#WordWeavers 13. To your MC's LI, what's the most admirable thing about the MC?
Emily: Bijou is clever and cute. But I think more importantly, she has never questioned my being an independent person. I don't know if that's because of the time period she comes from. Maybe women aren't supposed to devote themselves to a man. I don't think so, though. I think it's because she is like me; she is a strong, independent woman who doesn't carry around a lot of stupid angst about a woman's proper role.

Tomo was supposed to be a bisexual bear (as in gay) but somehow that didn't happen.

#WordWeavers 12.07.2026 What one word sums up how your SC feels in the part of your WIP you're currently working on?
Nothing. There are no SC in the current scenes.
In fact, there are no SC's at all in either of my WIPs.

#WritersCoffeeClub 10 July: Share a bit of written word that drives you wild. What speaks to you about this
He found himself in Meran with some cousins who had various slight ailments, but, being rich and imaginative, had gone to a sanatorium to be cured. But for its sanatoria, Meran might be a cheerful place; their ubiquity reminds a healthy man too often that the air is really good. Being well enough himself, except for a few mental worries, he went to a Gasthaus in the neighbourhood. In the sanatorium his cousins complained bitterly of the food, the ignorant “sisters,” the inattentive doctors, and the idiotic regulations generally—which proves that people should not go to a sanatorium unless they are really ill. However, they paid heavily for being there, so felt that something was being accomplished, and were annoyed when he called each day for tea, and told them cheerfully how much better they looked—which proved, again, that their ailments were slight and quite curable by the local doctor at home.

#WordWeavers 2026.07.11 — Would your protagonist rather be loved or feared? Why?
Given that choice, loved. Respected would rank higher than either. They do not mistake either love or fear as respect. Either can exist without respect.

#WordWeavers Jul 10
Do you prefer writing characters like you or vastly different?In between or vastly different.
MCs usually have some interests in common with me, so I can flesh them out well.
MCs usually follow moral codes similar to mine.
MCs suffer depression, anxiety, and social isolation due to othering.
But they are not me, and I try to mix it up so that I am not always writing the same character, just with a different name.

#ScribesAndMakers – 9th Jul. What's a fairly typical amount of time you spend reading per sitting? How many times per day do you generally get a chance to read?
Correction to my post: The mode is obviously zero. And it is definitely not the average or median. On days I read, (which is most) the mode would be around 2 hours.
One should be precise in these answers.

#ScribesAndMakers – 10th Jul. Do you prefer when a time traveller can choose a specific time/place to go, or when they don't have control over it?
I tend to prefer them having control, but with things being more complicated than they understand, i.e., things can and do go wrong.
This is the situation in #TimeTravelingGhost. They always end up near where they set off to, but it's often not what they want.

#WordWeavers 9 July: Which of your characters would be the least likely to write a love song
Emily. Most of my characters either have a poetic bent or a romantic streak. Emily is a form reporter and spy,: pragmatic and cynical. She may at some point reveal some romantic leanings but not yet. - #TimeTravelingGhost

#ScribesAndMakers – 9th Jul. What's a fairly typical amount of time you spend reading per sitting? How many times per day do you generally get a chance to read?
There is no typical anywhere from 15 minutes to all day with no sleep. Most days I read for a while before getting up and before going to sleep.
I guess the mode would be 2hr per sitting, but who knows what the average or median is.

#WordWeavers 7/8—Have any of your personal biggest fears made it onto the page?
- People: They appear in my stories. The fear of them to a degree. No shutins appear though. "Waiting for Princess Takiyashi" was going to feature one, but two other novels got my attention instead.
- Rebirth: Nope.
- Hate crimes: Minor ones, but not the kinds of assaults that I fear.
- Facism: Increasingly so. It is a major component of "Bijou the Time-Traveling Ghost" and several recent flash. This nightmare Increasingly dominates my world and has crept into my writing.

#ScribesAndMakers – 7th Jul. What do you find compelling in a podcast? If you don't like podcasts, is there anything that could make you interested?
I skim some political podcasts when my mental health will tolerate it and follow one on the war in Ukraine.
Overall, not a big podcast viewer.

#ScribesAndMakers – 6/7l. Share the first sentence of the last chapter of one of your novels.
- Konbini Idol: > Shishi looked up from making shrine charms. “Ume!” she shouted.
- Arisu the Girl Who Sees Ghosts: > We both had a break from school. I was dutifully reading the assignment for Monday. Arisu was procrastinating. If she didn’t get to her studies soon, I would give her a push.
- My Girlfriend Almost Got Me Killed: > The phone rang just as Kao was putting the day’s offerings and a fresh bouquet of white roses in Meiko’s shrine. I looked at the number and gasped. Kao’s uncle had never called me before, but I had his number for emergencies. As I ran out of the room, Kao and Kan-chan watched with alarm.

#WordWeavers 7.6 — Which of your MCs would be most likely to win a dance off?
Shish, she was a professional idol, took tons of dance lessons, etc.
Unless #Airisu beat her out, being a cute crow. Who could resist a crow dancing in the middle of a dance floor?
Oh! A dance off! Still Shishi. She would have the stamina to just keep going, and she would feed off the audience's energy. (Crows don't have the stamina for it.)

Actually thinking about it, I would have answered the same way. What a fairie thinks is benevolent and what I want are probably not the same. See @amPennyfeather for an example.
I would not take, as @gahlearner did, the wording of question as any guarantee. A weekend in Fairie could be several decades here.
At best fairies be tricky folk.

#ScribesAndMakers 5: You're whisked away by faeries to a woodland cottage for a weekend. Necessities will be provided, but for entertainment you're allowed 1 item of your own creation. What are you bringing?
Protective mantra or charm. (Of my own creation). I believe in old school fairies. I have no desire to sacrifice to the fairy queen or wake hundreds of years in the future.

Garden-variety happiness.
I'm not going to explain; it would sound like whining.

#ScribesAndMakers – 1st Jul. Our featured creator is a former librarian. What has been your experience with libraries?
I used libraries frequently when I was young. Social anxiety has hindered that and I haven't been in one for years.

#LoveMakeShare June 30 Share something from this month that you're proud of.
This story strikes the right tone for a #Queer celebration. The relationship is just a relationship without the baggage that Abrahamic religions have loaded onto it.
The final EP will appear on July 2th and the PIXIV and AO3 versions on July 13.
