Critters: Cantigaster_Cephalon, J Dune, GremlinGroup, PlaguePJP, and of course last, but never least, HarryBlank
Really cool to see an expansion of what VKTM are up to, and this feels expansive. You fit a lot of stuff in here, yet it flows really nicely and you don't sacrifice any effectiveness for its breadth. The humour came through fantastically, and the imagery of the speakers was top-notch. I had a look at this during crit, didn't have much to say, but came back for a reread anyway because I enjoyed myself so much. This does a lot to solidify how great VKTM is as a new GOI; I'm so excited to see what they do next!

Stupid wikidot… but keep the heart!
It is definitely intended to expand the possibilities without totally explaining the boundaries or motivations… and I’m really glad you liked it :)
I gotta say I love VKTM and all of its creators, idk why I Love this Media Group but I love this Media Group, I hope one day I get the talent to write and make this lol.
((Btw I dont see number 1 in the file if you know what I mean))
Yeah the footnotes, I remember now lol
Second paragraph of the description!
Also thanks for the kind words, I'm very appreciative of the attention this GOI has gotten as it's been a passion project of mine and I've had alot of fun with it.
I really like how relevant social commentary is done in the VKTM articles.
In-universe sometimes it reads as endorsement, sometimes criticism and sometimes simply remarking on the status quo. All delivered with top notch dark humour and ominous imagery.
However, out of universe it's clear what you’re trying to say with each one.
Now, I'm not sure yet if they themselves have an agenda. They want to make us see the issues, they want to make fun of us? Maybe both.
I currently think they’re just a conglomeration of many contradicting ideas that materialized into a company that produces content without any true rhyme or reason. But either way I love what this GOI is doing.

Not telling
Thanks for the kind words! And yeah, I love that there's layers to this stuff. Much more fun that way.
Standout of this for me was the absolutely delicious imagery of the presenters - particularly the Regismoose. Good stuff.
Gosh, I hope someone does art of the moose… the minute I wrote it, I wanted to see it bad.
Aight, this is it. This is the perfect VKTM article. If you suddenly stopped with VKTM right here, I'd be content (Lies, I want more of this GoI, but besides the point) because I feel this represents extremely well, even more so than the previous skips, what the group is about. This seminar was so… Anomalously mundane. This is how a 50 years-into-a-broken-masquerade-scenario media seminar would look like, and it works perfectly for the atmosphere and message it's trying to create. I just… Man, I love this so, so much. The addition of Lillihammer and Wettle was great too. Hell, all the characters were fun to read; you added a lot of personality in few words, I'm impressed.
Alright, enough compliments. This is a great article, and easily one of my faves. Easiest upvote in a while. Can't wait for what else VKTM has in store.
haha never fear, I doubt I will ever stop writing these… they're so much fun.
It's definitely the one I have most stretched out of the formula and allowed VKTM to actually discuss something important to itself instead of just the reader expected to read between the lines… BUT notice I also did not just sit anyone down and say "here's what we want to do" they talked alot without honestly explaining much about themselves
That's good. This stuff is too good to stop here.
And yes, that's true! It has a lot of 'this is how we do it' but no 'this is why we do it', and it's great, because it expands on the GoI without giving away what makes it interesting; the reasoning. It feels like an in-universe explanation of the GoI itself… Which means you essentially wrote an in-universe guide on how to write for Vikander-Kneed. Huh.
Surreal body horror comedy nightmare.
Absolutely fun and engaging to read throughout.
I honestly wasn't sure how I felt about this GOI when I first read it. I might even need to go back and look at my comments (if I made any) and see what I had to say then. I do know that I'm loving what is happening here and I hope it maintains this same level of weird and unexplained crazy horror that it has now.

Articles this long usually lose me, but this one was really well done, and the humor - while arguably out of place for a scientific document, specifically the ‘and good taste’ - makes it better. There’s a human element.
I’m probably thinking way too deep into this for what it is - but needless to say, I love this. Can’t wait to see more stuff like this.

Well, just so you know, there’s a whole bunch of articles like this on the Vikander-Kneed Technical Media Hub!
Thanks for reading despite it being longer than you usually like, I’m glad it resonated!
This is a great mixture of weird, creepy, and strangely humorous material. All the recipes needed for a great Vikander-Kneed article. It's also nice to see a VKTM article that isn't a VHS tape or recording. The whole pocket-dimension conference thing was cool. Loved the weird TV moose especially!
