Take care of yourself.
Take care of your loved ones.
Take care of the vulnerable and in need.
We need to work together to get us all to the other side of this because there will be an other side of this someday.

Queer people have the right to headcanon any and all characters as queer bc we’ve been denied the ability to see ourselves in mainstream culture.
If that annoys you, a straight “ally,” start blocking all the queer folks in sight.
Problem solved!

In a terrible #Atlantis story I wrote as a kid, the MC was named Jordan & she had a friend named Miranda, lol. When I reworked the story I used their names as the basis for Mireia & Jasana.
Kena... Tbh I don't remember. I think I just liked the sound of it 😅

My names come from all over the place. My fantasy names often arise from just playing with sounds and letters. A few particular ones tho:
Felcrown:
Dignity Dunandrien - in RPGs, I like my tieflings to have virtue names and such. For example, Dignity's parents are Hope and Temerity.

The Lord Hierophant is a saint in Spiritism, widely regarded as the one who saved Aloutia from the clutches of greed.
He was also a sadist and torturer who slaughtered thousands without giving them a fair trial, often times in cruel and barbaric public executions.

Two truths and lie is fun:
- Have peer-reviewed academic pubs in 2 unrelated fields (philosophy & radiology)
- With college friends won a singing competition dressed as the cast of Gilligan's Island (I was Ginger)
- Was on a jury that convicted a murderer on a many years old cold case

Corporate-style icebreaker jump scare 😱: tell us a fun fact about you, the author!
This is meant to be fun, so if "fun facts" make you cringe, feel free to adjust this prompt. You could do two truths and a lie, or just give us a non-personal fun fact that brings you joy.

Reminds me of the best place I ever worked where there was a standing policy that if you were still in the office at 5:01 pm on Friday, you had to be prepared to engage in the weekly Nerf gun battle.

I, a 44yo bloke, have just scored two nearly new nerf blasters at a garage sale for a total of $4AUD.
So if anyone ever tells you that you need to grow up, hit 'em with a nerf dart. Nobody needs that kind of negativity in their lives.

There's a whole generation that learned irony before sincerity and now they're trapped. Can't be earnest without a layer of self-deprecation. Can't be enthusiastic without signaling awareness of how cringe enthusiasm is.
The price of never being vulnerable is never connecting.

I will never use AI for my covers, editing, translation, or anything else. It is not only useless to me as an author, it is actively hostile and harms every skill related to book production.
If you're an author against AI used to generate writing, you better back everyone else in the chain too.

For Felcrown, if Digs had a gun she could take down the villain a little quicker & easier, but considering she gets the equivalent of a bomb, it might not make much difference.
For the shipwrecked familiars... well, the novella would become flash fiction...
Muzzle flash fiction! 😎 Yeeeaaahhh!

I need to branch out (and have some in the works) but my natural inclination and early stories are very much: “Sweet & kind people meeting and being sweet & kind to each other.” 😅
Tho I’m having fun with “Nice Leader” & “Their Feral Friend Who Will Gut You If You Disappoint Nice Leader.”

What archetypes do you love to write encountering each other?
If you can't really match archetypes to your characters, you can share a character combination with neat chemistry! 🧪

Absolutely! I think half of the traits my characters have arise surprisingly in the writing process.
My favorite example is Wynne whose entire character surprised me. She was literally “they can’t all be only children so add a sibling” + “how can I make some of this internal monologue external?”
