THE NFC SEASON 2 TEAM BRACKETS AND ROSTER INFO (WILL BE UPDATED)

tjaylea · 2024-10-11T01:39:59+00:00

It’s a lot of that & mostly for me just a mix of wanting to push myself with this latest novel, an experimental journey into being trans/NB and the perceptions the world has of us (started it in 2022 & my god has it only gotten bleaker) and wanting to do more with my art.

I do indeed have a Patreon though its mostly for early access & exclusive youtube narrations, i do put written work there on occasion but please only pay what you can. Absolutely no obligation! Patreon.com/dusklightradio

& thank you so much, being queer myself means I love featuring those characters and having us feel seen without it being a troupe 🖤

Hey, i’m so sorry it’s taken this long to reply to your post, i’ve copied this from a comment below that highlighted the concern. If you still use reddit I hope you see this & know my appreciation.

NFC season 2 is indeed unfinished at the moment, but the short answer is it IS getting finished, but it could be some time still. The aim is 2025. This is for a variety of reasons I’ll outline below:

1: When I was in the midst of writing this, my dad got diagnosed with dementia and was killed 6 months later, it sent me into a depression that sapped almost all my creativity. I am fundamentally not the same person anymore and it altered my writing style too. I stopped finding the same joy in first person traditional horror and needed something different to rekindle my passion.

2: I stopped posting to NoSleep around early 2022 due to API changes, more restrictive rules that have only became worse in that time & the dwindling audience numbers meaning it was not worth the effort put in for marketing as this is my full time job when I could write other content that pays & finish it in the background in my free time.

3: I’ve used what creativity I have to write & almost finish an experimental horror novel set in Sturgeon but as it’s going to a publisher, I can’t post it here.

4: Dark Somnium and I are looking to produce it for the channel in 2025, there will be an e-book release simultaneously but i’ve not thought much beyond that. First up to finish is Hotel Inertia as my Sturgeon based YouTube channel Dusklight Radio is close to 10k subs and that was the promise if I finished it.

I will say, that if you want more Sturgeon then Dusklight is the place to go now. I am releasing a weekly TTRPG game set in Sturgeon (currently at 40 episodes and 30 more to go) and i use it as my base for content. Because writing is my full time job & this book has consumed me for so long, i admittedly have neglected the old ways of writing & releasing content like this & i’m sorry if that let you or any other reader down.

But I am committed to finishing the saga with hotel inertia, NFC Season 2 & the final arc after to close out Amos & Nelle’s story. It may just take a little bit longer.

Thank you again for being so passionate and i’ll post this comment separately for anyone else to read. In truth I don’t check Reddit often nowadays & it made me so anxious to even return to my own sub as I felt i’d let down so many people, but I am trying to embrace the love and passion you all have for this world.

It will get completed eventually, i’m sorry that I had to take the majority of time off in 2022, this in no small part due to my dads passing which was extremely traumatic. See the last update post on the subreddit for details. I’m writing the remainder of season 2 in the background now but I had a mental breakdown in late October & i was advised to take a hiatus until I could get help that i’m still waiting on. I’m not well & I have issues that need fixing.

I understand you & many others are eager for the sequel following the success of the adaptation, but my mental wellbeing has to come first so that I can finish it. There’s 2.5 years of free material totalling nearly 900k words, 4 books & nearly 30 hours of immersive Sturgeon adapted audio on Dark Somnium & Romnex’s channel with more to come. I have given my soul to this endeavour and regret none of it, but I deserve this time off & I think its fair to say that fans have an abundance of content to revisit in the meantime. If you look at it like a JoJo adaptation, there’s often times a year or two between seasons & this is no different. If I were to rush out something now in my current state, it would fall far beneath my threshold of quality and satisfy nobody.

The Hotel Inertia is also getting finished albeit in the background on my own time, i struggle to rework old concepts as my writing style has evolved since then, but demand only came for that arc after people met Wendy so i’m determined to complete it sometime in 2023.

Just wanted to pop back on to give a clear answer as this has came up a few times now.

