Hey yall. I'm the one you can blame for ThraelosVerse, and all of the OCTs therein, existing. This has been my brainchild project, with pre-production on and off, for about half a decade now. I'm BEYOND thrilled to finally kickstart it and bring it to fruition. I hope somehow someway ThraelosVerse will inspire, encourage, and spark the joy of creation, storytelling, and collaboration in all of you!

OCT ExperienceAs a PlayerAt the risk of aging myself, I am a certified OCT veteran; I joined my first OCT as a player way back when EndZone (the "first OCT" as we know "OCTs" to be defined as) was still running. I started around 2007/2008 in Infractus Fatality. Since then I've entered more than I can honestly recall these days, but sadly most of the time the OCTs I entered ended up fizzling out (sometimes before R1 could end), or I ended up having to back out around R2/R3 due to being busy in my offline life. If I were to guess, I'd say I've participated in about 10-12 or so OCTs (that actually got started and didn't simply close shop before auditions ended-- I wouldn't dare to try recalling all of those).
As of right now, my favorite OCT that I've ever participated in as a player was AdriftOCT. It was there that I met most of my OCT pals that I still am good friends with today, and where my teammate, AnimationMutation, and I really started to learn and hit our stride in comic-making progress. Much love to AdriftOCT, always.
Speaking of teaming up with AnimationMutation: we long since started a silly gimmick of having our OCs be the same ones we entered in each OCT together every time, with a continuous plotline (as if their OCT journey was one big unbroken story journey). It was a huge challenge to make the leaps between different OCT premises make sense, but we loved it. We hope to bring those two OCs, Talib and Zeke, out of OCT hibernation one day and continue that challenge in new OCTs as players again.
The most recent OCT I participated in as a player was ParasomniaOCT, teamed up with my pal LinksTheShifter. Unfortunately, we had to bow out in R1, submitting a hastily made comic, due to crazy work life pressures offline.
As a JudgeMy OCT judging career has comparatively been far more recent and less filled out. I have judged for TelevisionSpaceOCT (TVSOCT) and Summer Leagues OCT (season 2); both OCTs were in recent years. |

Judging Expectations
Above all else, my focus is on overall storytelling. Every story is unique; not every piece of advice will fit every story trying to be told. I want to know your story and how you can convey that specific story to me. OCTs are a storytelling competition that utilizes both short-form (round, like chapters in a comic series or novel) and long-form (the overall plot of the story you are telling across the OCT as a whole) storytelling techniques-- striking that balance is much harder than most realize. That's the fun challenge, in my opinion. Additionally, I love to see out of the box and creative thinking in plots. Sure, tropes are staples for a reason, but even how you use old tropes can be creative. In the end, I want you to tell me your story to the best of your ability-- and have fun with it.
