Reader-Driven Story-Format Quest: Lyn's Version

Post by LynKit »

Okay, I have four ideas bubbling around in my head. Probably more, but these are the ideas I can pinpoint.

One: a fae apoc road trip, exploring the apoc, the magic, and survival

Two: Save Harry Potter - it's been done 3,000 ways; let's do it our own way. Someone moves in next to the Dursley Residence and Everything Changes.

Three: What Sufficient Velocity calls a Civilization Quest - rather than a person, we are following a civilization. The ship Merriweather was bound for a colony planet when it underwent critical failure of several key systems and was forced to either make an unplanned and inelegant landing on the closest M-class planet or risk losing all hands to the vacuum of space. 

Four: The {x} Episode: The protagonist is a member of a supernatural investigatory team. They have mysteries to solve - murders, thefts, possessions, hauntings, you know, normal stuff.

Five: Your suggestion here!

You had me at "Save Harry Potter" but I CAN NOT say no to a Civilization Quest. Any and all votes I may have go towards Civilization Quest!

(I had played three different Sid Meier's Civilization games as a kid before reading the first Harry Potter book. Does it show?)

I remember being really excited when we got a new computer that could run Civ IV. This was... some time ago.

Is there such a thing?

I would say we should share links but our tastes in fanfic are very likely venn diagrams that look like

Bee has read at LEAST an order of magnitude more HP fanfic than the totality of all the things you've ever written, Lyn, take that as you will.

That's my secret, Cap. I'm always bad at computers.

...I am slightly boggled.

Then again I have accidentally read 500,000 words of HP fanfic in a long weekend.

B, have you ever read the one where Hogwarts is a spy school and there is no magic?

If you mean fix-it fics where someone saves Harry from the Dursleys pre-Hogwarts, yeah, that's been a thing since at least Prisoner of Azkaban. I've never been really into them, but I'm still fond of the Dangerverse stories... though that was a lifetime ago lmao
