You're supposed to put periods at the end of sentences, and not just when you press enter.

I die a little every time i see sentences without commas or periods. Run on sentences are disgusting.

>>29395811
My comma key is broken. I don't know where you are seeing multiple sentences in those posts though.
>>
>>29395840
I'm not talking about commas. There are two instances at least that could use a period or a question mark to make your posts easier to read.
>thing right? Ruby refused
>gravity of this situation. if we do not
Not using even periods correctly makes your posts read like they were made by a twelve year old Australian posting from a phone. Run on sentences makes you sound like a retard, and can hurt the readability of your posts and how seriously people take you, even if your posts are otherwise coherent and logical.
>>
>>29395893
In hindsight you are right I should have put a period after situation.
>>
>>29395893
Oh lawdy loooord, hallelujah! God, praise this anon.
>>
>>29395922
You could have put a period after "right" too.
You should get your comma key fixed soon, anon. Commas are important!
>>
>>29395955
Kek.

Some of this thread does seem to have a funny idea of what constitutes a run on sentence.
>>
>>29395965
Do you know what a run on sentence is?

Yes and I am saying the criteria cyoa has for them are far to stringent.

Is that actually the correct way to write that, or are you just shitposting and trying to sound smart?

>>

That is a terrible prompt. Wake up.
>>
>>29396099
I don't remember, but im not sure any sentence is supposed to end with "is." Or it could be my OCD.
>>
>>29396088
Don't wake up
>>
>>29396115
Out of curiosity, is English your second language. I've never been told you're not supposed to end a sentence with prepositions, and a quick google search shows that it's okay.

CAN'T WAKE UP
>>
>>29396115
I've never heard that rule before, and I've never gotten flack for ending sentences with "is."
You might be misremembering or enacting certain rules too strictly. English is a shit language with a shiton of exceptions. "Do you know what is a run on sentence?" Just sounds off to me.
>>
>>29396042
You're an idiot who doesn't understand grammar.

>>29396197
You are correct. Additionally, it's spelled flak.
>>
>>29396038
Noone has ever complained about this issue this much before, the problem is you anon, not sone strict criteria. Think of this as a shared blog, not a chatroom, if you had a blog, and were writing to a public audiance, would you write like you do?

This isn't just anons being OCD, our complaints are a form of self moderation. It's to keep things from getting sloppy, the laziness gets contagious, the standards get lowered and eventually the place descends into shitposting. It's what happened to my old site. [spooiler]ayyyyy lmao it's a fucking[/spoiler]
>>
>>29396217
>flak
Oh hey, you're right. I didn't even know flak and flack were two different words. Neato.
Thanks, friend.
>>
>>29396237
See, contagious. I proofread everything but the spoiler.
>>
>>29396197
Correct. The other anon was probably remembering the rule that you are not supposed to end your sentences with a preposition. Since the word "is" is not a preposition, the rule does not apply in this situation. It is a reasonable misconception, since the word "is" is often used as a copula to connect two ideas. It can also be used to predicate an object without assigning specific properties to it (if, for example, the only information you wish to communicate is that it HAS properties in the first place, and you are inviting an anon to demonstrate that he knows them).
>>
>>29395672
The correct way to write what you intended to say is:
>You know that was never portrayed as a good thing, right? Ruby refused to rape a succubus because the idea of subjecting somebody who tried to rape her(?) to sexual abuse horrified her.

>Funnily enough, there's a new character in Coltquest that is freaking out about foal fiddling.

Please, before continuing to post, familiarize yourself with the following grammatical concepts.
>First, Second and Third person.
>What a run-on sentence is.
>What a comma is.
>The correct usage of adjectives such as "even."
>How to correctly use linking verbs.

If I don't get a tie breaker I'll go with That one that hardly has any fan art or a Chooser if someone can think of a good pose or expresion for her to be drawn again.

Sharpie is a close second, I love Rem but she has a buttload of art already. Also, it has to be a pony I believe.

Does this make >>29400879 a very bleak statement about the currently active quests or does it have any redeeming qualities?

Quest has a great atmosphere.

The way the qm describes the castle and the way everything feels is fantastic.

No, it's a bleak statement about the fact that iFag exists.

