what're ur ze recs hand em over

well now you're just fishing for compliments. fine tho. there isnt enough zero escape fanfiction in the world

The Bleeding Path by Sporadicx The missing nine, that Akane counts in years. [9 years between nonary games fic, best ever]

The First Nonary Game by airdeari A tale of nine children aboard a sinking ship, and the unbelievable story of how they survived. [note i wrote on my bookmark: this is one of those fics where I look in a fandom tag and go wow I hope someone wrote a really long thing to fill this very fanficable gap in original canon and boy howdy it does not disappoint! Getting to see 999 characters as teenagers, the tragedy of knowing this is a sort of prequel that has to end sad so that it can lead to the events of the game, all the first nonary game kids introduced!! Yuuki Ren Claire Nobu and Hideyoshi are canon in my heart <3. (also; everything by this author is a banger)]

Emergency Light by airdeari In the continuing adventures of SOIS and Crash Keys, Aoi Kurashiki finds himself partnered with Light Field as they stand by to receive while their sisters infiltrate a mysterious facility. When Clover transmits a distress signal, the boys find themselves literally and metaphorically traveling into deep, dark trouble.

5-2 Off Suite by Masu_Trout The second Nonary Game is over, leaving its survivors hungry, tired, and stranded in Nevada. A road trip isn't what any of them want, but the only way out is forward and the only way forward is across a long, long stretch of desert. (Alternately: Junpei and Snake share a hotel room, buy terrible clothing, and work out some feelings.)

ghost ship by mqole How long ago did they break? It hadn’t been too long, right? Maybe ten, fifteen minutes? That leaves just forty-five minutes for him to move Light to the chapel, get his clothes to Nijisaki in the shower room, and fix the REDs for doors [3], [7], and [8]. No goddamn sweat. Santa puts Snake in the coffin. [the nature of the zero escape fandom being made of like 10 content creators means that some of these will simply be by my friends. HOWEVER. still good.]

and to those gods i will speak bluntly by aesphantasmal Light was about to speak, say he had no issue with going through door five, too, when he felt the grip on his arm tighten further. "Four?" he whispered. Clover made a small noise that he took as a "yes." [Au where snake & clover go through door four w/ aoi & akane & snake Figures Things out too soon. awesome canon divergence great characterization written by an author whose other works are all good and who i have never spoken to in my life no sir. don't look at who this fic is gifted to. its good i swear.]

i am the righteous hand of god by aesphantasmal The mayor and the sheriff of a quiet frontier town are both killed in one day. But if you asked the folks around the town — from the newcomer to the new sheriff to the general store owner to the saloon keepers — nobody knows anything about it. The town keeps its secret, but to those who know the truth, that they know is enough. [cowboy au. need i say more?]

Also because this fandom has such little fanfiction comparitavely to most of the things i can reccomend. i have in fact written a bit of zero escape fanfiction . which you can find on ao3 at Beau (executive_gay)

#ze #999 spoilers #i mean anyone who knows zero escape knows that just the character tags are gonna spoil you for the first two games so like #read at your own risk you have been warned #cleb talky #gud writes #fic recs

11, 13 and 17 ::D

11. Link your three favorite fics right now

oh god ysee i don't actually read that much fic because I'm not the most. literate. (my brain skips words constantly) my favourite fic is probably the ze fic The First Nonary Game by @airdeari which my friends have as required reading after you finish 999

uh my favourite fic I've written (because when thinking isn't working one should always fall back on self promotion) is probably and to those gods i will speak bluntly, which i wrote for zero escape secret santa last year, but i got my bestie jester kaetor so it got. out of hand. im still proud of it

sorry these are all zero escape uh persona. analogous by @jortsbian (hi kaia) my beloved. autism

13. what’s a common writing tip that you almost always follow?

not sure if it counts but when people are like put the bit you're struggling to figure out in brackets so you can come back to it? yeah

