So, generally I don't post this kind of question- but is Deal with the Devil dead? Its probably the story that I reread the most on the entire site.
I am reading The Erogamer, and there are these [dice]9068[/dice] things that don't seem to make sense for a d100 dice throw. Is it possible to fix those? Thanks for writing this great story!

Those used to be QQ built-in references to a dice-rolling system. Not sure if anyone saved the old rolls, or how anyone would go around getting them back.

And before I forget, how would a mid-fantasy Groundhog-Loop setting like Mother of Learning (recently added to the Interactive WC, which I doubt you use anymore) work under your/Cherico/etc's rules? Things like Capturing someone who then gets erased and re-created at a spiritual level like MOL does, as an example, or the crazy nonsense at the end of Time Braid (the Naruto fanfic)?

I believe power gaming mechanics should be lessened the longer you want your story to last. With a story the size Lee writes they need to be kept to a minimum or else the MC would become so powerful so quickly that things would be boring, and you'd have to go the DBZ route of "I can destroy a boulder-> I can destroy a house-> I can destroy a city-> -> -> I can destroy the gods who created the multiverse."

Now Cherico on the other hand writes much shorter stories, so the MC gains power quicker using more power gaming mechanics. Still even he puts the breaks on things because the company fucks everyone, so they would fuck someone who power games even more.

Fair enough.
Before I crib any scenarios like Doomed Skies: how do you feel about Recursive Fanfiction, specifically how closely it follows your own plotlines?

Also, can we get some more 'Company Lore' posts in the Rants thread? Explanations for KoC/VV/the EXIT INTERVIEW faction would be nice, but also a glossary of terms like ROBBY since I don't recognize all of the euphemisms across all your different works?

Much appreciated! Fanfiction's kind of a legal gray area, but it seems rude to crib ideas without at least asking first and crediting them. And, do you have any 'list of terms' you might post to the Rants thread at some point, or some more "Ubiquitous Enemy Faction's" lore dumps for interested writers? Just asking 'cause it's painful to search for them in Story posts manually.

Check Index'd posts, as I think there've been some informational ones, both in my stories and Cherico's.

Ah, haven't checked his yet, I'll do that now.
They say the world of Jackie Chan Adventures is one of balance, so when the protagonists try to eradicate all the evil bad guys, then the world will be destroyed by imbalance of too much white people and no more black people
Hey, saw you talking about potentially migrating a story, but it being a lot of work. You should ask Xon on SB/SV if there's any tools or tricks. He's basically the GOAT of Xenforo.
Haven't posted much this week, have been a bit sick, but trying to write through this fever has been a bitch to handle.

Why is it that some family bloodlines are more tolerated than others, like no one's complaining about more Joestars after six seasons, but after six movies, everyone's like "enough with the Skywalkers already" or whatever

ah yes the vong the "greater evil" that the emperor was trying to fight or something

Not to mention that each joestar felt different in behavior, skills attitude and what power they had to play around with. So the Joestars kept it fresh, while the Skywalkers became stale.

The Joestars aren't defined by their bloodline. They are defined only by themselves.

So, I've been re-reading Draconian Remnant and, aside from realizing how many little plot hooks there are still left to resolve, I've found a deep appreciation for how well you write Torchwick. Given how little screen time he has in the show are you drawing from other forms of media to help depict him? Said another way, do you know of any other stories with torchwick like characters as I find myself craving more.
Are you still working on your story, or is it on hiatus?

It's unlikely I'll keep writing it, but a rework is very possible.

Would you ever update your Forever Fairy Tales: Sunrise. It has been years, so I don't have any hope or anything - but it was a really good story.
Hey man, I just picked up your new book. Nothing grand to say here, but it's really cool you took the leap to publish something, and I'm excited to read it. Hope you keep doing so; you're writing has a style I would describe as an earnest and holistic approach to world building that really scratches an itch I have for fiction.
Weird question but are you finished with uploading stuff to FFN? Just asking because I love listening to your stuff while working and noticed you stopped updating on it

No, but I've been having issues with it for a while.
Actually tried to do so just a few minutes ago.
Half the time it worked, half the time it told me my less than 5mb odts were over 5mb or not odts.

Ya assumed it was something like that FFN is hell for uploaders from what I hear. Only really use it because it has an inbuilt TTS system so I can listen to fics while I work. I really wish SB or QQ had a TTS that you could use
Is magic and how to steal it ever going to continue it is by far my favorite of your fics

Maybe. My problem is it's a story I'll need to rewrite in the initial sections because I don't like my prose from 4 years ago.
