#PennedPossibilities 979 — Tell us about something that disgusts your SC.
Emily from #TimeTravelingGhost is totally disgusted with Nazes and fascism. The OG kind. (She would be with the modern kind, too, if she were exposed to them.)
Less seriously with eating oysters.

#PennedPossibilities 977 Have your characters ever travelled outside their country of birth? If so, when and where did they go, and why did they go there?
Jenny: born in Australia, she has travelled to Japan and Italy on holidays. She has also been to Antarctica, to fight a supervillain who had […]
#PennedPossibilities 975.1 — Author/Artist POV: Sometimes we end up In the Zone. Do you work until you drop? Or to a stopping point? Can you do anything but sleep afterwards?
Neither, I don't have the focus for either. Zone just means when I refocus, I can pick things up where I left off […]
#PennedPossibilities 975.1 — Author/Artist POV: Sometimes we end up In the Zone. Do you work until you drop? Or to a stopping point? Can you do anything but sleep afterwards?
I'm a computer nerd, so flow state is important to me when I'm doing anything non-routine, meaning writing. So I do get […]
#PennedPossibilities 975 SC What did you get in the most trouble for when young.
#KonbiniIdol Tomo: Being loud when my mother or one of her boyfriends had a hangover.
#NMMP #NMPrompts
#PennedPossibilities 974 — Does your MC become jealous? If so, to what degree? How does their jealousy manifest?
None of MCs have had this problem, and secondary characters may show minor signs of it. The exception is Emily in #TimeTravelingGhost. It is not shown as romantic; in fact, the […]

Do you ever have to deal with “trolls” where your writing is concerned?
No, even though I make very clear that my politics are progressive and antifascist.
I guess I am not well-known enough yet.

I checked, and the current count is at 105,482.
#PennedPossibilities 972: Do you ever have to deal with “trolls” where your writing is concerned?
I'm writing comic fantasy. And where would that be without trolls? Living under a bridge, probably.
#PennedPossibilities 972 — Do you ever have to deal with “trolls” where your writing is concerned? Do you receive hate?
Occationally. It's usually scammers, not trolls, that intrude on my writing space.
#PennedPossibilities 971 — Where does your SC feel the safest? Is there a particular person or object that helps them feel safe?
In #KonbiniIdol, both Kan-chan and Tomo feel safest in the kitchen, while Shishi wants to be with Ume.
I don't have a sense for that in my WIP for that yet. Since […]
#PennedPossibilities 970 — MC POV: Have you ever experienced something that couldn’t be logically explained?
All my characters laugh hysterically.
#NMPP #NMPrompts
#PennedPossibilities 969 — Do your stories have happy endings?
They are HEA endings with a hook for possible sequels. (None have been written) until #KonbiniIdol. KI is also HEA, but there are some very dark elements to it; among other things, the characters all bear trauma scars. Not going to […]
#PennedPossibilities 672: What’s the current word count for your WIP?
39,880
#PennedPossibilities 976.1: Pick a character. How do they, or how would they, react to sleep deprivation?
#KonbiniIdol: Ume didn't use to have this problem, but since I put her through the wringer, she has terrible nightmares.
She is cranky, smokes too much, and wants to take a nap on Shishi's […]

A woman wearing a pink coat is bandaging the hands of a woman with red hair. They are in a dark forest.
#PennedPossibilities 966 — SC POV: When was the last time you got lost?
Kan-chan #KonbiniIdol #MyGirlFriend: I don't know if it was the last time, but the one I remember is when we tracked Kao in Aokigahara. It's a nightmare forest you probably know by the […]

#PennedPossibilities 965 — What is your MC’s reaction when someone close to them is sick or injured?
Tomo #KonbiniIdol: "It depends on who it is. Ume will take care of the person, unless it's Shishi, when she freaks out, and that is all she can think about. Isn't love wonderful?"
#NMPP #NMPrompts
#PennedPossibilities 964 — MC POV: What area of your life do you tend to enjoy in excess instead of moderation?
#Airisu struts back and forth. "I do nothing in excess!"
#NMPP #NMPrompts
#PennedPossibilities 963 — If you use a pen name or certain username on a writing site, what is its significance and how did you arrive at using it?
It was the name of a Crow Shaman I played in Shadow Run. It's a pun on the Poe quote "Nevermore."
#PennedPossibilities 962 — If there was ever going to be a film or a series based upon your WIP, what do you imagine the soundtrack would be like? What genre?
Looking at my answers to these musical questions, I realize that, except for a few high points, I would be better off leaving such […]

#PennedPossibilities 961 — SC POV: Have you ever spoken up when you saw that something going on was wrong? Were you scared? What was the end result?
#KonbiniIdol Kan-chan: It's my job in the family. Usually, they listen.
#NMPP #NMPrompts
#PennedPossibilities 960 — Describe the longest romantic relationship your MC has ever had. (If they’ve had one.)
Ume of #KonbiniIdol met Tomo at an idol show and drunkenly invited him home. That was four or five years ago. A platonic relationship built on love, caring, and friendship.
#NMPP […]
#PennedPossibilities 959 — MC POV: Complete this thought: “I wish I had paid more attention when…”
#KonbiniIdol: ...My grandfather told me about the family kami. I didn't believe him until she showed up, and it turns out there was a bunch of stuff I didn't know about when I contracted with her […]
#PennedPossibilities 958 — What’s your favorite under-appreciated novel?
A Journal of the Plague Year:
Anyone who wants to play politics with vax and disease should read it. (If they can read above a 3rd-grade level.)
#PennedPossibilities 957 — Does your MC have or wear a signature color?
Black.
Airisu is a crow.
