  • Would you ever be interested in writing a full story for any of the alternate universe Paul's ? I really enjoyed the angelic Paul storyline
    Mr Zoat
    Mr Zoat
    While it's not impossible, I'll be in my mid-fifties by the time I finish this story, so... Don't hold your breath.
    are you planning to update In Praise of Eros or is that not currently in the cards?
    Mr Zoat
    Mr Zoat
    I don't have any plans to do so at the moment. That doesn't mean that I won't, it's just that I had two different sexual encounters to choose between and I picked the one I didn't have a full episode planned for.

    I'm currently reading in the Story Only thread. Should I be reading the Renegade chapters? I've been skipping past them but am not sure if they become relevant later on.

    They're relevant to themselves? The closest thing to a crossover involved the Renegade stabbing Krona.

    I'm sorry if this question bothers you or not but back on space battles does the red text reading time and date means it non Canon or an alternative path?
    This is for your with this ring story
    Mr Zoat
    Mr Zoat
    I don't have another story.

    The red time/date indicates a version of the SI who had a bad day before getting inserted. He takes a more aggressive and confrontational path as a result.

    Mr. Zoat I just had the most wonderful/awful idea. I was listening to Meant to be Yours from Heathers and the idea just struck me. Have you considered an AU that was pretty much the same up until the first Merging with the Ophidian? With the Ophidian being much more possessive/obsessive over not wanting to let go of Paul? Essentially a JD-type Ophidian?

    Can she fixate to the point where she just barely wants other stuff? Like, other stuff: "Hmmm, yess good, want that." But when it's Paul: "MINE,MINE,MINE,, MY LANTERN, MY PAUL, MINE!"
    ShadowScion626
    ShadowScion626
    Can she do that?

    Mr Zoat
    I suppose, but she's already got him at that point.
    ShadowScion626
    Hi Mr Zoat!
    I've been rereading and got to the Zeus Arc. Would you mind terribly writing a short omake or at least giving a step by step of what would have happened if Paul had not made the promise and immediately went off with the Ophidian to solve the issue?
    ShadowScion626
    ShadowScion626
    I really like to imagine that Paul went with his earlier idea of feeding the nascent God of Technology to the Ophidian for a boost, then bursts into Olympus so hard he knocks the giant marble doors straight out of place and they actually fly over and impale themselves in the wall above Zeus's head.

    Bonus points if it's some kind of Olympian Meeting for the 12 Major gods and after the door thing he hisses (literally) out that anyone who's not gonna help him and doesn't want to be devoured/caught in the crossfire better get out *now*.

    I have as much control over what you write as Greg Weisman has over what I write.
    Are you Planing on making this downloadable for the public once its done?

    The way I've been scraping it up so far is using the SingleFile addon (in Firefox) to just save a copy of each page of the archive to my computer.

    Sure, it's 180ish .html items to have in a folder...but on the other hand the font size + font color + intermittent embedded images iare exactly as they are on the site, and this way I don't have to worry about where I'd need to choose to break it into volumes.

    If you could threadmark each post in the story only thread (instead of just the first post per episode) there are various tools to format an epub based on threadmarks. This would turn that thread into an easily downloadable copy of the entire story. Or posting old chapters to some more standard webnovel site like RoyalRoad, Ao3, or Scribblehub could work as well.
    Mr Zoat
    Mr Zoat
    Perhaps, but that would make navigation harder in the actual thread and require me to make several hundred threadmarks now.
    So Zoat, I recently went to the military history museum in Edinburgh Castle. And I could find not one reference to an actual Scottish victory.

    As the only British person I'm aware of who responds to my messages, have historical Scots actually been that shitty at warfare?

    There were tons of references to battles and famous figures, just nothing about them ever winning anything
    Mr Zoat
    Mr Zoat
    Battle of Bannockburn. Battle of Stirling Bridge, though that was a bit of a cheat. I'm not really an expert on Scottish history, so that's just off the top of my head.
    Ardy
    I suppose as long as it's within the last thousand years it counts by Scottish standards

    Hi, question. How do you have the time to post so often and consistently? Is your job like super easy or are you actually somehow getting paid for this?
    ShadowScion626
    Hi Mr. Zoat! Big fan here, started reading on SpaceBattles then followed over here! I have a question. With how Sinestro seems to be setting himself up as a adversary, that makes me think of possible fights between Parallax!Possessed-Sinestro and Ophidian!Merged Paul.
    AngelicKnight.
    Hey Mr Zoat, have you watched Rick and morty? Just the Fear hole episode is amazing and then I thought about elemental enlightenment as in your fic and I wanted to ask a thing.
    Mr Zoat
    Mr Zoat
    I've watched some episodes. Haven't watched that one outside of a few clips. I think the canonical fear lodges that the Sinestro Corps use work in a similar way.
    AngelicKnight.
    AngelicKnight.
    Ah good, glad it wasn't just me that saw a similarity there.

