Heads Up for the LIW Community
Google is updating its policy on inactive accounts. Beginning in December 2023, any account that has not been signed into for two years will be declared inactive, and it and its contents may be deleted. Since Google owns YouTube, this includes YouTube videos.
Nearly every literary-inspired web series is more than two years old, and many of them were posted to accounts that are no longer active. Many were also posted across multiple "in-universe" accounts, which are even less likely to be active.
If you are a web series creator, you should sign into the accounts associated with your web series to ensure that they are not deleted.
You should also, of course, back up any content on personal hard drives, but in the low-budget, DIY area of LIWs especially, sometimes stuff happens.
If you are a web series fan and you're worried about continued access to a series you love, I would recommend making your own physical back-up.

It came to my attention that I basically made Mushu Mulan’s shrink in my fanfic, and I love that for him XD

about your tags on my post, explain to me anything you want about your bmc aus I'm curious
(rubbing my gay lil hands together) you've opened the floodgates i hope you know, so i'm sorry in advance for the walls of text incoming aha.
BUT ANYWAY!!!!
this week (oct 9 to oct 13) is THE exact same dates as the week my LIS AU "Life is Weird" takes place (in 2017 tho), so this infodump will be ALL about that AU in particular!!! also bc the 6-year anniversary of the blog was last month ♥
my icon on this blog is my art from that AU too :]c
EDIT: putting this under a cut actually, so i don't have a mile-long post lol. also, i think i'll make a pinned post with a list of all my other AUs for reference! i have a LOT of half-baked ones i'd love to talk about as well
so:
Life is Weird is a Life is Strange-inspired AU i created in 2017!
the askblog it started with (@asklifeisweird) follows Michael as the protagonist (a la max caulfield), and Jeremy as the equivalent to chloe price.
there's a couple more roles that were originally fairly 1:1 (squip as jefferson, rich as nathan, chloe as victoria, christine as kate, dustin as rachel), but over the years they've mostly grown away from being "reskins" as me and my boyf keep developing the au!
i've also stolen several characters from the BMC book– either entirely or just in name– to fill the background space/chars, since LIS has a whole world of characters and BMC as a musical kinda... didn't, at least back in the day :'D now there's more named bg chars, but keep in mind this AU started before even the 2017 Exit82 revival, so we had uhhh about 11 characters and a book. anyway.
while the askblog itself hasn't exactly gotten very far in the story yet, the au has grown to include more LIS-based ideas as That franchise grew, alongside a lot of our own brainstorming ofc!! there's SEVERAL other stories planned following other characters besides Michael, and a lot of different timelines i'd LOVE to explore (some during blog canon, some just in side stories)
not to mention: since conception, the blog has gone through so many styles of getting the story out there that i consider it a multimedia project at this point. askblog with square panel comics in between, full-on comic pages, writing/fics... and most recently, bust-sprites with different expressions and text in between. i'm also working to add interactive fiction into the mix!!
Michael's story (nicknamed "Redshift" behind the scenes) mostly follows the same beats as the first LIS game, but the further in we get the more we've added to it. i'm especially excited for the LIW-equivalent to the alternate timeline LIS1 shows in (iirc) ep4, as well as the timeline post-Redshift that's inspired by the LIS1 comics :)
shifting tracks, i mentioned this was started Before the first musical revival. because of that and the revival coming out like 2 months later, a lot of the original character designs were based off the 2RT/2015 cast, the E82/2017 cast, or entirely headcanon-based. since then, as more productions happened, appearances have shifted or changed completely!
off the top of my head, some of the more notable ones are:
jeremy: 2RT for current, E82 for younger
brooke: E82 for current, 2RT/NYC for younger
dustin: originally all headcanon, now mainly E82 with some hc
jenna: originally 2RT, now mainly NYC
jake: originally 2RT, now NYC + clothing insp from 2RT
i'd like to take inspiration from other productions as well tbh, but i can't change full appearances much anymore since i've done the fullbody sprites already and i don't wanna completely redraw anyone if i don't have to XD
ok so. i WOULD keep talking but i've realised i have to get ready to see the BACCP production today!!! so i'll leave you off with the AU blogs if you wanna know more or read it or whatever! or feel free to send me more asks, i love this AU with all my heart :]

I miss the heyday of literary inspired web series so much and I'm so glad to have found you!! Do you happen to know of any other such webseries from this year or last?
We do too! There aren’t many nowadays but here’s the few we know of:
(Followers: if we missed any please feel free to contribute!)
-Headless - inspired by Sleepy Hollow, made by @shipwreckedcomedy, and featuring a lot of familiar LIW faces!
-Drew and Oren - quarantine sequel to Twelfth Grade or Whatever, this follow up is at least partly inspired by Taming of the Shrew. Made by our friend and music coordinator Jules at @quipmodestproductions.
-Tincho Fierro - this one just started airing, it’s based on Argentinian novel “El gaucho Martín Fierro” and seems to be going for the classic vlog style so far. It’s in Spanish and has English subtitles available.
