Hoi, Zaryans, it's me, Zaryan! I'd like to tell you guys I've been working in my free time from college on an Ongezellig adaptation, NOT a fiktie, and I will publish it here once I make some final proofreading, a promotional artwork, and it's cover. It's totally OC, I've been working on it nonstop, and it's been driving me insane ofzo
<leddit 'ace
Here's from my preface for it:
>This work—novelette, fanfic, chamber-piece, literary adaptation of an online web series—whatever it is of zoiets. It doesn’t fit in any of them because that’s the spirit of what I’m adapting from.
I had two premises in mind when it came to an Ongezellig adaptation:
1. What if the Bottle Smack in the Pilot had consequences?
2. How do I make a story out of it?
<'igle 'ogle 'ace
Let me know if you have questions about what it is. I will answer them honestly without spoling much o algugu

No.136591
>>136589i mean i guess it was too vague
No.136595
>>136591it IS too vague nigga
im not even mad that this is what its about. afterall, the entire point of a story is to make you see something from the perspective of someone else, AKA you can write about things that are pretty taboo in order to get an interesting perspective on something, which is good because it gets the reader to question themselves and how they view said taboo
still would've liked for it to be more obvious that it were like this

>>136593>writing about a taboo means that the author supports and/or engages in said tabooreadercux…
No.136597
>>136595Yeah, that's on me. It is a placeholder what's on AO3 after all and I didn't really consider what to really write to sum up the stakes of the work so I just wrote the most basic bullshit. The bottle smack's consequences themselves are so subtle that even in my current manuscript they are just allusions. But now I've found the perfect channel to make this callback.

>>136597the way it’s written now is that mymy is the one who causes the investigation to be launched right? she knew what to say to get the most consequences with the least evidence? and it’s her revenge for being smacked? that was how i interpreted it.
also geg about everyone being shocked that goontaneous’s work is gooning adjacent

No.136701
>>136630It's more of an appendix note than in-narrative material. i already wrote in that she's from marseille, and historically that's where the pieds retreated to. or maybe she's a direct descendant of the pieds born in marseille, then she moves to the netherlands or whatever. i only explored kiki being from algeria in the first place so coco isn't alone on the

>>137316Did you convert my AO3 placeholder into an EPUB? I need to know more what you did
No.137320
>>137319i did, yes. i copy pasted your AO3 pages into a txt filed and told AI to write a python script which extracts only the actual text, extracts footnotes, gives it a sleek design (using html and css) and exports as epub. if you want i can do the same for your current version if you provide it. you can also tell me what changes you would like to see and we can check for errors because this was just a demo i made in maybe an hour or so for fun. the script was this one

>>137321"google ai studio".
if you're worried about the adult content… it mostly doesnt care. ESPECIALLY when you upload a file instead of prompting yourself. the uploaded file can even contain nigger or a shooter's manifesto no problem. you can also upload entire books to it no problem. also technically i didnt "transcribe" it, i used a python script which uses regex to identify footnotes etc. as needed. if you actually do choose to use this and you have little or no experience, it will probably be more annoying than you think. expect it to take some days to get it perfect.
