Been listening to Mozart's "The Magic Flute" being performed by the MET in English. Two and a half years ago I published my version of "The Magic Flute" on BCTS. I called it "Cynthia and the Queen of the Knight". I imagine there are many out there who haven't read it. I thought it was very well received for an SRU based story. It is many stories wound into a main theme of young lovers solving a puzzle based on an old interactive computer game, "The Colossal Cave Adventure Game" also known by other similar titles. I think it is a lot of fun, and very happy. It does poke fun at a notorious NW Arkansas family. That shouldn't be too difficult for the readers to figure out. It was a lot of fun to write.

I remember that story. It was "The Magic Flute" meets "Colossal Cave" (aka "Adventure" and "ADVENT"). I didn't know anything about a notorious NW Arkansas family, though.

I think I was reminded of it from time to time, seeing an occasional chapter under the tag "More Like This".

I will definitely have to go back and read that!

Thanks too for the good vibes I get thinking about Willie Crowther's Adventure, He pretty much invented several genres with that game, text-based adventure games, interactive fiction, computer role-playing games. He was a fellow caver and climber who was active in the exploration of Mammoth Cave in Kentucky and used it as inspiration for the game.

I was having a hard time finding this and wondered if you could post a link to the story, series or whatever... Thank you very much.
