Needleminder

It's a work of art by me, so I guess it goes here, right?

Synopsis
Weird dude is stuck inside his own head, forever.

It's been my interest since I started this to allow readers to talk about the story, ask questions, theorize, etc. But chatrooms develop inner/outer circles, and social media is a free-for-all fandom space, both of which are just too awkward for me. I think this is the best equal-footing environment I could imagine!

[brilokuloj]

So I'm hopefully publishing an update... tomorrow? Ish? Time has been really weird for me right now. I think this one is going to be a Silly page because writing for Alice has been making me feel vaguely nauseous and I miss Alex my beautiful afraid of hot dogs guy

[huckleton]

oh i just realized all of the images have title text. seems like a good opportunity as any to reread the whole thing from the beginning again

[brilokuloj]

Most of them! At one point in floor 7 I just forgot for a pretty big stretch because I was exhausted, but I played it off. It will probably happen again.

I love chances to share Fun Facts like this: the image title-text is comments from Xander, and the individual page titles (currently only viewable through Archive; sometimes they note updates, sometimes they just note pages I found interesting) are from Josie 2. A lot of the site is commented by Josie 2 actually, the YELLING.

finished reread in an hour and a half. very glad the images have alt text too bc my internet connection sucks

[brilokuloj]

Oh, I'm glad to hear it! I've been trying to make the alt text a feasible substitute that matches the tone of the narration, not just a raw image description. A lot of the time with stuff like this I try to think, if someone's "missing out", how can I give them their own experience...

[brilokuloj]

I have some stuff I've saved because they made me think of the characters, so I went through to share some here, but I didn't save this one off-site, and uh

1. I don't remember what this post originally had in it
2. this might be way better than whatever it was?

Needleminder update: PASTA RONI (silly page)

I never imagined I would cross over my YTP worldbuilding into a serious project but here we fucking are

[brilokuloj]

I had a dream that there was a meme video of a raptor saying "I'm dead" in a creepy whispering voice and people were sending it to me saying that it reminded them of Needleminder <3
