Glad you liked it! Feel free to share your thoughts!`

It's been ten years so I don't remember the exact timeline, but I feel like Homestuck either hadn't started yet or was still really early. I do know that I'd read Problem Sleuth, as did most of the people who were suggesting at the time.

But outside the 'retrieve arms' joke I wouldn't say either MSPA influenced me a huge amount! Tezakia was heavily influenced by the early TG quest 'Rubyquest', as well as a couple early TGchan/questden quests. Problem Sleuth felt more like a fun comic I read, where the early quests felt more like an actual interactive storytelling extravaganza that I wanted to be a part of.

Ok finally replying to this.
So, to be completely honest, Tezakia Quest wasn't great. Though, it actually completed in a satisfying way, which is nice, and it was also very long, which I regard as a plus as long as the story is at least somewhat good and easy to follow, so compared to other quests it's up there.
But like, that context accounted for, it was mostly just okay. I didn't find the romance that relatable or interesting, so that took a lot out of the character interactions for me.
I think you did throw in too many ideas at the end there, with the big fleshy growths (I think there was a vague indication that they were connected to Iiji in some way, but nothing specific was said about them. they were just kinda there, as obstacles to get around) and portal technology (was it explained why/when the facility transported from the desert where Sekani fell into it to the weird void? i dont remember). Magic Johnson in particular felt a lot more like a plot device than a character, he didn't really do anything different from what the regular non-sentient magicka was doing to the characters (I hope you say what happened to him in the sequel, I want to know, even if it's just that he died without any creatures nearby to feed on).
By the end I was a little confused with what Iiji's plan actually was. She wanted to spread magicka throughout the world, I got that, but I thought the reason she wanted Sekani was because all the ki-jaara there were female, and she needed a suitable mate. Except, by the end of the quest it seemed there had actually been several males in the facility? There was Dilia's boyfriend, some of the Klis-khar scientists were male, and I think at least one of the ki-jaara encountered later on was male? I don't think the mating motivation was mentioned during the final fight, instead Iiji wanted to steal the power of the gods from Sekani, so I'm not sure what happened there. This didn

Going from 'I liked it' to 'it's not great' describes the quest perfectly: Very flawed, but made with a ton of love.

Since it's silly to critique something made 10 years ago, I'll focus a bit more on what I'd do to fix some of the issues now, with a decade of experience behind me.

-----

The Sekani/Amiel romance is something I'd completely rework if I could go back. Either to slow it down and make it more natural, or to cut it and have them become BFFs instead. Amiel and Dilia (and to an extent Sekani and Kinasa) had way more chemistry than the two main characters together.

Their romance suffered from 'it's 4 chapters oops I mean 12 chapters' pacing on top of their lack of chemistry.

Amiel is a character I'd rework in general (the 10 year anniversary animation shows a bit of what Amiel would be like if I wrote her now), though Sekani at least had enough personality to be a protagonist (the protag is never the most interesting character, after all).

>I think you did throw in too many ideas at the end there, with the big fleshy growths
At the end? The entire quest was me throwing things at the wall to see what stuck! I basically winged it, doing things that sounded good assuming future-me would figure out the details.

In case you're randomly curious.

------
Perfect majibeasts: Sekani, Tayza, Jiniki, Dilia until chapter 9, Iiji until chapter 12, the tezakian majibeast in chapter 3, the Klis-khar who escaped the base before the events of Tezakia Quest.

These majibeasts look more feral, and are more powerful. The symbiosis of majicka and flesh is more complete.

------
Imperfect majibeasts: Kinasa, Delkin (maybe you'd be perfect if anyone liked you!), The Diuban majibeast, the two majibeasts who joined Iiji in the final battle, that one klis-khar scientist in chapter 12, the Lian majibeast seen with Delkin.

The symbiosis of majicka and flesh didn't take quite so well, leading to weaker majibeasts who retain more of their original look.

Like, don't get me wrong. You have a point.
Normally I'd back you up with it.
The always friendly/well adjusted/optimal path despite established character traits is a general problem /quest/ tends to have.

This problem is negated however, when the quest is run by a skilled author.
Like Radial, for example.

Radial has been expertly translating what we want to do into how Slime [Or Slimes current Avatar:Emils] would do it. Often times we tell slime to do simple social thing, Slime tries, and just ends up failing either failing, or down right misinterpreting our orders.

Slime itself interprets things in a mechanical, almost alien way.
Emils though, is a pretty well established form that acts and reacts in line with half a dozen threads worth of training. Listening to us, being sneaky, not murdering everyone she sees, mimicking others, and trying to appear normal, are all in character.

