She sort of zones out when she draws it
>its pretty popular though so she keeps it going.

>Marcy's web comic has an interesting story but is just moderately popular, can't pay rent is going to be evicted soon.
>Readers start noticing there is a strange coded message in the comic, can't quite understand but looks like something is trying to communicate with them.
>Some youtuber by the name of Brad Pratt starts making theory videos about the secret behind the gam...I mean comic.
>That makes the comic explode in popularity which gives Marcy just enough to pay rent and buy instant noodles.
>But one in a thousand fans of the comic start forming a tight community and buying a lot of suspicious materials to build some sort of machine.
>Meanwhile Marcy is non the wiser, just her usual headaches and zooning out from time to time.
>online communities begin to unironically like her work
>people at cons tell her how much they love her hidden puzzles in the story
>for some reason, Marcy can't remember how those conversations go, but she's happy that they are happy
>Happy that they are so invested in her work
>Happy that they all are so invested in their works

Any canon evidence for this?

Last digit of my post ID is Marcy's canon body count

>Starts off conciously knowing it’s gonna be Amphibia inspired, of course it will be.
>She struggles to make too much progress at first. She’s so hungry. Why did she have to quit her job at the Library?
>Uses some online audio tapes to try to ‘draw out the inner mind, unleash the true you, they supposedly help surpressed and dormant parts of the mind wake up
>Anything for inspiration
>She has been having more odd dreams lately. They’ve been happening on and off for the past decade, but lately they’ve been more common.
>She’s so hungry…when did she last have a good meal?
>Finally seemingly gets some inspiration, it all just seems to flow from her mind.
>Obviously. She’s the only mind here
>It takes on the structure of various short stories following individual characters in the same world
>It’s pretty neat! She even sneaks in some recurring jokes here and there, some secrets like the occasionally Anne face hidden in a background.
>And maybe some other stuff. She’s not always 100% sure.
>Sometimes she really loses herself in her work, not really even fully remembering drawing most of it.
>She’s just in the zone, of course. That must be it. That’s normal for artists.
>And with how erratic her sleep and meals have been lately, it’s no wonder she sometimes finds herself losing a few hours here and there or having gaps in her memory.
>Nothing unusual here.
>She’s finally gathered a bit of an audience though. Some people enjoy putting together what order al the stories take place in or looking for Easter eggs. Some people try to find the hidden Anne face in every page! How cute!
>Of course, some of their theories seem pretty out there, mentions things she doesn’t even really recall.
>Probbaly just fanon nonsense and people looking too deep into things.
>It’s nice to finally make enough to afford some decent food though.
>It’s been so long since they’ve had a decent meal.

>And by ‘they’, of course, we mean Marcy.
>It’s normal to sometimes refer to yourself like that, especially when you’ve got an online persona
>So many new fans have been showing up, Marcy couldn’t be happier.
>She’s been trying to add some more interconnected elements to things to please them.
>The world building just seems to flow from her brain. Of course, she’s literally BEEN to another world and was drawing inspiration from it, why wouldn’t it?
>A couple of her fans mention weird links and offsite interactions with other ‘unusual’ users. Probably just some guy trolling and trying to scam people. She’ll look into it tonight.
>She’s sure she looked into it. What else was she doing for all of last night? The headaches are coming back again…
>Something tells her everything is fine now.
>Comic Con is coming up.
>She decides to try a small meet and greet, delighted to see plenty of her fans.
>Some of them remind them of her, so young and optimistic and just geeking out about the world.
>Kinda like her and Amphibia. It almost feels like a lost home.
>Some of her fans are a bit more unusual. A few freaks who want to have sex with her, of course, but she knew to expect that. The surprisingly large group of theorists looking into the lore and asking all sorts of questions that made no sense was so disorienting. They gave her a headache just tasking about it.
>And then some even bigger weirdos showed up saying they understood the plan and were working to help free them. Pooling resources for the glorious machine. God, they were so obnoxious she must have completely tuned them out because she could hardly remember what she said to them afterwards. Just that she felt a massive headache and then….
>Eh, it’s probably nothing.
>They are fine…err, Marcy is fine.
>She should continue the comic though. She has so many new fans to please

>They have work to do.

So, is there any new stories for this or is it the same as the last threads? A dedicated autist could turn this into a long fanfic somewhere.

>>149911855
Nah, just figure I may as well pull the concept out of hibernation after 3 years for some new autists to poke at. We worked it to exhuastion in 3 successful threads and half a dozen failed ones back in 2022, but now it's fresh again so who knows?