The sound of waves awakes the pony, who slides off bed to gaze outside from the window.
Sea.
The pony grumbles for a moment before turning on the lights and opening the second floor's door to have a better look.
Yep, this definitely isn't the pony's neighborhood.
"This is bad."
"Why?" Asks the forget-me-not bird on the roof. "It's a lovely night to float around."
"Because I have to return a book to the library." The pony looks down. "And someone stole my balcony. Again."
"Better get going!"
"I'll go for the telescope, and search for the sails." Says the pony after a moment.
"Pony!" Caws the bird.
"What now?" Asks the pony from inside.
"What is your name?"
"Well, I am--"
"What is your race?" Insists the bird.
"My race?"
"In case you haven't noticed," Says the bird slowly, "There's a roof between us."

"I am Lettuce Leaf. A pegasus."
"Nice to meet you, Cabbage. May I ask a favor of you?"
"What is it?"
"If you could raise the ceiling just a little..."
"No can do, sorry." You trot to the basement and rummage around until you find your old sails and telescope.
After a few hours of fumbling with rope and the sails, the house is made into a serviceable boat.
"How is lettuce related to that?" Asks the bird, perched on your rump and looking at your your cutie mark.
"I learned here and there." You shrug, lifting the telescope.
To the north, what seems to be a dragon bathes calmly. After a moment it turns its head to you, eyes alight, and closes its eyes again with a shrug. There's something resting in its belly, but you can't see from this distance.
To the south, there's what seems to be a floating shack. There isn't any light coming from it.
To the west, a boat without sails moves lazily.
Where do you want to go?

>>29401456
That dragon makes me pretty curious.

>>29401456

>>29401456
>>29401657

This!
>>
>>29401728 >>29401657
I turn the house in the shack's direction and wait patiently until we reach it.
The houses collide with a loud clack, but no damage to either of them, so I tie them together and flutter to the door, then knock it.
There's shuffling inside, then a mare answers me, "What d'ya want at this hour?"
>>
>>29401798
Ask her where you are and where the closest land is.
>>
>>29401798
Do you know where I am?

>>
>>29401798
Did you know that there is a dragon batheing some distance away? Should I be worried?
>>
>>29401798
Hi. I'm a pegasus on a floating house island with a talking boat and I have no idea what is going on. Help pls.
>>
>>29401798
Hey QM. What's her race? Is she pretty like the setting sun on a cloudy horizon?
>>
>>29401805 >>29401808
>>29401816 >>29401824
>>29401860
You wait for her to open the door, but she doesn't. "Did you see a dragon bathing around here?"
It takes a moment for her to answer, "I am blind, boy."
"Oh."
"The dragon was nice enough to bring me here one time when my rope back home broke, but I haven't asked his name. The music's too loud."
"Thanks, would you know where 'here' is?"
It takes her a moment to answer, "Are you deaf?"
"Nnno..."
"Hit yourself in the head recently?"
"I don't think I did."
"This is the sea." She says.
"Which one?"
"What do you mean, which one?"
"And land? Do you know where that is?" I change the topic in hopes she'll know this.
"I don't think I understand." She says slowly. "Are you sure you didn't have an accident?"
"My house did appear here for no apparent reason."
Next time she speaks, she sounds angry. "No one will feed me if I don't fish, boy. Are you interrupting my sleep to make some prank?"
>>
>>29401937
You're not at all pranking her. You're lost and confused and looking for answers. We're sorry about waking her but if she is unable to help we will leave.
>>
Your waifu is a mango burner.
>>
>>29401937
I'm an very confused and very lost. I have no clue home my got here. It was as if I along with my home was teleported here.

Right. Guess we'll leave you to your sleep. Bye.
>>
>>29401979 >>29402172
"No, I am alone--"
"Mostly alone." corrects the bird.
"I am mostly alone and don't know what's going on and want to get back to land so I can find my way back home. Get my home back in place." You correct yourself. "Please?"
"You don't sound like a liar." The door opens, and a mare peaks outside facing in your general direction, "Tell me about this land of yours, what's so special about it that you'd say its name like that?"
"Like what? You step back, confused.
"Lovingly." She says simply.
>>
>>29402265
It's like the sea except you get to walk around on it and not slip in and drown. There are also others there and they are pretty nice. Usually. There are also a lot of interesting smells.

