Hey everyone,

Given the number of people who are currently in isolation, I thought it might be fun to do something with some interaction.

As such, I’ve started a “Quest” over on Sufficient Velocity.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept, Quests are a form of online fiction where the author gives readers a set of options at the end of each chapter. This is similar to a Choose Your Own Adventure book, but rather than all the options being written out, the reader base as a whole votes to determine what the character in the story does next – and that’s it. The other branches aren’t written out.

So, you can think of it as being something of a mix between a novel (or, really, a web serial) and a role-playing game.

This particular quest takes place in between Weapons and Wielders and Arcane Ascension. For the moment, readers will be reading and “playing” as Keras.

Before anyone asks, I’m still writing my other Books (AA3 and Weapons and Wielders 3) at the same time. They’re both still several months out, however.

Rather than using this as a substitute for my normal writing, I’m doing this in place of some of my usual social media time. It’s possible this will cut into my writing time a little, but I think it’s going to be worth the time investment, since user interaction tends to help motivate me to write more.

I hope anyone who decides to participate enjoys the quest!
