#dstart

A young man sits underneath the tree of his new residence. He is waiting for someone who will never come. He wont admit to himself he’s waiting, and he wont admit that he already knows he isn’t coming.

He still waits.

Your name is Tommy. You used to have capitals consistently and constantly peppering the sections of your story. But lately you barely have the energy to keep the syntax you’re known for. 

It’s early in exile. You miss your home

You find it’s starting to get hard to care anymore.

Hello everyone!

DSTART is opening up artist and scribe applications!!!

“Okay, what’s DSTART?”

DSTART is a project that is trying to codify and adapt the entirety of the Dream SMP into a webcomic format, wherein there is a panel followed by transcripted text. If you have read Homestuck, it is basically just that format.

“Neat! How much time do I have to put into this?”

A bit! We are looking for people who have quite a bit of free time and want to do stuff like this. We will be on average asking you to do 2-4 min bits of transcription done in a week if you are a scribe, and currently there are assignments for artists to nail down the style that ask for lines, coloring, and shading (in a rather simplified style though!).

“Cool, so what do the artists do?”

Artists are in charge of art for the panels!!! We need both foreground and background artists, examples will be provided in the application form.

“What do the scribes do?”

Scribes are given timestamps to transcript (ex: 10:34-13:32)!! There are specific rules when it comes to formatting that you will be given once you actually join the server!!

“Great! Where do I apply? How many applicants are you looking for?”

We are looking for six scribes and ten artists!!! We will be closing applications once we have met that requirement.

Here is the scribe’s application form!!!

Here is the artist’s application form!!!

We hope to see you there!!!!
