    Have You Been Attacked by Your Readers for Creative Decisions?

    A bit. Mostly complaining about the presence of genderless characters. Definitely get more irritating jackasses than I can shake a stick at any time I go to writing forums or discords, but those people just like complaining they don't actually read any of the story, so they dont really qualify...

    What do you think about a mother protagonist in the fantasy world?

    Relationships that a character has little volition over tend to be intrinsically less interesting. If you were in a society where unconditional love wasn't expected from parents, it might work better, but in the situation where it is expected, it just kinda makes it a foregone conclusion. Of...

    What makes your fiction worth reading at least once in a lifetime?

    Because I can truthfully say I've never heard of a story which has the type of character arcs I have, end in the way mine does! And because Sibling! Wow sibling! And I guess because it's heavily based on a worldview and set of attitudes which I can safely say are far apart from most people...

    Here is a fun one

    Cloaks, tailcoats, and tunics! especially the tunics with the split at front and back. Sashes, too. I like fingerless gloves too but I think those are still in use. Tabi also, I know they're still worn in japan sometimes but they don't seem to make them for feet as large as mine.

    Gimme a fun fact about your main character/s that isn't all that important to the story but interesting to know!

    I'll give one for each story. Immaculate: Antares is left handed, Alunya was right handed, but since he learned to do so many things by watching how his brother did it he became ambidextrous from imitation. Birthright: Seren Wildflower's middle name is a direct result of me finding the song...

    Who is the character you like the most and who is the character you hate the most in your novel?

    Oh Celestia how would I pick... I adore a lot of my characters honestly. More than I think most writers do, based on what I hear. Alunya would be the most obvious pick but, I think I'm going to have to say Saoirse Starshot? I don't know if I'd say they're my best character but, they're fun to...

    Writing the Dark Chapters

    I generally have the policy that I can't hold back with what I'm writing, although within certain limitations that make it much less explicit than most other peoples work. I won't write anything which would make it impossible for the main characters to end a story in a better place than they...

    Should I invest effort in editting an older story?

    Oh boy well thats a lot of opinions... Well, I've met a lot of those types who got obsessively perfectionistic and I can safely say I am not one of them. Based on peoples advice I usually was really hesitant to edit when I started but over time I found that restarting stories and rewriting was a...

    Should I invest effort in editting an older story?

    Ha... I am far slower. One chapter per two weeks, usually between 2 and 4 thousand words. And thats between all of my stories. Editting I do much faster, I editted all of Empire of Mercy in only a week. So thats not too bad. Still, I'm unsure if I should on a principal or not.

    Should I invest effort in editting an older story?

    So for context. Immaculate was my first story that really, like, actually got to the point. I've had earlier stories before it and those were perfectly solid in my opinion but, none of them quite reached the apex of the plot. Now, I've been posting immaculate for quite some time now, bit by bit...

    Offering Critiques [Open for submissions, adult works welcome]

    Well, you seem very polite and reasonable with your critiques, which is something I really appreciate... I feel like a lot of critics just kind of use it as an excuse to go off on the writer. I'll assume you're probably not into pony stories so I will share my sole original work (as of right...

    Gods of Light

    I honestly feel like making 'light' evil is kinda played out at this point, its not particularly subversive at this point. If you want light to be evil though, I'dd focus on how it can be interpreted as a force of violence. Burning, scourging, radiant and powerful. I tend to prefer light being...

    Single POV or multiple POV?

    I almost never write a story with one strict protagonist. That's in large part because I friggin' love siblings and almost always have multiple siblings at the very least sharing protagonist status, so I usually write in third person limited, with the 'limited' being not to a single character...

    What motivates you to write?

    My characters need to see the light of day. They're all I have, so it falls to me to write them. Nobody else is going to write my stories.

    Opinions about dressing and style

    How we represent ourselves to the world around says a lot about ourselves. It seems silly to expect not to get judged for it, we have to form judgements based on something. Every single action we take and every thing we do affects the world around us, there's no such thing as an action that is...
