History FanFic / StrikeWitchesQuest

An ongoing quest/group-game on /tg/, started by 'planefag', set in a universe that blends Anime/StrikeWitches with the 'real' UsefulNotes/WorldWar2 and an [[AlienInvasion invasion from Mars]] (which replaces the Neuroi with the squid-like Mars People from ''VideoGame/MetalSlug'').

* ScheduleSlip: When it initially started, there was a new SWQ almost every day. However, due to various real world commitments, there's now barely one thread every few months. WordOfGod assured us that things will pick up again in Summer 2013; the quest finally resumed in September 2014. Much to the delight of the fans.

* EverythingsBetterWithCows: [[spoiler: Hellcow]] steals every scene it's in.

* NotSoDifferent: You are debriefed by Patton, with several court-martials hanging over your head:

* RefugeInAudacity: When the prototype Widow gets shot up on a flight back to Castle Barin, Patton threatens to have you court-martialled for smuggling ridiculous quantities of alcoholic beverages onto an Allied airbase aboard an aircraft belonging to the Army Air Corps. You counter by claiming the added weight gave you a tactical advantage, [[CrazyAwesome advocating the use of beer as an aerial fire-suppression system]], and threatening to repeat his outrageous story to any reporter who'll listen. Patton has an MP write you a two-dollar fine for being out of uniform. You ''eat'' the ticket.

* TheUnFavourite: Planefag specifically chose the Widow because he thought it was underrated.

* Troll: Young, Ian and as of late, Minna among others.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: The Martian attack on Earth opened with ([[NotAsPlanned an attempt at]]) simultaneous strikes at major cities all across the globe as well as major battlefields in order to kill several birds with one stone. In theory this would be a good strategy. In practice, the Martians killed off Hitler and Mussolini, gave [[OnlySaneMan Admiral Yamamoto]] an opening to oust the IJA from power over UsefulNotes/ImperialJapan, turned The Battle of Pearl Harbor into a BackToBackBadasses moment between the Japanese and American navies, and ultimately opened the way for the Axis and Allied powers to become FireForgedFriends.

* BiTheWay: Eila appears to be this, being in her canon relationship with Sanya but also perving on you several times.

* AcePilot: Most of the cast, including the Widow's crew after their [[MomentOfAwesome first major dogfight]].

* CoolPlane: Name an Allied fighter that made its bones in WW2, and it's probably appeared. Of course, "The Widow" is the headliner.

* FireForgedFriends: The Allies and the former Axis powers are this by way of the Martian EnemyMine. Made significantly less problematic because the Nazis, Fascists, and ImperialJapan have been removed from power in their respective territories. Stalin's status is unconfirmed but suspected to be NotQuiteDead.
