So, what to read:

Adventures of an unlikable protagonist, or boring porn?

Well, that's an awkward first post.

We have a topic for boats?

No it's a feat that you can take at level 5 to get free water transportation. But it's completely useless because Improved Spell Capacity s way better and you can later travel by Overland Flight or Waterwalking anyway.

Depends on how poorly written the porn is?

I wouldn't call Romance Reports Poorly written, Merely Mediocre.

-Sigh- Why does Content Violations hate porn works again?

Depending on how bad the porn is, it might be worth a laugh.

Journalism is just a gun. It's only got one bullet in it, but if you aim right, that's all you need.

AND THEN BREAKS YOUR HEART AND MAKES YOU SOB AT HOW SHITTY THE RESOLUTION WAS ;A;

Aveners sucked because not enough characters died at the end.

The main problem with the story (apart from the obvious) is the nothing. There's nothing there. Nothing happens. Just... I dunno, Twilight milling around with her "learn about romance" shtick. I'm twenty thousand words or something into this and been rewarded with a big fat load of nothing.

Seriously, it's just boring. At least Fallout Equestria has enough decency to have stuff happening.

Nice work Mousa!

Its a PORN STORY. Plot is secondary. Although it probably makes it worse that the author gave a half-baked attempt towards a plot.

@Storyyeller They had a couple pirate bands that sang sea shanties and we drank wine and gorged ourselves on uhealthy food. The ticket proceeds went towards supporting the Diamondback Terrapin management program (I like Turtles!).

Thats about as well as I can describe it.

I dunno, when I read a "porn story" I like there to be some plot. Its a lot more interesting when I actually care about the characters that are... acting it out. Never was much for the Plumber showing up to fix a pipe and then banging the lonely housewife type stuff.

It's kind of bizarre that 2nd and 3rd place awarded medals but no cash prize.

Not that surprising. Cash is expensive.

Yeah, I wish I could afford more cash.

Got a lot of people who say Romance Reports has a genuinely good and moving plot. Welp. Haven't seen any of that shit yet.

#251368 CDRW Mon, 16th Jul '12 4:51:50 PM

And all sorts of competitions have cash prizes for second and third place that aren't anything more than consolation prizes, saving the real money for first place.

Speaking of money, how does the currency work in the show?

Everything's been done. Everything has a meaning. However your life at best is to serve as a building block for others.

Hey Storyyeller. I've been wondering where you were.

#251373 Drenius Mon, 16th Jul '12 4:59:09 PM from Northern Virginia

Yeah, a far as we've seen there don't seem to be multiple denominations of bits, but just a single type of currency that is minted.

#251374 storyyeller Mon, 16th Jul '12 4:59:27 PM from Appleloosa

Pop culture references tend to cheapen a story for me, they make it so the story wont hold value over time as those references are lost to the ages.

I don't mind them if they're in-universe or worked into the story well, but I really hate it when references are shoehorned in. Especially 20% in ten seconds flat.
