Little Did They Know

by djchika

Rating: Explicit
Pairing: Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes
Additional Tags: stranger than fiction AU, Magical Realism, Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - No Powers
Summary:
Art imitates life and life imitates art. Steve Rogers life is chronicled by, New York Times best-selling author, Nick Fury. The problem is, he's the only one who can hear him.

Not knowing who the disembodied voice is, Steve rushes to prove he’s not crazy, ignore his feelings for his best friend, Bucky, and avoid what the voice says is his ‘imminent death’.

My second SAUBB submission is here! It's for a Stranger Than Fiction AU by djchika! :)

RBB art preview slides is now open for the authors to see!
This is my very first RBB, so I am both equal nervous and excited. This semi-anonymity made me wonder if my style is even recognizable at all tho. I feel like I haven't produced enough for this fandom for people to recognize my (admittedly inconsistent) art style

Happy browsing for all the authors! Hope the best bunnies hop into your brain ;)

Sidereal chapter 2

by girlbookwrm

Chapter 2 of sidereal is now live!
In which the Angst intensifies (and so does the fluff)

For this chapter I made a comic! (warning: the resolution is kinda... big and long)
Kudos for girlbookwrm for letting me making this scene and for actually writing this into her fic

Summary:

“…The modern viewer must remember that prior to the 1960s, soulmark portraits were the ultimate in taboo. But one can see how an artist like Captain Rogers would feel compelled to pick up his sketchbook…

...Captain Rogers never did a self-portrait; we can only speculate who his soulmate — or soulmates — might have been."

-- Franklin, Hannah. “Howling Commandos Leave their Mark in Portrait Series by Captain America.” Newsweek, July 9, 2009.

My first SAUBB art post! for the first chapter of girlbookwrm's Soulmark AU—In which all the Howling Commandos had different soulmarks in the exact same spot, Nat's is a mystery, Sam has Riley’s soulmark tattooed beside his own..

And Steve and Bucky have exact matching soulmarks—until they don’t anymore.

The fic has 3 chapters in total, and it will be updated every Sunday! Read for your healthy dose of shmappy fluffy soulmate AU with a shot of angst.

I've been lurking around most of my time here. Beside because of various IRL stuffs and Big Bang deadlines piling on top of each other, I also got highly intimidated by all the dev talks around here. I can barely speak and write English, I feel like everyone's speaking yet another language! 😂

I'm sorry I can't contribute much into building and designing the architecture of this new home, please know that I'm just skulking around the corner, in the shadow, silently popping out my pompoms for everyone. Meanwhile, I sketched a Steeb! In high-waisted pants and bandeau top, based on a prompt on my CuriousCat. If you have any prompts for me to sketch, drop me a message (can we PM in here?) or an ask on my CuriousCat! I might just draw some of them whenever I need a warm-up prompt! :)

Invitation to contribute to a collab gdoc on How to Do Basic Stuff in Hubzilla (for non-tech newbies like most of us!)
Come and chip in with how you personally Do Things :)

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wK0M9YGozUqFVJInSVlQPZgXCpxJQ-Ou0Juvyy4jUs0/edit?usp=sharing

OK I've spoken to lovely @imp and I'm going to start corralling a basic guide of SUPER basic stuff for people coming to Hubzilla, and I mean super basic, like, how to follow people., how to set cover photo, how to comment, how to see an equivalent of dash/stream/TL, how to post images, how to do basically everything. The built-in Hubzilla help guide is a bit opaque and also not designed in quite the most user-friendly way. My thought is:

Step 1. We set up a collab gdoc to even discuss HOW we do each thing, because I suspect there are multiple ways and some may be more efficient than others. We advertise far and wide and hopefully people all flesh it out and it becomes Awesome.

Step 2, after the above is vaguely coherent then we can up-vote the strategies people use/find most helpful.

Step 3, Visually adept people (Imp offered) can screentogif/screenshot visual directions on the most upvoted strategies.

Step 4, it can all be slapped into a Hubzilla wiki, for ease of access.

So the first 6 hours with Hubzilla has been one of the most comfortable first 6 hours I've had with novel social media. It has all the basic features that made me squeal in glee.

Some stuff that I personally still wish we have:
- The ability to share someone else's picture straight from the gallery
- The ability to upload multiple pictures at once i.e if I want to upload my comic without having to make multiple albums for different comic
- Tagging and captioning picture upon uploading so I don't have to edit each picture, but I suppose the "tagging" here does not have the same searchability as tumblr
- Getting notification when a mutual mention our @ in other people's post that is not in our connection (I just realised this when I was browsing around and saw my user mentioned in a non-mutual post, but I didn't get the notification)

Most of these came into my mind from the standpoint of an (occasional) artist who still don't have an audience. But also it might be because I haven't dicked around the site much so I haven't found these features yet?

