#WordWeavers 14 Sept: Your MC is offered exactly what they've always wanted--but accepting it will cost them something they love. What do they choose?
This explicitly happens twice in #KonbiniIdol. Ume refuses once and accept the second time. Context matters.
She bares the scars for both choices.

#PennedPossibilities 1118: Name a catastrophic event that occurred in your world / universe.
#TimeTravelingGhost: We have the Cretaceous–Paleogene Extinction Event. Seems more relevant when you were there.
#KonbiniIdol: There is the "Empress's Gift." Catastrophic enough that I even CW the portion where it is discussed in detail (Spoiler).

#WordWeavers 8/25: If readers could keep one item from your story as a souvenir, what would it be?
Good point by @floofpaldi. Instead of a katana, a better souvenir would be a signed copy of Ume's novel. #KonbiniIdol.

#Wss366 Pet #TimeTravelAuthors 08/23. Pets or animals in your story
Pets
I have always felt #pets are more work than they are worth. You need to keep track of them and justify their being in the story. That being said, Bijou, before the rabbits killed her, had a lab rat she was fond of. It’s mentioned a few times. The longest passage is in Time Argonaut: .
Patroclus chirped happily upon seeing me, hoping for snacks. As the first animal to time-travel, I pampered him. Having risked his life for me, he deserved hazard pay. No matter how I felt, I wouldn’t ignore him.
After feeding my time-argonaut his favorite treats and stroking his pink-dyed fur...
Animals
I have a great deal of fun with animals by placing characters within their minds so their perceptions blend with the animal. This takes place in “The Crow and the Witch” when #Airisu becomes a crow. There is also a long section in #KonbiniIdol where Ume witnesses several scenes through the eyes of a frog. For example:
A long, thin tongue flickered into view — mine, but not mine — and vanished. My mind recoiled. — The Empress’s frog?
Was I…
Mikawa’s whispered cry of “Sssheee sss…” seized my attention before I could grasp the last thought. Through the fog came one thought: Mikawa. Then came a sharp click — my receding human mind supplied a label, “the Empress’s fan” — and a stab of instinctual fear. “Bad things. Danger. Mistress angry.” Fragmented feelings tumbled in my head, pushing out rational thought.
“…minnneee…” The sound tapered off and vanished, like a dragonfly swooping past too fast to catch. Part of my mind recognized these sounds as the last I’d heard from Mikawa, as Takiyasha banished her. But it was the fan’s click that dominated my thoughts, signaling danger.

#PennedPossibilities 1106: SC POV: When was a time where you had to make an impossible choice.
“Honey stains thy lips. I am not known for generosity. But for my sister’s sake, I will make an exception and trade the woman for the man.” His porcelain hand waved with cold indifference toward Tomo.
I should accept the deal. It was the only rational path to save Shishi. I shut out Kan-chan’s pleading — “Please, Ume” — calling on me to refuse the trade. I braced myself.
Like Judas or Mitsuhide at Honnō-ji, I would betray her.
But which betrayal was worse — turning my back on one love, or the other?

#PennedPossibilities 1104: Where has your MC lived the longest? What kept them there for so long?
The MCs in #KonbiniIdol and #Airisu were born and raised in the Hanno area of Japan. Two of them went to the States- Seattle/San Francisco for part of their lives but returned to the area where they were born.

#WordWeavers 19/8: Which character has changed the most since your first draft?
Both Ume and Shishi in #KonbiniIdol changed considerably in the early stages of that novel.
The original Ume was a player, but that got dropped when I decided not to write another R18 novel.
Shishi made it to the page in her full toxic glory in the first draft of the opening chapters. When I reread it, I realized she came off as vile.
So I dialed her back. She was still toxic but most of the profanity disappeared. She still said awful things when stressed and drunk but it wasn't her habitual mode of speach. A reader would give her a chance instead of loathing.

#WritersCoffeeClub AU 7: What subcultures exist in your work?
In #KonbiniIdol, there are a variety of cults. The subculture that appears most often in my Kakuriyo novels is an organization that helps paranormals adjust and survive. We only see a tiny bit of it with a temple that educates paranormals and deals with difficult situations arising from the interference of entities from Kakuriyo.
Again in #TimeTravelingGhost, we have various cults, including the Templars.
#Airisu touches on witches in modern society. There will be more of them upcoming.