While people shouldn't attack you for suggestions that depict a socially inept Emils(As they provide options for her inevitable social missteps), Emils is a form that strives to constantly better herself through those around her, and the majority of suggestions should reflect that.
We need only suggest the ideal. Radial can handle the nitty gritty details of what actually happens.

What would the equivalent action to crying have been if she was in slime form instead of this blasted meat puppet?

>Sooo I decided to open the discussion thread for this quest a bit early to make up for missing my deadline! ^^; Feel free to ask questions about Melodie and Rosefluff or the world they live in.
So who's the guy bleeding next to Rose in the background while Melodie browses 4chan?

>who's the bleeding guy?

That's just my persona! You can also see him as a doll on Melodie's bookshelf.

Hey I mirrored this quest on MSPFA here, all the updates together. So that's a thing. https://mspfa.com/?s=33028&p=1

I want to ask, what recognizable species are going to appear in this quest? Is that a spoiler? There's Slissa, obviously, but what others are there going to be? And is this meant to be in some way canon to the quests these species originate from?

Thanks for the mirroring!

A lot more recognizable species are planned for this quest, but saying which specific ones would probably veer into spoiler territory. I will say that any species is up for inclusion, as long as the creator gives me permission to use them.

The inclusion of species from other quests is in no way canon to the respective quests. I am writing The God Damned to be a self-contained, though it will have a few questden references and easter eggs.

I appreciate your emotional investment in Likol, but I'd like to mention his original appearance and death was a fair while ago at the end of the Asteroid Intermission. I bring it up because I'm not really sure how to feel about the part of UnSe devoted to Likol- after all, we already knew what was going to happen, and to me it felt more like getting to see more of Likol and what he did before his sacrifice than a loss.

Also, even disregarding all that, I'm glad you reminded me because now I'm remembering the times Likol had with Okei. Fun times.

>>131947

Good times were had by all, even if some of us won't admit to it.

So I just got done reading through all of AsteroidQuest and the last thread appears to be in the grave yard. Used CTRL+F to search this thread for mentions of that to see what is up and didn't get anything, but I'm probably just bad at it. What's going on with that? Is the quest dead or was just that thread thrown out cause Lago didn't like where it was going? Sorry if this has already been answered.

>>131960
Don't panic about things being in the graveyard, they just go there automatically when they haven't been updated in a certain period of time. Quests get brought back from there into activity again all the time. Plenty of Lago quest threads have been there and back before.

>>131962
Oh okay, good to know! Checking the dates that makes a lot of sense. Hope to see it back soon then!

>>131932
oh no, making dream worlds physical places is a TERRIBLE idea in your setting. That makes the dream world a desirable place to go as a factory of LITERALLY ANYTHING if you have a cooperative dreamer. Not to mention this suggests dreaming creates temporary dimensions. Where presumably when the dream ends everything is full on un-happened. Unless you mean in the Inception sense in which case why would the body die.

That’s assuming there aren’t rules in this objects created in the dream world react differently to things of the cognitive world the dream world is also not a temporary dimension otherwise broken could get there no the dream world is a separate reality sure you can get anything you want but using just the dream you would live long as food there wouldn’t fill you, sleep won’t rejuvenate you, things wouldn’t work the way they should and things from the dream reality cannot enter the cognitive reality... also it is possible to leave a dream if you fall in just don’t get caught up in it acknowledge it as not real... the dream world is strange...

The void
An infinite unending space of nothingness that waste, trash, or things ignored by dimensions end up in it is possible to fall into this unending space if you break the space-time continuum and it will want to consume you if you continuously disrupt the space time continuum as that is what the void is for it is the balancer of space and time it keeps all in check for as many life there is death for all creation there is destruction... for all existence there is void... the void is a strange place that no one can fully understand nor should try to understand it is every shifting and changing rules continuously being rewritten the further in you go the deeper into the void one is the harder it is to get out the void has 12 layers the first three are the boundaries between dimensions and are the most stable the next three are where the people who continuously mess with the space time continuum go and the bottom three are stranger the tenth level is a defensive layer for the eleventh as the eleventh level of the void is home to the one known as Fate keeper of the rivers of fate... the twelfth layer’s purpose is unknown as it is inescapable or should be for it has been claimed to have been escaped from by three people... one a destroyer who now is long dead another a pure soul and the last a knowledge keeper they have been dead for a long time so they cannot be put to the question
The void has access to a light a strange light as it emanates from the darkness of the void
The void itself seems to have emotions and though and perhaps may have a connection to the element of void if so the element would become a technical thirteenth level to the void...

