Sure do. The FMC gets nickname through her actions, which get used, both in awe and in fear.
There's a whole little cult that uses the nicknames throughout.

How about the occasional essay on writing?
Outside of writing books, essays are my jam.

This is absolutely true. I wrote about this in my little dissection of the queer identity of my "Kaldhall" books. Queer, but not to the exclusion of anyone (m/f etc.), especially given that the main plot starts with m/f.

The brutal queer metamorphosis of kaldhall
It is not a "safe space".
But we are speaking of a hall where the mountain itself sorts bodies, tests nerves, uses some, discards others, and yet ends up as one of the most mercilessly liberating places a queer reader can escape to.

What is this place?
It's a hall described in the up-coming books "The Jotun Bride" and the up-coming anthology tentatively named "The Golden Spasm".

Not because everyone survives beautifully. But because body shame has no place here. Only substance and Will remain.
For a queer reader used to forms, diagnoses, categories, laws, family gazes, and HR meetings, this is a perverse relief: Here, you are represented. Here, you are reshaped.

Act 3: “I’m not sure what is real anymore.”
