How to make a thread: Exactly the same way as you post in a thread normally, except not as a reply to something. Just go to the board you want to post the thread in and act as if you want to reply to the board itself.

As far as a title image, welp, that's up to you to sort out. As long as it's not horrific, it'll work, but an on-topic image is always nice. You can either submit an image from your computer or post one from a URL. You can post an image from your computer with the choose file button below the message box. If you have a URL for an image already on the internet you like and want to use as your OP pic, however, paste the URL into the Embed field and making sure "Image URL" is selected.

Hit the "Submit" button next to the subject button, and you're done!

>>358568
Thanks! One last question before I make it, though. Considering that I more or less never draw, ever, and my attempts at "art" are appropriately crappy, would anyone mind if I just used clipart for the OP pic?

On second thought, it's probably better to just go with it and stop pelting everybody-and-his-mother with questions. So nevermind that last bit. Let's see what happens...

*crosses fingers*

Another very simple question for a different Anon: is there a formatting guide anywhere? Like how to do things like italics and bold in a post?

It's all here. You should probably read it all, it's a huge help.

I have a feeling that the hotel is some version of this.

Hey Weaver, thank you for making my Night Class awesome. Screw Data Management, I'm reading a journal!

I think that the 466 could possibly have to do with the journal entry that says "NAN I WON'T LET YOU LEAVE!"

Oh, and on that note I might as well update my map. Will be up by Satruday~

The entries from the book
My eyesight isn't very good, and I'm having trouble reading the font. Would somebody mind posting what they said, please?

Was this entry made recently or because Nan will eventually go back in time again and get involved more personally with what happened in the past, making her the Padre's biggest and most personal target?

Because an entire page dedicated to a random victim of the hotel's curse thing seems unlikely. She's got to be of significance more than the others or the other's involvement and personal conflicts with the hotel will be revealed.
It's so great. I can't understand what's going on and I fucking love it.

Kyahaha! BiteQuest's art thread. I wish authors did more 34 like his. Funny how the image I needed wasn't done by him.

All the more recent shit is just in my FA because honestly it was all going there anyway and I had to like, sort everything or people acted like babies.

Huh. I think I'm following you on FA, I just follow way too many people. TIME TO CLEAN OUT MY STALKER LIST WOO. But yeah, keep it up, Bite. Love your stuff!

I am not sure what ATA is, but I would be glad to do one of... those. Just help me understand what it is I should do.

I appreciate the feedback. I am just having a lot of fun with it, and I am going for something a little looser than my regular comic, Cosmic Dash (http://cosmicdash.com/). I actually have a neat little twist in mind for BQ to play up the meta-aspects, and I an excited about it.

I would also TOTALLY love to know how to get this up there alongside the ranks of Prequel and Homestuck.

>>359357
ATA is "Ask the Author." Just scroll down to the thread with the microphone, there's plenty of questions posed by the various members on the site for quest authors to answer at will.

As for popularity, just keep at what you're doing. It's too early to offer any specific criticisms (besides "oh my god this is adorable") but you have everything in place right now to grow a sizable fan base as you move on. Your art and writing certainly have the charm for it.

Maintain a schedule. Interact with your readers, hit cons if you can. Give your audience place to socialize. Don't be afraid to build memes, they're what ultimately ensure your intellectual property gains new followers through word of mouth.

Little time-waster games that you give away will help spread the word too. Look at what all the successful webcomics have done, because largely that's what Homestuck is doing too.

sorry.

