Questionable Questing

A tub of ice cream and a night of sleep later, I'm back chugging my way through, if a bit more cautiously. I'm unfortunately something of a painfully sympathetic person when I get attached to something or someone. So when something like 'that' happens, I start withdrawing subconsciously from the characters, which means that reading the story gets...lackluster to an extent.

Tis the reason I've been having trouble reading any of the Dresden Files since Cold Days came out, if you know the series.

Things get better for the characters later.

It's not something that tends to stop me from reading a story, but it does tend to sap the enjoyment factor of whatever I'm reading, until I either get over it naturally or something happens in the story that takes the reason for my melancholy and does a 180 with a flip and a wink.

You got to remember that it is a quest so the mood may change with the updates fast.

I'll admit that that's the reason I tend to avoid quests unless I'm 'extremely' involved in them personally, given how quick the mood can change based on how bi-polar the votes are being. All based on who happens to have the time to look in on the quest and do anything more than throw a vote on a user they like's plan whatever it may be.

You always hate restricted vote quests, when you're not among the chosen few, but you have to admit that they are more consistent.

You have to remember that Sage writes very good 3 dimensional characters, sometimes not very good.
