#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).

#ScribesAndMakers – 4th Sept. Reverse of last month's question: if e-books stopped being produced, how much would you miss them?

A bunch. 90% of what I read is ebooks. I'm trying to downsize my physical lib. too. So nice to have my complete library on one device.

Anyone in the Seattle area could probably talk me into giving them lucky boxes of yuri manga.

#Airisu has lots of lines like that that reveal her ego and bias.

#ScribesAndMakers List 7 things about your creativity

1. I am inspired by myth, legend, and other people's tales.
2. I work best with immediate reinforcement, i.e., serials.
3. I don't think commercial publishing channels are worth the time or money.
4. If it were a popular genre, I wouldn't write it.
5. I am not an artist; I buy my illustrations and, at the same time, support a human artist.
6. #Haiga #俳画 scratches three creative itches: poetry, photography, layout.
7. Mysticism and animism are deeply embedded in my writing along with romantic lesbian love and found family.

#NMSAM #NMPrompts

#WritersCoffeeClub September 1: What are your writing goals for this month?

• The usual.
• I have no incomplete miniseries at the moment.
• Maybe start the Witch Hat miniseries I been promising.
• "The Time Machine" flash.
• Read "The Accidental Time Traveler vol. 1 @juliebihn @QuasiTemporal and see if there is any "food" for tripping.
• Check out "A Study in Starlight." @JonSparks .

#WordWeavers 2026.08.31 — What's one thing you hope readers remember long after they finish your story?

That they enjoyed their read and loved the women.

(And the climax kiss)

#NMWW #NMPrompts

#WritersCoffeeClub – 31st Aug. How did this month go for you, writing-wise?

Slow, but I miraculously kept up. That was partly by writing shorter EPs than usual and penning a number of short flash side stories to pad out my non-Fedi release schedule.

Right now I am catching up on beta editing for my partners and myself.

#ScribesAndMakers »31 Choose an adverb to sum up how your month went.

PAINFUL

#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.

Tell us three things you would like to know about you as a person, not a writer & two about yourself as a writer.

#NMSAM #NMPrompts

#WordWeavers 30. If you could interview one of your characters over coffee, what would be the first question you asked?

Why would I ask them anything? I know more about them than they do themself and if I don't know, I can just create the answer.

#PennedPossibilities 1113: Are you a planner down to the little details, a complete pantser, or somewhere in-between?

Inbetween
Characters: 80% Plan
Ending: Planned
Plot and subplots: 25% planned
World build: 10% planned

#ScribesAndMakers – 29th Aug. At age 11what did you want to be?

A woman - oh, that's not what you meant.

mycologist

No interest now.

#Wss366 #Mule #ScribesAndMakers »27 Tell a story, real or fictional, about an object on your desk/work area.

Among the many things I have collected, one has been silent movie paper memorabilia. Chief among these are Ross Verlag postcards. For many years, their logo featured a little horse or #mule. One day, while walking, I saw a small white ceramic horse on a stone wall that looked just like its logo. At 3/4 of an inch, it is the cutest antiquey thing imaginable. I would include a picture, but it's buried under unopened mail.

#WordWeavers 8/26: "What weather best matches your current work in progress?"

Eye of the Storm

Thing seem peaceful even idyllic at the moment.

#WordWeavers AU 25: If readers could keep one item from your story as a souvenir, what would it be?

Tomo comes home with a finely made katana given to him by a kami. It is never mentioned if it is enchanted, but it would be a top-class display piece. A national treasure quality.

What they would not want is the box they are given by the gods. No details, as that would be a high-level spoiler.

#NMWW #NMPrompts

#ScribesAndMakers 8/25—Do you have any self-imposed rules for your creative work?

1. Do something writing related everyday.
2. Publish an EP every week for my main serial.
3. This one wasn't meant to be a rule, but has become one. Don't break the publishing streak on PIXIV. Now standing at 112 straight weeks of posting.
4. Not to listen to all the preachers of how you should write.

#WritersCoffeeClub 8/24. Talk about a time you realised something about a writer through their works

Now that it is morning, I can think of one.

Lord Dunsany loves semi and full-colon sentences. It's probably where I picked it up.

I may not think about the author themselves, but I sometimes think about their style, especially if I am writing fanfic or pastiche.

#NMWCC #NMPrompts

#WritersCoffeeClub 8/24. Talk about a time you realised something about a writer through their works

I feel like a contrarian this morning. I don't think about the author when I read.

#NMPrompts #NM

#WordWeavers 24. Which chapter or scene took the longest to get right?

I am a serial writer. I don't have this luxury. One way or another it all happens in a short time frame

#nmww #NMPrompts

#PennedPossibilities 1108: Tell us something you like about your story. (Maybe something you find interesting, entertaining, or amusing.)

What I find interesting is the progression of Ace/alloromantic romance arcs in my works. It has been a slow learning curve, since I am looking for something other than friendship. Something that would appeal to an alloromantic.

#NMPP #NMPrompts

#WordWeavers 23. What's one writing "rule" you've happily ignored?

Ignored rules

1. Edit as I go.
2. Use lots of semi and full colons.
3. Got a sentence fragment? A colon will usually fix that.
4. Use "", italics, and tagging for thoughts.
5. The narrator is aware someone will read what they wrote.
6. Too many glue words.

7. Use description; screw terse text.

8. Read the prompt and answer exactly what it asks. 8-to-1 rule violations.

#NMWW #NMPrompts

#FediCoven 2026 Q4: How do you identify? (Witch, druid, pagan, shaman, medium, 'all of the above'?)

Animistic Buddhist

I trained for four years under a Sammish Doctoring Person, but am also a Buddhist.

#NMFC #NMPrompts

#WordWeavers 22. Which character would make the worst roommate?

#Airisu by far. Loud, rude, egotistical, demanding

#nmww #NMPrompts

#ScribesAndMakers 8/22—Fantasy stories are frequently inspired by medieval societies. Why do you think people are fascinated by that time period?

Different enough to dress up. Frankly, though, the "noble" aristocrat makes me want to puke.

#PennedPossibilities 1106: SC POV: When was a time where you had to make an impossible choice.

#KonbiniIdol

“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?

#NMPP #NMPrompts

#ScribesAndMakers »21 Link to or summarize yesterday's poll and reveal the answer.

#TimeTravelingGhost

Trick you? I guess I would do that, but I didn't. Actually, I did, sort of.

Nostradamus, the prophet – Found in the basement of the British Museum.
Rasputin, also a prophet – Was considered instead of Nostradamus.
Simon Magus, false messiah – Yep, we have him. Still claiming to be the true messiah.
I considered cheating but didn’t.

The correct answer was Rasputin; he does not appear in my story.

#NMSAM #NMPrompts

#WordWeavers 20 If your story had a tagline, what would it be?

One of the taglines for #KonbiniIdol was "A love that transcended death."

#NMWW #NMPrompts

#WordWeavers 7.1 — If your MC wore tee shirts, what would be on their favorite one?

T-shirs are cool with my characters.

• Kao in a "Cute is Justice" t.

#ScribesAndMakers – 2nd Jun. Share a line from something you've read today (with credit.)

I knew myself to be on the threshold of a new order of experience—of an ecstasy. Something drew me forth with a sense of inexpressible yearning towards the being of this strange old man in the window seat, and for a moment I knew what it was to taste a mighty and wonderful sensation, and to touch the highest pinnacle of joy I have ever known.
