Questionable Questing

I'm still curious why you made your own setting. I know you said you didn't want to keep writing smut when it wasn't as fun for you as the world building and character stuff, but what was your breaking point for breaking away from ASOIAF entirely?

Wanting thay feeling of ownership. Command. Absolute responsibility and credit.

The feeling of me and Jackal did something unique and it is loved. We are doing wild shit we never did as fully in ASOIAF

Andy333

I get that. When ever I write on one of my stories or quests, I'm always telling myself this is the last one. This is the last test before you write your actual book, then call up your cousins and a couple other family members/friends to use their connections to get it published. Finally become a professional writer like you've always wanted. lol.

Andy333

But I know I'm not ready yet. Still need a little more practice. Although I'm getting close, and I know I always mean it but genuinely. I think in another six months or a year I will have my own original something published somewhere. Being this sick has really given me the opportunity to see my old work, and see just how far I've gone and changed.

It feels good. Feels like progress when writing smutty fanfiction sometimes feels like a waste of time.

I want Charlie written and how interlude

Andy333

I can't wait to start writing again as soon as this bug finally leaves. Doing better everyday, but I still cough hard enough I need to catch my breath afterwards. Varys can be super terrifying when given good writing. lol. Genuinely thought for a second he was going to kill them despite being best friends/family with them.

How you like his characterization as a uncle and brother and friend?

Andy333

I like how as much as he loves them, he's always holding back a part of himself either out of trauma or because it prevents him from being able to properly do his job.

You click bottom link to new quest. Very short first update

Andy333

Oof, it's on SV now? lol.

Larger audience for non porn storytelling we hope

Andy333

Yeah, but everyone from QQ's already going to be turned off by the lack of porn, and then combine that with moving to an entirely different website and you're probably not going to keep that many people from here. Have you published any stuff on SV before this? You or Jackal? Something so that people know who you are or are you starting over from scratch?

Andy333

And oh shit, do not advertise your stuff on QQ over there. I'm serious. In fact I would use totally different usernames and try to differentiate yourself from both accounts. I'm not saying all SV users, but there are some of them who will look up your old stuff and see some of the under age romances and misogyny and start some shit.

Andy333

You remember some of that discord drama you had, where one of your friends on there found your work and had a total meltdown over that. Shit like that could happen if you're not careful.

Bob is bob

We can do Space Battles if there is a issue and we have no link to the QQ content.

I wouldn't be so sure about QQ disliking no porn. We did a frak ton more and more story over porn as time went on

Bob is bob

Bud, there's a Game of Thrones incest quest on QQ right now that has a thread on SV

Andy333

Just be careful is what I'm saying. Again it's not every SV member, it's just that there are some people on that site who are very frank about having some personal history or traumas in real life and it makes certain kind of stories triggers for them.

Bob is bob

Fair. We are doing fantasy. Romance as part of story only. It is not and will not be porn

Andy333

Don't hold back. Write the story you want and have fun doing it, that's why people write. It's certainly not for the pay, since outside the mega stars most author's today either have side Hustle, a husband/wife to fill in, or a patron to keep afloat.