"Land is... Land is big, and it goes as far as the ey-- And it's filled with sounds!"
"Like the sea." She says.
"Only there's not so much water, it's all floor. And you can't drown or slip on it."
"Like a city?"
"Huh?"
"You know, a city. Lots of houses tied together?"
"Oh. No, land is even larger than that, you can have thousands of cities in land! And you don't need to tie them, because they don't float away!"
"Wouldn't that be precious..." She mutters.
"I come from a... a land called Equestria, and I was there when I went to sleep."
"Are you really sure you didn't just drift on your sleep? That happens, you know. The ropes break or come undone."
"No! Things don't drift on land! It's all a big floor!" I point to the grass around my home, "Like that, but a thousand-- a million times larger!"
"Like what."
It takes me a moment to remember she can't see, "I could take you to my home, so you can walk on it?"
"You try anything nasty and I'll make you a mare." She says threateningly, walking out and waving a hoof on the air.
I grab it and guide her to it, where she walks for a moment and, cautiouwly, lowers her snout to smell the grass.
"Huh." She brushes it delicately, "This isn't half bad."
"I know, right?"
"And you are saying there's more of it? And that you don't slip on it?"

"Lots of it, and there's sea too when the land ends and rivers, too... and you can slip on it if it's wet and you are going too fast."
"I guess nothing's perfect..." She chuckles, "And what's a rivers?"
"...Small streams of water on the land." You pause for a moment, then realize you forgot basic politeness, "What's your name?"
"Oh." She nods slowly, ignoring the second question.
You decide to let it go for now, "And you are an earth pony--"
"A what?" She interrupts me.
"An earth pony."
"Nnnoo." She says carefuly, "I am just a pony."
"You are an earth pony." You correct her back.
"No." She shakes her head again, getting impatient. "I don't know what you call me on this equestria, but I am just a pony."
"Alright, can you tell me about the dragon? What were you saying about the music? And how long has it been here?"
"The dragon was here before I was, so I dunno." She shrugs, "And he hears music from his gramophone all day long, even when fishing or sleeping." She looks irritated when she says it.

"Why don't you get earplugs?And--"
"Yeah, earplugs, let's be deaf too." She interrupts me.
"--And you know, there's ponies with wings or horns too," You brush her face with a wing to show her, "This is--"
"Yeah, you think I haven't heard that one? 'Hey, babe, wanna touch my wing'?" She laughs mockingly, shoving your wing aside, "Pegasi, unicorns, and ponies. That's how it is, I already know."
"The guy's wrong in the head, you see?" The forget-me-not bird perches on her head, "He's delusional, talks with birds, and thinks I can see through his roof. Crazy!"
"Yyyeah, and get away from me." She shakes her head to force the bird away, "You guys are really touchy in land, aren't you?"
>>
>>29403320
You're blind, I don't know how else I'd communicate certain things. Besides, I touched you once!
>>
>>29403320
Apologize. You thought you were in a place with only earth ponies around. Just goes to show that you have no idea where you are and you didn't want to assume. We're touching you more then we usually would with another pony because of the lack of sight.
>>
>>29403320
I touch you once and you assume I'm flirting with you?
>>
>>29403320
Sorry. Maybe the wing was a little much.
>>
>>29403320
Well guys, she's as helpful as a thesaurus written in jibberish. Maybe we should apologize and bid her good night. Back to her home she goes.
>>
>>29403320
Ok. So she's a bit insufferable right now. Understandable since we woke her up in the middle of 'fuck that it's still too early.' If she'd like to keep talking let's get some tea and coffee for the both of us if she want, or send her back to her home and bid her farwell.

"I only touched you once." You can't help but feel a little offended.
"And your forget-me-not did it too."
"I am not anyone's, nice-eyes. Free as the wind!" The bird perches on your rump.
"He just started following me." You explain, "But back home that wouldn't count as flirting, no. I just did because you can't see my wings... do you want some tea or something since I woke you up so late? Or early?"
"I won't fall asleep again if I do," She waves a hoof, "I don't think people stays awake during the night at land, so if you go to sleep now and leave our houses tire-- tied I'll answer any questions you have in the morn, is that fine?" She yawns, "The dragon's probably asleep at this time of night, too."

