Murphy’s Quest Postmorterm

Thanks so much for writing this series! I only just found it and had to finish it. Rationalist fiction is so addictive.

This summary has inspired me to give light novels a go after having failed at NaNoWriMo a couple of times, and the one time I did finish the end result was .. not good. I have also bought Impro, but will do my best not to get stuck in Anxious Underconfidence and Status Regulation. I finished Inadequate Equilibria a few days ago and also found it to be eye-opening.

Thanks for all of your posts - many of the most interesting sounding ones on LW2.0 that I pick out from my RSS reader are yours.

Yea, I only recently found the fiction subreddit r/rational on reddit and my week is probably gone. I find it kind of shocking that the standard progression for fiction writers is something like: keep writing full-length novels until you git gud. Light novels seem to be a good transition stage for training (at least). It's still an open question for me whether light novels are better full stop. Thanks for the support!

There are a few good CFAR videos on youtube about TAPs as well, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ5mEnm02GA
