because I've got no one to hyperfixate with me.

So, when I started this I knew I was putting out a play through fic and there were TONS already in existence so I wanted to do something ✨original✨ but sometimes the traditional method really is the one that works.
Now that I'm onto TGD2, I'm realizing that I've pigeonholed myself. I have so many things I want to flash to or bring light on that I just can't in 1st POV.
Also, in rereading some older work, I realized my strengths really are in 3rd.
SO: we are under construction until I've adjusted.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS READ THE WHOLE OF THE GRAND DESIGN AS IS! YOU ARE AMAZING AND I'M SO THANKFUL FOR YOU.
The plan is to keep it the same, just swapping out the pronouns and adding a few "introspective" lines. The story in whole and details released will be the same. There MIGHT be a few additional new scenes, but none that will alter the direction if you've already made it to The Grand Disaster.
Once again, thank you all to those who are reading it.
I'll be dropping the whole of the altered version in one go when I'm done editing in Ellipsis.
My final thought on it is this: I get I don’t have to change it, but for artistic integrity, when I know something can be made better, why wouldn’t I make it better?

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
The 2nd installment is here!!!!
The journey continues and the companions really get to see the dark sides of each other.
This time around I won't be posting whole chapters, but rather the first snippet of the chapters. If you want to read them in whole, you can go to Ao3 (guests have access to it!) to read the rest.
I will continue to update the Tags throughout and will keep them updated here too. This story will be much darker, so be aware and mind the tags provided.

Summary:
“Dear Readers,
I, Abbi, always believed alien abduction was plausibly real, but it was for other people. Maybe, aliens like abducting people who are mentally ill so it seems like they’re lying. Maybe, that's why I ended up on the nautiloid. Or maybe, I wasn't supposed to.
Either way, whether by design or by accident, I got to see a world saved. Even if it was technically just a tiny corner of it and not even my own.
Sometimes, it takes just a random group of people motivated to solve the same problem to make a difference, one step at a time. At the behest of my companions, I’m getting my adventure on paper. Sometimes the gods really are listening. And sometimes they're just cunts.
Cheers to the Heroes of Baldur's Gate and, hopefully, we can get a more accurate retelling down since Volo's was — please, don't read it. We didn't have a dragon with us, just a dragonborn."
(This is the 2nd installment of the series, please note the tags! They will also be updated as Chs. drop. They have made it to the Shadow curse and the darkness really does bring it out in everyone.)

Update about this fic:
It is finished! (For now.) Thank you to all who have been here since the beginning and anyone who is jumping into the craziness now!
This has been a wild ride and an amazing personal accomplishment, to have over 200K words written in a year. This is, of course, only Act 1 (book 1 lol), so there is more to come!
Act 2 will only have snippets posted to Tumblr, whole chapters will be available on Ao3.
THANK YOU GUYS! I LOVE YOU ALL!

I have been swamped with working with the team on setting up
The Grand deZine BG3 Villain Zine
Here are some Render's I have been working on. I finally made myself a logo.

