#PennedPossibilities 1147. How does your SC feel about those around them?

Patterico likes Steven but also seems to understand his limitations as a friend. Over the course of the book, he becomes worried about him a bit. Danny Rials tends to be transactional in his relationships. If he does something for you, be prepared for him to call in that chit. Annie Appleton is pretty dismissive of people she regards as less talented or less intelligent than herself.

#PennedPossibilities 1147: How does your SC feel about those around them?

Damir cares about his friends, even if he never says the words aloud. Rather, he shows it, instead. As for everyone else around him, he couldn’t give less of a shit. He usually seems emotionless, unfazed, and cold to most. People assume this of necromancers. Some, meaning the special individuals and the sort who genuinely care about others, they can see the heart inside of him, the one he keeps hidden away. Damir does feel. He feels deeply.

Sure, kinda. Cantata Deeps is one giant love story. But it is the love between Sonata and her brothers and between Pettrie and his partner Anselm that interests me more. Sonata feeding broth to her dying brother. Pettrie fretting about Anselm's safety.

So yes, romance sometimes, but usually friendship, family

Sometimes. First Fantasy has a cute little love story between Ruby and Shen; Cain has an unrequited crush on Bud, but ends up growing as a person because Bud is patient with him. None of this is steamy.

Renard and Carmen end up as a "will they or won't they" and we'll just say in the context of game 1, they don't. The ending is very bittersweet in many ways; happiness is relative; sometimes life is complicated.

In Grey Coded, the answer is kind of the opposite. There's a point where Wheeler sees Maya all dolled up for a date and he's positively floored, but it's because he didn't realize who he was looking at for a second. He will always see her like a sister and drives her to her date, telling the lucky mister that if he hurts her, they'll never find his body. XD

Regularly, but not as a main component. People often fall in love along the way, but it's not usually what the story is about.

A broad question. All my novels feature it to some extent or other. Often it is unsuccessful or problematic, as it is in Ophelia Hook's romance with Jeffrey Downdale in Ophelia in the Bathtub. Remarkably, Darroll and Vanessa's relationship in The Psychopath Club proves remarkably durable, considering what a jaundiced view of humans and human relationships both of them have.

Does romance ever feature in your work?

There're subplots with side characters as well as one with the MC. I enjoy interpersonal relationships in general--my work includes many family and friend storylines too--but romantic relationships are particularly interesting to delve into for character development. However, I don't write "romance," per se. The adventure plot is always at the forefront, though often heavily interconnected with character relationships.

#PennedPossibilities 1146: "Does romance ever feature in your work?"

Often, yes. Not always.

Some stories are too short for true romance. But in most of my novels there is some.

And of course, my Wolves are Romance, with a big helping of adventure.

I am, lightly said, not a big fan of romance. So, I would never write a romance story for the sake of it. When romance features in my stories, it's just one of many layers. It never happens as fan service and it needs to serve the plot. I absolutely hate the "boy gets girl" in adventure movies or the "true love" trope in fairy tales where the prince never actually met her

Yes, in the sense of characters falling in love with each other, but their love stories don't always follow a classic romance scheme, and I admit I enjoy exploring what happens once they have become a couple even more than that initial romantic phase.

There have been numerous references to sex and romance over the course of the 6 books in the series.

8 characters have paired up so far, Nathan and Vicky, Esther and Frank, Lucy and Bruce, and Cassie and Dex.

You could argue there’re actually 5 pairings if you included Bruce and his mentor, Thompson, given the way they bicker like a married couple.

Not in my WIP, how'd that even work? We're inside a brain in my WIP.

In other stories, I do write about romance. It's usually a part of the human condition, to be infatuated, enamoured, becharmed, or smitten by someone. But it is also a part of the human experience to be rejected, ignored, or forgotten.

It's simply to fertile grounds for friction and tension to leave out.
