interesting questions anon
>how much time does an average post take
usually between 90 and 120 minutes, but keep in mind I write fast. the occasional long or lore-filled post can require up to 3 hours between writing, editing, checking for images and uploading
>How much time do you dedicate to working on your quest every day
the truth is that it's never enough. I'd like to be able to add maps, images, doodles and other stuff but between full-time job and other writing projects I really don't have a chance, especially this year as opposed to the previous
>writing updates/posts
between 90 and 120 minutes when I upload, so once every 48 hours on average. last year I could dedicate more time and it was between 120 and 180 minutes each day
>planning the plot
I plan almost nothing. I have some ideas of where things may go (and how NPCs may react), but I try to leave full control to the players. One of the things I learned by questing over the past year is to scrape the unnecessary stuff from stories to find their core
that said, there is certainly planning involving the NPCs
I might make an AMA about it at the end of the Quest, it's been a fascinating process
>worldbuilding
mostly making sure everything fits. the Quest's world has been an ongoing project for years so I'm quite lucky I had a ready-made canvas.
that said, certain updates take more effort than others: almost the entirety of Thread IV I was sweating bullets every update because I had to set up stuff that's going to happen during current thread and in the future, so weighing every word
>doing research on topics that might come up
sometimes. I spent a few hours researching Reinassance-era skirmish techniques in the past to write a believable update that required Argia sparring with her Master and friends. It was a lot of work but I was quite happy with it
>looking for images
that used to take me almost as much as writing an update back in the day. Now I don't have that much time, so I cut down on that. I think AIslop might be a solution to this, if I were not a bit squeamish about using it - maybe I'll do it for another Quest as soon as I find a way to combine a few models and loras that don't look like Korean goop
another thing I'd love would be to make my own images, but again: time.
>Essentially, how much EFFORT are you putting into your quest?
never enough. sometimes I feel like I'm coasting and I'm grateful for anons' support.
>Do you think it's enough for your quest to be a GOOD one?
heh, that's a tough question. ultimately I started writing this to go back to HAVING FUN with writing. It has worked, and the fact people enjoyed it so much really made me feel warm and fuzzy feelings in my black withered heart.
>yes but is it GOOD, is it GOOD ANO-
There's at least two more threads before reaching an answer. let's not fret and have faith in our silver-haired doofus.