"There was a boat nearby, is there any issue if I check it out and came back?"
"So long as you don't wake me up..." She falls still.
"Do you want me to walk you back home?" You ask after a moment. She nods.
It takes nearly an hour, but you reach the sailless boat and put some reasonable distance between it and your home, "Hello?"
"Home delivery!" Caws the bird, posed somewhere on your home's roof.
There's no answer at first, but a small figure peeks down and crawls closer to you on the ship's boards, standing upside down.
It's too far for you to make its features besides a orange chitin, and it makes a sound you can't quite make out.
"I didn't hear you." You flutter closer to it hesitantly.
"Whahdya whand pahnee?" Burps the small creature.

"Do you know where I could find a flotilla or city?"
"Flahthylla." It repeats again.
"A bunch of ships, like an army?" You try to explain.
"Whydya whand tah ged near an armeeh?" The creature sounds confused.
"What about a city then?"
"Ceeteehs daeehs frem heer." It says simply.
"How could I find it? If you could tell me about any marking to navigate by..."

"Could I see it to make a drawing?"
"Ahll ask dah cap'n." It goes back to the deck, and you notice that what you thought was chitin is actually some kind of copper armor.
Several minutes later a few of them bring a sphere, and you flutter into ths sheep to see it better. It's covered with complex designs in inks of several colours, seemingly indicating pathways for cities and stars to move along.
"Can I see one of you more closely?" You ask, noticing that they keep their distance, "I don't think I've ever seen one like you..."
After a moment one moves closer to the sole torch on the ship, calling at you to follow it, and you follow it from what you feel is a respectful distance.
It's still too small.
"Would it bother you if I went for my telescope?" You fly to the roof again for it and go back to it, then adjust its lenses until the image isn't so blurry.
It's not armor at all-- it seems like it's a small worm-like metalic animal, it's five lenses glinting under the light.
"You only have two arms?" You ask after a moment.
"Nodhs e'ryon godh lakhy, yannow." It answers, "Cap'n didn haev enough fer dah legs an midhands."
"I am sorry if I offended you." You smile awkwardly, "I am far from home."
"Eh." It shrugs it off.
You go back to the map and the creatures indicate where you are and where the city is, and once you've copied the map as best you could with colored markers on a foam ball -taking care to write the numbers besides each- you bid them farewell and return to your home, which you guide back to the mare's shack.
The next morning you are trying to understand the map while you have sunlight, and the mare climbs back to her shack and puts several rows of fish to dry. You try not to ignore the smell of it.
"You still there, far away boy?" She shouts.
"Trying to understand the map this things gave me!" You shout back.
"Things?"

Has there ever been a Quest-related post that has become as inaccurate as this one?
Why is the answer no?
>>
>>29404270
Chances are it was about as wrong at the time. For a year or two now CYOAs have been a lot more obvious, before that a good chunk of them were like Persona: completely indistinguishable from some random thread until you look inside.

I didn't mind the old times. Just like with everything when you can't have it every day. It also kinda ensured that there was a ton of participation. But correct me if I'm wrong, I think these days much more quests get completed. Or maybe that's just because the total number of quests has magnitupled.

I'm just sayan, it was much easier to miss quests when you couldn't instruct your messenger pidgeon to look out for (cockmongler)QUEST etc.

>>29404303
On the other hand there's the trade off of each quest becoming less of a mini-general/community than before.

It does not help that the resistance cyoa has to becoming a community leeks into the quests.

I'll admit it, I was mostly in it because cross-Quest pairings and foals was a cute as fuck idea. That alone made it reach my top 5.
Hell, ButtQuest could've ended with the MC(forgot his name whoops) getting kidnapped, tied up, and forced to watch some dyke rape every filly in his class while telling him about how he deserves this for his male privilege, and only stopping to tell him that Bethesda is a good company, and I'd still defend it.

