Putting this out there again, because I'm unsure how reach works in the Fediverse and how I can connect to the people I want to find:

Any SFF/horror writers out there writing in unorthodox styles, formats, or mediums? Mild or extreme, books with other stories in the footnotes, flash fiction universes, or stories told via geocache, doesn't matter. I wanna connect!

"then we began writing stories that got into the two girls’ back stories, and they were really interesting. And suddenly we had families and girls watching, and girls really became a big part of our audience, in sort of like they picked up that Harry Potter type of serialized way, which is what The Batman and [indistinct]’s really gonna kill. But, the Cartoon Network was saying, ‘F***, no, we want the boys’ action, it’s boys’ action, this goofy boy humor we’ve gotta get that in there. And we can’t—’ and I’d say, but look at the numbers, we’ve got parents watching, with the families, and then when you break it down—’Yeah, but the—so many—we’ve got too many girls. We need more boys.'”"

Apr. 2: Do you use any special means to get to know your characters? E.g, character sheets, prequels, interviews, etc.

Depends on the character. Some just exist in my mind. Others I keep character sheets, etc. so I can keep their lore straight.

I play DnD and TTRPGs, so I'm used to keeping character sheets. 😂

day 2: What does imposter syndrome mean to you and do you think you have it?

It means that I can't write (paint, perform, etc.) as well as others, and the fear that people will find out I've been faking it this entire time.

Do I have it? Oh yeah. In spades.

(Left) The cover of The Inverted Glass, by Owen Tyme. The Background is a pink and purple nebula in space. The foreground is largely line art, in white, with a black shadow outline. At the center is an hourglass. The bottom has black sand, with a white figure standing in it. The top has is an inverted mirror image of the bottom, with a black figure in white sand. The hourglass serves as the balance point for a set of scales, which hold a heart and a feather. The heart is on the left and the feather on the right. The heart is lower than the feather. (Right) Lying in blue sand is a heart made of the same sand, full of cracks. It glows from the inside in a warm, yellow color. Over that is the following quote: Nicole felt an extreme kind of loss, realizing she’d been stolen away from the afterlife, just before finding out if she deserved punishment or not! “How dare you do this to me? Why?” “I’m always in need of strong spirits and I’ve seen none stronger. You have unique talents I refuse to see go to waste.” (Bottom) https://books2read.com/TheInvertedGlass
