I feel terribly sorry about this, especially towards our erstwhile FPS protaganist who literally started voting on my very last Quest post but I doubt I'll be able to continue this quest. I have it outlined out through this whole first "mission" but I feel pressed down with how ambitious I decided to make my very first Quest I ever actually undertook. I put a lot of thought into the whole mission system and to make the choices relevant but I really wanted to put in more time to craft substantial posts and it'll be hard to do once this Quest moves farther in and it's time I honestly don't feel I have especially if the writing portion of it becomes a struggle for me and my muse and/or schedule. So I think this Quest might be going on hiatus or just be suspended as prematurely as it is.
I'd been waffling about making an announcement but figured I owed it to y'all for how blessed I feel that you all participated in my very first Quest for these past few months.
I still want to write a Quest or some sort of interactive story with reader feedback because it makes my writing dynamic, but I'll probably try something that is more along my tastes for writing and not as grandly ambitious as this is with the entire influence/skills/traits system and other things I was going to add (I had developed a basic resource point system as well that would be implemented in all of this) in trying to make this both a 'strategy' and 'character' focused Quest simultaneously.
When I do attempt another Quest, and I have several ideas running about in my mind, it'll probably be something more character based, and be easier for me to write towards. Something along the lines of using 'canon' derived characters more implicitly since I actually adore writing action scenes, character interactions and hypothetical encounters, and I LOVE writing crossover nonsense. So it'd be something more faster paced and streamlined, which would probably be easier for me to work towards writing. And I'd try to figure out some sort of simpler 'system' I can use to give an idea of character progression and consequences from choices.
But yeah, I loved writing (most) of the stuff in this Quest. But a combination of muse, delays, over ambition/inexperience and just simple time left me struggling with continuing to write this stuff after the Holiday Season.
If and when I get some new ideas bubbling in my head, I'll be sure to share them here or in a new thread and pester you all with tags.
Also my ego does derive some satisfaction from being one of the two original Quests on this budding forum to gain some real traction that wasn't ported over from another website.
Thanks everybody! I appreciate your support!
