The 100th Quest - how brilliant is that! Definitely to be celebrated. But maybe it's a sign. 100 is a significant number right? Think of how celebrated all centenarians are. They get telegrams from the queen. (Oops it's the king now.) They call it your Golden years. Yes, the quests could continue for 100 years. It just goes to show what a bit of fun every couple of weeks can do for you. Maybe another 100 quests will lead you to an even longer life. Hundreds of quests showering down like Golden laughs. More power to your writing Mr Golden.
Some of my author friends published adventure-choosing print books with numbered paragraphs. You could mush up ten or twenty per volume. A series of paperback of ten quests per book! It's pretty easy to do, I work with authors who go down the indie route all the time (as opposed to trade publishing - pros and cons both ways). The key thing is that you have the content already, it is just repackaging for a different market.
This was my first quest, and this is my first comment on Substack. I’m a huge fan of multipath adventures and re-read the adventure several times trying to figure out your story pattern.
Congrats on making it into the top 20 at IF Comp! And on the Edge write-up! And on making it to 100 adventures! Just congrats all around!
This adventure tapped into one of my greatest fears: ruining the future through absent-mindedly going about my day. But I did support the arts by popularizing an important TV show, so that's something!
First I ruined basically everything, then I improved basically everything. Very mixed legacy.
My favorite adventure snack is the one I helped make: Smile! You're on Alien Deathmatch TV. But the business genius one was also great and I'll replay the Christmas one soon when it becomes even more seasonally appropriate.
I'm currently working on the very truly absolutely final level of Mario Wonder and it is extremely difficult. We've gotten pretty far into it at least, but we need to start over due to taking a break. Video games are always a good way to celebrate.

Congrats on reaching 100 quests.
I'm not sure if I got a good or bad ending, but I do not regret choosing more sleep. =P
