Welcome to this extremely barebones Neocities that my friend Quincy gave me the idea to make! I know there's a really low chance that anyone would ever try and make a duplicate of it but just in case, hello this is the official thing, the person typing this is tumblr user/ao3 author extraordinaire darubyprincxx, but you can just call me/us Keys or Six.
About eight months ago at the time of writing this, I started writing a fanfiction titled "(i'll tend to the flames, you can worship the) ashes" over on ao3, named after the chorus of this The Longest Johns song. The fic is set in the aftermath of the Empires SMP Season One apocalypse and features characters played by GeminiTay, fWhip, and Pixlriffs. The reason why I am up at 11:30 PM eight months later teaching myself HTML for this is because since then, I've talked about it a lot over on our Tumblr and done some things in other places as well. There's a whole ass playlist that can be found on several platforms, a dedicated tag for it on our blog, and even an unlisted YouTube video of us reading the first chapter of the fic.
Basically, the project has sprawled over quite a large portion of the Internet since we've started it, and I wanted to have a centralized place for all that external stuff for ease of access and also because the opening notes on the fic itself are getting really, really long.
For now, this page will probably stay extremely bare-bones- just a couple of paragraphs of important shit, hyperlinks, and dark mode. I finally defeated dark mode. It is 12:45 AM and the site colors are successfully not flashbangy.
I, the author of this work, give permission for those who wish to do so to download this fic for noncommercial uses such as sharing between friends or backing up physically for archival purposes, to make art (whether visual or musical) of scenes depicted in the fic, and to share snippets of the fic via screenshot or use in a video or article with credit to me via link to the work itself and naming me as the author. I ask that no extensions or fic of this fic (theories and meta analyses do not count) be written, for personal preference reasons.
I do not give permission for people to repost my work without my explicit permission, pass it off as their own, use the fic in A.I datasets or submit its content in any way, shape, or form to A.I machines, or use it for commercial use in any way, shape, or form. Any of the actions mentioned in this paragraph go against the author's word for how this fic may be used and some of these cases may warrant actions taken against the perpetrator.
If you have any questions about the points mentioned above, please email me at darubyprincess@gmail.com or send an ask to my Tumblr blog.
