And that, everyone, is why Magikoopas must wear head-to-toe robes in public at all times.

Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?" (Chapter 45 / 50)

So I finally caught up with reading this. It was fantastic before I left, but its gotten so much better since.

It'd be unnecessary for me to comment on every single thing that's happened (even though I really wanna), so I'll just reaffirm that it's amazing how you've managed to construct this story on back-and-forth improv alone, plus the copious amount of cameos you guys have managed to throw in makes this even better for anyone who gets a mention (loved the bit with Stooben's guitars).

Sad how it's almost ending, but at the same time I really can't wait to see how it concludes.

Also, are extra lives are actually going to be a thing? (has that been addressed yet, I can't remember.) I'm just imagining Walkazo's reaction if Mario was killed only to get back up again because he still had another life lol

edit:nvm

Do it. The longer the better. Write an essay about it and submit it to your English teacher, and when they're all "wtf is this shit" you'll be like "bitch please, it's Dragon Problem" (bonus points if they're a dude) and they'll say "omg sorry A+" The end.

But anyway, so glad you like it!

Although small disclaimer: Edo and did start planning ahead in regards to the overall storyline after a while, although most of the chapter-by-chapter stuff is improv (and all the early chapters were completely improv, at least on my end), some things were retroactively added to the longer plots (i.e. the spaceous toilets were added to the Mayor Mario backstory after starting out as nothing more than me being lazy with a couple pictures, people pointing it out in the comments and me then lampshading it in the story), and lots of ideas were added, thrown out or changed as time went on and more stuff happened in the meantime. It's kinda like how Homestuck is a mix of planning ahead, adding new things, reflecting the fandom, and spamming visual callbacks everywhere, only on a MUCH more modest scale.

This is probably the most legit idea I have ever seen in quite a long time.

Those things happen when a project/story becomes larger and more popular (which happened here). And it can improve the quality if done right (which also happened here).

So how did you manage to hang on to that beard?

Because Walkazo spat soup over it, giving it a quality that means it resists all fire.
 
Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?" (Chapter 45 / 50)

Yeah, it was all the toxic chemicals in the soup that did it. Bad for eating, good for fireproofing minions.

Very true, and even without constant reader feedback and popularity, stories can still end up running away with their authors. It it becomes some long, windy boring thing, yeah, that's not so good, but if it overruns expectations in a good way, then really, that's all that matters.

While I really enjoyed the carefree fun of early stages where I had no agenda besides "let's see what Edo will do with this, mwahahaha", I definitely think the quality went up as we started taking it more seriously and putting more effort into it, turning it from something that was fun at the time to something that was fun to do, and that I feel I'll be able to look back on with pride long into the future. But it's hard to evaluate your own work objectively (or say positive things about your stuff without sounding like some braggy asshole ^^; ), so I'm very glad to hear that you (and others) think it's improved over time.