17. What do you do when writing becomes difficult? (maybe a lack of inspiration or writers block)

the above if it's on a specific part. i go write something different if i can't continue with my current wip, pick up an old one from the idea vat if nothing's coming to mind (i have a few months old very angsty timeloop fic and a slightly less old fun detective + thief shenanigans fic that i pick back up when i need a change of scenery.) if I can't write i draw, if I can't do either i sew, if my sewing machines at the other end of the country i pick up knitting, if i can't knit or sew i play games. maybe it's the luxury of doing things for fun but i never got past a block by digging my heels in

also if you're really stuck on a specific writing section delete the last two paragraphs

About a week ago I finally finished bookbinding @airdeari‘s beautiful Zero Escape fic The First Nonary Game. It took about a month (between all the waiting for glue to dry and also several days each week when I was unable to work on it), and was so much fun! It’s so satisfying to just... hold this book in my hands.

Details about how I made it, along with additional photos (and commentary) below the cut.

So I came across this post on Tumblr, which immediately inspired me to try bookbinding myself. I spent a few days watching so many tutorials from the youtube channel linked in the post (I’ll link the specific tutorials I used in this post), and googling how to actually manage to print pages so they form proper signatures, because the inbuilt booklet creator in Word doesn’t exist in my Word apparently so that’s fun.

Anyway, once I started, I asked @airdeari for permission to print and bind his fic, and he immediately said yes, so that was good. Then I spent a good couple of days copying the entire fic into a Word document, and fiddling with formatting so it would look like an actual book (section breaks, page numbers, headers with the fic title on the left page and chapter title on the right page (this took ages to work and I kept on stuffing it up), and making sure things just... looked nice. I added in the art After The War that @keycrash created specifically for the fic (third pic above), and an “afterword” containing credit and links and the author’s notes from AO3 (because even if I’m the only one who will ever see it, it still feels weird to not add the credit stuff in so it’s there).

I then saved the document as a PDF, and used CheapImposter to correctly shuffle (impose, hence “imposter”) the pages so when folded into signatures, each page would be in the correct order. This program was the first free one I could find, and was great because you could specify the number of sheets you want per signature, rather than stuck with a default. I chose to have 11 signatures of 6 sheets of paper, since that was the amount that would have the least blank pages and the end of the book. The file was 261 pages, so with two pages per side, and two sides per sheet, you divide the number of pages by 4 to get 66 sheets of paper

I then printed. There was only one (1) paper jam in the process, which was great. Unfortunately, I realised after I printed that one of the headers for one chapter was wrong (I hadn’t properly disconnected the two chapters), but fortunately that only involved reprinting 4 sheets of paper.

I used the following tutorials to make the books: DIY Textblock, a general “how to make a textblock” tutorial; DIY Kettle Stitch, a specific look at the stitching for a textblock, since the first tutorial doesn’t focus on this; DIY Book Cloth, since I chose to use fabric for my cover; and DIY Hardcover Book, how to put all those pieces together.

So then I started folding all the signatures. I was watching so much Brooklyn Nine-Nine during both the folding and stitching sections, since it was repetitive actions I didn’t need to concentrate on that lasted hours.

It was at this point that I sliced each signature one by one to make the end smoother and less pointy. In future I recommend not doing it at this point - wait until the very end. Instead, move straight onto stitching.

I don’t have any photos of the stitching portion, since my phone died the morning I started the stitching, and I wasn’t able to replace it until after all the stitching was done. In fact, originally all the photos from before the stitching were lost too. It was only about two days ago that magically the My Photo Stream thing kicked in and brought back all the photos - if it had worked two weeks earlier I would’ve had more. As it is, all photos from September to January are gone forever, unfortunately. But that’s another discussion entirely.

The above is the first book photo on my new phone, so as you can see, all the stitching was completed, the spine was glued, and the purple paper attached. I couldn’t buy two A4 sheets, so instead I had to buy one A3 sheet and cut it in half. Which was difficult cycling home from the city with an A3 sheet that didn’t fit in my bag on account of being A3 and not A4, but oh well.