"According to this we are..." You take a moment to read it, "About three quarters down a line that has the number seven three zero."
"Seven three zero... that's the left arm of the hunter constelation."
"And the closest city's right between five-five and two-zero-nine."
She thinks about it for a moment, "Is there any long line crossing them? What's its shape?"
It takes me you moment to find it in the chaos that is the surface, "There's a zigzagging one with the number six crossing it."
"The harmonic path, then. I'll need a few to get the direction."
"I'll eat something, then." You glide down to the second floor and enter, ignoring the forget-me.not quips. A sandwich... how much food do you have left?
Hrm.
After checking the cabinets you find there's a about four days worth of food here, and water... wait.
There's no tap water on the sea, isn't there?
You check everything to scrounge any liquid left. There's a few wine bottles in the basement, two juice boxes in the freezer, and -you sigh in relief- there's the toilet's and hot water tanks, totaling about ten liters.
"How do you get sweet water around here?" You ask through a mouthful of sandwich, standing on the grass outside. Wouldn't it be nice if your garden had been brought along, too. Weren't there some seeds in a chest somewhere?
"Sweet water?" The mare -who still hasn't told you her name- asks from inside her shack.
"You know, for drink."
It's a long while before she answers. "We are in the sea."
"Which is only salt water."
"Salt water?" She pauses, "I guess it's kinda salty, but it's all just water." After a moment she walks outside, jumps to the water, and swallows some, "See?"
You drink some. It's not as salty as saltwater usually is, but you still spit it on reflex.
>>
>>29405365
It would seem the sooner we find our way back home the better. Looks like we need to boil the water in a pot with a metal cup inside it and a lid on top. There is also collecting rain water. Since we're a pegasus we could just fly up to a cloud and kick it and get some water out of it that way. Unless these are really high clouds.

Time to look for those seeds!
>>
>>29405365
Wow ok. If we have some nick-nacks laing around maybe we can make one of the solar powered water filters. Use a screen or a slightly translucent tarp to magnify the suns rays.
>>
>>29405365
If we do end up lost in the ocean, it would be nice to prepare for the long haul.
Start up that garden and check what seeds can be sustained with slightly salty water.
>>
>>29405365
This is pretty fun.I hope this turns into a full blow cyoa and not a short.

"I'll just build a purifier." You rub your tongue between your teeth to wash out the taste and head inside to find the seeds. "Do you want it? I lost my appetite." You offer the rest of your sandwich to the mare.
"What."
"Sorry, my sandwich. Have you eaten tomato before?"
"I don't even know what's a tomato." She considers it. "I'll give it a try."
You give it to her and head inside. It takes much rummaging, but you find a package of beetroot seeds. With that and a garden shovel you head outside, looking for any cloud that may help you get sweet water.
"What in Tartarus." The seeds and shovel fall from your mouth.
"What?" The mare stops cutting fish to ask you.
"There's things on the sky."
"Clouds? You got lucky, they aren't that common."
"Not those."
"The sun. Birds. Whal--"
"Stars." You interrupt her.
"The little sisters?" She asks.
"Sisters?"
"Yyyeah, the sun's little sisters." She says simply. "He guides 'em so they aren't in the way when the moon brings her brothers. Thanks for that tomato, by the way."

I go for a bucket and start with the farming in a try to shrug it off, "What about the rest of the sandwich?"
"The rest? You mean the sponge?"
"The sponge?"
"Yeah, the spongy stuff. It tasted weird."
"That was bread."
"I don't like bread."
I shake my head and start digging in silence. I should start saving my seeds to plant them, too.
"What are you doing?"
"Farming." I keep digging.
"It sounds weird." She sniffles. "And smells weird too."
"It's the smell of earth." I shake the bucket to break any lumps in the dirt inside it.
"There's that word again." Her ears flicker.
"You mean about earth ponies?"
"Why do you call me that?"
"Do you like the smell?" I ask back.
"Kind of." Her ears flicker again. "It's weird."
"That's why you are an earth pony. Earthlings are good at making things grow and stronger than pegasus or unicorns."
"Yeah, sure." There is some anger in her voice. "Ponies are the ones who didn't get horns or wings. I don't need some far away boy to lie out of pity."

