I enjoyed reading this, despite not being a Warcraft fan. I liked your agents' personalities: smart and positive, but still capable of descending into sarcasm.

I liked the set-up going into the mission. A fic-in-a-notebook is a new idea, but I like that you portrayed the console as being able to pinpoint the fic's "position" in "space" despite the story not being online. The weaving of the pencil sketches into the physical action is unique and fun, too. And the out-of-order pages affecting the flow of time was hilarious. The Lich king's dramatic return at the end was also cool.

Also fun! I like how you use real!Sylendre's presence as a different, more emotional perspective on Azeroth's corruption, in comparison to Mei's more technical fan-based annoyance. (I take it Sylendre is your actual gameplay name/avatar?) I especially liked the quiet moment of dialogue between Sylendre and Erron, where he shares his view on being "fictional." It's a nice, calm moment in the middle of all the hectic madness elsewhere.

I feel really stupid for not figuring out the cause of the rain earlier than I did. At the point when the journal first got wet, I even remember thinking that it was going to come back and affect the story in some way. But you introduced the rain elements so subtly and slowly, I didn't make the connection until the same point when the agents did. And you really put the sogginess to good use as a way to make things difficult for the agents. I especially like that this gave Sylendre, the only one with the capability to solve that problem, to have a moment to shine and fix her home world mostly on her own.

All in all, I think you've got a good grasp on constructing a mission in a funny, entertaining and demonstrative-of-canon way. Well done! I look forward to reading more.

—doctorlit, glad to have another quality spin-off under our roof

Not receiving further notes is not indicative of anything. Your beta reader(s) may just be distracted (or procrastinating), but still intend to come back later. If they know their job, you should either receive a final email or get a clear "go" in a final comment on the Gdoc. In case they appear to have forgotten you, but you see them on the Board, it’s okay to ask what’s going on in an off-topic response (like "OT: Are you still beta reading?"). Asking by email is also okay, regardless of whether they are or aren’t active on the Board, but may not work if lost emails are the problem.

I generally default to email, and in your case I wanted to include some advice on further procedure that appeared to be too long for a note. In hindsight, doing both (the note just saying “email sent”) might have been the best.

I feel sorry for your losses, and I apologize for not asking what was going on. This wouldn’t have been the first time that something I beta-read was never posted, and I didn’t see you anywhere on the Board, so I wondered whether you had silently changed your mind and left (I’m glad you didn’t), and I didn’t want to pester you with further questions.

What exciting opening missions! The bit about multiclassing made me miss when players could do that in game... good times. Looking forward to more adventures that are hopefully less waterlogged.
