thread to prevent derail in the company has fallen on fic preferences.

[K70Amam()to]

I had meant to do this in a pm but qq would not let me star a conversation with Will514e so to not do a derail on https://forum.questionablequesting....y-has-fallen-waifu-catalog-inspired-si.18794/ i'll be putting my response to his statement below :

While I would love to share my preference, how bout we don't derail the thread by discussing our favorite stories. But if you want to know in short, my preference is the complete opposite of Taylor Varga, and I feel like the fic itself really fail to justify its tremendous word count. Fics I personally felt managed to be far more compelling in far less words are: Sleeping with the Girls, One Foot - Another Multiverse SI, and When in doubt, blame the Eldar.

here.

I've actually read Sleeping with the girls and it was rather enjoyable. and i'll even admit that the wordcount for taylor varga can sometimes come short of just how much is story and how much might be left to apocrypha entries. but considering i actually watched and enjoyed luna varga (the ova series that serves as the non worm half of the crossover) i found my self enjoying a fic for a series i thought was too niche for most to write for.

did you look at Distance learning for fun and profit? its written by the same author as taylor varga but is a bit more concise in its approach.

It looks promising. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people whom continous exposure to Worm fics, Taylor as the protagonist and Taylor memes, have soured me on Worm fics as a whole. Even then, my preferences run somewhere along the line of small scale conflicts and character drama. Taylor Varga's author penchant for "Bigger is Better" and how much of a Mary Sue his Taylor tends to be, it's just not for me.

I like power fantasies as much as anyone else, but my power fantasy run somewhere along the line of: wits, guts and some friends is all you need to overcome anything. Stories where one character is the specialest of special person in the world, and everyone else best get out of the way, leave a sour taste in my mouth. A shallow and boring fantasy with little room for anything else besides "Escalation Queen" meme. Interesting for a while, but quickly forgotten.

well i just tried to send one and got this:

The following error occurred:

Participants:
You may not start a conversation with the following recipients: Will514e.

just like earlier.

it's why this thread was even formed. since i could not send a pm.

smol edit:
though come to think of it i couldn't even view your profile page (which is how i usually set up a pm to be sent). so maybe that is a factor?

Under the privacy section in account settings, there are options to limit who can view your profile (The options being All Vistors, Members Only and People You Follow Only) and who can start conversations. (Members Only and People You Follow Only).

Will514e presumably has his settings on People You Follow Only (I can't view his profile page either).
