Fantasy is my #1; I will give almost anything a chance if it has strong fantasy elements. Post apocalyptic, superhero, alternate history, science fantasy, some supernatural, romance, and a few fandoms (especially Game of Thrones) are also likely to catch my eye.
For anyone who hasn't been paying attention, in February of 2017 there was a ridiculous fundraiser that did extremely well. One of the fun prizes for that fundraiser was that I would write a book-sized story with Iwaku people as the character inspiration, with anyone who donated $10 or more getting a guaranteed major role in said story. The first chapter (and previously posted prologue) can now be found in the thread linked in huge text below!


This thread will be for discussion of anything related to the story. You can ask me questions and propose theories and whatnot, but I can't promise I'll answer anything because I don't want to give spoilers. You'll find a list of the characters and which members of Iwaku they are based on in the first post of the story thread under the table of contents, so if you ask who a character is supposed to be I might have to throttle you for being silly. :D

As of April 25th, there's also a Discord server for chatting about Götterdämmerung! Click the link to join, read the rules, and have fun talking about how great I am. 8D

To be honest, I can't even argue that Umi was best character. Like, no need to be biased, she literally brought an entire race of people back from the grave. Who can even top that?... I'll wait...

*pats Necropolis. Good, good. If you give me your favorite quote (from Gotter) I'll make you a fanposter of it.

I promise I'm not trying to be rude here, but the only really noteworthy thing that she did was fight a god and burn a creepy magic human dude. Holm could do what Umi did, but they would be pale imitations of the real things. Cute or not, Umi is best character.

*Shies away from pat, and holds book over head just in case
My fave quote is totally my most simple quote.
"I am not a monster..."
Like, I get that he was being serious when he said it, but all I can hear is this pouty disappointed voice like a child and OMAGOD I almost cried laughing.

You know there are some intense shenanigans going on when "she only fought a god, she isn't that impressive" is a reasonable argument to make.

Doesn't change the facts, bruh.
 
hey man, i have feelings too
*stares confused
"Oh, well, I uh... SMOKE BOMB!"
*Throws smoke bomb at ground and runs into wall.
"Who put that there?"
You haven't redeemed yourself to me yet immortal-turned-mortal. Until that point, your feelings are irrelevant. >:v

I'm biased so naturally Grene is my favourite character :P

As much as I loved the fight scenes with her, my favourite was when she and Holm died, finally somewhat at peace.

THANKS A LOT UMI >_>"
 
HANKS A LOT UMI >_>"
DON'T BE DISSIN ON THE HEART THIEF (Literally, Fury's heart and The Deep One's) JUST 'CUZ YOU WANNA BE A MARTYR!
 
  • Haha
Reactions: Greenie
I dunno, I don't think Grene wanted to be a martyr :P She was just done with it all and wanted to Rest in Peace.

I am ashamed to admit I have not read this since like the second or third chapter.

How many heads has Fat Al clanked with her skillet? What's the count? I don't want to spoil it by skipping straight to the end.

EDIT: Oh god, is she alive? Please tell me she lives D:

RE-EDIT: Fffff no don't spoil it for me

Up to one character or more may or may not survive until the end of the story.

SPOILER OR NOT A SPOILER: YOU DECIDE

To add to the pseudo-spoilers provided by Holmishire, she plays a pivotal role in a major plot event at some point in the story. :D

Okay so uh.. Hi. For those of you who happened to read parts of my "Godder-wtf" I'm really really sorry for how long this last chapter took. There were a couple very uncooperative characters, and some scenes that took way longer than I had thought they were going to take (both in time writing and in wordcount, this entire chapter came out to like 22k, which is humongously longer than all of my previous chapters), all the same, I am hopeful this will be enjoyable and subsequent chapters will not take so horrifically long to come out.

Please enjoy, Chapter 4 - Holey Pokie.