>>131937
So we are in a multi-multi-verse?
Is the dream-verse also a multi-verse?
Is the cognitive multi-verse and infinite multi-verse?
A dream reality is a world where knowledge is, rather directly, power. If you can get cognitive matter into dream world the reverse should be possible. Even if dream stuff can not chemically react with cognitive matter, they can collide. Thus, you could take a little button that will just detonate into dreamstuff and shove all cognitive matter away, to the point that, for practical purposes, the cognitive dimension is gone.
The only effective counter to this I can think of would be if a dreamscape quickly returns to a 'blank slate' state if it lacks a dreamer to shape it. thus taking something out of the dream-verse has it quickly return to 'nothing' as the cognitive-verse has no dreamer.
This way it is not a case of cognitive matter destroys dreamstuff (or vice-versa) or else entering the dream world would cause you to just melt everything (or be melted by everything)
>>/quest/954736
For theoretical concerns it matters only that it is possible, not if we currently have access to a method to do so.
>>131938
Ah cool so we don't have to make all our own light here
The deeper layers sound cool, but too risky to attempt to venture down to.

The dream world does technically reside in the realm of power for mind there is also the realm of dreams in the realms of power but it would be more appropriate in this case to call it the realm of creativity... also yes that’s why the stuff from the dream world can’t come into the cognitive world it’s connected to a dreamer the whole process of the dream world is confusing but it doesn’t end... there are layers to it the mass dream the singular dreams {which count as a layer} the void {no dreams yes it is connected to the actual void and can fall into the void this way} prophetic {where all the see the future dreams happen} and the nightmares the mass dream is the top layer where people usually enter and it flips with the nightmare level depending on the singular dreams layer if the majority is nightmares or good dreams the mass dream is the culmination of all dreams it won’t go away as it is the template for dreams it is the masses view of the world like mementos but objects there are still connected to dreamers... now I talk about this because you can get in you just need help in doing so plus it can kill anything it wants

>>131237
okay, i don't get why a bunch of people are saying this site isn't active anymore when it very much is (as is the discord channel :/), but whatever; this is definitely a perfectly fine place to finish coxwette if you're still willing!

i am definitely still interested to see how everything turns out, so count my vote as yes on that front

i'd prefer a quest format, but if you feel you need to make it a comic instead, i understand. i think it'll lose a little bit of what makes coxwette special though

>>131502

To be honest, it felt like it had some missed opportunities.

We never got to see what was behind that safe in the room, for example. Or read that story about the muffin man, as scary as Selma would have made it. Or learn even a small amount of french to see if we could convince Rachel to help us with the entrance to the catacombs since we spoke with Sally about doing that 2 or 3 times, maybe we could have meet Julia earlier on the way and things could have gotten interesting considering she was the one who raided the medical cabinets. We also never got to know what was that brownish compound about, thought it was probably just some kind of drug made by her. Probably.

All that flirting and the strange outcomes that came with them were pretty great, but I think we could have done that while making progress.

Super late, but:

>>Is this site still active enough to warrant continuing it here?

I think so, but barely. I'm not on here nearly as much, and I honestly think that the lack of individuals is just because there's fewer marquee quests updating consistently. They'll trickle in, but even though we have good quests, they take so long to update that even as notoriously patient tgchan is, people lose interest.

>>Should I entertain the idea of making a final chapter in comic form?
Hmmm...I always got the feeling that you were more into comic-making than quest-making, to be honest. While it wouldn't be my suggestion, you might find yourself happier with having full creative control, so to speak.

>>Is anyone still interested? 🤔
I am, yes.

I really hope this isn’t dead. Trash Knight too, for that matter.

I hadn't read this since I'd graduated highschool, thought it would've ended by now.

I'm not sure that I'm glad it's continuing, sad that I didn't get to read much and have to wait, or scared that this might just get dumped (or that Charlemagne will be miserable continuing this)

Regardless, Coxwette has always been a bit special to me. Chuck sure is one horny motherfucker.

While you are correct in that, as a collective mind whose thoughts are spoken out loud, voidsy can't actually help his worst thoughts being broadcasted and that a morally good character who continues to be morally good and straight is boring as hell, this isn't just a story. it's a quest. Everything that gets suggested in the main thread can be used or ignored by the author as they see fit.

However, I don't believe that the above fully excuses you going the extra mile to make the truly awful suggestion just because no one else has. Your actions have consequences after all, and last time there was a slip up we severly upset the very first non-tcp character that was introduced.

Readers tend to need a lot of prompts for where to go, especially early before a proper audience is built for the quest. A bit of handholding or 'railroading' early on to help lead people interesting directions can help.
