#PennedPossibilities 900 — Share a piece of lore from your WIP.

Considering they're vampires, would a food fight also be a blood sport?@sfwrtr @lunar_fang That might just be one of the funniest things I've read, comment-wise, for this story. The way I snort-laughed...

#PennedPossibilities 924 — SC POV: Who do you think would be the most likely to start a food fight, and why? What food would they reach for first?

Hati: I have two answers here. Either Fenella or Duncan. Don’t piss that lass off. Fenella is a feisty one. And it would have to be something hard. Maybe an apple. They hurt like hell. I could imagine her lobbing it right at Alistair’s back if he said the wrong thing at the worst time. As for Duncan, he’s just a petty bastard. Who can say why he’d do it, or what he would reach for first. It depends on what’s around the room, I suppose.

#PennedPossibilities 925 — Would your characters enjoy camping? Why or why not?
Some of them would. Others not so much.
Alistair has slept in far worse places than a tent. That would be no problem for him. Also, he enjoys the outdoors. Fenella would say “f*ck that” right off the bat. Hati and Sam would probably enjoy it as well. Hati is down to try anything. She’s spontaneous that way. Caden, however, is the one I’m not so sure about. I’m leaning towards no. He would probably hate it and miss his flat (and art business).

#PennedPossibilities 926 — Do your characters play any sports, or did they play any in the past?
Alistair is the only one. But to say what he played and what the time period was (when he played the sport) would give away a major spoiler. None of the others have or do.

#PennedPossibilities 927 — Is your MC proud of who they are? Why or why not?
Alistair has never been proud of who he is, or what sort of creature he is. I will add, however, that Fenella *is* proud of him, as is Hati as well. While he views himself as a villain, they never have. He’s a hero (but an imperfect one) to them in many ways.

#PennedPossibilities 928 — Tell us a bit about your story (or stories), style, writing process, research, or what you enjoy writing. You can talk about anything related to being an author tonight.
I’ve rambled enough about my writing style and how the writing process goes for me. I’ll talk about what I write for a change. I’m a romance author. I love Romantic Fantasy AKA Romantasy, Dark Romance, Gothic and/or Paranormal Romance, etc. I adore writing all of it, and I’ve dabbled in a lot of genres for my tales. I enjoy delving into original universes for: Sword and Sorcery AKA Heroic Fantasy, Fantasy, SFF, Historical, Horror, Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, HopePunk, Mysteries, and Cozy Fantasy, just to list off a handful of genres. I’ve written (and read, of course) a little bit of everything over the years. I’m a weaver of weird and wonderful tales.
Let’s talk about writing romance for a bit. For me, romance drives the plot in tandem with what’s happening within the universe, and when romantic tension—the “push and pull” of attraction and conflict—directly causes, complicates, or resolves the main storyline’s external events, that’s definitely my bread and butter. Rather than a side story or a subplot, the relationships act as the catalyst for character decisions, raising stakes, and forcing actions that move the narrative forward.

#PennedPossibilities 929 — What is your MC’s country or place of origin, and where do they currently live?
For reasons that will become obvious later, I’ll answer this one about Fenella. She’s from Moray, Scotland. It’s where she was born, lived, died, and became bloodbound AKA became a vampire. She traveled the world for about seven years, after she and Alistair decided to end their love affair, and now she’s back again. She missed it dearly as well. And him, of course.

#PennedPossibilities 930 — Would your SC risk their own life to save a stranger?
(I was far too tired after my endoscopy to post a prompt last night. Here we go!)
Hati probably would. She *cares* about the mortals. Samuel might be more careful about things, just so he won’t give away who and *what* he is. Caden probably wouldn’t care. (Unless he had the occasional whim to save someone.)

#PennedPossibilities 931 — In your MC’s opinion, what would be the worst way to die?
I think I’ll break a rule and actually answer this one from his POV instead, just to let him do the talking. So, Alistair? What’s your answer?
Alistair: Being forgettable, my dear writer. That’s an easy answer for me.

@floofpaldi What if reality itself were rewritten so that one was not simply forgotten, but had never existed in the first place? (Is that still death?)

#PennedPossibilities 932 — Share three facts about a favorite SC with us.
• Hati’s incredibly sassy. I mean, beyond sassy. Sometimes she’s *too* sassy. (Kinda like me, oops.)
• She loves the comfort of reading by the fire while Alistair’s at his desk, tapping away on his typewriter and working on a new chapter. That’s a cozy night in for her.
• She’s always open to new experiences, despite how utterly terrified of mortals she is. I love her for that.#WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 933 — Share three facts about your MC with us.
• Fenella only realized how horrible the mistake of leaving Scotland and leaving Alistair was after she left and was a continent away. She still loves him dearly.
• She’s actually a better fighter than Alistair.
• She prefers drinking from women rather than men. Men are idiots, and their blood tastes stale to her these days. Being a private investigator and seeing the things she did while working cases was most likely the catalyst.#WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 934 — Do you have a book cover for your WIP?
Oh, yeah. I have a main one, but there are others as well. I have alternative covers. It helps when I post new chapters here on Mastodon for friends to read. Having visuals or book covers is eye-catching. I’ll show you guys my favorite ones.

@floofpaldi Like the darker one.