"I am not lying. And you should try it out."
"What for?" She leashes her tail.
"So I can get more tomato when I plant their seeds. I'll give you half of anything we plant."
She doesn't move.
"I wasn't asking you to, you know."
It's hesitant, but she stands and moves in my direction, making the small jump from her high-leveled walkway to my turf with surprising agility.
"Alright, you need this." You grab her hoof gently and put the shovel in it, then guide it to the proper places, "Make a few holes here, here, and here... ten or twenty centimeters deep."
"Romance is in the air!" Caws the forget-me-not bird on the ceiling. "The seeds of love have been planted! Beautiful babies await!"
"Shut up, you floating turd!" Shouts the mare before starting to dig, puffing when she throws dirt at her own face by mistake.
"Put it here." You touch her leg with the bucket. "It's hard to collect from the grass."
She keeps digging silently, and then puts the seeds when you indicate her to, "You know, back home earth ponies are good workers. Strong, reliable..."
"This isn't your home." The shovel falls on the bucket with a clack.
"I... know." You look at the stars again, "Did you like it?"
She nods silently. You let the silence stay for a moment before talking, "You said something about whales before?"
"What about them?"
"You talked about whales in the sky."
"It's too early for that, they haven't built up speed yet." She is digging the grass with a hoof. "Land is really all like this? As far as you can see?"
"Even larger. And there's forests, and deserts..."
"What are those?"
"Forests are places filled with trees. Wait, where do you get wood from?" You add.

"What's paper?"
"It's a thing we use to make books."
"Books? Out of wood?"
"Lots of them."
"You must be rich, back in land."
You don't know how to answer to that, so silence falls gain.
"Can you tell me about the little sisters?" You ask after a moment.
"It's an old tale." She shrugs
"I'd like to hear it."
She sighs, "The youngest of the sisters couldn't hear, the next couldn't feel the touch of others, the next couldn't feel the taste of food, and the oldest couldn't see." Her voice is softer when she says that, "So the sun guided them, but he got lost on the endless sea and only walked circles."
"And then?"
"And then the brothers of the moon -who couldn't see, feel, hear, or taste- were inspired by this and tried to guide her to safety... and when they got lost too, they saw us down below." She pauses, "And, feeling we were kindred spirits, they arranged themselves to guide us even as they search for their home, walking circles."

"Then the stars weren't always out during the day?"
"They've been for as long as I know." She shrugs, then walks back to her shed. "Or at least I've never heard of them not being." She sits and cuts fish again.
"Who keeps an eye on them? Maybe I could ask them."
"...keeps an eye?" She asks, confused, "Anyone who navigates."
"No, I mean who makes sure they are in the right path and all that."
"How do you do that?"
"Alicorns do it back home."
"Never heard of them." She shakes her head.
"Alright, what about princesses?"
"Only in fairy tales."
"Leaders of any sort?"
"There's pirate flotillas, but you don't want those. But cities usually have someone in charge."
"And history books at least?"
"You'd need to ask a noble permission to read their books, and nobles are a bunch of mayor assholes"
"Do you want me to read one of mine to you?" You offer after a moment.
"You have books?"
"Yeah... Wait, did you get the directions to the city?"
"About two days west, with this wind."
You think well before making the next question, "Do you want to come to Equestria?"
"Huh?" She perks up, ears flickering.
"I mean, an earth pony without earth... You could come back to Equestria with me."
She doesn't answer.
"If you comes with me we'll have two days of traveling before reaching a city... I could read books to you in the way there."
"Love is in bloom! The ring is put!" Caws the bird, still bathing under sunlight in my roof.
You both ignore him, silence falling.
"And do you think I could stay?"
"I don't see why not."
"If this is anything funny..."
"It isn't."
She walks inside her shack.
"So, you coming?" You ask after a moment.
"Just let me find these damn sails." She shouts.
>>
>>29408230
Bird. Please. Stop doing that, I'm begging you.
>>
>>29408230
This is very important. Just before reaching one of these cities you need to keep your home far away. Pretty sure there are gonna be curious ponies that will want to see our land. And pirates who will want to steal it for themselves by any means necessary.

>>29408315 >>29408323
You fly up to the bird, "Will you stop doing that?
"The sooong of love cannot be stopped!" It flares its wings wide open.
You open your mouth to talk again, but the mare exits her shack with a heavy package on her back, "Far away? You here?"
"Talking with our friend!"
"Loved by all!" Exclaims the bird.
"You know, some merchants pay nicely for forget-me-nots. He'd even get be well fed."
"Haven't you heard of gilded cages?" The bird ruffles its feathers.
"Or we could give it to pirates, I've heard they use those for torture." She pauses for a moment, "You should be careful with those, they may want to steal that earth of yours." She starts tying the sails to her shack, "Anyway, if you want to do anything before I can take off to the city you have an hour or so."

