Description

This story began as joke to troll some dude on reddit, but I fell in love with the premise and kind of went crazy writing without any direction or planning. Luckily for me, I spent a couple months convinced I was dying and stepped away from the project. I'm not dying by the way, at least not any more than in the traditional sense. But during that period of inner turmoil, I was able to step back and realize I wasn't too thrilled with the direction this was going. So I have relaunched this project under the name Duck Around and Find Out.

Some elements will be the same, and some early chapters may be pretty close to what was in the original draft, but I wanted to get into the action with a bit more haste. That being said, I'm going to leave this up here for now so that you can see how this whole project started. So read it if you want to. Or don't. I don't really care. I'm just happy I don't actually have a terminal cancer.

This here is a story about the most glorious of all ducks(that's what the AI says at least, so don't quote me on that fact), who may be ready to take on the entire universe as the champion of earth.
Normally, I would leave that as the only thing that needed to be said. Funny duck, guys. hahaha, look guys, it's a funny duck, hahaha. But... I feel the need to say a little more with this one.
The writing. It surprised me to a higher degree. It is well-written. There are no obvious flaws in the grammar. And the style is better than just the above-average stuff on this site. Like, it feels like one of the quick side stories that an already-established author would write for funsies, just so that they could get the concept out of their heads.
The concept is a joke. A stupid chick makes mistake, putting in a common duck as the earth champion instead of the chosen generic MC name. It's been done before, but that's no reason to hate on this story. God, I love this. It's already in my favourites, right beside the attendees. Sure, there might not yet have been put out too many chapters, but I'm sure each of them will be as high quality as those before.
5/5 from me. This caused me to have a better day.