I don’t have a book press, so I used a pile of DND books and my brother’s weights instead, as shown below.

I then had to re-slice the book after this point bc my first go wasn’t even, on account of slicing each signature separately. Next time definitely I’ll just do it at the end like this. I then also sanded it to make it smoother. It’s still not perfect, but it’s something that’ll take practice and patience so.

Next I made the book cloth, which involves using appliqué sheets to combine cotton fabric and tissue paper. But first I want to talk about the fabric I chose for the cover, because I’m quite proud of it. I spent ages wandering around the shop, trying to find something that fit the feel of the book. Spoilers for the content of the fic if you haven’t read it yet, and also for the source material (999/Zero Escape). I was thinking about some sort of blue swirl thing, because of the Gigantic sinking. I found that, but hesitated because it didn’t fully fit, and my favourite colour is blue so I always pick blue. I also considered flames/fire because of the incinerator thing, but couldn’t find any. I can’t remember if I just couldn’t find any four leaf clover fabric, or if I’ve just since thought about that as a cover. But instead I chose the butterflies below. They fit in several subtle ways that I’m proud of. The colours of blue and pink(/red) matching the receiver and transmitter coding all throughout 999, as well as the moments of purple as well (I don’t think I need to get into that, I’m sure it was analysed to hell and back when the game first came out). The butterflies also point towards the butterfly effect, and in turn the different timelines present in the series. So together it just works. /spoilers over

It’s also just a pretty fabric.

Now the making of the book cloth. I had to make it twice, because I was too impatient the first time, so the iron was too hot and it steamed, which wrinkled and warped the tissue paper, so the fabric was all wrinkly too. The second time took ages and was a worse quality appliqué sheet, but worked well enough anyway.

(My parents: did you have the iron out? what were you ironing? you never iron)

And then I cut the book board to size, using the measurements from the tutorial video. I’ll repeat them here: front and back cover: width = width of textblock minus 3mm, and height = height of textblock plus 6mm, and spine width = width of textblock spine, spine height = same height as covers

I then glued the board onto the book cloth, and put it under the book press. The dnd books are not large enough to cover the whole thing, and also I really wanted the board to stay flat and not curl, so I grabbed way more dnd books and way more of my brother’s weights. I also accidentally started putting the glue on the wrong side of the board (bc one side is smooth and the other is rough), hence the colour difference as well.

The corners were cut and folded and glued over...

And then the textblock was glued in, and put in my book press for a whole weekend. I added a sheet of paper to absorb the glue so the pages wouldn’t become wrinkly, but instead the sheet I added was fine and every other page in the book is wrinkly. So I dunno what happened there. After the weekend I took it out and looked at it, and then put it back for another week to be sure.

And then the complete book is shown at the top of the post!

As I was starting I was talking a lot about it, like about the process I had to go through, or how I was going to obtain what I needed, etc. Mum asked if she could read the story. I froze, like a deer in the headlights... because this is a fanfic. She saw my fear and immediately backed down, explaining she only wanted to read it because if the story was that important to me that I was going to literally turn it into a book, she wanted to read it to yknow like know me better or something? Which makes sense. And when I got over my initial reaction, and remembered that indeed it was technically my dad who introduced me to fanfic, and thought about it more, I said okay. Because since the fic is technically a prequel to the first game, and most of the characters are technically OC’s (like, from the first game we know that all eighteen children must exist, but most of them don’t have names or anything so they are effectively OC’s), then knowledge of source material isn’t strictly necessary. This fic can probably be enjoyed on its own. I mean I’ll probably have to explain the concept of morphogenetic fields, and the last four chapters might not make sense? But I’m okay for my mum to read it. So when she’s less busy at work I’m going to download the epub onto her phone for her - we’ll see how it goes.