It is also possible word herself is dead and if that is the case does she get kicked out of the running.

Ask the bird if it has a name. Or will you have to give it one. In the meantime I guess we can start cleaning up our house and finding good books to read. Do we have floaties or an inflatable tube?

"Is there any high knot to tie?" You shout back, gliding down to her,
"Two near the ceiling, but--" You tie them quickly, "That you?" She moves to escape your wings' fanning.
"Yeah," You tie the other end, "Done with this, I'll go see the dragon before taking off."
"Try not to get eaten." She goes back to tying.
You begin flying, but stop suddenly, "Hey, just to throw a rope... are there sirens here?"
She finishes tying something before answering, "Hard as the styx to find, why?"
"Just curious." You shrug. "I never got to meet one back home."
"Good luck with that, they aren't big on surfacing."
You nod and untie your home from the mare's, then set its course it in the dragon's general direction.
"Have you got a name?" You ask the bird on the way there.
"Have you got one to give?" It asks back. "And a hat? I could use a hat too."

It actually benefits from being an anon story.
>>
>>29410095
How?
>>
>>29410103
An important plot point is how anon can be more impartial and also that they are so interested in him because he came from the stars
>>
>>29410231
So nothing that couldn't be replaced with a pone.
>>
>>29410243
>pone
>coming from stars
I don't play that quest, but if it takes place on the same planet as equestria, having a pone come from space would be retarded. Any alien like creature would make more sense than a pony.
There's no reason for it not to be anon, aside from appealing to autists that like to pretend they're opinions matter in a shitposting general while trying to pretend they're not in a shitposting general.
>>
>>29410280
I think a space pony crash landing in equestria has way more potential.
>>
>>29410280
Anon is a non-character whose selling point is to not have any strong personality trait that may rob a waifu from his harem.
So yes, there are valid reasons to keep away from anon when writing a story if it ever intends to be more than a mediocre waifu simulator.
>>
>>29410280

>>
>>29410301

>>29410298
Anons main selling point is you think of him as a peer (this is distinct from self insertion)
>>
>>29410298
Any strong personality trait that may deter self-insertion or rob a waifu from his harem*
>>29410313
How can someone without any solid personality be your peer?
>>
>>29410293
>>29410298
Anything can have potential. It just depends on what kind of story the QM is trying to tell. Maybe he wanted a harem simulator and Anon fit his needs as an alien like creature. Maybe he didn't want the quest to be about a pony that came from space and wanted it to focus on the zodiac ponies instead.
Not every MC needs to have a unique deep backstory. Sometimes Anon is sufficient for the needs of the plot.
>>
>>29410313
>Anons main selling point is you think of him as a peer

What? That's so wrong it probably breaks the laws of physics. Anon is some nebulously defined asshole that I can't stand because he's never depicted as someone actually relateable. He's just some vaguely defined Marty Sue that typically fucks everything up and never receives comeuppance for it. Anon as a character is the exact reason I can't stand Anon as an MC.
>>
>>29410313
Anon's main selling point is that most of the board is acclimated to him for whatever reason.

I will certainly grant that I prefer Anon to a random human since writers tend to ignore Anon's backstory and I don't care about options' backstories.
>>
>>29410340
either options'
>>
>>29410340
I prefer random human because I do care about backstories. Everyone I consider to be a character deserves at least a modicum of backstory.
I still prefer pone to either, though.
>>
>>29410325
Yet anon is lack of potential. Regardless of what happens anon is anon and he never changes, matures, or even becomes a bad person. How can i care for a fixed value of zero? Huh?
>>
>>29410352
>anon never becomes a bad person
you what mate
>>
>>29410352
Anon isn't a lack of potential and can change or mature just fine. He isn't some very specific archtype that people throw a fit over if anything changes, if he stays the same throughout the entire thing and you think that's a problem, it's either the QM/writer or you and the other players fault.
As far as I've seen him used, he's mostly used as a character that is shoved into random situations to meet more interesting characters. Anon himself and whatever gay backstory they asspuled for him isn't ussually supposed to be the focus of the story, it's the characters he meets that are. He's just a blank slate outsider character so the players can interact with the other characters without actually controlling those characters directly.
>>
>>29410394
>He's just a blank slate outsider character so the players can interact with the other characters
And there's why I don't like him. I like my characters to be characters, not stand-ins.
>>
>>29410380
Even when he's a card carrying villain he's celebrated for it and never gets the short stick.