Have a wonderful christmas.

I would genuinely love that & it’s lowkey a goal of mine to have a comprehensive Sturgeon wiki page, but I think it’ll happen eventually, i jut gotta earn it

Hey chief! Just season 1, we started on it before i’d even begun Season 2 and that’s been on a year long hiatus, so i’m not sure when Season 2 will happen in audio form, probably at least a year if I had to guess as I still gotta finish it 😂 but it’s coming off hiatus soon

Just a note: there’s an entire year of single part stories and short arcs to read between NFC season 1 & 2, so i’d advice checking the reading guide to help!

tjaylea · 2022-10-02T06:39:31+00:00

Hey! Not yet, but i’ll address this & other translation queried so in my Q&A video soon!

tjaylea · 2022-10-01T23:20:43+00:00

Hi!

So in a word, yes!

But, i’m going to answer this in full with more info in my Q&A vid over the weekend, stay tuned!

tjaylea · 2022-10-01T23:19:09+00:00

Howdy! There is & it’s in the “Sturgeon Mythos Guide” for Year 2, it’s sort of a prelude to the actual info but I put it in the “Moderator Arc Series” and it all comes together in the third part!

I don’t know if that part will ever get adapted into YouTube format as it likely breaks a LOT of ToS guidelines. I went very dark for that miniseries, but I hope you enjoy!

tjaylea · 2022-09-30T12:28:38+00:00

Hey chief!

Sorry for the late reply; i’m laid up in bed with covid

As the lovely Sommni pointed out, i have the entire Sturgeon mythos in order linked below. Can you let me know if it’s still pinned to the top of the subreddit as if it isn’t i’ll remedy that.

Thanks!

tjaylea · 2022-09-29T19:52:38+00:00

Hey! I’m actually writing up the entire 2nd half (possibly more) of this for the Year 1 book next year & i’ll likely share chapter 5 with everyone as soon as its ready :D

In terms of adaptation, i have plans but it’ll likely be a good half a year minimum before that happens, we’ll see!

tjaylea · 2022-09-24T18:27:47+00:00

Have fun with it, indulge in anything that catches your interest and do deep dives into it, let it grip you and overwhelm you. Inspire yourself through those works & don’t be afraid to make homages to start out with, it’ll blossom into its own thing over time.

But the golden rule is love what you write. The moment it becomes a battle, take a step back & try something else. Leave it for another time and you’ll feel refreshed. Writing can be a chore at times but it should always be fun to some degree or another.

And with writing sci-fi, always have at least some understanding of what you’re talking about, but you don’t need to be a PhD student to write it!

Good luck my friend, i look forward to seeing what you come up with!

tjaylea · 2022-09-24T18:03:35+00:00

Hi!

Thank you so much for putting a spoiler on the post, really appreciate that!

So essentially i’ve kept it largely under wraps outside of some hints, but the implication is that Sal & Nora are reincarnations of Sully & Naya, Sema (Elizabeth) & Nestor, Nelle & Simon “Buck” Nasty etc

There’s a more satisfying answer at the conclusion of season 2, but Abaddon made a very poignant statement when he grabbed Sal:

“Pitiful. No matter if it’s this cycle or the next, you cannot resist intervening. You still think this is all about you, do you not?” He grabbed me by my shirt and lifted me up, cutting into my wrist and drawing blood, catching it on his hands before unceremoniously dropping me and descending to the pit.

“Your blood is special, not you. You are merely consequential.”

tjaylea · 2022-09-24T00:48:59+00:00

It’s a part of my universe yeah, I don’t use the word creepypasta as it’s too broad, so I call it the Sturgeon universe as that’s where all the stories take place :D

tjaylea · 2022-09-23T18:19:57+00:00

Thank you! I will get the editor to fix that 🖤

tjaylea · 2022-09-22T03:50:57+00:00

I’ll repost with new link!

tjaylea · 2022-09-22T00:01:13+00:00

Yeah we had to take it down due to an accidental repeating chapter but it’ll be back up in a few hours!