What about you guys, how's your stay so far here? /stir my hot chocolate and settle in my comfy couch/

Well this is what I mean--like, already, I can see how this will do everything I could want, even though it's not all here yet (and the people are certainly not all here yet.) But already I like the potential for interoperability, and for art and vids. I can see myself doing my fic announcements here, or even flashfic or challenges, and it makes me feel good to know that I don't ever have to lose touch with the 50 people who I have on my stream--that if I build that network, I can keep it. This isn't an archive but we HAVE an archive; this is a social network and it can interface with an archive and also with various other audio/visual p2p hosting options. I'm already pretty happy here! (also we can make forums! there are so many other things we could do.)

daphneblithe

Mon, 28 Jan 2019 15:27:20 -0600

It is astonishingly capable isn't it? IAnd honestly I wouldn't be surprised if there are ways to do those other things as well. It's a bit tricky to find all the stratagems, but since apps can be added it can do even more than we keep thinking, I think.

So this is a very strange experience. A completely new social media, a literal blank canvas?

This is a land of no culture. Do I just chipper endlessly like on twitter? Or would that be considered uncouth? Or do I make a more refined, well-thought out post like on journals or forums? How would this format affect fandom artists; do we put everything on our gallery or do we host our images elsewhere? How will it fare in terms of visibility to build audience? So many questions. But all hopeful nonetheless.

cesperanza

Mon, 28 Jan 2019 07:09:13 -0600

Impertinence is hosting this, but you control your profile and if you decide you don't like us, you can take your whole network and move and still be here but hosted by someone else. Other fans are in the process of spinning up instances.

Mon, 28 Jan 2019 07:27:12 -0600

oh perfect - it's more worried about hosting costs and stupidly big gifs and images, we can overdo this in a second!

verbalatte

Mon, 28 Jan 2019 07:29:19 -0600

@cesperanza thank you for the clarification! I think I fairly understand the basis of how this works now; nomadic in a sense that we carry our fandom baggage with us everwyhere. Though, sorry if this is a stupid question, does that mean we can only be in one instance at a time?

cesperanza

Mon, 28 Jan 2019 08:00:22 -0600

@verbalatte No, I think (??) you can be on more but I think its more like you wouldn't want to be? I think the idea of people finding us is that we have a basically stable identity that our network and stuff collects around. Your feed is central to you and lets you bring in stuff from around the federation.

@SulaSafeRoom I think that the goal is normally to keep things on the smallish side and interoperate--the instance gives you indicators of its health and actually warns you when it's getting big. A bunch of small interlocking servers is the model; we've been calling it a fleet. :D So far imp has given us the go ahead but this is really mostly a sort of test--other fans are working on getting their ships off the ground, so to speak, and you can go and live on any one that invites you. You can also make instances with different rules or for different fandoms--I could see a lot of ways it could work. So right now you've joined the federation and you're on the good captain Imp's ship! :D . We're all just playing with the controls but I already like it enough that I'm giving it a go.

verbalatte

Mon, 28 Jan 2019 08:10:19 -0600

@cesperanza yup, that's what I thought too! This is a really good model, though I can imagine choosing the first instance to join would be a big hurdle for new peeps/people who wants to join fandom. This so-called ship we're currenrly in is a great idea since it serves like a landing page for us the fledglings of The Federation 😆

cesperanza

Mon, 28 Jan 2019 08:13:32 -0600

@verbalatte Right, but you can just go from ship to ship. Right now the only thing is that the available ships aren't per se FANDOM ships--this imp ship was made out of our corner of fandom, and I believe fandom.ink on mastedon was too, but the other ships--you know, they're open source people, or coders, or--you know, there could be bad ships you don't want to be on! I'm sure that there are--you know, fucking criminals, too! though that's not the fault of the platform. It's just that anyone who wants to be off the commercial internet might be here. I myself want to stay in fandom only spaces as much as I can, so I'm here, but there are fans working to get other instances up and then you know, go to the Buffy ship or whatever, go the ship of podcasters, IDK! but you can still be networked with me if I'm on here or on a ship with my besties or a stucky ship or whatever.

@verbalatte This is my sincerest hope! The plus that I'm so attracted to is that if you collect a bunch of people--you get your group of 500 fans together who you want to stay connected to or whatever--you don't ever have to lose that network even if you decide to move instances; you and your group stay wired together. And if they choose any federated platform that's true.