    But it will push and manipulate you into facing your fears, accepting them and overcoming them. Fear after fear, from minor ones like spiders to sensible ones like the fear of being gutted like a fish to more abstract fears like the fear of becoming your father.
    AngelicKnight.
    AngelicKnight.
    Decades can pass while you undergo these experiences, building up to the fear you will face to the point where you'll likely never know you've ever left the hole and will have to simply accept that fear.

    But from the outside it will just be a few seconds.
    Mr Zoat, I was wondering if there are any links where the story is better organised. Not that I mind the POVs in other universes.

    I would just prefer to read Paul's story more easily. If not, can you group link the various characters?

    Hello Mr. Zoar, I wanted to know if I could post the compilation of all the arcs (With this ring) on scribblehub? Since they are separated on different sites I wanted to post everything there

    I would presume that it is impossible to access for people without QQ accounts. I know I recommended it to someone on SB and they got annoyed they couldn't find it despite it being in the SFW section.
    Mr Zoat
    Mr Zoat
    My signature on SpaceBattles also has links if they want to find it. Also, thank you for recommending it.
    Ardy
    No, I mean like when they got the link, it didn't go through because you need an account to view it

    Also you're welcome, well deserved recommendation
    Hey there mr zoat I just wanted to ask if your story has romance and if so who is the lead? Or is it a harem or smth
    Mr Zoat, is it ok to just keep ignoring the renegade options? Does it have any impact in the canon line? Cause I've just skipped like a Pages worth of the renegade line and its gonna suck to read all of the ones i missed.
    XENOCALIBUR-X00a
    Mr zoat could you please post a timeline and series Bible for (With This Ring) major event so we can write a crossover of this story with outers that will make sense for your version of the multiverse and not break it I have ideas but not the needed data to start working on an outline

    This request is for information linked together and a timeline up to current information not future

    I really need to know are you gonna bring teekl back I just reached the part where kon asks if Paul had seen her and almost cried... Please say yes!

    Right, which means they care about you. For pretty much all of human history with cats, more mice = more dead people, so they're protecting you and proud of it by showing it to you. They also (according to some not necessarily accurate but recent science) see you as another cat, so since you've been feeding them so much they felt obliged to return the favor with a seagull.

    Hey Mr Zoat, could you remind me which space scifi TV series that obscure table/card game you like is about? Specifically, is it the Babylon 5 Component Game System, as I recently acquired at least a partial copy of that.
    DeathReaperZ
    Does the paragon require his rings to interact with the orange light, or is he not at that level yet? Also, I apologize if you are getting worn out by my endless barrage of questions, I've got so invested in this that I tend to focus on nearly every detail.

    I see that I should've specified it better. What I mean is that, can he "step out", manipulate, desires, talk to the Ophidian and do the other unusual things he does with the orange light without using his ring? Also, why did you choose the orange light? Not that I mind, but it seems a bit curious seeing how many other variants there are.
    Mr Zoat
    Mr Zoat
    In theory, anyone can do all of those things without a power ring. It's just really hard.

    At the moment, he can weakly manipulate desires and talk to the Ophidian.

    I honestly don't remember why I chose the orange light. It might have been because it was user-friendly with an obvious psychological drawback. Might have been because the comics clearly weren't interested in exploring the psychological aspect.
    DeathReaperZ
    DeathReaperZ
    Thanks for the answer. Although I definitely wouldn't consider his desire manipulation weak, lol.
    DeathReaperZ
    I've been confused about something, is the Daiklave a bastard/great sword? Something like this? https://i.imgur.com/yatRZ.jpeg And will renegade and paragon ever meet? PS, maybe have someone use the anti-life equation on paragon and have him turn it into an avarice equation instead? Something like Life=Avarice?

    Good to know, could you please check my previous comments as I am pretty curious about some of the stuff that happened. And when I talked about the anti-life, I didn't mean that Grayven had to use it. Instead, anyone that has been exposed to it in the paragon's world could. Will Darkseid ever appear in paragon's world?
    Mr Zoat
    Mr Zoat
    I don't have any plans for Darkseid to put in a personal appearance. I would be after the planned end of the story, and I want to stop writing before I die of old age.

    My first post here, I was wondering how much of Paul's personality and life is based on you, if you don't mind me asking that is. Also, will we get more cyan lantern? As of page 96, we've only gotten 2 posts.

    Ah, that's a bit of shame to see the writer not comfortable collaborating. Qash happened when Paragon was fighting reach ships in space, the ships tried bending space to their advantage, but the paragon undid that. He also compressed the space around some other reach ships to disable/destroy them. I was wondering whether he used his ring or the orange light to do it.

    Hey man, I have a question.
    Do you intend to do anything with the alternative Pauls? I really liked Marvel!Paul and Worm!Paul and I'd definitely read a fic going about them.

    I don't presently have a long term plan for them.

    Would you be ok with someone adopting their story lines if they give you credit for them and don't veer too far off Paul's character?