Thank you to everyone who responded to the interest check so far! We've been looking through all of your queries so far and will continue to do so as more come in. We would like to address some of the most common questions and concerns that have arisen from your insights. Please bear with us, and keep in mind it isn't always possible to meet everyone's preferences, we're choosing what we feel is the best path forwards for the Zine.
We have a timeline and a set of guidelines so far, but may continue to refine them from here if we need to.
OCs (Including Custom Durge)
I started this idea with inclusivity in mind. BG3 is a game revolving around your OC or Larian's original character(s). There are an amazing and wide variety out there! We will be allowing them, but with guidelines. This Zine is centred on the game's Villains.
When including your OC/Durge/Tav, the Villain should remain the core focus of the piece. This also means we won't be looking to include OC / OC content, as we want to highlight the canon villains of the game that everyone is familiar with. We still encourage you to submit pitches of your OC/Tav/Durge with a canon Villain. For the purposes of this zine, we consider the Canon Default Dragonborn Durge to be a Canon Villain, so you're welcome to ship him with an OC if you would like to
Content Balance
We will be selecting more General Villain content in ratio to pairings; and each pairing will have their/its own slot(s). Example: MM, FM, FF, Other\*, CANON/CANON, Dragonborn Durge/oc.
Trans and nonbinary characters, including trans and nonbinary variants of canon characters, are of course welcome as a part of any applicable category
Regarding Censorship and Permitted Content Types
These are Villains. This is Fiction. We would like to see your creativity at the forefront of your pieces across a wide range of topics and tropes.
That being said for legal reasons we are going to set a hard limit and not allow any Underage Sex (and related content) or Bestiality (content with animal characters) within this Zine.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS GO! EVERYTHING! IF YOU ARE STILL UNCERTAIN, ASK.
Collaborating
We would like to encourage those of you who would like to collaborate on pieces to apply together with your pitches. As this is the team's first Zine project, we're not experienced enough, and don't have the amount of time required, to ensure that everyone who wants to collab can be matched up. Please feel free to use this time to make your plans or reach out to potential collaborators you'd like to work with before applications open!
What Makes A Villain? Who Qualifies?
Being a villain can mean different things to different people, but largely we consider a character to be a villain if they are, or could be, antagonistic towards a good aligned player. We'll be using D&D alignment as a guideline here too.
We understand there may be some disagreements on these decisions, but we ask that you respect the choices we make as we'd rather not get into any lengthy discourse over a fun fictional project!
This is a space for celebrating all the villains in the game and all the different ways they can be portrayed. We are open to them being their worst selves, as well as finding redemption, and everything in between. If you don't like a character or someone's interpretation of them, that's ok! But everyone has a place in this project all the same
There will be check in dates before the final submission dates, and we encourage participants to aim to complete ahead of the deadline so you don't feel too rushed at the end.
Thank You
Thanks for the tags to @the-shadowfell-darkroom @thesanguinesonnet @thecampjuicebox @onlytavs and @litsenn 💕
Sorry if the quality is a bit lacking this time. I completely forgot that I'm leaving for a short vacation tomorrow, so I had to speedrun this tag😭

Saelseris as Prince Edward | Enchanted
At this point, it's pretty much an open secret that Sael's character was heavily inspired by Prince Edward. Unfortunately, I happen to have a serious soft spot for that particular brand of charming goofiness. Also, his darling's name is perfectly singable Giselle style. Kehhmm. NIMRIEEELLLLEEEEE
Obscyr as Scar | The Lion King
This one doesn't really need an explanation, just look at his face. They're a perfect match. He’s surrounded by idiots for sure. It's also my favorite photo from the entire set. 💕
Keith as Prince Eric | The Little Mermaid
It's become a bit of an inside joke between me and @bhaal-battle-beer-bard that Keith is so Prince Eric-coded. I mean, he's charming, he's a dog person, he has less enough brain cells to not recognize his girl, it just fits. Also I kinda developed a habit of turning him into a sculpture, but I'm choosing to blame the dog.
Elysande as Bruno | Encanto
This one is a little random, but picture me lying in bed late at night, half asleep, trying to figure out which character she could be. The very first one that popped into my head was Bruno. Though, I can't deny she'd totally enjoy watching telenovelas performed by tiny rats.
Roy as Maleficent | Maleficent
I really don't have an excuse for this one. I just wanted to see this man with horns and wings. Truly groundbreaking thought process, I know.
Shioban as Esmeralda | The Hunchback of Notre Dame
When I think of Shioban in general, actually I have two characters in my mind: Fatima from From and Esmeralda from THoND. These bohemian beauties both have a warm, gentle strength about them that I always found awesome. So yes, it was an obvious choice. 💕

Look at you. Scrolling post after post without a mind of your own. Like this, reblog that—oh! a bathing kitten. Bah.
Don’t your fingers start to cramp after a while? Does the noise fill the empty hours yet? Do you even remember the last three posts?
Fret not, or rather, do. Because the higher calling is here, and we intend to fill you with a deep, very deep meaning.
Your attention, if you'd be so kind.
The villains of Baldur’s Gate 3 have arrived, here to stay.
We are gauging interest in a little project: a zine, free and digital, devoted entirely to them. True meaning, at last, in this chaotic plane of existence. Three minutes of your time. Barely a pittance, and you were only going to spend it scrolling, weren’t you?
Google Form: tinyurl.com/d6bz587n
Consider it. The kittens will still be there to meow at you when you return, little mouse.
