Hey, all you Kapeefers out there!
I have an idea. (Trust me, that’s very dangerous.)
So, by now there has been quite a bit of Kapeefer Literature written. Unfortunately, as I realized when I went to re-read some of it, it is very hard to find. The Legend of King Daeus actually comes up in Google, but all the rest are buried in pages of ‘Recent Topics,’ and the forum’s search bar doesn’t really help.
So, my idea was to create a sort of compendium to archive all the Kapeefer Literature for easy access and link to the original forum topics. This could be a Google Doc, a new forum topic, or a custom web page (example here.)
So, a few questions:
a) Does anyone object? Is this a good idea?
b) What would be the best way to do this?
c) Exactly how many stories are there? I know of LOKD 1&2, A Catwing Christmas, @sam-kowal ‘s Christmas story, and the KPA.

Compendium of KP Literature: kapeeferliterature.wordpress.com@supermonkey42 That’s a good idea! I think they should make a KP topic for it! Not only will they be easier to find, but it will encourage more Kapeefers to add to it! The more stories, the merrier
You can pronounce it however you want.
@supermonkey42 I really like that idea! I get so exhausted wading through the pages and pages of comments when trying to read the older installments of stories, I think a google document for each story would be very useful!
Sorry, @dekreel but I am afraid I disagree, because if we made a topic for it we would still get the miles of comments which make the stories hard to find. 🙂

@supermonkey42 😀 Stan approves of this idea
To answer:
1) No, I don’t object, and I think it’s a great idea
2) Google Docs, a webpage, and a topic are all good ideas for this. I think a new topic would be the most accessible for members of the forum. The custom webpage is also epic, but where would the link to that be kept?
3) I can’t think of any more Kapeefer stories besides the ones you mentioned; Kingdom Pen Adventure, A Catwing Christma, Legend of King Daeus, Legend of King Daeus 2, and What Stan and I Did on Christmas.

Also, Daeus has 22 turtles in his signature.@rochellaine And that brings me to my second idea: Have one topic for the story itself, and an entirely different topic for the comments!
Inspiration: I follow a different forum for a game called The Aetherlight (And no, Aethasians, I haven’t joined yet), and there are several writers who write stories about the game. They have a topic for the stories, and a separate topic for the comments
For example: This is Aislinn’s story topic:
And this is the comment topic:
( @aislinn-mollisong I hope you don’t mind using you as an example…)
Makes sense?
You can pronounce it however you want.
@sam-kowal @supermonkey42 I guess mine is called “Writerly Adventures” instead of “KP Adventure” now. “KPA” is very vague. I suppose “KPA” is its code name XD
You can pronounce it however you want.
@dekreel Makes sense. 🙂 You might have a hard time keeping the comments out of the story topic, though.
But I don’t really care whether there’s a topic or not as long as there’s a web page or google doc links.

@dekreel @rochellaine @sam-kowal Thanks for the thoughts! I will get to work….

Compendium of KP Literature: kapeeferliterature.wordpress.com@supermonkey42 I have to agree, that the stories will get swamped with other comments if they’re in a forum thread, and while that’s awesome, it’s not as organized. A Google Doc would be better, in that regard. A forum thread would still be more accessible, however. Probably we could do a thread with a Doc link in it.
Anyway, Good Luck, and thanks for this service to Keepers from all over the kingdom…:D 😀 😀

@supermonkey42 I feel like a webpage would be better, because not every writer uses Google Docs or has a Gmail account. Maybe you could create a WordPress.com one for free, give it a simple layout, and whoever wants to submit KP literature would have to through you before it got on the site. That way we could simply drop a link for the newbies, and the URL would be easier to memorize and get to.
But that’s just my take — thanks for wanting to do this! 😀

Okay, so it seems that the current consensus is to make a new webpage with all the stories, then create a thread on the forum and link to the website.
I’ll probably create some Google Docs while I’m at it, and the website can have links to those for the people who prefer them.

Compendium of KP Literature: kapeeferliterature.wordpress.com@supermonkey42 It’s so nice of you to do this!!! It’s a big project, so would you like any help?
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
@supermonkey42 😀 that sounds excellent.
*Giarstanornarak tries to melt chair*
Also, Daeus has 22 turtles in his signature.@supermonkey42 This sounds like a great idea! We also have several poems and songs, and I believe our national anthem written about Kapeefers that you may want to find and add. I know of mine, A Kapeefer Christmas, that is in the poetry section. And a website would be better, because not everyone has Google docs… me included.