Anyway, this fic is a masterpiece, extremely well written and I highly recommend it. As said, most of the characters are effectively OC’s, and yet they are all given such rich histories and personalities. All of them have access to the morphogenetic field, so I’m just so glad that @airdeari explores nine unique relationships with the field - nine unique sibling dynamics, and esper powers and abilities. It’s just so good.

airdeari replied to your post “airdeari replied to your post “How The Fuck Are You Supposed To...”

there's definitely A Way to make it so one __init__ can do both and that would be like __init__(self, lst=) so you have a default value of an empty list if you pass no parameters when you initialize an object but idk if that counts/is what he means. either way if the test code doesn't need you to define a list upfront then ((shruggy guy))

actually yeah i just looked a little closer and we ARE supposed to start with a completely empty list - theres a method in the class that’s supposed to average all the values in the current list [there’s another one for adding values to said list but i get how to do that] and the test script asserts that the average initially is 0 which would indicate an empty list?? like we definitely populate the list later but i GUESS it starts as empty by default

7, 8, and 13 for Akane Kurashiki!

Thanks for the ask! (From here)

7. How would you summarise the character in a sentence?

Mysterious time-abyss old lady who’s unfortunately not like that in the sequel or prequel. (Yep: I’m VLR-first)

8. Do you have any headcanons for them?

Not really about her specifically, but I do like to think about what Crash Keys and co get up to after ZTD, and as the leader she has to be at the centre of all of that. When I’m thinking about things like that I tend to imagine Sigma and Phi as at least slightly stronger espers than Akane, so they tend to be out in the field while she plays mission control.

Plus she totally gets off on all this spy-skullduggery...

13.What are your favourite fanfics with them?

She’s very strong in @airdeari‘s First Nonary Game, where she has more of that ethereal quality to her and it plays really well with Hongou’s ‘shortlist’ of esper candidates.

Approximately ten thousand years ago @cygnahime tagged me to list 10 favorite characters from 10 different things, and then tag 10 people - and I promptly wrote some messy notes and forgot them in my drafts. But better late than never. Taking inspiration from you, and I tried to pick faves from various points in my life. In the vaguest of chronological orders:

Kit Kittredge from American Girl (she was a writer, I was a writer – it didn’t matter we aspired to different genres, my baby self felt the call)

Artemis Fowl, eponymous (insufferable, but consider the opening of book two when he ruthlessly saves Butler’s life)

Raistlin Majere from the Dragonlance novels (I was pretty young for these when I first read them, they might have been my first grown up fantasy; also, my most problematic fave. I would probably hate him more if I encountered him now)

Seto Kaiba from YuGiOh (lmao) (but YGO was actually the first thing I read fanfiction for, I was a small confused child on ffn, I read my first hurt/comfort fic and never looked back)

Kratos Aurelion from Tales of Symphonia (an early betrayal that wounded my innocent heart)

... I definitely had a Draco Malfoy thing going for a while (at this point it's either Harry himself or Remus Lupin)

Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of the Caribbean (!!!)

Leonard McCoy from TOS Star Trek & James Kirk from 2009 Star Trek (though it would be sacrilegious not to also mention every iteration of Spock by name) (here we find my original OT3)

Tyrion Lannister from ASOIF/GOT (I'm also very partial to Daenerys Targaryen)

Rey from Star Wars (I'm not a big Star Wars person - frankly I suspect the recent trilogy was more enjoyable for people who aren't Star Wars people, so I'm sorry - but I found her really delightful)

Y’all some of these are really incriminating - but I have willingly dragged myself in the name of honesty.

I have no idea who might have done this already so I’m sorry, but if you’re interested I’m tagging: @puffbirdstudio, @audreyskdramablog, @robotarmsapts, @missymoth, @errantknightess, @somewherealight, @airdeari, @puddingcatbae, @theuntamednarrator, and @you - yes, you - who I was probably just too shy to tag; feel free to tag me back if you do it.

#tag game #i really did have questionable taste for questionable characters in my younger years #i didn't know any better #you know what that is? growth
