  • So, just checking, is there a NWD chapter ten or book 2 chapter 1 or whatever in the works? Or did it not get its life insurance paid up?

    Hey Lee, I was thinking you need to adjust your release schedule. You've stockpiled a few commissions there.
    Maybe something like;
    Week 1-Draconian remnant then a commission.
    Week 2-My harem academia then a commission.
    Week 3-Arcane curiosity explored then a commission.
    Week 4-a multiversal glimpse then a commission.
    2 chapters release a week should work IF you ever stick to your goal of 6k words a chapter.

    I appreciate the suggestion, but it's 3k a chapter minimum, and I like my 'main rotation then 2 others' thing just fine.

    Do what works best, just hoping you don't drown coz I'm always looking forward to your next release. Whenever and whatever that may be.
    And looks like we're both wrong, a check of your kofi says 'of at least 4k words' a chapter.
    Leecifer

    Main rotation chapters are at least 3k. Kommissioned chapters area at least 4k.

    This is an interesting theory, but I feel like the actual case is that italicized words give more information that isn't obvious to people complaining about it and, given that they don't want to learn or engage their brains, that makes them feel lesser, which creates the outraged reaction. Or maybe it's just "it's different, which means it's bad".

    Hey lee Sorry, English is not my first language. One question, have you thought about returning to worm someday in the future now that you've improved as a writer?

    You can always change that by donating to have a commissioned. Even a little bit each month will eventually see a new chapter be written. Though it may take Leecifer around 6 months to actually write it with his current backlog.

    Random line of thought I thought would be better shared here, would being forced to take a very weak weave based work contract or nothing one of the worst ways for the company to fuck a Lee over?
    From that Lee's POV, of course.
    Dragonhulk
    Hey Lee, I know you aren't prioritizing them because of the backlog of commissioned works, but I have a question about future MG's. One of the things I love about The Company that you and Cherico work in is that you can use any CYOA instead of the WC or the one you created for future builds.
    Dragonhulk
    Dragonhulk
    One of the things I liked the most about BTK and DS is that you didn't use any version of the WC, and I'm curious if any other CYOA has caught your attention enough that you'd use them in a Company story in the future.
    Leecifer
    Leecifer
    I've got a couple ideas, though the 'issue' is that a lot of the other CYOAs, because they aren't required to parasitize another IP, can easily be turned into original fiction.
    Dragonhulk
    Dragonhulk
    True, but I've also seen a lot that focuses on one fandom, so while limiting could still be fun to see done. Even the ones that encourage original fiction could be dumped in an IP. Still, looking forward to what you write no matter what CYOA is or is not used.

    Done marathoning Draconian, but it's RIGHT on the edge of 2 weeks silent. Should I PM my marathon comments? Post now? or are you near another update?

    Random question but good is your knowledge of the Devil May Cry games or the netflix Castlevania anime?

    Just considering how good a template/possession target V would make for that setting.
    Dragonhulk
    I just found an author on fanfiction.net named Vimesenthusiast. They use a speech to text program that allows them to produce three 30k chapters a month. With your backlog of commissions have you considered using a similar program?
    Leecifer
    Leecifer
    While I liked Vimesenthusiast's earlier works, their use of that program seems to have encouraged some very bad habits, as all their stories started getting very... basic and same-y, to the point I couldn't keep reading them.

    While I could blitz through my backlog, I wouldn't be delivering on the standard of quality people have come to expect, and that I, personally, hold myself to.
    Dragonhulk
    Dragonhulk
    The age old problem of quantity versus quality. Now that you have pointed it out I can even see the trap. I know when I am speaking I don't think as deeply as when I'm writing, so that probably translates when using speech to text programs.

    Oh well it was just a greedy thought on how I could get you to give me more stories quicker.

    Good for taking notes or writing out scenes, so long as you plan to go back over them with a fine toothed comb to see if the story flows properly. I also read Vime, but I find that he tends to get lost on the details and doesn't often check to ensure he's not treading the same path again.

