PRODUCTION UPDATE!

yoirussianzine:

Greetings,
our dear followers!

Mod Mche is here to say we’re still alive and the project is
living. And we owe you an explanation, how is the production going. Rather I,
as the main mod, owe you it.

To sum up,
everything is still in the process, we’re just incredibly slow and I was afraid
to let our audience know that we need more time for production.

Now let’s
get into detail.

Keep reading

It will be worth the wait, ohhhhhhh man, trust me. ??

Hello! I have a fic rec for your monthly list! In the spirit of MerMay, there’s a really cute merman AU that’s actually getting updated almost every other week! It’s called Saltwater Melodies by LinneaKou, located on AO3 works/12155436 and the writer is super active on Tumblr and Twitter. It only has 211 kudos, but it’s at 10 chapters and still going!

Mila looked back and forth at both of them, mouth flapping silently. “How?” she finally asked.

“We have no idea,” Viktor said. “Probably magic.”

“Magic is not real,” Chris sputtered.

“Sure looks real to me,” Yuri said.

After falling into a magical lagoon during a once-in-a-lifetime eclipse, music students Viktor, Mila, and Yuri find themselves transforming into merfolk whenever they touch water… and considering that they live on the coast, that’s probably going to cause some trouble. Things get even weirder when they discover strange powers that may have bigger effects on their daily lives than they could ever imagine.

Add to the mix a thalassophobic pianist, a marine biologist (possibly cryptozoologist) who might actually be completely insane, and a treasure-hunting Canadian… one thing’s for sure: their lives sure just got a whole lot more interesting.

thoughts: from time to time i’ll click on a fic and i’ll settle down to read it and it will feel more like i’m reading a book than a fic adn i can’t quite put my finger on why that is but this fic is definitely that type of fic. i think it’s probably the fact that it is VERY well written! i kinda get a very YA vibe from it in the literal best way possible. the pacing is really good and do not get me started on the world building. the world building is pHENOMENAL.

and i think this is honestly one of those treasures in fandom that you don’t come upon very often and i encourage legitimately EVERYONE to jump in on it. even if you arent super into victuuri because one of the absolutely fantastic things about this fic is that its not ABOUT victuuri. relationships are there but the main action is focused on the main trio: victor, mila and yura, who suddenly find themselves turned into mermaids!! and them figuring out how it works and trying to adapt and discover what happened!!!

and all your faves are here. it doesnt matter who your fave is they are HERE, and all the characters are SO! WELL! DEVELOPED! and integrated in the world building so well!!! it’s fantastic! it’s breathtaking! i’m literally begging you right now to give this a trybecause the fact that it isn’t getting more attention is a disgrace for humanity.

the only warning i should give is that yuuri has really bad anxiety but also he has vicchan with him who is a little companion dog with his good lil red vest and that is phenomenal and adorable and that something was up with victor. I Don’t Know What and i am worried for who mightve hurt my son but theres mentions of him not eating well and rehab so idk how to warn for that in case its triggering to anybody.

and let me tell you how amazingly REFRESHING it is that victor has good parents who love him and adore him and are super sweet bc i get tired of him having terrible parents and in this he doesnt!!!!! the main trio’s families of ocs are also really well developed!! its! amazing!!!

and on top of ALL OF THIS they are MUSICIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW COOL IS THAT!!!!!!!!! little yura plays the violin!!!! victor and yuuri both play the piano!!!!! mila dances!!!!!! its AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

gosh i have a lot of love for this au i just read it in one sitting and i am ABSOLUTELY looking forward for the rest and honestly i feel like yall are missing out by not jumping on this train so if you have a moment to spare absolutely please do!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it! is! so! good!!!!!

send me a fic | other submited recs

I 1000% agree with this recommendation!!!

Oh man, guys, I really like this book I’ve written.

I had to reread that because I have never seen a writer say that ever and as a writer I envy you.

WHAT

There are so many comments on this post to this effect.

Dude! writers, artists, do what you need to do to gain objectivity and feel satisfaction for what you’ve done!

Art as pain and pain as art and the Eternal Dissatisfaction of the Poignant Creator™ is so 19th century. 

Creating the art you wish you could see in the world but don’t, and then being fucking PSYCHED when you’ve done it™ is very 2018.

My love for this post tripled when I noticed who the op is.

Holy shit thats Maggie stiefvater
