What line from The Narrator do you like the most?

Ooooh hard choice. I'm very bad at remembering quotes so this is definately a bit difficult in multiple ways. I'm rather fond of I think it was along the lines of... "I can't belive you're doing this"? Mainly becayse it always makes me grin every time he says it to me. (What can I say? I was in the Stanley Parable fandom long before I knew about Slay the Princess)

But in relation to this AU, I actually have a different preference. I think it was something like "It's not about what she wants. It's about what she is." when talking about whether the Princess even wants to end the world.

Slay the Princess Ask Game

You're on a path in the woods. And at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a princess. You're here to slay her. If you don't, it will be the end of the world.

What's the Damsel Route like?

Hm, I'm going to assume you mean the actual Damsel chapter and not the Damsel route of the first chapter. Well, it depends on which path you choose, but here's some out of context Damsel. As a gift >:3

I can't really say much without giving away some of the fun, but I hope you enjoy these little morsels of the route, Anon!

Introduction

Hello hello hello! Welcome to Winding Paths, a very self-indulgent Tumblr plays STP AU sideblog I will be using specifically to post my story once it's ready and maybe ramble on about it if I get asks or just feel like it!

I made this intro explain a bit of the AU while I still am in the progress of writing it! Progress has been a biiit slow because of exams and I want to make sure every available path is already completely written out and ready to go before I stary my story!

Now, a few potential questions I want to answer now and get out of the way! Feel free to send in some more via ask box and if I get enough of the same question I'll add it to my list!

What's the story behind this AU?

Here's the link to the post I made about it on my main blog, but feel free to ignore that and discover more about the truth yourself during the gameplay! I made sure to leave hints around what happened as well as allow you more of an explanation when things get close to the end of the story.

How long is it going to take for you to finish preparations and start posting?

As of the moment this post was made, I still have 7 Chapter Three retellings and the endgame retelling to go! So... probably a while. Which is why I'm making this!

Does this include the Pristine Cut routes?

I would love to, but I have enough on my plate with this AU already without trying to consider the new Pristine Cut routes and how they would work for this AU. I am thinking of using some aspects of the story for inspiration though...

Can I get previews of some of the interactions?

I dunno, can you? >:3
