Thi is my default question when i see people putting lots of effort into fan work, but whatever. You obviously have some measure of writing talent here, so why a fanwork? Sure, its a guarantee of readership, but I can't help but feel you're wasting potential by riffing off of other peoples work so much.

Bolian Blues posted:Just chiming in to say I've never been able to get into or understand MSPA (nothing against people who do, I've just never "got" it), but this little Elder Scrolls fancomic is pretty fun. Don't care if it's derivative or unoriginal or whatever I just like reading it. I find MSPA waaaaaaaaaay too self indulgent to read, but this doesn't, yet, have that problem. It's far more approachable. As for Ethically bankrupt? Well, it's certainly mercenary as all hell, but seeing the Author actually has some reasons for this beyond "WOW IT'S SO GREAT IT'S THE BEST I'M GONNA WRITE ABOUT DR WHO BECAUSE I LOVE IT" makes me happier about the whole thing, mercenary or not.

It's less the Oblivion stuff (Which is an affectionate parody* and I can't hate it) and more the MSPA stuff that gets me, I mean, obviously this is far less obtuse than MSPA and has a palette that I can actually look at, but theres a lot of structural aping in a way that isn't satirical, and doesn't really add anything, it's just the same because, I assume, of the aforementioned desire to attract a crowd. Having said that. It looks quite cute, and by being a bit less out there than MSPA I think he's created something, to be honest, better. I don't know if I would read this, I would certainly read it over MSPA. *It's also a very mild parody, occasionally it touches on Oblivion things but.. not too often. I'm not saying that it's good or bad, it does mean it doesn't really add anything though. Does the Oblivion aspect really pull readers? Seems like your readership would be far more of an MSPA lot.

Captain Oblivious posted:Well, I think the Oblivion aspect isn't too minor Further in now, yeah, I spoke too soon. - Also, progressing through it, it moves fairly swiftly away from MSPA, to the point that weird holdovers like ==> seem pretty pointless. But I suppose I can accept this as a kind of weird little side genre as opposed to a knockoff. Edit - Oh hey lookit my opinion on this turn around.

clockworkjoe posted:ahahahaha this is adorable It's a slightly different thing to derive elements from someones work and to simply place your story within it. However, it's mostly a sort of parody (although thats a really weird vehicle for all of the self loathing in the story) so it pretty much gets a pass on that front from me. I'm still a bit iffy on the MSPA stuff, I understand that it's almost a new genre and certain things are going to carry over, but some of the carryovers are simply there as an MSPA fan grab and I actually think they hurt the presentation of the story to any outsiders.

The text/picture as and when needed format is certainly interesting. I'd be quite interested to see how it used in a non comedy story. Also, is anyone aware of non interactive stories using the format? I can only think of Hyperbole and a half.

Captain Oblivious posted:No. Katia is the hero of Oblivion, that's been made fairly clear by her dreams of Emperor Uriel and the amulet. Seems unlikely, unless he's going to write a mindwipe for every character who has met her but doesn't know her from Adam in the game.

Meme Emulator posted:Google "Terezi Pyrope" Google "Princess Jasmine" Google "Asuka Langly Soryu" Google "Angry Beavers" Google "Doug Funnie" Google "Lisa Simpson" Google "Meg Griffin" Google "Son Gokuu" Google "Bewitched" Google "Gears of War" Google "Vampire: The Masquerade" Google "All In The Family" Google "Shark Tale" Google "Toy Story 2" I think, for the most part, much higher profile things than prequel. Anyway, no, it's not surprising though. The internet! Also, Angry Beavers porn? Hilarious.

Kazerad posted:For instance, there was a time when surviving the winter was a really big deal for most people. We eventually learned enough about agriculture and food storage that it became less of an issue, we developed machines and transportation systems that let us harvest more efficiently and survive even through drought and floods, and today we have even delved into genetic engineering that could perhaps one day let us grow crops in otherwise inhospitable environments. That is exciting! Hasn't it? My DvD storage sustains me during a creative drought.
