Hi everyone, unice5656 here.
About a year ago, when these forums first opened, I started posting an original fiction I wrote that was inspired by reading 1/2 Prince (http://princerev.freeforums.net/thread/83/original-virtual-reality-adventure-fantasia). Though some of the humour is reminiscent of 1/2 Prince, I hope people find parts of it original as well.
Anyways, this whole time, I've been updating here as well as on other sites as I write. I kind of thought that nobody except this one very nice reader (and more recently a second reader) who takes the time to PM me was paying any attention to the story, but just the other day, I noticed that there are over 6000 views on my thread. Doing the math based on the number of members on these forums, it appears that at least some members had to have visited it over 20 times.
I was told when I started that I could make a separate thread for comments, but I never bothered because I didn't think anyone was reading. Now that I think some people are reading, I'm making this thread.
So... Is anybody reading Fantasia? If you are, did you like it? What made you like it? Who's your favourite character? What's your favourite scene? Do you want to play the game?
Do you have a theory on what's up with the NPCs? (If you do, please send me a PM or post in a spoiler box.)
I really, really, really enjoy getting comments and feedback.

Yes, I really like Fantasia. I guess it's because of the realistic characters, humor and adventure. So far, I'd have to say that Amethyst is my favorite. My favorite scene.... {Spoiler}{Chapter 29}It would have to be the one where Magic invents Laughing Spores. Do I want to play the game? Hm, I dunno... Of course I do!! It would be so fun to play Fantasia (or nearly any game of its kind). Do I have a theory on what's up with the NPCs? No, but only because you already confirmed it.

Oh! I hardly noticed this thread... about your view things, perhaps it registers views for unregistered viewers? I used to read this before I had an account. I got an account so that I could put on the 'likes' and send PMs (what is 1/2 prince?). Am I the 'second reader'? (Yay! I've been mentioned!) I assume I am because until recently, only Xiao and I have been using the 'like' button on it, and she's been doing it longer than I. I guess I'll answer the questions now. Am I reading Fantasia? No. {Spoiler!}Just kidding! That was sarcastic! Of course I've beenreading it. Why else would I post here at all? Did I like it? Yes. What made me like it? What made you like (your favorite dessert here)? Who's my favorite character? That's... a tough question. I'd probably have to decide between Fey, Blade, Sirena, Amethyst, Leandriel, Magic, Boris, Ebony, Midnight, Requiem, Arwyn, Obsidian, Topaz, (other characters here), but it's probably the narrator. What's my favorite scene? {Spoiler!} <Fey: Um, Leandriel?> <Leandriel: Are you enjoying yourself in there? I should land in a few minutes and I will be able to let you out.> <Fey: You wanna hurry things up out there? I may have kind of triggered an avalanche and may suffocate in the near future.> <Leandriel: An avalanche? Is there snow in there?> <Fey: No, just a ridiculous mountain of coins. Is there a reason you don’t keep money in the bank?> <Leandriel: I do. This is simply what I’ve collected since the last time I was able to visit the bank.> Do I want to play the game? What game? . . . Oh! You mean Fantasia, don't you? (That was actually my thought process) I don't know. It seems kinda dangerous to give the gremlins that kind of an advantage. Do I have a theory on what's up with the NPCs? Of course I do! {Spoiler!}They are computer gremlins! The developers (who are expert hackers, as seen when they were defending against their rivals), before they made the game, hacked the NSA and accidentally found their communication channel with the computer gremlins. Then they struck a deal with the gremlins. The gremlins would play the part of the NPCs in the game, and they would get to read the player's minds to allow them to perform better pranks (bizzare tech issues) on them.

Haha jamdal yes you are reader #2 that I'm aware of. Xiao Mei is my awesome reader #1. Recently, I've noticed a third reader, so yay! Thanks for taking the time to let me know you exist and I'm not just posting things into the ether. ...How can you not know what 1/2 Prince is? Did you not come to these forums through Prince Revolution? Anyways, if you actually haven't read 1/2 Prince and you enjoy Fantasia, I highly recommend you try it: www.princerevolution.org/halfprince-main/Regarding your theory about the NPCs: {Spoiler!} It's incorrect. Feel free to keep guessing

I'm reading Fantasia as well And I love it <3 I'm just usually too lazy to log onto the forums (I keep forgetting my password...)... sorry about that x'D I've been reading it from the start and also got a friend of mine (who hasn't got an account) to read it, because I love the story and the humour. I think my favourite character is Fey... in a way I can really identify with her (human interaction? What is that? How does it work?) and generelly I just think she is a really great character. But I also love the rest of the cast (except for Requiem. I didn't really like him that much... but he was a great source of comic relief), oh and I love the snarky narrator. The snarky narrator is great. I have read 1/2 prince... but I must admit, I like your story much better. Probably because I didn't like the last arc of 1/2 prince as much. But in any case, at this point I have read Fantasia... probably about 4 times. I keep rereading it when waiting for the next chapter... I'll probably know it by heart soon In any case, I'm glad you made the comment thread, otherwise I would have never been able to let you know how much I love your story (... I am much to shy to send a PM x'D) NPCs: My theory as to the NPC... I've been wondering for a while now, whether the NPC are all like Leandriel? After all, everybody is convinced he is one... why should it be impossible, that the other NPC aren't company employees as well?

Ariana Thanks for taking the time to let me know you and your friend are reading Fantasia! I love getting PMs, so if you have any questions or comments about the story, don't be afraid to send them. Or you can post them here and I'll answer. Regarding your theory about the NPCs: {Spoiler!} Glad to see my foreshadowing is working.

Hi, I haven't been here for a while, but I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you that I really enjoy reading Fantasia. It is a wonderful story and you are a brilliant writer. I'll be cheering you on \^o^/! (I have also just noticed the existence of the "Like" button, super tech unsavvy here as you can probably tell)
