PREQUEL-or-Making A Cat Cry: The Adventure
So, PREQUEL. It's like an Elder Scrolls fanfiction, but with pictures and games included.
The story, which is pretty similar to the MSPA format (And was born on their forums, in fact) follows the adventures of a terminally unemployable khajit from Hammerfell, who has just emigrated to the Cyrodillic town of Anvil with nothing but the clothes on their back and a paralysing fear of royalty.

Here if you want the latest update, or if you want to jump in blind and flail a bit then the adventure starts
On this page, which you should really go to first since the comments are always spoilery near the end.
It's been going for
a while many years now, accepting suggestions periodically as the internet tries to guide a recovering alcoholic cat through a thoroughly unfriendly world.
So it's about a yellow cat thing, but isn't Elder Scrolls a videogame series? I didn't play Oblivion! I won't understand anything!
Never fear, imaginary strawman created for the purpose of telling real people about this comic!
The story is pretty good at telling you what's going on. Sure, you'll miss a bunch of sneaky jokes and references if you never played Oblivion, and you'll be pretty baffled if you never played Elder Scrolls at all! But the plot doesn't need you to know about any of that!
(Disclaimer: People talk about plot points of Oblivion all over the comments but Oblivion is old enough to attend secondary school so it's clearly your fault really)
In any case, as long as you can withstand wildly variable megalithic update schedules, and have a thing for fantasy, this is definitely worth a look!
Non-Spoilery Quotes:"These gay elves are racist fucks and you don't want to talk to them any more."
"Drugs."
"That's what khajit are good at!
Also working plantations, but apparently that's illegal now."
|-But then, the woman continues, she started thinking about it even harder…
She realized her whole goal was to get rid of those fish. And poison… the poison would do that. It would do a very good job! So poisoning the well couldn’t be a bad idea, could it? If anything, it started to seem as though poisoning the well would be a good idea… with some rough edges. And she started thinking, what if there are no bad ideas, only good ideas with varying degrees of roughness? She was overcome with this terrifying new worldview in which all ideas were inherently good. If that was true, then would poisoning a well really be so bad?
Maybe… maybe poisoning the well is the best idea. What do you think about it?"
The skeleton wishes it knew less about the BAD MAGIC.
"And that’s why you are going to buy a cocaine."
If, like all of us normal human beings, your eyesight fell on the last quote, you might note that it's attributed to 'Sidestory'. Who is this sidestory? Nobody knows, but there's a rumor that there are several of them, and that occasionally a
whole new one shows up out of nowhere. Truly, Kazerad (The cool guy who makes all this stuff) is a wise and true perfectly normal human.
