  7. #WordWeavers 2026.05.13 — What role does non-romantic love play in your story?

    Like yesterday's response, today's is a high level meta answer; specifics would delve into plot. Whilst these responses sound all very planned out, plotted, Machiavellian even, I'm a simple pantser. Character discovery drives the story. Here I'm analyzing the total affect on my stories.

    Non-romantic love? An interesting distinction: Basically a love were sex has nothing to do with it? My Reluctance Series stories go out of their way to remove sex as an important factor in love—unless the characters choose otherwise!— meaning all love in the story is essentially the non-romantic sort. Sex? Well humans need to eat and sleep, too? Right? Most characters are very fond of, or go out of the way to be with, others. Many feel connected. They enjoy levels of intimacy with many people, this in a way that our society works hard to make us (i.e., the reader) feel uncomfortably close, or to cause us to worry about upsetting our primary partner, or to worry that friends, family, or co-workers might call us out, embarrass us or ostracize. We live in an hierarchal society strictly structured to provide power to a select few, with set gender roles that control women's freedom and restrict men and force them to act cruel; reluctance series stories poke furiously (though subtly) at that to make the reader reluctantly think, to make them change their context such that they can view the world and themselves differently. The role that non-romantic love plays is to propose that friendship should always be primary in any relationship and, if friendship is neglected, such relationships are destined to fail or, at best, be transient.

  18. #PennedPossibilities 1012 — How do your characters feel about seeing doctors or anyone in the medical field?

    The best doctors are daemons as Bolt, my day angel MC, understands it. As far as she knows (and she'll learn she's wrong) all doctors are part of Health Services, something everyone gets for free along with basic income, and is therefore available to her only if she shows her government ID. She's a criminal, so she's intentionally lost that ID; the last thing she needs is for the mob to use it to trace her to her family (or for the constabulary to link her to a teenage cough-cough "indiscretion"). Her first experience with the medical field in the novel is when she takes her boyfriend Molt, who is a very cute university student, to Health Services to mend a broken arm. Not only does a daemon nurse use a miracle to relieve the guy's pain, but a daemon doctor later "reaches" into Molt's body to "convince" his fracture to heal "miraculously" quickly. Bolt later learns from the devil-girl that the exceptionally talented doctor they had to wait half the night for is Rainy Day's personal physician.

    It's interesting how the main series antagonist, Rainy Days, keeps up showing up peripherally in the story!

    Crit Partner: What's the body count?

    Me: Like, overall? I dunno.

    CP: In the four chapters you've written?

    Me: Oh, maybe 30 or so? It's not a high body count yet. It's cozy!

    CP: I'm getting you a dictionary for your birthday.

  28. #WordWeavers 2026.05.11 — Antagonist POV: Tell us about a fun time you recently had.

    While flying, I found a new praetorian of mine and a day angel woman I'd been told about by an advisor having fun in the sky, flying tandem. She went by the name Lightning Bolt and was the one who taught Arrow Flies True precision flying that allowed him to become part of my guard—for selfish reasons I could see! Very athletic, those two.They were having so much fun. I soared in to join them.

    Most people either fright, flee, or fawn when I show up, this time flying circles around her, them, but she took the challenge and flew flack, stunt for stunt I tried, countering me sparrow versus hawk driving her away from the man, despite my being faster and more agile, able to augment my acceleration [by magic]. We ended with us on either side of my handsome new praetorian wingtip to wingtip, having gotten me to sweat at least.

    The fellow looked adorably confused and worried, but kept formation despite being fought over.

    It wasn't anger Bolt showed me. It was more like annoyance, having her needed playtime interrupted perhaps after a previous bad day? I knew that feeling. It was a fragility masked with a hard shell. A good talent.

    I liked her. I hadn't had such fun in awhile. I mentally noted to make her a student. Lots of potential to match my ability given the right training.

    Author note: As an absolute ruler, you don't want to interest Rainy Days. She seems pleasant and normal, but her students quickly find she's an unrelenting and demanding teacher.

  30. #WordWeavers 2026.05.11 — Antagonist POV: Tell us about a fun time you recently had.

    While flying, I found a new praetorian of mine and a day angel woman I'd been told about by an advisor having fun in the sky, flying tandem. She went by the name Lightning Bolt and was the one who taught Arrow Flies True precision flying that allowed him to become part of my guard—for selfish reasons I could see! Very athletic, those two.They were having so much fun. I soared in to join them.

    Most people either fright, flee, or fawn when I show up, this time flying circles around her, them, but she took the challenge and flew flack, stunt for stunt I tried, countering me sparrow versus hawk driving her away from the man, despite my being faster and more agile, able to augment my acceleration [by magic]. We ended with us on either side of my handsome new praetorian wingtip to wingtip, having gotten me to sweat at least.

    The fellow looked adorably confused and worried, but kept formation despite being fought over.

    It wasn't anger Bolt showed me. It was more like annoyance, having her needed playtime interrupted perhaps after a previous bad day? I knew that feeling. It was a fragility masked with a hard shell. A good talent.

    I liked her. I hadn't had such fun in awhile. I mentally noted to make her a student. Lots of potential to match my ability given the right training.

    Author note: As an absolute ruler, you don't want to interest Rainy Days. She seems pleasant and normal, but her students quickly find she's an unrelenting and demanding teacher.