hey i came up with a possible long range plan, i'm not sure if its viable but I think it might let us unite the demon realm with minimal bloodshed. Step one is to build up our military strength until we can at least match most demon lords, and wiping us out would be prohibitively costly for abel. then we start offering our services as protectors to villages in the demon realm. Some small monthly fee in exchange for our protection, it’s important that they get a good deal, fairly low cost and we help rebuild if the village gets damaged on our watch. if we use the telporter at our castle we can deploy our forces anywhere in the demon realm in an instant, this lets us project military force over the entire demon relam without scatting our forces, so there is no real upper limit on how many villages we can protect at once.(note if need be we can make it look like a protection racket to get villages to join at fist, just hope they realize they have a good deal later) we also offer (again for a smallish fee) safe transport via our telporter between any village that has accepted our contract. By manipulating the price of travel between villages we can probably encourage trade and population movement between them. This should get the villages to work together a bit, and since we would be controlling both the main form of transportation and providing military protection we could pressure the villages into forming some sort of alliance. The result is a mostly unified demon realm that likes us. It’s a fairly basic plan at this point, and we will almost certainly have to deal with demon lords trying to stop us. But I think this is a workable strategy for taking control of the demon realm. That is assuming our telporter has the capacity for something like this.

>>359392
nope, the first time we died was from an ALLIANCE of enemies. so even if we can fight on par with one demon lord they could ALL attack us at once.

>>359393

I doubt they trust each other enough that all of them would work together, but you have a good point that we would probably have to deal with more than one at a time, and we need to figure out how to do that before we do anything else long term.

I don't think building an army that can deal with any two demon lords is a viable plan, if it could be done that way one demon lord would have already conquered the demon realm. what we might try doing is building an army on par with a typical demon lord, and then take out a demon lord via decapitation strike. seize control of his army and make a point of humiliating him. then see if we can strong arm the other demon lords into joining us. we also could end up with a friendly demon lord of lust if we handle the whole Lilith thing right.

>>359229
He.

>>359243
Oh thank god! I've always been fuzzy on the sexuality of the various authors here.
I just assumed generic asexuality for each one, by and large.

>>What got you into quests in the first place?

I didn't realize this was a thing. I'd only read Homestuck and Prequel before I started mine.

>>Which of your quests are you most proud of?

I've only got the one right now, Bandit's Quest. I have a webcomic called Cosmic Dash, and I am working on a graphic novel with two friends.

>>What do you like to do in your spare time?

Sleep. Holy shit do I love to sleep.

Actually, drawing is my spare time activity since I have classes, and I work as a tutor at my local CC.

>>I'll make this short. cut or uncut?

The answer you seek rhymes with "butt".

>>Do you imagine voice actors for your characters?

Not for Bandit's Quest yet, but other projects, yes.

>>359306
I really don't think sexuality is the word you should be using there.

Sex or gender or both, but not sexuality. I strongly doubt the majority of this board is asexual. :V

>>359370
"Words have gender, people have sex."

Best quote I ever heard from my 70-year-old female linguistics prof. :)

And yeah, I tend to think of author sex as one of those quantum things. They have quantum sex. They are both male and female - either in separate dimensions, or in a waveform that collapses once observed.

>Can't do the rest of the orders because they are a different day's orders. One day's orders at a time, unless you've okay'ed retroactive actions with me either via IRC or discussion.

Does that mean I need to repost the orders? I don't mind retroactive actions.

>>359254
If that's the case, then pending approval from Bob (here preferably since I can't get on IRC), I'll take over Feodor.

So, the last post gave me an idea:

Why Armas doesn't make a book ala "My First Ascension and Mutation: a Beginner's Guide to Experimentation" but something more like "Armas guide to power". it could be filled with everything Armas knows about chakras/bloodlines/soul animals and anything else he thinks could be useful to know (and doesn't mind sharing). at the back it could have a list of people that Armas knows with more experience than him in any one of the areas, if anyone wants some better instructions or just to ask questions. actually it probably should have a warning to consult someone before trying anything from the book. It obviously would be given to Russians (and maybe Camella).

So, anyone things its good idea? or stupid one?

actually wasn't there an idea to get a pamphlet or something to all the Russians? we ever did that?

>>359386

It's not a bad idea. It is one more thing on Armas' plate though, and he'll need more to put in it. He'll also either need to write it to be as generic as possible, or develop a standardized training program. He should also only distribute it to clan members (as in people who have sworn fealty to him in some way, binding or not) and Camella (who Armas has already demonstrated, time and again, that he trusts as completely as he is capable of trusting any single person). That means that any Russians who got it would have to make the transition from employee to clan member.

