parallax request
and i do have one huge favor to ask: i need to get my ass in gear on the parallax edits, but my morale in utterly in the crapper
if you've ever cared in the faintest about our little queer space babies, this would be a really really good time to let me know <3
re: parallax request
@Soreth I mean, if Chapter 2-3 ever actually happens, it's gonna be a corker. The plan is basically "1950s alien invasion and conversion, but totally stripped of the Cold War paranoia and replaced with 'um... what if they're still perfectly nice guys and this was a big misunderstanding and the Pod People are still Actual Fucking Characters we care about?'"

@zebratron2084 @Soreth It's a long time since November, 2022, but I'm still interested in Parallax.
When I panic dumped most of my Patreons, I only kept two and one is for that dragon near you.
This particular post here, this sounds great, even better than what I was already expecting from Parallax.
I recall the original idea was two groups of 'good people doing good' who are culturally distant and conflict and see eachother as The Baddies but aren't, and that's still cool
re: parallax request
@relee @Soreth Thank you so much for the support, hun, it means a lot to me! And yeah, it's still definitely going to be that theme of "two camps of well-intentioned people getting stuck deeper in a conflict neither really wanted."
The hope is to push the weirdness level DRAMATICALLY between chapters. One of our major goals is to simulate that feeling of "it's 1989 and you're home from school so you can see all the syndicated anime cartoons on at 3 pm but they play them out of order and you haven't seen an episode of this in years anyhow and WAIT A SECOND WASN'T SHE ON THE OTHER SIDE LAST TIME? AND WHEN DID HE BECOME A ROBOT?!?"
re: parallax request
@zebratron2084 @Soreth Both cultures seem really interesting so I hope you go into them more, along with any they visit. <3
I guess I might not get that if you're TRYING to be confusing. XD
I'm fond of all the stuff you two make. 5 Glasses of Absinthe and Decrypting Rita are both firmly up my alley. Anything new would likely be too. Not just the themes, but the storytelling style too.

Yes! I want to see where the story is going!
re: parallax request
@zebratron2084 It's certainly interesting, given how the concept went from Peggy's sense of humor to a different variation on that, matched with sincere hippy-dippy sentiment. I suspect the hippy-dippy sentiment is very much yours, and editing it would be a fix of staying in touch with that, no?
re: parallax request
@Leucrotta Well, it's more like needing to hit the pavement and actually give it a coherent plot structure. :) Turned out I have a LOT to learn about plotting and pacing... :O
parallax request
@zebratron2084 I really do! Always consider me interested in anything you could be working on <3
parallax request
Yes more weirdo space opera!!
re: parallax request
@zebratron2084 Get your ass in gear so we can see more, we the fans wanna read! ;)
