Despite being inspired, the actual writing was slow-going. Damn, and I have no inspiration for the next chapter yet. But I think this is my best chapter yet. I love the jokes in it the most. No, not because the name of the places sound exactly like ‘roleplay’ or because of that little self-insert. =P Again, characters are created after members of RPGDreamers forum to make things more interesting. Hope that the fourth chapter can motivate itself out at a faster rate than the one I’m currently writing with.

Synopsis: Now that Monty acquired expert swordsmanship all of a sudden, what else does he lack? Directions, of course.

( ‘Rowplei Forest, the path to the mysterious hidden Rowplei Village. Just follow the signs’ )

Due to overwhelming response, I wrote the second chapter up pretty quickly and continued making fun of a lot of them cliches. I’ve already got bits of the third chapter planned, because inspiration has been coming in tidal waves. Like in the last chapter, characters are casted by members of the RPGDreamers forum and certain things are heavily based on it.

Synopsis: Monty goes on a quest to save his sister from the evil dragon that kidnapped her, after the mayor kicked him out. Literally.

( “Okay, my sister got kidnapped by a dragon and I got thrown out of the village. So now what do I do?” )

Falling prey to the virus that contaminates some of the writers of RPGDreamers forum to write fics related to the forum or its members, I was struck by the idea of making fun of popular RPG games cliches while making it hilarious but somewhat related to the members by casting them into some of the roles. Thus this piece of completely nonsensical fun.

Synopsis: In the small Nyubee Town, a young man is about to discover that he is not what he thinks he is. Or something like that.

( It was a lovely day at Nyubee Town. Sun was shining, birds were singing, and the people were hard at work. )

Was watching my sister play Suikoden III and realized that the quiet archer that I like is pretty heavily targeted by certain monsters, especially one particular flaming flying being. If it was an online game, I wouldn’t be so surprised, but since it’s a RPG, it’s quite amusing. So amused that it inspired me to write this.

Synopsis: a.k.a. ‘What happens when Jacques get roasted’. My first try at Suikoden 3 humour. For once, no shonen-ai hint.

( “No!! Not another friggin Troll Dragon!!” )
