Space Ninja Summer Camp ( Warframe/Worm )

Reader mode
I could hear the voices in my head while reading.

Although I have to say, I was expecting Hai-Luk to show Sgt Munroe a large Murkray, gently slap it on the side, and say reverently: "This one will feed the whole family, and the cousins too!"

EDIT:
After Sgt Munroe left, Hai-Luk was heard grumbling, "I should have become a plumber..."

Why do so many good fics either, A, have a really inconsistent upload schedule, or B, simply stop updating during fall of 2020.

Cuss this shit's hard man. A few people with patreon accounts might make a bit of money doing this but for almost all of us it's an unpaid hobby. So it comes down to, can we find a few hours to sit down and work? Can we ignore other things we do for fun to put the time into this? Can we keep motivated for the months or more often years it takes to write a long fic one chunk at a time while our lives keep chugging along and changing? Can we persevere even in the face of reader criticism, and outright verbal attacks if we post on less moderated sites?

It's really easy to see a long hiatus or dead fic and just be mad or sad, but you look at the word counts and the dates of the first and last updates? A lot of fics suddenly look a lot more impressive.

It's simple, typing is easy, writing is hard. For those of us who aren't professional writers especially, as we tend to fall into two groups, the plotters who can't actually start posting until they've storyboarded their story, or the "That's a good idea, let's try it" brigade, who are driven by their muse and the characters clamouring in their heads. (I'm the latter btw) It doesn't take much for us to lose that spark for a story that means we feel where it's going. It can be a bad review, life situations, or simply that we get sucked into something else and when we try to continue writing it just goes poof.

I was going to say "because fuck COVID" but in reality the fact of the matter is that almost all fanfiction is never finished. 2020 was a particularly bad year for it because 'rona is a bitch and a half, but that just accelerated the inevitable demise, not prompted it in and of itself.
 
They're still active on the site - their user profile shows them liking posts as recently as three and a half hours ago - but there haven't been any posts from them since the one you mentioned, no.
 
The last chapter came out late 2020, it's been almost 2 years since then. Writing is hard enough, but trying to get back the inspiration to continue writing an actual story, 2 years after you've stopped is obviously much harder. If OP does decide to continue it'll most likely be updated at least couple of months later than it would usually take them
 
lol

Gotta wonder how the Duviri Paradox will affect things in this fic should it ever continue...

Honestly, the New War and Angels updates pose much bigger problems. Those two updates firmly cement the Player Tenno as having been on the Zariman. In this story, Taylor, who was not on the Zariman, but on a random Grineer Galleon stuck in the Void, is taking the place of the Player Tenno. She has Ordis as her Cephelon, she went through Vor's Prize, The Second Dream, and Chains of Harrow. Also, Taylor hasn't done the Sacrifice yet, because when this story started, it hadn't come out yet. iirc, the author planned to have Taylor return to the origin system a little bit after Fortuna released, patch-wise. Which is a bit after that quest released.

Yeah, I'm not a hundred percent comfortable with Wally appearing in the limelight like that, and I think the exact mechanics of how Tenno are made could have stayed hidden. Now we have the paradox of every player being different versions of the same person, instead of the main quest being a series of interesting events this one Tenno stumbled upon, while other Tenno were busy with other adventures. I used to praise Warframe for not having the player character being one of a million chosen ones, and I've since had to recant, but Taylor should at the very least not be the chosen one, since she wasn't born when the pact was struck.

Maybe she could actually be some sort of fusion between the original player Tenno and Taylor? It's cliche but certainly easier to write than the alternatives

I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion. Obviously from a game play perspective that's true given everyone gets to run the storylines but we know that there were many children that survived on the Zaramin to become Tenno and that they weren't all the same person using Rell as an obvious counter example and thus there were other distinct Tenno.

We know that the Tenno PC and the Drifter are iterations of the same character and we know that the Tenno disappeared when Balas invoked the Paradox obliviating the Deal with Wally. Thus it can be inferred that either without the deal that there were no Tenno and due to the Paradox their actions and existence were not wiped retroactively leaving them remembered or that all of them were replaced with their own Drifter echo/alternate.
