I'm glad you like it! Spike may or may not show up later, depending on how things play out. He'll probably at least get mentioned at some point.

Great comics! So love them!

My vote for next question is

Honestly, for consequential narrative, "Tell me about yourself." is perhaps the most obvious choice, given that Twilight seems to appreciate that the conversation remain as informal as possible.
But, considering the personality of Twilight, unless the time has not changed her, she is too meticulous, schematic and acute for not to notice the tension around her (okay that she is no longer a filly with insane custom of program each minute of his day for the next months, but some habits die hard...).
She is not the type to miss details as to the obvious concern of an interlocutor (just for the record , the only pony in the ship who seems to have a pleasant conversation with her), or the crew (which seems more annoyed than worried).
"Are we expecting any trouble?" is a fair question, but since the conversation was brought to a more "personal" level,Β  ignoring the stiffness provided by military protocol, I think the best choice among the options at the moment is "Are you nervous about something?", more informal and staff with respect to the previous .

So... I would choose "Are you nervous about something?" .

"Interesting"? You're far too kind...
For a moment I feared to be boring with my being overly wordy... if not unintentionally pedantic... Typical of me. XD
Well, whether it's a game that a story I like to observe the reasoning behind the narrative choices of an author, the background and the characters' psychology, and the study in general behind a work.
Perhaps the fact that I write has made me a bit picky, but when you spend hours and hours to create a character and then "make it live" within your story... Well, some reasoning become automatic...
In addition, the character Twilight Sparkle is already quite defined, psychologically speaking (you be able to imagine her with Spike participate in a burping contest?), then you are quite constrained in the choice of the decisions taken by her (unless she has not suffered a traumatic event in the past that made her change , then in this case...).
The character of Corporal Strike in this sense is much less constrained and we will be able to see it evolve over the course of the plot.

Oops... Long-winded again... Pardon!

I'm being honest. It's interesting. My intent is only half of this story. How people perceive and read this is very important for me to know. It helps me know whether or not I'm succeeding getting the story I want across. I need feedback like yours.

An interactive comic!
Very interesting idea!
I follow that one and have already chosen my first question!

I just have to ask one thing:

What do you mean with "neutral"? Every question will have a consequence, even when it's just a small one.

SilFoe In reply to CMC--Scootaloo [2013-10-24 23:21:44 +0000 UTC]

In the Mass Effect games, certain actions were either Paragon (good) or Renegade (not necessarily bad, but asshole-ish or severe). As far as which choices are going to be open to deviantart and anonymous and which will be tumblr account only, if its a very important choice, like a life or death choice or something that will alter the course of the story dramatically, it'll be tumblr only.

CMC--Scootaloo In reply to SilFoe [2013-10-25 20:48:52 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

So, do you also plan to use this Paragon/Renegade principle at some point in the comic?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

SilFoe In reply to CMC--Scootaloo [2013-10-25 21:54:10 +0000 UTC]

I intend to, though it's hard to imagine Twilight being too Renegade. There will be another character later to make choices for that could easily be more Renegade.

CMC--Scootaloo In reply to SilFoe [2013-10-28 00:37:16 +0000 UTC]

Maybe you could portray her as still a bit nerdy as a princess.
I'm sure she is, and we all know how she get's Renegade, when she's afraid of missing a deadline or something.

SilFoe In reply to CMC--Scootaloo [2013-10-28 01:30:40 +0000 UTC]

Of course! I know she doesn't seem much like herself right now; perhaps a bit too Celestia-like. She just hasn't had that much time to show her normal personality. Dealing with a nervous pegasus takes a gentle touch. Think of it as the evolution of how she first interacted with Fluttershy.
