Out with the Old, In with the New
Update on the Gallic Baka website
One of our group members, Gallic Baka, made the decision that we need to retire the group's old website, aptly named "Gallic Baka Microblog".
What was in the Gallic Baka Microblog?
Used to be a static site for the entire group, despite having the first person pronoun as I, to post "tweet-like" blogs that began on August of 2025 for updates within our niche scene.
Reasons for retiring the site is to avoid confusion with Gallic Baka, the member, taking ownership of the site when it's co-founded by different members. The last blog posted was within the early November of 2025, and not much of interest has posted since. The artist of our group had expressed no desire post there anymore, suggesting we publish and curate website each of our own.
Other reasons being that an incident occurred when a member slipped posts with intrigues of real world and identity politics that may cause division within our tight-knit community. It happened all the time with the Asterix stories, and as our titular character would have done it, I have taken helm and snuff the flame diplomatically before it spreads. Nice try, Romans.
The Anglophone Asterix Club group is already an extremely small circle. We have no desire to include such discord anywhere near the projects that serves tribute to our beloved stories.
Will There Be New Sites?
There will be. Each for individual projects instead of consolidating everything into one site; separating the microblogging and streamlining bursts of random thoughts to another.
As explained on my previous and first post, that the group had a rebrand, going from simply Gallic Baka to something like Anglophone Asterix Club. Which what our webring will be called once we began launching our sites.
As for I, Hagetafix, suggest that we use free anonymous blogging platforms like this here Notepin for now.
Other Hagetafix Update
The first book of the fan adaptation, being Garia no Asteria (In English, not to be confused to being Japanese translated despite the name), is undergoing a meticulous editing phase. Somewhere switching things between Chapter 1-3 and fixing the pace of the story, reworking the dialogue, and otherwise errors and story inconsistencies.
A beta reader requested I post the literary works on AO3 although hesitant doing so when the story is strictly PG-13, and no explicit swearing, since it's based on a kid-friendly property.
