We hit 91% overnight! We're into the single digits y'all! Almost there!

And today's fun fact is about an NPC originally from the OG version of the Hexwell Student tier one-shot perk who became an actual character in season 2!

igg.me/at/anas3

Morrigan (Bea's annoying Direbeak classmate from season 2) is named after a Direbeak NPC from a Hexwell one-shot I wrote for my friends on a trip (which is one of the crowdfunding perks!). When I had to name her i thought, "You already made up the perfect evil name. Just use it again."

The reference track I gave to our composer when making the Necessary Evil theme music was the theme song from the American Version of the show Ghosts. I really love the quirky but spooky vibe. I found him because he also did the theme for "Good Morning Evildoers", a show that I really love and was listening to right after I wrote the Necessary Evil scripts.

We hit 80% yesterday so we are truly in the homestretch now! We also happen to be in the homestretch wrt putting the finishing touches on the Mazed and Confused special. Want to listen to it early? If you pledge at the Hexwell Chronomancer tier, you can!

igg.me/at/anas3

When I was first writing ANA, I made a big list of all the classis fantasy stories/tropes I wanted to ref (eg: Magic School, Wizard of Oz, Sword in the Stone) and The Chronicles of Narnia was on the list because that was one of my biggest gateways to fantasy! But I couldn't work it into season 1 so I made sure to get it into the wedding special.

It's #AudioDramaSunday and I'm blown away to announce that we leapfrogged over 75% last night. Less than a quarter to go before we fund--we're almost there y'all!

Today's fun fact is about our last special, which should get you hyped about our upcoming special, Mazed and Confused!

igg.me/at/anas3

In the wedding special, Ana's name is a double reference. First off, it's the abbreviation for the show which I thought was fun. But mainly, she's named that as a reference to Anastasia, giving a hint to her origins.

Absolutely No Adventures @noadventurespod.bsky.social · 4d

With 70% locked in, here's a fun fact about ANA's resident knight, Isadora, which also serves as a look into my writing process!

We're so close to our next big milestone (75%!) so if you like what we're doing here and have some cash to throw our way, we'd really appreciate it!

igg.me/at/anas3

I had a really solid plan for certain beats of Season 1 but I didn't plan for Isadora to have a whole wedding arc until I was writing it and then I was like, "Oh duh. What did you learn in your Shakespere class? Comedies end in weddings!" It was a great way to bring everything full circle and also give Sig a big exciting project to work on. It also meant I got to write the wedding special which is my favorite episode of the series!

We are at 65% of our goal and today's fun fact is about my favorite joke in the entirety of ANA. Help us get funded for more very long walks to hyperspecific punchlines!

igg.me/at/anas3

I don't think I've ever taken a longer walk to get to a joke than revealing the origin of Sig's name in episode 9 and it's my favorite joke in the entire series. From the concept to the title of the episode, it all came to me in one burst while I was riding the bus to work and then I shaped the entire season to get there. I don't know if I'll ever be that funny ever again.

Even though I lived in NYC for three years, I've never actually had a cronut--let alone an official one from Dominique Ansel's bakery. I have had his kouign amanns though and they're sooooo good.

I started writing ANA right after I saw Wicked for the first time and the episode Wicked Lost ia a direct response to that. Funny enough, I wrote Necessary Evl in a week right after I saw Wicked Part 1 in theaters!

"Name one indegrdient that we use here on a regular basis that's still alive when we put it in the batter/yeast" might be my favorite throwaway joke in the entire series.

And here is your fun fact for the day!

The episode "Vampire Weekend" isn't so much an homage to the band as it is an homage to one of my favorite episodes of Beyond Belief from Thriling Adventure Hour. I basically wrote the plot to back into the title!
