      Do you have any advice for running quests? Your quests always seem really well put together and fascinating.
      1. daniel_gudman
        daniel_gudman
        Hmm. Probably something like "have a clearly defined & limited scope"? Knowing what you don't want to do, and wall it off.

        I'll check it out! I thiiiink the rec I was going to go for was Dungeon Crawler Carl, with survivors of our initial planet repo are recruited into a death game show. Where this fic stands out is the interaction with the showrunners and the audience, so you've got the crawlers trying to not only survive, but attract viewers and subscribers.

        Gotcha. Means that a wider range of pop culture references open up if I ever actually write the fanfic-fanfic that's been sitting in the back of my head for years.

        ...which means I now seriously have to consider whether people might use some more...colorful pop culture references for the principle character. Her magecraft is...rather prone to making strong, poor first impressions.

        I’ve actually read both translated light novels and all of the partial Vol 3 translation. It was actually also a candidate I had in mind for a lewd quest because the thing where “people inside the game accept Game Conceits as Common Sense” felt like it has good synergy with, say, a nudie mod.

        Oh, absolutely. But then you'd have to deal with, sorry, have the pleasure of dealing with, actually being in the buggy mess of New Communicate Online. Getting stuck inside other's models would only be the start. Armor bugs, sexed and non-sexed NPCs forks running around, the game confusing sex as combat and giving Weapon Proficiency accordingly...

        Yeah like honestly I could probably pull off “madcap comedy but also lewd” as like a story… but it would have required more planning work when honestly I wanted to write something simpler, just for the sake of writing habitually again.

      It's surprising you caught heat for overusing Kirito. He is the other side of the crossover's main character, using those as deuteragonists is generally accepted practice.
      1. daniel_gudman
        daniel_gudman
        As far as Argo Lewd Quest went it was the other way around actually: people did write-ins assuming "yeah he's the main character, of course we can bring him in as a side character", and I didn't want to do that.

        Well, thank you very much for writing it! It was one of the first fanfictions I read and I count myself sorta unlucky for reading it then. Thanks to you, so many fics afterward seemed outright terrible in comparison and I started developing this terrible thing called taste. It was no longer possible to read trash and still enjoy myself.

        Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

        Atheists can’t do much math either considering they don’t believe in higher powers.

        But they don't need to believe, because mathematical higher powers have proofs.
