Yes?! If anyone dedicates any of their personal time to my creations, whether it be fanfiction, fanart, or whatever, I'll be super happy.

Of course! It'd be an awesome form of flattery. There would be certain ships I wouldn't read, of course, but other than that, it's quite an honour to have fanfiction written based on something you wrote (or oh my gosh, fanart...) The biggest compliment by far would be cosplay, of course. That would be insane.

I probably would unless I was planning to write a sequel.

Build the basics first, then add all the fun bits.

Please check out my games on my itch.io page!

Knowing that fanfiction of something I wrote existed would make my day! I'd probably spend a fair amount of time trying to figure out how to slip that fact into conversation with everyone I talk to.

But deep down I know I'm probably not going to like the actual contents of the fanfiction. It may be poorly written, immensely inaccurate, or possibly even offend my sensibilities. For that reason, I'd probably read a little, just to get a feel for it.

The #renpy IRC channel is a great place to chat with other devs. Due to the nature of IRC and timezone differences, people probably won't reply right away.

If you'd like to view or use any code from my VN PM me. All code is freely available without restriction, but also without warranty or (much) support.

If it were a completed project, yes! I would love to read what others had to add, and appreciate that someone took interest in something that mattered to me.

Like others have said, if it was a completed project that I had no intention of going back to for a sequel, sure why not? But if I even think there might be a remote chance of going back, no, I don't think it would be the best of ideas. Still, it'd be pretty damn flattering to have some one like something I created enough to write fanfiction about it.

I would, since curiousity always gets the better of me. But I'm not into fanfiction myself, so I might take a while reading it. It would be awkward though if the fanfic is better than my original project, lol.

Awkward and kind of sad too if the fanfiction was better, but good if the reader decides to check out the original because of the fanfiction? Or will people not read fanfic unless they've already read the original?

I'd die from amazement and happiness! Whether it's good or bad, I don't care, I'd totally read it. <3

It's a huge compliment when someone decides to make fanart or fanfiction out of your work! Personally, it's never happened to me, but I've never stuck to anything long enough to have many fans. >_> /sigh/
