Hi everyone.
The Chapter 3 update is the biggest in terms of wordcount, and frankly, it's also the most disappointing and depressing update ever.
I've included a whole bunch of secrets (complete with a guide), new character art, hidden links and references to IAC... all in an effort to get a crumb of interaction.
It's been a week now, and besides a few survey responses and bug reports, I've received virtually ZERO asks here in Tumblr, or comments in the forum thread about what happened in Chapter 3 itself.
I'm not gonna lie. I'm very much tempted to keep future updates limited access. Because why share it publicly when I get ZERO engagement anyway? If every sneak peek, new idea or even a whole NEW UPDATE I have is met with silence, I might as well keep it private.
If you all want the next update to stay public, please, please send me some asks. About the update, the plot, the characters (including spoilers about IAC), your favorite scenes, anything really. Go ahead and tell me how stupid or dumb my story and characters are.
I don't want any praises or compliments, I want to talk about my story. That's how DDWCaPH! came to be today. Without me talking to other people, this story might have been long forgotten at the bottom of my documents folder.
I'm not overreacting here. The same thing happened when I first updated Chapter 2 as well. I expected this to happen. Doesn't make it hurt any less.
Tell me, am I asking for a lot here? Because seeing all these other IFs that I also adore get comments even without an update, and me getting none when I worked hard for it even while I was sick multiple times, I don't feel like I exist.
So much for writing a slice-of-life story.
the girlies, the girly girls
uhg life has been so busy n stressful lately, this is all ive got atm.
ive been working on a proto viktor design for a couple of days now n i have so many thoughts on it - just hate how people will just copy n paste lol viktor or make him an overly sexy, streamlined n well designed cyborg man when he wouldn't ,, look like that ?? be creative!! make him look clunky and vile !! that's like half the fun of proto viktor.
Listen...I was already gay but the way you draw Haley makes me even more homosexual 👌👌👌

With the recent influx of more Twitter refugees from dsmptwt I think now is the best time to remind people:
Likes on tumblr act as a bookmarking function. There is no algorithm here. Reblogs are the only way a post will get shared, and the only way a blog can grow. The tumblr fandom may be more chill than twitter but its much harder for fanarts and analyses to circulate if you don't reblog their stuff.
If you're on mobile you can use the fast-reblog option! Hold down on the reblog button of a post, then move your finger to the icon of whichever one of your blogs you want to reblog it to:
It's quick, simple, and super easy so if you aren't already doing that then I highly recommend you do so!!
[Edit: and as mentioned by ppl in the tags, the shortcut is e + reblog button on desktop 👍]