see: mane-iac, where he managed to get the hero waifu despite murdering and maiming good guys on the regular. see equestria war threads, etc.
>>
>>29410406
>I like my characters to be characters, not stand-ins.
And that's your opinion. Some people are fine with anon, and some people like you prefer more fleshed out non anon MCs. Anon being a bad character to use as an MC is not objective fact, it's a subjective opinion, and bitching about it like it's a crime just makes you sound like a faggot with an inflated sense of self worth.
There's nothing wrong with anon as an MC unless you simply don't care for that kind of character, in which event it's a personal issue.

>>29410590
I've never thought of him as a green troll man in a story unless the author goes out f their way to specifically describe those aspects. Usually all we ever hear about are his clothes so we can imagine him however we want. I know I deliberately steer away from describing his physical appearance (like hair, skin color, eye color, and so on) so anybody can imprint themselves onto him. Anything that develops later, like maybe a beard, is fine because everyone can grow a beard and it's not too jarring of a trait to destroy immersion like green skin, faceless, and bald does.

Don't be retarded. Self inserts can be bad, but they are the basis of pretty much everything.

Keanu Reeves is such a huge actor because his expressionless face lets people put themselves in his shoes. 90% of animated "good guys" have strong, clean, scarless faces because it's a blank slate we can imprint on as opposed to the bearded or mangled villains that we're supposed to hate. Self inserts in themselves are not bad. It's bad self inserts that are bad. Go open a book before you open your mouth again and save us another post.

>actually comparing Anon in horse fiction to Dante and Keanu
I think you're the one who needs to go read a book, Jeff. A real one.
Then you'll know the difference between a strong lead character and Anon as seen in your favorite harem greentext.

You seem to be completely missing the point of what I'm saying. Reread my posts very carefully (there's only two so it shouldn't be hard for you) and really try to work them out. Clearly one go at it isn't enough for you.

Anon, you are the problem.

In that story, on this mlp fan board, Anon ordered his army to hunt down and slaughter every pony down to the last filly and colt all over a grudge with Celestia. He killed ponies that surrendered, ponies that had nothing to do with his conflict. All because he wanted to make Celestia watch.

It was some of the highest quality HFY autism this board has ever seen.

There were many stories in that thread so maybe we're talking about different ones, but the one I have in my head is the one where humans have been at constant war for years because the things in Equestria never wanted to leave them alone, then Celestia tried to have Anon killed after helping her, ended up killing his friend, and turned the largest empires in the world against humanity. That's plenty of reason to say "yeah, fuck the world I guess" in my book.

I understand completely. You're just wrong.
Anon is a minimum effort noncharacter who breezes through whatever situations he's in regardless of actual merit or ability so the reader can insert themselves and pretend they're not a sad sack of shit. The only breaking of this trend is when Anon is in a story where he'll get shit on, in which case he'll get relentlessly shit on forever, with the reader getting cheap feels out of it.
I happen to like strong characters with interesting quirks and flaws who succeed or fail based on their ability. Characters that require actual effort to make and don't resemble things I was seeing in stories written by other kids in school about how they're beat up all the bullies.

You're making such huge generalizations that it destroys the good point you have buried in there. Simply adding "in most cases" would make you completely right, but all this venom you're spitting makes you look like the angry, socially unadjusted kid you're making writefags out to be.

Simple matter of observation.
Most stories written with Anon as the MC are of varying quality, yet the attention given by people to them rarely reflects the level of quality.
Stories that avoid him however, far more often live or die based on their quality.
Anon is a poor choice of MC, because people who want to play him do not care what the quality of the cyoa is, they care about living out some dumb fantasy through him.
My point doesn't stand to you because you either haven't been here long enough to see the trends, or you just care more about wish fulfillment then a solid story.
