#5 of The Great (Nerf) War of Plaisir

Welcome! This is an afterword for 'The Great (Nerf) War of Plaisir', where I discuss a few of the behind-the-scenes details, give my thoughts and some info on how the series was created, and give some well-deserved shoutouts to those that helped the series come alive :3

If you want to know what this series is about, head back to the prologue over on the left! Otherwise, read on, and enjoy~


So now that the war is completed, I feel like now is a good time to have a good talk about it and give some info!

I don't recall where the idea came from, but I do remember it festering very quickly... which then evolved into me drawing up barricades on a map of Plaisir. And then imagining scenes and characters and...

Okay, well after I'd started looking at my nerf gun collection and assigning guns to characters, I decided that yes. Yes, this was a thing, and it had to happen. Those that know me will realise that I am rather a fan of nerf guns, for both their aesthetics and just how god damned fun they can be. Everything from nerf wars to flourishing to shooting my housemates in revenge for bad puns. Also I have about twenty five of them now... nerf guns, not housemates, that is. I have a problem. Well, I have many problems, and this is clearly one of them.

Anyway, this was an absolute delight to do. From planning it out to writing it up, I was smirking and plotting this for weeks. I forgot how much fun one could have with a villain character, too. And Firenze and his soapbox at the end... hah. I rarely go so over the top at Plaisir when it comes to silliness like this, and by god it was great.

Only issue now is trying to figure out what to do next. Oh dear. Well, I'm sure something will come up :P

Right! Now onto fun stuff about the series:

Plans for the series: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Er-BTp-ax5EWSxLTw0m8_yrA1fj5rZiOdQ_3bVMUzVo/edit?usp=sharing

Contains a few changed premises! This is also how I first start stories, planning like this. Hope you find it interesting :3

Oh, by the by, talking about assigning guns:

Ceylon: Slingfire

October: Demolisher

Chai: Havok, Hammershot

Neon: [Rayven x2](http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Rayven_CS-18(N-Strike)), Spectre_

Petier: Longstrike + 'Extras'

Quippie: Hammershot x2

Extra Finally:

I'd like to give a huge thanks to avatar?user=432243&character=0&clevel=2 October_Flixard, avatar?user=1134&character=0&clevel=2 Coldstone, avatar?user=447893&character=0&clevel=2 YuriMikoto, Lyzerof and avatar?user=39818&character=0&clevel=2 wrince for being both beta readers, proofers, general supporters to the cause and such damn awesome creators of Plaisir content. There's a reason that almost all of them had characters here, and not just because that would happen - but because in my own way, I wanted to say thank you for all they've done!

Do be sure to check out their work - all have done Plaisir stories of their own, and you should go check them out!
