About this series
Things really peak in this second round of The Quest Factor as the competition moves to the Yelps. For unknown reasons, Smarman the Sorcerer has chosen the mountain town of Düzulspimk to host their enduring exploits. Former Chosen One Grenny Gurbit questions this - something Smarman encourages. He likes it when people know he's keeping secrets.
The continuing competition presents new challenges for our three heroes. The wizard Eeffee discovers that dealing with a bad review is even more challenging than taking out a horde of morbods. Her twin sister Selll learns that fame isn't all crap, but it can be. Their mentor Grenny struggles to escape the bad advice of the woman who taught her. She distracts herself by feuding with Mucal Slycep – a hateful goblin who's had a wholly undeserved spot of good luck.
Düzulspimk throws up intrigue of its own – whether it's an infestation of undead duck-weasels or a rampant bürgermeister with a lust for lust. Our heroes receive help in their endeavours from an unusually large dwarf and some secret-loving sky cats.
Will this help be enough to uncover the mystery of the infamous Fame Eaters? Almost certainly. That's kind of how stories work. It would be weird if things didn't come together, honestly.
'The Fame Eaters' is a satirical fantasy in the style of writers like Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, and Robert Rankin.

The evil Darkun has once more returned to shroud the multiverse in unpleasantness. His ancient foe Smarman the Sorcerer responds accordingly – namely with a big budget reboot of The Quest Factor – an adventuring competition that pits hungry/desperate adventurers against one another. On Tumultia, resurrection magic makes death no more inconvenient than a bad hangover. The adventurers of yore sought fame like rock stars – i.e. while drunk. Young upstarts like Eeffee Tsukino, however, seek glory by channelling selfies of themselves 'glitter-bombing' monsters onto Instanomicon. Eeffee's talent for generating 'buzz' makes her Smarman's first choice to fight Darkun. Less convinced is former Chosen One and current serving wench Grenny Gurbit. She's unconvinced that a quest to save the multiverse should concern itself with 'buzz'. She's also suspicious about Darkun's return given Smarman's proclivity for engineering apocalypse-grade shenanigans in his favour. Against her better instincts, Grenny signs up to coach her successor. It's that or let Eeffee fend for herself against the forces of darkness; the machinations of Smarman, and the trollishness of the intermesh. 'The Quest Factor' is a satirical fantasy in the style of writers like Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, and Robert Rankin.
