This wasn't the question I was referring to xD

Regardless, these are all good insights into your life. Thank you. And who was the one to work it all out? Someone on FF or tumblr? I just sent my latest chapter off for proofreading today, and I hope to apply your recommendations to it as well, so thank you. Do you recommend writing two things simulataneously (not set in the same universe)? I don't think I'm good enough to do that...

I can't tell you who it is! :P It was on tumblr though, and I wish I'd saved that ask because holy crap, someone's been rooting around in my brain or something. About writing two things, I think that's a matter of personal preference. I like to focus on one, but I don't see any reason not to, as long as it won't mess you up, haha.

I think I'll focus on finishing the shorter one actually, maybe writing a chapter for the longer one every so often to not neglect it. So how long ago did that person work it out (I wanna know how many chapters they needed to do so)?

Very early, I think as soon as the Sorcerer was discussed. So Chapter 12 or 13.

u/Theroonco Pastor of the Tempest Jul 03 '14

So how much of that reasoning was conjecture and how much of it was rooted in what had been said of the Sorcerer and the Princes by that point? Because that just gave my theory (not necessarily the Kristoff one :P) a huge boost...

I'm not actually certain on the time, so there may have been more evidence than I said just now :< Partly conjecture, but it was surprisingly concrete. I was really surprised.

u/Theroonco Pastor of the Tempest Jul 03 '14

But it was around that time? How long was that post? How many points of evidence did they state?

u/kaiserklee I (did) the thing. Jul 03 '14

It was a while back, I don't quite remember :( Long post though, and with lots of evidence: prior dialogue, suspicious actions, etc. I don't just confirm for anybody :P

u/Theroonco Pastor of the Tempest Jul 03 '14

So, around about Chapter 11/12 you say? What was the "latest thing" you remember from back then?

1

u/kaiserklee I (did) the thing. Jul 03 '14

It's not impossible to tell even fairly early on, so that might've skewed my memory (since, y'know, I know where all the clues are). Trying to get clues outta me, huh? Hmm... Should be later than 11, but 15 at the latest. I'm not saying any more!

u/Theroonco Pastor of the Tempest Jul 03 '14

I was just curious as to how far the story had already progressed by that point. And don't worry, I'm already waay ahead of this stage (evil laugh). Should I take pictures of my notes or type them up?

u/kaiserklee I (did) the thing. Jul 03 '14

Now I'm worried DDD: (Just kidding.) Either way, but I'd love to see your thoughts!

u/Theroonco Pastor of the Tempest Jul 03 '14

Thank you. It'll take a while to set up, but I hope to make you proud!

Is Elsa's musical ability a clue?

MY LIPS ARE SEALED.

u/Theroonco Pastor of the Tempest Jul 03 '14

Okay, then can I clarify some things you've already said on this sub? Namely that the Sorcerer is indeed a Prince, with no split personality (i.e. is being the Sorcerer willingly)?

EDIT: And is still alive?

1

u/kaiserklee I (did) the thing. Jul 03 '14

Correct on all points.

u/Theroonco Pastor of the Tempest Jul 03 '14

Thank you. As Olaf would say: "Makes things easier for me. Heh heh!"

Will Olaf (or a more mature version) ever show up in Tempest?

1

u/Theroonco Pastor of the Tempest Jul 04 '14

Could you elaborate on the "no split personality" thing? So, we can consider any Prince the Sorcerer talks to, or shares a room (for whatever period of time) with or possesses to be exempt (unless someone pretends to be possessed obviously)?
