As We Are Approaching The End Of Stage One, I Decided That I Would Put A Poll Together To Help With The

has gastor even done scans of the fallen children bones? and has papyrus ask for a copy for creepy reasons?

Good question! I’d say yes Gaster has, but Papyrus hasn’t yet found them. He’ll be in for a pleasant surprise once he does. Just the simple image of little bones (even dead ones) will bring him back to the first time he watched that cygnet twirl.

We are finally getting started on the comic! Long time coming.

For those interested, the page dimensions are 6''x9'' inches with about a 0.5-inch border. This is standard sizing for a printed trade book. We can play around with different dimensions for spreads (likely 12''x9'' inches). Tumblr appears to favor print sizes over the typical webcomic scroll.

Any thoughts on the font used so far? On the page layout? I likely will not include comic sans/papyrus typefaces when the skeleton brothers are talking, though I am on the fence about this. I think it could either be a visual mess or a fun little nod to the game.

Below is the script containing the dialogue on page 1 (and some of page 2).

Post #4 - Ready, Set, Go

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

In the interest of preventing this blog from becoming a place to dump my fanart, I have put together a loose roadmap so I (and you) know what stages are ahead. I will go into more detail in individual posts a little later. 

Starting off, I obviously need a story. I have an idea of what I want this first chapter to be, (and when speaking only in terms of the comic, the first chapter is what mainly matters) but it’s the finer details that are still lost on me. 

What AU will I use? Will the story be a sequel or a reboot? Should the different resets factor into this fanfic, or should Papyrus be a pedo from his very inception? 

For the sake of not complicating matters too much, I will ignore these questions, (bad idea, I know) and instead the above roadmap will only focus on the skeletal structure (heh) of the fanfic. We’re building the foundation of the world, establishing characters in relation to each other, throwing in a bit of foreshadowing for later, and that will be about it. We’ll consider the meat and potatoes as the story develops further, and that will be beyond the comic.

What joy plotting can be.

are their any plans to show off other projects like the salt circle then just fawn related things?

Sorry I’m answering this super late. Tumblr is a bit wonky with the notifications after I turned off the follower alerts (I have been getting back to back bots flooding my notifications that it just became tiresome to block them all).

Will I expand to other projects? I have been thinking about it. It would be a lot of fun to draw the comparisons between the different Sans, Papyri, and Frisks/Charas. I’d also love to showcase the island and the odd infrastructure found within. I’m currently in a mood for experimentation, and I plan to release a blog post soon that will explore the different cultural aesthetics I wish to visually represent in my Undertale stories.

So! Will I expand? As of right now, I don’t know. I need to prove to myself that I can get this project done. If I reach that goal I’d be more than willing to move onto sketches and renditions for The Salt Circle. It would even be fun to recreate a chapter or two in comic form.

Post #26 - Happy Halloween!

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

In this artwork we have future Frisk in different clown costumes—or maybe it's the attire of the cult, but honestly, what's the difference? Badum tss!

And we have reached the end of October! It has been an eventful month for writing. I managed to write over 30k words between 2 fics and 8 chapters! Unfortunately, most of the art goals haven't been met. I will make up for that though!

Soon I will be releasing a larger post explaining the future of FAWN and any related stories, but for now, I'm going to give my brain (and creative fingers) a bit of a break.

Post #24 - Lugubriousity Rewrite

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

First, I want to thank everyone for such warm reception for the last page of chapter one of FAWN. Seeing all the reblogs and likes just lit up my whole week.

Now onto the topic of this blog. As I was reading through Lugubriousity to prepare for the next chapter of the comic, I realized just how sloppy the story is. Yes, I know this very fact is the reason I started this project in the first place, but I feel so compelled to just clean things up, make it better. That’s what I’m currently doing. I will be releasing a PDF containing the first part of the story soon, before moving onto the second part, and lastly the third part sometime afterwards. I already wrote three new chapters for the beginning of part one, and I’m in the process of editing the rest to create a more comprehensive narrative.

The characters are going to have personalities much closer to canon, the setting of the Underground is more expanded and complex, and I will hopefully rid the fic of its many plot holes. Oh! And it’s no longer told in the Underfell universe, but a standalone one uniquely for Lugubriousity/FAWN. All previous tags still apply, so major content warning. I’m excited to get this out for readers to enjoy.

These 3 PDFs will be the new “canon” narrative that the comics will draw from.

That doesn’t mean I will be taking down the original, no not at all! It will stay up on Ao3 for all to read and enjoy, and in order for me to track my writing progress.

Now I have a question for you guys; should I upload the rewrite to Ao3, or only stick with the PDF copies that anyone can pass around and do with as they wish (beyond sell since I believe that is illegal for fanfiction)?

Post #8 - Pink Elephants

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

This post is about two days late, but I have a good excuse for that; work, work, work. Now that I'm on a bit of a holiday break I can see about returning to daily posts, or at least getting the next scene out in a timely manner.

Beyond work holding me up, I binged the latest season of The Handmaid’s Tale yesterday. I wanted to say that it could serve as a great resource for this story, but I don't want this fanfic to be anywhere near as hopeless as that show. I love it, but its total misery porn, and a person can only handle so much misery before it starts to effect their mental health. So Fawn will take some inspiration from the mentioned while following a more heartening tone.

We have the concept for scene four above. Papyrus will come downstairs with his shirt buttoned, lace up his boots, and remind Sans not to be late for his million side jobs (or complain about something equivalent depending on the AU). He’ll leave, and Sans will continue with his slacking off. The television will be on, we get a shot of a ballerina taking a bow, as Sans snorts, smokes, or injects Dust in somewhere or another. 

All of the finer details of this scene will really depend on the AU we choose. I didn't think it would be such a hindrance, but its turning out to be one. What I do know is that Sans drug addiction is fundamental to the story just like Papyrus’ pedophilia, so it honestly doesn't matter what we ultimately settle with. Sans will still be a junky. 

I checked on my stats today to find I now have over 20 followers! It was just last week that I was celebrating 10. I want to thank everyone for sticking through with this so far. I hope to keep it up until the very end of the project.
