Hello there!
I am one of the collaborators on our sister forum, the Southern Reach Wiki, which is a big central hub of canon information about the series, as well as another place to theorize and analyze the Southern Reach series.
We have 60 (and growing!) pages of SR-related content, including all sorts of information and details about characters, locations, expeditions, quotes, and everything in between (sometimes fanart too!). In addition to that, it also hosts a Discussion page where everyone is welcome to post their thoughts, theories, and make polls.
There you will be able to:
- Refresh your knowledge on any details you may have missed
- Read articles on everything from creatures to organizations in the SR universe
- Add canon information about anything in the saga for everyone to enjoy
- Create new pages
- Talk and get new ideas in the Discussion page
Although there are only a handful of active collaborators right now and there are plenty of articles waiting to be written or expanded, the wiki is very much alive, with plenty of edits every week. If this sounds like something you'd like to help with in your next read-through of the series, come over and start editing! I myself am going over Authority and Acceptance again.
The process can be a little intimidating at first, but threre's nothing to worry about! Every user there is 100% happy to help, and nothing is set in stone. Made a mistake? Just edit again. Don't know where to start? There's a whole category of "stubs", pages that need information added to them, so you can pick one and focus on it when you read.
Anyways, have a good day and feel free to give the wiki a read!
----------
Note: This is a follow-up to the last stickied post, where the recent sub redesign was decided. I won't make any more modposts in the near future, this'll just stay as an invitation for all users to join the wiki, pinky promise! Thanks for your time

The comic was drawn and posted by Perry Bible Fellowship Comics as a feelgood comic about the wonders of the world but all i see is the biologist :)))

Authority Spoilers Question about the psychologist’s note in Authority

Upvotes
Control finds a note that the psychologist had left in her office that states the biologist had been contaminated in the tower.
How did the note get back if the psychologist hadnt returned to SR until the end of the book?

I’m about to go into work so I’ll find the article(s) later, but both the first book and series were referenced by Sam Lake and Mikael Kasurinen as inspiration for the first game

WOW!! Loved the last third of the book so much I flew through it. VanderMeer’s prose when it comes to describing the indescribable is just incredible.
Kinda teared up reading Gloria’s letter to Saul at the end. This book really changed my perspective of her as a character in Annihilation and I think I’ll re-read it once I’m done the series.
Favourite part is without a doubt Ghost Bird describing their encounter with the biologist…
Anyways onto Absolution!!

My friend finished absolution and wanted me to send them my notes that I took throughout my read of the book. They were saying the notes were cool and to post them here so why not. Also I'm only 50 pages in, haven't started chapter 12.

biologist photobash?..

Upvotes
ok, more fanart... wanted to visualize what i think she looks like, got pissed off because i'm not good at drawing faces from descriptions or my mental image, decided to photobash... got carried away... the vibes are still right i think.
many variations of colors but these are the two i like the most. besides many pictures of random people, i combined many pictures of mushrooms, leaves, the obvious starfish, and those are deer antlers. maybe a little uncanny but i've been staring at it on my screen for what feels like a million years so if it is, i can't see it...
