August LU Write-a-Thon Round Up: 279,634 Words in One Day!
Welcome back to another roundup! This August event, held from 12 am to 12 am, we had 101 writers join us in our game to write as many productive words as humanly possible. This is the most writers we’ve ever had, and the first time we’ve broken triple digits — thank each and every one of you for coming, month after month, and making this event possible. Now on to the statistics!
Directly below are the general statistics for this month (so much credit to the lovely @zarvasace) followed by the Winner’s Circle, Clubs, Superlatives, and Bingo sorted in alphabetical order. This month, the statistics and clubs were self-reported through submission sheets — superlatives, as every month, were assigned by other members of the event. Bingo was played on the server itself. Thanks again to @zarvasace for putting together all of our lovely spreadsheets, to the mods for helping us run this event, and to all of you for coming!

Hello! My name's Theta Mandel and my pronouns are ze/zem/zir (yes, I know, I'm a Doctor Who fan who goes by 'Theta', many such cases). You can find me as @theangelshavethephonebox here on tumblr, as well as on my AO3, z_in_a_blue_box. I have never worked on a zine before, and yet I've somehow ended up heading this project; I'm the organisational mod, and it's largely my fault this is happening. Whoops! It's wonderful to see so many people interested in this zine, and in this tucked-away little subfandom that's so near and dear to my heart. I also run Decapedia (the Deca fic wiki) and write for The Cheshire House (and other places). You can find out more about me on my website, thetamandel.wordpress.com!
thank you whoever is behind this account for making shadow happy 🥹🥹
auuuuu he's literally just a little guy ohhh my god
[EEEEEEEE! Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and for writing this! It made me so happy to open Tumblr and see this ask. Shadow deserves to be happy and so I decided that he shall be happy whether he likes it or not.]
📫 - my favorite type of ships: Ooooo! Now me personally, I am not a shipper. HOWEVER. Enemies to lovers. Or friends to lovers. Those I do like. Where one is a bit more responsible than the other.
My wife and I match the enemies to lovers a bit. When we met I was a very rude person to everyone and she was lovely. She's also smarter and more responsible than me xD
🍪 - my favorite roleplay memory: hmmm.... truly any interaction with @wrangleofkaon our roleplays are so fun and constant and I love that xD. One specific one i can think of though was when I was a bit younger in my undertale phase and I roleplayed my OC blaster with my small group on roblox. Ehish I could re-connect with them.
📒 three blogs i couldn't live without: @wrangleofkaon again. They're literally the reason this blog got seen i swear. @ceristhefallen love our roleplays on my bayverse, they write so so well it makes me jelly. @bluecopmun also - im adding two more, I know, criminal. @ask-tfone-megatron and @blindxptimism they write so well it can't even
i used to be very active on a total drama blog and everyone despised me because i hated a character everyone loved, i kinda miss sharing my takes there but im also not very passionate about total drama anymore.
and then WHAM!!! THIS BLOG GETS SHOVED ONTO MY DASH!!!!!!! thank you mod minimoose ill never forget you this is the best day of my life
ANYWAY CAN I BE ZIM ANON !!!!! BATS EYELASHES I WILL BE ASKING HERE A LOT!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS BLOG!!!!!!!!!!
-zim anon
ahhhh tysm for loving the blog!! i had no idea it'd end up doing it so well when i first started but im so happy that ppl enjoy sending in their silly takes :D

I’m one of those (mostly) happy ending simmers but as you can imagine, that can get boring quick so I looooove mods that push me out of that and I love when my game throws a sharp dart right at my forehead and I gotta deal with it lmao.
That being said, THIS MOD????? is gagging me rn I can’t even lie. My sims are acting UPPPP and the added elements make it so much worse better 😂
+edit+ All my gameplay mods are lowkey plotting against me lmao
You're such a talented ENFP🤩, keep helping people😉😊.
Thank you, I shall. This is a temporary gig until I can convince all my followers to put me on the throne. I will be a benevolent dictator who lives a life of luxury and wealth accompanied by pampered felines.