    Hello, a question, are all the stories on your profile active or are any of them paused? and the story of star wars PP, that you have in FF is on pause?
    Reynard69
    Two questions, if you don't mind.
    When contractors go for their final test, do they have any thing they purchased? Or just the company stamp?
    Do you have a list of seminars and teachers? Because I can't find one on any of the WC pages I've found so far.

    2b. - the Class A required seminar (can't remember the name off-hand) which is taught by a Cenobite with TA's including the Major from Hellsing and is essentially Brewster's Millions-ing the A-holes when it comes to Sadism, to try and get their shit under control.

    3. Theoretically Class B's requirement is some kind of 'Learn how to Survive Court/Make Deals', Class C's is Mythos Hogwarts where you learn the basics of summoning, and Class D's is a couple months doing legal paperwork while dealing with Lich/Vampire/Etc. Personalities, like an Undead Boston Legal.

    4. But these are all if you want to, as the entire point of this is that all of these things are only true in some sub^nth departments of The Company, and not others, so it's really up to you what you want to do, as these are less rules and more... guidelines.
    AngelicKnight.
    So odd question but regarding the Stacy clones/copies used for the agent training and such...

    Are they in the catalogue to buy? Like obviously not the "real" one used by writers and cyoa enthusiast's but the version used by characters in the various stories?

    Because I could absolutely see some nutter who survives their initiation wanting a Stacy to vent their frustrations on/keep as a pet/buy for old times sake.

    Way I'm running it, Agents aren't available for general purchase, as that's not their contract. That said, in the infinite multiverse, did a Stacy fuck up so bad she became product? ... probably, and more likely than most Agents.

    Wait isn't there a gotcha for the catalogue? Because getting a Stacy from the gotcha would be hilarious.

    Had the same thing happen to me a number of years ago. No actual pain for a fair while, though extreme temperatures in liquids which came into contact with it changed that.

    1 issue with it is that depending on if it's just a large chip or actually gets to roots/other sensitive tissues it can be a major vector for infection. Given long enough or just bad luck that can lead into heart issues.

    In any case, I wish you the best of luck on this, happy holidays, and thanks for the various stories you've created and displayed.

    Eh, there was no mute on Lee this time, so I don't care. I was only ever really concerned about not being able to read his stories here and needing to find wherever he moved if it happened suddenly and without notice, like what happened to Zaralaan and Emperor Tippy on SB. I have 1.0 saved cause of the drama, and that is enough.

    This whole thing feels weird. Credits usually are supposed to show up at the end of a document. Then they complain about how it's not in the table of contents? And Lee also left a link to the original on the same post his download was in. Idk why this escalated to the point where the mods backtracked(Also isn't it weird that the mods left the link to WC up in the thread?) I feel I'm missing something here.

    Yeah, the problem with the credits at the end is a bit sus. That's normally were credits go.

    No, it isn't weird about the other link being left up. It wasn't the 'problem,' so it remained untouched. That tracks.

    Hey Leecifer, why are you Muted? Can you even respond while Muted? Did I accidentally click something to Mute you on my end or did you get Muted for the whole site? What does being Muted even mean? I am confusion.

    So, I just read Abaddon Born(e), well, more like skimmed the parts of it that are on SV and then read every chapter from "Break Second Triggers" to the end on Fanfiction (turns out my college blocks FF.net so I had to read it on my phone using mobile data) in a 2 week period and I learned a few things:

    Are you planning to put out a rebalanced World catalog to go with the CC? I admit some more frames of reference would be helpful in trying to pin down a Danger Rating. The original DRs are oftentimes... questionable.
    Something I think people forget is that a lot of content starts out the same to similar and then evolves after all pathfinder was originally just a barely changed d&d 3rd edition. it took a decent amount of time and effort to make an actual different system from it. You make some good stories so don't be bothered too much by nitpicking.
    Finsdale
    Just read the catalogue pdf. I like the rebalanced start up, the three tiers of defence and cost/benefit changes. A much easier to use ride system. Treasure hoard deserved your price hike for how broken it was. Residential changes, may be put a "stunning Villa" between sweet home and manor with grounds.
    BTW they locked the thread so I wrote here. I'll delete this if you want me to when it reopens.
