Tower Of God Season 3

CONGRATULATIONS TO BAM, YOU ARE OFFICIALLY THE WEBTOON PROTAGONIST WHO HAS SUFFERED THE MOST!

The supporting characters/antagonists edition will be coming out tonight.

What is... Alpha vs. Beta Reader?

Most writers do not publish a work without it going through the process of being critiqued by multiple people beforehand. People that do the critiquing are alpha and beta readers.

But where is the difference?

Alpha readers come in first. They can read your draft at any point, you can even just run your first ideas by them. The alpha reader should focus on the general story, the bigger picture. They tell you where plot holes are and if an idea or scene in underdeveloped. They will tell you if one of your ideas just don't translate on the page just yet. You should take their feedback and apply it.

After working on the draft with the feedback you got, it's time for the beta reader. This one comes in towards the end, when the overall draft is finished. A beta reader should represent your target audience and should tell you what they liked and didn't like as a reader, not a fellow writer. They can tell you about what they felt while reading your story and if they cared about the characters. Beta readers will examine the whole story like the alpha readers, but they will do it more in-depth, which is why it's important to have them come in at the end, when you've gone through multiple rounds of revisions of the overall story.

Summary: Urek tries to give Bam a heartfelt speech

The Wolhaiksong base was busy as they prepared for their next move.

Urek took a sip of his soda and looked away from the bustling group of people to the small boy across him. Well, he wasn’t so small anymore, definitely a man now, but he was still… tiny.

“Bam, baby,” he called and Bam turned to him, a can of milk tea still against his lips.

“With great power comes great responsibility, you know. Don’t forget what your goals are, but don’t let them blind you.”

Bam blinked and nodded as he gulped. Urek sighed. He wasn’t getting his point across, was he?

“What I mean is, the Family Heads took their strengths to an extreme because they felt like they needed to. I’m saying you don’t need to. You don’t see me flaunting my strength around, do you? I’m—Hey!”

Bam’s eyes had gone wide, pupils dilating like a cat’s, and he took off past Urek in the middle of his important speech. He turned around to see what would be more captivating than him and he found the boy running into the arms of his Lightbearer. A fierce hug later, they were standing close, grinning and talking, the rest of their surroundings forgotten.

Urek, forgotten.

He pouted, but then reconsidered. The boy had something the family heads didn’t. Loyalty. Purpose. Love. As long as Bam didn’t forget those things, he wouldn’t become a heartless monster like the Family Heads.

Urek knocked back his soda and slammed the can against his forehead, crushing it before tossing it in the recycle bin.

He decided to go find someone else to bother and leave the two boys to themselves.

Summary: When the solution unveils an even greater problem! Sorta.

Freshly showered, skincare routine completed, and hair fully dried, Khun was finally ready to sleep.

He stepped into the bedroom with a yawn and froze when he saw Bam buried under the mattress, wrestling with something under it.

"Bam?" he cautiously called out. "What are you doing?"

Bam fumbled for a couple more seconds before popping out with a big exhale. "Oh! Hi, Khun-ssi. Just setting up the elastic."

Khun looked between the bed and Bam's face, the gears spinning at full throttle in his head, trying to make sense of what he just heard. "Elastic..."

"Yeah!" Bam placed his hands on his hips and puffed his chest out. "I think I've solved our biggest problem!"

Khun was still confused.

He approached his side of the bed and grabbed the edge of the bed cover. "Ooookay. I'm sure it's very— What the—?" He had to tug hard to get them to budge and it snapped back into place as soon as he let go.

He narrowed his eyes at Bam who was grinning at him.

"See? I used your suspenders to hold the sheets and comforter together from underneath. You won't be able to steal them like this!"

Khun's eye twitched but he pushed down the annoyance of his suspenders most likely being stretched out of shape forever. He was tired and didn't get many chances to go to sleep at reasonable hours. He hoped this was worth the sacrifice.

With a sigh, Khun shoved the covers down enough to for him to slide in. It felt weird to have the covers stretched over him like this, leaving a gap at his back that made him feel exposed.

He tossed around a few times before tiredness overcame his discomfort and he finally fell asleep.

Khun slowly woke up to the light of morning and sighed at the comforting warmth on his back, burying further into it.

Warm air puffed against the back of his neck and a weight around his waist tightened.

Wait.

Khun's whole body stiffened when he realized the warmth was actually Bam, still fast asleep and curled up against him.

He had a few choices to pick from. He could slowly peel himself away from Bam and pretend this never happened. He could feign sleep until Bam woke up, moved away on his own, and then pretend this never happened. Or, he could stop being a coward and just confess that he likes it when they wake up like this.

Nope. Too embarrassing.

Khun tried to slide away from under Bam's arm but he was pulled back in. He tried lifting Bam's hand but it tightened around his shirt and wouldn't let go.

There was no escaping now.

He realized that Bam's solution had put them in a real conundrum.

Yes, Khun was a blanket thief, but it was because Bam a notorious sleep snuggler.

I suggest that we start using the term ‘creatives’ instead of ‘content creators’ for authors/artists/gifmakers/podficcers for a few reasons, and chief among them are these;

we can’t always be our most productive, but there’s a terrible trend of fandom folks feeling bad if they don’t have something new to post every few weeks

you’re still a creative person even if you aren’t creating something at a given time, for whatever reason

and something it’s taken me far too long to learn myself: making things is not the rent you pay to be part of a community
