Yay, I caught up! Only that means I have to wait for more. Boo.
sad I love this story. I think it just keeps getting better as it goes on.
Glad you like it so far. ^_^

My favorite -- and in a way, least favorite -- aspect is actually what we hear about the four lost crews. It's both chilling and tragic. (Hence the "in a way, least favorite"...it makes me have so much feelings
crying Mage's journal omg I died.)
Part of this next chapter is about some survivors from lost crews. And it's going to lead to something eerie in the final chapters, when I get there.
Quote:
I also want to see more about the backgrounds of the crew, all of them, and on a related note I love what you do with flashbacks.
I'm going to try and give each character at least one chapter where they get their history told before the end.

And KJ, I actually didn't expect her to join the good guys -- I did think she would betray the Phantom, but only to continue the quest for domination her own way. Her of all people...but it works out.
Who says she isn't still a villain? Perhaps she's using the heroes to eliminate The Phantom for her.
Quote:
NPC dialogue sounds exactly like it could have come from the game, and the story is just so focused with barely any filler, and the worldbuilding, and the ring and Animated concepts, and the characters, and all the other trials and side stuff with helping people, and the uhh...goddammit I just ******** love everything okay?
I tried to stay true to the spirit of zOMG! Thanks for catching that.

I'm just wondering though, what happened to the claw hands they mysteriously grew after arriving in Chapter 12? Also, what was with Penelope and that sickness? It disappeared as soon as they beat Frosti and somehow seemed to make her more powerful near the end.
Oh, if I told you the answers right now it would spoil the plot for another chapter, but I'll give you something to think about for the claws... It has to do with Ghi, both channeling it and the infusion process that causes things to become animated. The sickness, it made her more reckless and was caused by Frosti's evil. One mean snowman, right? But what's to say it won't resurface as a future plot point, The Phantom intends to take over the world by enslaving people in zOMG! and making them spread a disease in the real world, the plague of Thenedrana could have been a prototype.
Quote:
Uhh I'm sure I have more questions but I can't think of any offhand.
If you think of any, post them. If it won't reveal too much I'll answer. If it does reveal too much to answer I'll let you know.

Also also,
epic shock factor throughout chapter twelve. I hit the wham line and literally was just like, holy
s**t. (I'm so glad I don't have a roommate to yell at me for bursting out like that at four in the morning.) Although I'm surprised they aren't/weren't more bothered by the revelation; if I were in their shoes, and found out that the enemy I was fighting wasn't just programming but
other players, other people who had tried and failed to save the world before me...even if they were irrevocably corrupted, and even if I didn't know or like them personally...I'd be pretty shaken.
Oh they were bothered, that's actually something they get a chance to stop and talk about, writing that dialog as I type this response actually. But they were more focused on the mission, and given the urgency they pushed down the feelings until later.

(Get used to this; I get
really excited about stories sometimes. Aelious can attest to that. Three years down the line and I haven't let him forget it.
xd I am the quintessential obsessive fan...and you're stuck with me for life now.)
Again, glad you enjoy it. I hope you continue to enjoy it as I'm able to get more material out.
