Another Quest... Why never wait to end your current one before starting another one, Chibi?
Name me 5 other quest writers who finish their quests; or who don't start another quest while they have on ongoing.

This. What I said is entirely true: A new plot bunny has taken root in Chibi's most fertile mind. This being Chibi, they are probably Vorpal Plot Bunnies.

TWO BUNNIES ENTER, ONE BUNNY LEAVES.

Rihaku managed to somehow finish Jounin quest; sure, it was some kind of cop-out ending when he realized that he gave out powerups too easily and that there was nothing left that could pose any kind of challenge, but it was an ending.

The Chibi is in possession of too many ideas, and can never be tied down to a single one for too long.

The plot bunnies... flow.

Good job; now name 4 others.

My point is that quests don't get finished; at least not in a constant stream like Jounin Quest. There are hiatuses and plot bunnies, writers jump to other ideas, or work on two at once. Saying this is dead so early is stupid.

how many quests is this chibi?

i'd really rather not see Azula-quest go the way of some of your other quests.

even if it Does gives us a chance to play as Voldemort.

honestly, the avatar-verse just interests me much more than the potter-verse.

besides, every piece of background info and/or fanon, every plothole and scrap of backstory in harry potter has been explored already.


but the only other avatar fic i have ever seen that went into the background stuff was Embers.

none of the others seem to have that "epic fic" quality.

you have that, this quest has that.

id really rather not see it vanish into the mists of time.

that said, you should (as always) write what pleases you

so long as you have fun, then thats all that matters.

not like we actually have a say anyway is it? :pac:

And how many writers have Chibi's talent to hook in so many readers, only to leave them in the dark as soon as he jumps to another idea?

Watch how this will happen. Unless it hapeens soon, Azula Quest will becoem the same as Witch Quest.

ha, i had a "brown pants" moment when i tried to load Azulaquest and the page froze for a good 30 seconds before showing "page cannot be displayed"

i freaked out, thinking the lag had hitched a ride with us and was here to stay.


then i noticed that my internet had disconnected itself.

Don't worry, if we ever DO get large enough to develop performance issues, we'll shut the forum down for a day, manually make a copy all the quest archives and such (because Zetaboards doesn't let you backup or transfer the forum) and move onto paid hosting large enough to accommodate our needs, and have everything working within hours.

Honestly, the main reason I hope Azula Quest keeps chugging long instead of Riddle Quest? I've already gotten attached to the characters here. I've been paying attention to them, I've enjoyed reading them, and they're very fresh in my mind. The constant update speed has kept me from being especially clinical towards them.

If updates fade, well, it won't be as fresh in the mind anymore. Attachment will probably fade, and I rather like being invested in the characters here.

I'll never fault Chibi for moving on if his interests no longer lie with this story. He has written a lot here, and I have no right to complain about a free lunch. Least of all a freebie this good. It'll still be disappointing though.

exactly that.


also, are we still voting on this site, or will votes be done on SB?

i would prefer here,


anyone who was reading AQ on SB is probably here already, and writing it here means you have more freedom to post what you want.

having the mods peering over your shoulder and decrying every little thing as "creeping" just pisses me off.

some bits were a little off colour, like buying iroh a sex doll (totally didn't catch that until someone mentioned it, by the way, i thought we just got him a doll cos he bought us a doll) and the whole "engaged to your brother" thing, but thats actually perfectly reasonable in the setting.


that said, saying things like "perfectly reasonable in the setting" isn't going to convince the SB mods.


thats without even bringing up the little hedonism fairy.

yeah, its a little off-colour, no thats not a bad thing.

but yeah, if you want to post something, and the mods on SB say you cant, then don't rewrite it to fit there rules unless you want to.


you can always just post it here.

I'll agree with you here. As enamored as I am with the concept of a Riddle Quest, I have definitely grown rather attached to the characters of this story, and would hate to see them go.

Actually, I'm rather tempted to push to vote that we spend multiple months in training, so that at least time will pass by quicker and we'll skip to the conflict. And, hopefully, the parts that are more fun to write. We've still got entire months to chew through and if we're taking it day by day...

I was pretty sure that the day-by-day stuff was going to speed up when we started actually doing something, like travelling to see Aang (and training) or figuring out a way to see the guru (and training) or finding out what Zuul's malfunction is (and training). There's plenty of stuff to do that'll move the story forward, we just need to decide what we want and how to go about it, and that's probably best saved until after the next update goes up.

Well if the mods of SB haven't said anything it either means A) they have nothing to say about the posts, or B) they haven't noticed it yet. Given how SuperS4 came in and said something about some other posts earlier, I doubt it's B. So...maybe PM them?

At the very least; their silence probably means nothing bad's come up in the posts.

S4 being silent means that they are still deliberating on it, maybe waiting for a few other mods, possibly deadlocked on the matter.

Huh, I actually agree with this.

Rochelle, and later Kyoko, simply couldn't catch a break. I mean, I wanted them to have their happy ending, but I just didn't see it happening anytime soon. Too draining.


Here, at least, Azula is competent and talented enough to fight back against the world. Also, she has more people who are willing to help her.

Exactly, too much down and not enough up; things only looked up for them for brief moments before Murphy raped them again. With Azula? We've had our successes along with our ordeals; our victories were earned, and we can see ourselves winning despite the odds stacked against us.

Rochelle and Witch Quest? I...honestly didn't feel good about a majority of our victories, mainly because we didn't fully win in most of them. Just not lose. I want a happy ending, yeah, but if it's not even visible or looking possible; then why am I reading?

Yeah. I managed Witch Quest right up until we had our first "major" death.

I just sort of sat there and went, "well, their went all that emotional investment."

And never worked up the energy to continue.

Atlantis... ahahhahahahahahaha!!! With what Chibi-Reaper has implied about Water Bender ancestry/history?

That city is likely not lost, nor is it uninhabited... rather, I suspect that there are multiple cities deep beneath surface of the sea with unspeakable things that dwell there, as the element of water has changed them beyond seeming and the ken of mortal men that crawl amidst the dry dust of the surface.
