Write Every Day: Welcome
Jul. 15th, 2025 01:54 pmsanguinityWhat Is Write Every Day?
A roving writing support community, with a bias toward encouraging a daily writing habit. It's a decentralized community, without moderators or a fixed home; hosting duties are passed around among members of the community.nafs is hosting the first half of July; I'm hosting the second half, starting on the sixteenth. (By my time-zone: tomorrow.) zwei_hexen will take over in August. If you want the history of who hosted when, zwei_hexen keeps a list.
Who can participate?
Anyone! Drop in on any check-in post to say that you wrote that day. If you want to talk about victories, challenges, or process, feel free to do that, too. If you'd like to cheer on or commiserate with another commenter, please do -- conversation is encouraged!
What kind of writing?
Whatever you like. I'm here to help you meet your goals, not set them for you.
How much do I need to write?
Any amount counts. The traditional minimum unit is the so-called "alibi sentence" -- a single sentence that lets you check in and say you've written today. But you don't have to write new words, either: editing, transcription, outlining, and other activities that get you closer to a finished draft all count, too. If you think it counts, it counts. I'm not here to police your process.
How often do I have to check in?
Drop in or out at any time, or check in for several days at once, if you like. Please check in on the most recent post and say what day(s) you're checking in for, so I can keep the tally straight.
What does the tally look like?
For each day, I list the people who checked in for that day, and I publish the updated tally in every check-in post, so you can double-check my work.
Housekeeping
As host, I'll be publishing daily check-in posts, distributing encouragement in the comments, and keeping a tally of who checked in what day. I'm in Pacific Daylight Time (UTC -7), and plan to post the daily check-in during my evening. (A few hours later than this post went up.) I know my proposed posting time is very late for many people, so don't feel you have to wait for the new day's post -- just check in on the most recent post, whenever is convenient for you. Whatever post you use, please include what day you're checking in for, so I can keep the tally straight.
I'll also be using a consistent tag for these check-in posts ("write every day") so feel free to block or bookmark that, depending on your interests.
If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments!

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Jul. 15th, 2025 10:05 amicon_uk in scans_dailyIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
Every couple of weeks I dive into the headlines, hoping there might be some news that it's actually possible to share without a mental health warning. And again I am disappointed.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 starts this week, so there's that, I guess.
Oh, and another UK heatwave, with the possibility of another this coming weekend. Yay?

Teen Titans (1996) #1
Jul. 14th, 2025 02:31 pmiamrman in scans_dailyWords and pencils: Dan Jurgens
Inks: George Perez
I gave up on the classic Teen Titans because the ‘hip’ lingo was too much. I lost all interest in New Teen Titans after George Perez left. Roy Harper put me off revisiting the Devin Grayson Titans by being a massive ass. Let’s hope I stick with this version for longer.

Batman: Dark Patterns #7 began Pareidolia.
Jul. 13th, 2025 04:59 pmthanekos in scans_dailyPareidolia is related to patterns, echoing this three-years-in Batman maxi-series' subtitle.
It's also related to perception, echoing the motifs of the two previous stories. We Are The Wounded concerned tactile feeling, and The Voice In The Tower was audial - it'd ended on the rejection and acceptance of guiding voices.
Pareidolia opens on the acknowledgement of another motif that occurred in those two stories: ' [Gotham City, y]ou have always suffered fires. '
( The acknowledger's Batman. )
