside the specific chapter threads will be moved to the correct place. This is to keep everything organized.

New clarification: It wasn't spelled out before, but this entire post is considered Not Rated in addition to CNTW. This is because it can be kind of hard to filter out NSFW material, considering how things are formatted here.

Chapter 14

[(Anonymous)]

Final wrap-up commentary on Ch14. Info page should be appearing on March 06. Any thoughts?

Re: Chapter 14 - Info page

[(Anonymous)]

This one is going to be a double. I don't have any idea what it might be. Runes? Ghost-related information?

Re: City of Hunger Thread

[yuuago]

I like the menu mock-up in the most recent blog entry.
http://www.hummingfluff.com/?id=devlog&postin=7
I wonder if the final will look similar, or if there'll be major changes.

Mostly I've been skimming and just looking at the concept art, and not reading the discus comments, so - does anyone know if she mentioned anywhere whether the game will be free or not? I'll play it either way, but it'd be helpful to know.

I am loving that mosquito... thing. Whatever it is. The others are neat, but the mosquito looks so oddly elegant.

Re: City of Hunger Thread - Update + concept art

Not many details on the update side, except that things are progressing. But take a look at that illustration, wow! *_* Hmm, looks like that might be Mikkel in the foreground there? Unsure if any of the other figures are from our crew. But wow, that fishtank, I love it.

She says it's a preview, so I'm assuming it'll be part of a larger thing.
Either way, it looks neat.

Re: Fests & Exchanges - PBAM 2017

[yuuago]

Prompting for the most recent Porn Battle over at pbam is closed now, but filling is open until March 15th. There were a handful of aRTD and SSSS prompts... might be something fun to do during the chapter break, perhaps?

You can find the prompts in the O-S list here (you'll need to scroll or ctrl+f for them). Filling post is here. Anon posting is allowed but not required.

Re: Fests & Exchanges - All In The Family

[elleth]

A fest for family relationships: http://familyex.dreamwidth.org/ Plenty of SSSS families so far, as well as a handful of aRTD ones (more to come; mine are waiting to go through).

If anyone has requests, I've still got four slots for SSSS and seven for aRTD.

[yuuago]

nightonficmountain is a fic and art exchange for rare fandoms. Fandoms have to have under 500 works on Ao3 in English over 1k words in order to be eligible. You can nominate by / or & relationships.

This might be the last year that SSSS is eligible. And of course aRTD applies.

Tag set is here, collection is here. Schedule: here.

Re: Fests & Exchanges - WIP BigBang

[elleth]

Might be of interest to some people here? Copypasting the announcement:

Join us at WIP Big Bang!

This is a Big Bang with one goal in mind: to clean out your drafts folder. These are stories that were unfinished for whatever reason, that authors returned to and completed, and the art that goes with them! All fandoms welcome!

Sign up March 24th though April 7th and Finish Your Sh**!

Re: Fests & Exchanges - Raremaleslashex

Re: Fests & Exchanges - SSSSForum aRTD Week & Exchange

[yuuago]

Putting this here for completeness sake -

The SSSSForum will be having an aRTD themed fanwork week starting June 18th. Details for that here: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=961.0

And there is also an aRTD fic/art exchange; signups are open until May 21st. Fic minimum length is 500 words. Details here: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=962.0

Obviously, you need to be a member of the forum in order to join either of these.

I probably will not be participating in this one for a variety of reasons. But perhaps it will interest some others.

Didn't want to spoil what this chapter is about, so you just get the...mood of it. And I've decided to resume the updates this Friday instead on Monday.

So, where do we go from here?

SSSS Book 2

[(Anonymous)]

^Everything related to Book 2 and the upcoming kickstarter.

Re: SSSS Book 2

[yuuago]

Yes, the time is approaching: work has begun to organize a Kickstater for printing SSSS book 2, with the help of the kind folks over at Hiveworks. That's why this chapter break is going to be about a week longer than usual, I have a lot of work that needs to be done for that. First I'll be prepping all the pages for book 2 for print (fix margins, adjust colors to be okay for printing etc),then drawing the cover and a bunch of rewards so the good people at Hiveworks can start setting up the Kickstarter. So no dates or anything yet, tons of prep work to be done, but the wheels are in motion. I know a lot of you have been waiting for it!*

Good to have a bit more information, even if we don't have a solid date yet.

The previous crowdfunding campaign reached all stretch goals. Hopefully this one will as well. I expect it'll happen.

I wonder what the stretch goals will be this time around? Bookmark, new print set, and new extra comic, probably. But what else?
