Hello, I just read Apotheosis/World_and_lore and really liked it. Are you still working on it? I made a small edit on what I believe was a typo, sorry if it wasn't.

Edit: Also, did you create the maps yourself? What software did you use? -- Imperial (talk) 02:47, 11 June 2019 (CEST)

Heya, I'm actually surprised to see a reply so soon. I saw your last contribution as being from May and thought it might take a month or two before you came back. I guess you lurk around just reading other people's stories?

And yes, I actually saw that list and messaged them all, haha. I guess that was overkill but I'm used to somewhat more active Wikis, I wasn't aware people were using the forums for those stories.

Thanks for the tips. -- Imperial (talk) 12:10, 11 June 2019 (CEST)

I just finished reading Journals of Skyrim and really enjoyed it. Please keep going! After reading yours, I'm considering writing one of my own, but making it lore friendly is quite time intensive. --Hgcollins (talk) 06:07, 7 October 2020 (CEST)

Yeah, I just started a new play-through yesterday and got a few new mods. It's too bad all the required Mods for the Estrus Chaurus aren't available anymore. I wasn't too sure about it at first, but I think it kind of adds a nice touch to your story. I may just end up writing it into mine but I haven't decided yet. I'd hate to make it too similar to yours, so I might just end up doing my own thing. It's crazy how many ideas I've gotten for the Journal just by random things that have happened while I've been playing, though. I think the first journal should be fairly easy to finish up since it's just going to set up the story. But let me know if I mess something up and feel free to correct any errors. I'm still getting used to how this site works. (case in point: editing because I forgot to add my signature.) --Hgcollins (talk) 00:19, 8 October 2020 (CEST)

Thanks, I saw that last night. I liked the idea, so I'll probably start going through and doing that. I'll let you know if I have any questions.

If you find any typos, feel free to fix them. The last few additions I've made have been literal first drafts as I've gone back to make additions to the timeline, so another set of eyes is always helpful. --Hgcollins (talk) 18:00, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

I’ve been meaning to tell you, I really like the whole Vampire twist with Henriette’s mother. Also, I’ve always felt like Benor is an underrated Skyrim character. He’s way more personable than the main guy in that vampire quest. I’m a fan of Morthal against all odds even though it kind of sucks. I downloaded a mod to rebuild the burned down house and I usually make Morthal my home. It’s Benor and the Jarl Ravencrone that do it for me, I think. She’s definitely my favorite Jarl. A little strange, but just strange enough to be really interesting. It’s a shame they didn’t do more with her character, honestly. I think there is some cut content of her, though. --Hgcollins (talk) 07:20, 17 December 2021 (CET)

Sometimes I wish I could replay Skyrim again for the first few times. There’s definitely a point when you start to see so much more potential. The civil war especially although that quest line is so bugged as it is, I see why they couldn’t make it work how they wanted to. Not that I really have much right to complain, though. It’s really the only game I’ve ever been super obsessed with. I played Oblivion and I’ll probably get into Morrowind one of these days. That’s what mods are for, I guess. Speaking of that, if you haven’t played the Bruma Beyond Skyrim Mod, I highly recommend it. --Hgcollins (talk) 17:15, 17 December 2021 (CET)

Oh yeah, I downloaded some graphics mods and tried to start Morrowind once. I know if I stuck with it I’d love it, but it definitely hasn’t aged well that’s for sure. --Hgcollins (talk) 17:38, 17 December 2021 (CET)

Nice to see you back! --Hgcollins (talk) 21:20, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, I've managed to make it work lately, but it's not always easy to find time; especially if you're trying to write anything Lore friendly in Elder Scrolls. --Hgcollins (talk) 06:59, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Well, the twist of how she became a vampire definitely caught me off guard. I look forward to reading more! --Hgcollins (talk) 09:07, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Only Elerneron can change their contributor status. --Hgcollins (talk) 02:56, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

You aught to know, every single time you get busy writing one of your stories, I start getting into playing Skyrim again... I can't wait for them to finish Beyond Skyrim, though. --Hgcollins (talk) 05:14, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Xephion

Do you mind if i delete all the extra stuff we talk about on the discussion thread on that page we been discussing lately like some of the things like me sleeping badly and me askign permission or shit like that, that is clustering the page it looks a lot bigger than it has to be. p.s. I'm just gonna do it tell me if you want it differently or revert it back later --Xephion (talk) 21:44, 29 September 2022 (CEST)

So if my take on Marianne doesn't work then that's okay, I can flip her to a new character or something. I didn't know what plans you might have for her, only that she hadn't been seen up until now. Based on her description, I thought it would be fun for a girl who dresses maturely, even provocatively - seemingly to scratch her own horny-teenager itch - would be the one to not know about the game! If she's a bit of a loner that makes sense too. Likes to be seen, but too uptight/nervous/image-conscious to act. But her being friends with Venla, perhaps the polar opposite of Marianne, also felt perfect. Venla might be the one girl in town who would NOT want to talk about the game even if Marianne did know, especially with Danny trying to "protect" her in the ways he has (blindfolding her at the cabin). But let me know what you think and whether we change this Marianne or ice-cream-attendant Marianne, totally open to whatever! --Villenia (talk) 21:11, 24 October 2022 (CEST)

Let me know if there are any branches between Milka and Ludwig that you're not so interested in. I'd be up for filling in a little branch to help fill out that section as I've been stuck elsewhere. Danny and Emilia took it out of me! lol --Villenia (talk) 21:46, 8 November 2022 (CET)

Sorry I've been busy. Your points were totally valid btw on the last Mommy's Mark. I wrote that just to get to the next option, for Emilia (the reader really) to pick a direction to go. But there could be a lot more hesitation or another scene break where she comes to her mom again the next day to help show that it's not a risk she's taking lightly. The line where she said she was already pretending she was her mom's slave helps speak to her motivation though and that she may be driven by her own selfish desires here. Or it could be spun that she's certain that her friends wouldn't abandon her either way. But sadly I haven't had the time to do as much writing lately. Feel free to change anything you like though, I'm very open to collaboration! And still looking forward to your next scene! --Villenia (talk) 19:51, 28 November 2022 (CET)

No worries. Rest assured you can always make changes, never a wasted effort! Playing off of other ideas is always interesting, especially when you get tunnel vision. But I understand how you feel about needing a break. I tend to have bursts of activity and am running out of steam at the moment. I might get another page or two out before I drop off for a bit myself, but we'll see. Still interested to see what you put out next, whenever you get around to it! --Villenia (talk) 23:30, 28 November 2022 (CET)

Some thoughts that can't be spoilered so easy! pastebin com/iwWZCkE7 --Villenia (talk) 16:54, 8 January 2023 (CET)

Thank you got the kind words about my fictional universe that I came up with. I really do appreciate it. It is nice to know when people actually read what you write and even better when leave positive comments.

What I wrote up is very Western-centric. One could imagine that with colonization period that Christian ideals would have spread around the world just as they have in our own.

I have everything written out that I wanted for the background. I'm going to work on the second chapter of Naked in School based story then start to finish the first chapter of the story set in this universe. --Jasmine Horus (talk) 20:25, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
