Welcome to Crosshollow

My name's Jasper (he/they), I'm a 23 year old genderqueer game art student. I originally started making IFs on here back in like 2020, before I even realized there was a community for it, and like all of my hobbies I've struggled to keep it up. In the past few months I converted this primary blog to a personal blog. Expect the normal Tumblr bullshit, alongside...

  • Incoherent rambling.
  • Diatribes about autism.
  • Religious history nerdery.
  • Sustainable, alt, and historical fashion.
  • My various art projects.
  • Interactive fiction shit.

While this blog is now a personal one, I am still currently working on my latest IF project on my secondary blog, @signalhill-if.

Without further ado, here are my links:

SIGNAL HILL
Status: ACTIVE

A hedonistic romp through a strange, post-apocalyptic city. This caravan job was meant to be your ticket to a better life in the big city- instead, you were robbed outside the gates and nearly met your end in the ensuing slaughter. After being nursed back to health, you're free to roam the streets of the big city, make your fortune, have some questionably moral fun, and maybe figure out what dark secrets are hiding in the neon-lit streets of Signal Hill.

Demo | Intro Post

13 LAUREL ROAD
Status: COMPLETE

Your cousin needs somebody to pick something up from their old house. You're the only one with a pickup truck, so that means you.

Nobody's been back there since it happened.

You don't believe in ghosts, but you do believe that places can be haunted.

Play it on itch.io

FOUNDATIONS
Status: INDEFINITE HIATUS

You've wandered this Earth for centuries, an immortal spirit tethered to human bodies after being exiled from your own world. Alongside your most recent tether, Tobias, you seek refuge in the remote mining towns of Colorado. You're being pursued... and he's getting closer. Unbeknownst to you, however, dark things are unfolding in the mountains- things you're about to be pulled into.

Anonymous asked:

Since you pretty much abandoned Exiled from court, can you at least told us how it would have finished?

beeanca-writing answered:

I don't mind answering the question, but how about you try again, this time asking nicely?

You're not obligated to know or care, but I've been going through a really difficult time, both financially and emotionally, since last year. Please remember there is an actual human being behind the computer and that I have my reasons for "pretty much abandoning" EfC.

I don’t know what it is but every few months a very loud minority in this community decides to invade authors inboxes to demand work/some form of compensation for liking their writing.

You do understand that, for most of us working on these projects, this is something we do because we enjoy it, right? Most of us have day jobs, are in school—we have to do these things to support ourselves, but we come online to share our work because we like to do it? And it’s supposed to be fun? Not all of us are making $10k a month—you do understand that—correct? For most IF authors, writers online, artists, whatever we’re making—we’re doing it out of a passion for the project—and sure it’s nice when people like it but the main gist of what I’m trying to say is: authors don’t owe you work, ESPECIALLY authors who are operating purely for fun?

There are a lot of reasons I’m not the biggest fan of the IF community and what it’s expanded to be, but, honestly the entitlement within some of its members is one of the biggest.

Thank you, KC, you're the best 💘 I have nothing else to add, you put it really well.

On a more personal note just to close off this whole thing: if I end up coming back to EfC (and maybe I will; I haven't truly given up on it), it'll likely be a pretty different story, so I don't mind answering anything related to what might have happened. Just remember to be kinder than this anon when asking 😁

Also, this is definitely not the last you've seen of my writing. I have an upcoming game I've been writing for my job, and I'll always love writing 💘 I just need some time to myself.

I obviously believe in bodily autonomy. 100%. No questions asked. But one other thing about me is that if you do that thing where you have one full sleeve of tattoos and one arm without any tattoos, I will turn to my friend and whisper, "That guy jacked off so much they shook all the tattoos off their other arm like an Etch A Sketch."

Tintin remembers what comes after 15.

FUCKING HELL IT’S BACK FROM LAST YEAR

This literally gets reblogged every 15th of the month. It’s almost two years old. It’s beautiful.

listen up ya’ll this post is 6 years old now and you’re still reblogging it. every month. once a month, my notifications blow up for this one video, but only until the 16th. then the notes on this vid completely stop. it’s so eerily spot on and impressive how you just all collectively know what to do. if I’m not online, people irl still remind me that it’s the 15th. thank you for six surreal years of me wondering if I completely fucking lost it. here’s to the 15th

art tips

  • don't call what you create "content". regardless of what it is. that's the devil talking. call it art, call it writing, call it music, call it analysis, call it editing, literally just call it what it is
  • I was going to put other things but oh my god please just don't call yourself a "content creator". you are a person you are making art / writing / music / etc you are an artist an author a musician
  • you are not an Image Generator For Clicks And Views. please. allow yourself to connect with your work by naming it properly and acknowledging yourself in kind