Just what that oath would entail is something we'd need to discuss.

We could also come up with a far more generic guide, just for people who were like Armas was back around October. Sell that for $10,000 and call it a day.

>>359151
>"I didn't think he'd"
She means "I didn't think he'd ever really die", a common reaction to the passing of beloved authoritative figures and stubborn old fogeys.

>Wait, so is the message written in mundane ink or magical ink?
I think ego forgot to write "magical" there, no big.

Maolla: Is it known who the first Scellor was to become sentient after the Undermind was created?

This might be cheating, but I figure it's at least worth a shot.

Rokoa:
What were you dreaming about that made you look so peaceful here:
>>383944

Nan & Co.:
Any of you fellas religious?

Maolla: When Scellor synchronize, what determines what part of the undermind both are connected to at the end? I mean, to need to synchronize that means that one Scellor is attuned to part A of the undermind, and the other is attuned to part B. How is the priority established?

Just a plain old inner monologue, this time.

>>359219

that shot down my theory
Clamp's just got a powerful or cool soul then. Well, it was fun making the theory that Lorkim wanted us and we were attached to Clamp's soul.

I have successfully modded Kobold necromancers into the newest version of Dwarf Fortress.
This quest made me do it.

Awesome. I'd actually like to see it uploaded, or just a pastebin of the modded portions of files, so that I may hijack it myself when I find the time to play some DF.

Ye.

Wait!

Slinko!

Before you post that image that you are inevitably going to draw because all of us including me request it, remember that you might have a sequel to Tezakia Quest. You might other piss thousands of people off or make people itch in anticipation if you wait to post it until you are ready for that quest.

Agreed? No? Yes? Maybe? Perhaps yes or no? Both? Tired of these options?

>>359292
Yeah you should totally wait on posting it.
If fact, if you're gonna start a sequel, you should just wait until that starts.
Then you should have Amiel not making a direct appearance in it. Instead she's always talking to someone through an intercom or some convenient one-way mirror.

>MaximumtrollingSlinkoing.jpg

>>359292
>>359298
A sequel is pretty likely after Slissa Quest... I could certainly save it for then and have a more modern design........

A sequel is not likely to star these characters since Slumber Party ended the last character arc Tezakia had with 'em, but they'll definitely be showing up from time to time unless there's this huge decision to skip WAY ahead to adult jiniki quest...

Had a thought occur to me. Is anyone else speculating about what the mystery project that's being built on Finesse's bed, yet? I'm going to put forth a thoery. It's a cradle. There's going to be babybolds running around, once they figure out what they're doing.

>>359299
been looking a few chapters back but I can't seem to find what you're talking about.

either way, it's either a new hand for our dear Muschio, or the epic hat that he still desperately needs! :)

>>359155
I don't see what that has to do with the bugs. The hivemind she's referring to is the Undermind, meaning she doesn't actually understand how it works.

>>359173
indeed, scellor do not have a hivemind.

>>359173
She's using the Scellor, somewhat incorrectly, as an analogy for the bug's control of the Astranians. Attempting to get TacticaCommand to identify weaknesses in that command structure, as a precursor to attempting to turn it against the Astranian high command. Best logic to use to turn someone traitor is their own.

>>359169
>>359173
>>359178
>>359189
That is a good point. The Astranian culture doesn't leave room for the peculiar pseudo-socialistic-anarchistic-capitalistic-deistic-secularist mindset of the Scellor people.
They made the Undermind, it exists as a sort of spiritual 'organ' much like a second backup brain. Any attempt to mess with it is at best going to give all scellor a migraine, or worst case induce the Undermind to awaken fully into an individual being, inducing a Slaanesh-birthing Eye of Terror-class event.

>>359307
it being a single consciousness was what happened when it was first made. it moved their planet out of the way of a extinction event.
so when their civ was around.. looked like bronze~iron age they did that. they could move a planet. think about what would happen NOW if it went rage mode. it could probably crush stars into black holes.
