    Hi Magoose here one of the guys helping Duke.

    So we have some bad news.

    The quest has been canceled as duke does not want to write it anymore.

    I'm going to ask if I can take over for it, because I like this quest, and it would be a shame to kill it

    TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands. :)

    To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.

    I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.

    I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.

    I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all. :D

    I'll see you all around.

    With so many regards, Duke William Of.

    So...

    You know what, +5 to SP, I'm to tired right now to come up with more rewards right now.

    Tomorrow will see more rewards.

    Magoose saw too many History-related Prompts in one night..Borat!Cu Chulainn took him out the most.

    A version of TNO?

    Here is some Alt History Ideas to add into the pile:

    - Red World (Gets Canceled for doing that)
    - Kaiserreich (What if Imperial Germany won WW1?)
    - The Grand Coalition (What if the Democratic-ish Parties created a coalition in the 1920-30s to stabilise Germany?)
    - Bismarckreich (What if Prussia lost the Franco-Prussian War)
    - Canadareich (What if Canada won the war of 1812..aka the Brits didn't win for them)

    Here is a Trilogy Special that takes place in the same Universe:
    - Scar Nicholas (What if Nicholas II survived?)
    - Adolphus Jones (What if Adolf became a Painter)
    - A Priest (What if Stalin became a priest?)

    I feel really guilty about fostering my Omake on you and I don't want you to feel like you need to reward this highly or coerce you into getting this passed when I would have been perfectly happy for a judgement tomorrow and other Pitches didn't get approved yet. This seems like a decent bonus and to be honest, Roads Not Taken might be better suited for 21st century tech when it can provide a high quality and allow for TV to explore longer and more immersive settings, at the very earliest a 90s show.

    Get some rest Magoose. I won't post another Omake until the Turn Results happen.

    *Sighs in sadness*

    What is an Original Idea I can make into a Prompt..

    Prompt Name: Magical Girl Deluxe All You Need is Love
    Genre: Slice of Life, Romance, Relationships
    Sub-Genre: Fluff, Non-Drama, Relationships, Love
    Format: TV Show
    General Idea: Unlike other Romance shows where they based everything on drama, this one focuses on the development of a relationship through just spending time together. They first met in a library, and they began meeting each other..then evolved to become something more. The slice of life parts are exampled by this: The video that inspired this prompt.

    But the Scar Nicholos Trilogy and the stories in that universe are very entertaining.

    The only thing worth remembering from that channel anyway, last heard they're making a novel out of the series.

    Another reason why I went for a Slice of Life Original Prompt.

    Makes me remember the last time my history teacher a year ago had additional bonus marks for having information bullet points more than 20.

    Essentially we get extra 5 marks if we go above..

    When I asked him about it this year, he said he removed it after I kept putting 40-60 points of information about the topic when the mininum was 20.

    Shit, I know the feeling. Last semester, I had to sit down with one of my professors and cut my paper down by more than half including frankly necessary information. It hurt. Bad.

    That hurts, especially when you place time in learning something related and fits in the context, yet gets rejected since you already placed "too much"..

    How could I forget? Why aren't we networking with Jim Henson?

    Ah well I'm off to bed.

    By that I mean rewards won't be written out and SP will be given.

    Movie Pitch: Love Spot
  • Apocrypha
    • TITLE: Love Spot
    GENRE: Mythology
    SUBGENRE: Drama, Tragedy, Action, Forbidden Romance
    FORMAT: 3 hor movie
    BASIC PROMPT: Basically a retelling of Diarmuid Ua Duibhne and Gráinne's story, except they actually fall in love. There is no love spot and Fionn mac Cumhaill accepts the duo's love but stil resents Diarmuid for taking away his bride and still let's him die
     
  • Apocrypha
    • A possible omake thought... Grease is a great parody about the 50s that was released in 1978, the main star was John Travolta

    One of John's best friends, Bruce actively put a lot, like insane amount of money to produce another throw-away to the 50s movie that came up just 5 years before.

    I think, that there is something to explore there, but I kinda don't know how to do it...
