Thank you all so much. Moving to the other site did not prevent a growing problem of too much time writing and not enough time playing. Buffy and I both agreed to take some time off and simply roam, adventure and play in Cyrodiil. She explains it better than I over on our thread here: http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4420

We are loving our days together in Cyrodiil now. If we resume writing, it would be after a good long break and it would start her over again with a different background story.

Once again, thanks so much to those that have supported us.

I miss you two. Buffy was the reason that after several years of lurking (spent playing Morrowind, and later Oblivion) I finally registered here.

Aww. Thank you so much for the kind words. :hugs:
I assure you that Buffy is wonderfully alive and well and we continue to adventure across Cyrodiil. Here are a few somewhat recent screenshots:

Lately, Buffy has been helping me explore some mods. There may come a time when we start her adventure over with a completely different background story. At that point, she may consider once again telling her story.

OMG nearly had a heart attack. Came on here and saw that you had a new post Acadin. Thought you had started almost wet myself , good to know that your still adventuring with Buffy.

Oooh, the first picture is Buffy's avatar! I actually have started a mystic bowgirl character myself because of Buffy. With OOO it is different, some things are easier and some are not. She's a character I created for a Morrowind mod I made. (The rogue Aramir. In the mod, just after you meet her she empties your wallet. You then have to find her. You have to ask Orcs "Seen any elves?" )

You have fantastic character immersion.

*Uses all willpower not to sneak a peek on the comments here and risk spoilers*

The screenshots are not working in the third thread!! Fixing required, please!
I tried using the photobucket search engine, but the search results were useless...
''Buffy' gave me... well Buffy, but the other one 'Acadian' gave me....... a man in a pink tank top with light blue eyeshadow.
Did you know that nail polish remover can not only remove nail polish, but also be used as eye-bleach? I just found out >.>

Thank you Namira! I'm honored that you have been reading.

AyumiFan, I am so tickled that you are reading. I think I know what the problem with the screenies in thread III is. As you know the thread is locked so I can't edit it right now. I will contact one of the mods and see if I can get it unlocked, then fix the twenty or so screenies in that thread. It will probably take a couple days, but I will PM you when it is fixed, or if I run into problems.

Buffy sends to you both: :hugs:

EDIT: Ok, I got one of our wonderful mods to help me fix the screenshot links in thread 3. I noted also that the links were broken in this thread and fixed those as well. Even though Buffy and I are playing instead of writing now, I thank you so much for pointing out the problem with the screenshots so I could fix them.

Thanks Buffy and Acadian, Aveles(my ranger) just finished reading the incomplete saga and has decided to pick up his sword again and travel to Akavir to seek the Nerevarine. he wishes everyone a fond farewell and leaves his bow to Buffy.



(sighs) now im going to have to wait for a writer of equal greatness to show up
someone message me when the Tolkien incarnate arrives...

After a long break from writing, spent adventuring in Cyrodiil, Buffy and I have resumed telling her story. We have started on another site (link in my sig) and will leisurely retell her story from chapter one until caught up.

This is an excellent oportunity for anyone who would like to reread her story from the beginning or for newer readers to join her at the start.

Once caught up, we will then complete her archery tournament storyline and continue her adventure.

Thank you to those who have been, and continue to be, so supportive of us.

Using another site to tell her story is not a negative reflection on this wonderful forum. The other site is simply more intimate and specialized to support fan fiction - noteably including the ability to permanently organize and archive a writer's work via subforums. Buffy continues to be an active 'mystic archer advisor' on the Oblvion game forums here.

How did Buffy manage to kill Earana in Chorrol? In my game she is still marked essential even after finishing both parts of the Mages' Guild recommendation quest.

Hi, My Cat! I just went to UESP wiki and pulled the following quote regarding Earana: Essential Until the end of Fingers of the Mountain, Part II
Here's the page it came from: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Earana

Then I started up Buffy's game and looked waaayy back in her 'completed quests' log. She completed part one of the Chorrol recommendation by delivering the book to Teekeus. She then started part two by telling Earana she had given the book to Teekeus and naturally Earana told her to steal it back. Buffy completed part two of the quest by telling Earana to get stuffed. That of course resulted in a very scary tirade from Earana, earning her a top spot on the list of those who had violated the 'Buffy Doctrine'. It was quite some time later that Buffy returned to Chorrol to kill Earana and did so just as described in her journal. It was not necessary to change Earana to 'non essential'. She died just fine.

I know you said you finished both parts, but check your quest log again to make sure it says they are complete. You can complete part two by either stealing back the book and giving it to the witch, or telling the witch to get stuffed like Buffy did. Either way should give you a 'quest complete' pop up.

If you are on PC and wanted to make Earana non essential, this should do it: ~setessential 224E2 0

Buffy and I are not above maniuplating the game a bit to support our story, but it was not necessary in this case.

I hope that answers your question and I thank you so much for reading Buffy. It is the wonderful support of readers such as yourself that inspired us to resume Buffy's story anew.

Mea culpa. I didn't bother to go back to get the spell from the column. Now I can kill her :flamethrower:

WooHoo! Shoot her once for Buffy and I. What a snotty witch she is!

Seriously, glad you got it sorted.

I've recently started reading Buffy's stuff from the beginning, and wow Acadian. Simply wow.

I really enjoy the way it's written from her perspective, and you being the presence guiding her was a brilliant touch.

It actually inspired me to create my own Bosmer Archer/Mage. You successfully got me out of the pure mage rut, and for that I thank you.

=]

Thank you so much! We discontinued here at about chapter 69 and took 3 months off. Recently, we have restarted her story (with minor edits) on another site, http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4474. We'll be republishing her stories there at about two per week until caught up, then continuing from there.

I realize that her older threads here will eventually disappear into 'old thread heaven', so I wanted to find a home for her stories that allows permanent archiving, and the other site does that.

Thank you again for the kind words.
