24	----
25	!This [[https://www.questden.org/ site]] provides examples of:
26
27	* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: '''NORTHERN SERGAL'''.
28	* AprilFoolsDay: This spawned a number of joke one-shots, most of which involving Flails Breaker, a character from Bite Quest, giving out ice cream.
29	* ArtEvolution: Some quests bear this, for example Roleplay/MudyQuest.
30	* {{Deconstruction}}: Trash Quest deconstructed what would happen if someone actually found a talking ball full of imageboard posters. It was immediately smashed and shattered by a shovel.
31	** Many quests are designed to be deconstructions of popular fantasy tropes, though some work better than others.
32	* ExtremeOmnivore: Penji, the Tozol from [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Tozol Quest]]. Being a hyperdimensional alien creature with a metabolism ten times as fast as a human will do that.
33	** Sometimes (and by sometimes, ''a lot'') [[PlayedForLaughs played for]] [[BigEater humor]].
34	* ExtremophileLifeforms: One of the recurring races is the Criai, who can only live in very cold environments.
35	* FirstPersonSmartass: A good part of quests use first-person narration, but the protagonist of ''Fiend Quest'' is a demon of ''pride''. And boy does he have a lot, to the point of sometimes belittling the readers.
36	* GameplayGuidedAmnesia: A frequent way of explaining why the posters have no idea what's going on or about the setting
37	* HearingVoices: Many quest protagonists perceive the suggestions as this, often reacting by suspecting they've gone crazy (most other protagonists simply don't perceive the suggestions consciously at all).
38	** ''Breakfast Quest'' plays with this by making it a natural trait of the protagonist's species: their brain is just wired that way. [-Detractors would say they have congenital schizophrenia.-] This carries on to their dreams, even when they dream they're someone else.
39	** The defunct ''Exquisite Bride Obsession'' started on the assumption that suggesters were the protagonist's demonic advisor, but they never picked up on this the protagonist simply ended up unaware of the voices.
40	* MachineBlood: In ''Rollback'', androids/[[BrainUploading full-body cyborgs]] like the protagonist bleed coolant, which looks bright blue.
41	* RocksFallEveryoneDies: Sometimes happens when quest authors get tired of their quest
42	** Also [[HaveANiceDeath done when]] the readers may have triggered a [[NonStandardGameOver Non-Standard Game Over]].
43	* RunningGag: Both within and across various quests, some of the more iconic being:
44	** [[Roleplay/RubyQuest Read note, hug [X] ]]
45	** [[Creator/{{Reaver}} fallingman.gif]]
46	** The "Steve shirt" being submitted whenever a [[VirtualPaperDoll costume]] needs to be suggested for a character.
47	* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Roleplay/NanQuest'' to ''Roleplay/RubyQuest''.
48	* ShoutOut: Happens between quests fairly often.
49	* StylisticSuck: Some Quests have this artstyle, most notably ''Silvermoon Clan Inheritence Wars Chronicles: My Brother I Will Defeat You'' or ''Totally Free Income Method''.
50	* VirtualPaperDoll: Quests sometimes add the suggesters to make a new outfit for the protagonists. With a RunningGag originating from ''[=PokémonQuest=]''. The first paper doll in ''Roleplay/FenQuest'' had only one submission, because it immediately seduced everyone.
