#PennedPossibilities 1022 — How would your MC like to be remembered after their death? What sort of legacy would they want to leave?

#TimeTravelingGhost: They are dead. Emily hopes her legacy will have been stopping the Nazi from obtaining mind-reading. As a spy, she doesn't hope to be remembered for it.

#KonbiniIdol: Ume hopes to leave some books behind that will entertain people for years to come.

#MyGirlFriend: Kao would like to have done something to decrease discrimination against sexual/gender minorities. Not that she is doing much along that line.

The rest haven't thought about it.

#WordWeavers 17. How far beyond the local home of your MC does your story extend?

#TimeTravelingGhost has so far extended all back to the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.
#Airisu, #KonbiniIdol, #MyGirlFriend, and #TheGirlWhoSawGhosts extend into the Shadow Land, Kakuriyo. Which is literally an unmeasurable distance.

#EroticMusings 46: Does your work ever explore its own unreality? Part 2

So far, my narrators have tried to be honest brokers. But they can only tell what they know and believe.

For example, Ume in #KonbiniIdol can be very hard on herself, and if you took her words at face value, you would believe she was a totally selfish, self-serving person. Things she can be, but not to the degree she blames herself for.

Similarly, in #MyGirlfriend, Kao believes herself fatally cursed and worthless. While Shiro battles between what she was taught about social conformity and proper sexual conduct and her own impulses.d.

In #TheGirlWhoSawGhosts, Arisu comes to believe she is a youkai who has possessed someone.

From that point of view, it explores how self-image and reality don't always match.

#ScribesAndMakers Apr 9: Our next featured creator is a professor. Does any of your work involve professors and/or universities?

Short answer: Yes

  • #TheGirlWhoCouldSeeGhosts: The MCs are university students. The special university for people with high reikon/霊魂 is mentioned for the first time.
  • #MyGirlfriend Almost Got Me Killed: Mikito-sensei (光尊) is introduced.
  • #KonbiniIdol The special university and Mikito-sensei play an ongoing role. The MCs are not students anymore.
  • #Airisu: The Ghost and the Witch: Airisu was a professional student. Otherwise no.
  • Bijou the #TimeTravelingGhost: Bijou was a professor of metaphysics. Arkam University is the only location so far the characters visit more than once.

Linguistically, I read Latin and can speak English, Japanese, and the crow dialect of corvid. I can even spout slop like AI. Ack, ack, ack.” I'm so funny.
  • Sumika: BA

#MyGirlfriend

  • Kao, Shiro: Woking on a BA

#KonbiniIdol

  • Umi: 3 years of college

#PennedPossibilities 966 — SC POV: When was the last time you got lost?

Kan-chan #KonbiniIdol #MyGirlFriend: I don't know if it was the last time, but the one I remember is when we tracked Kao in Aokigahara. It's a nightmare forest you probably know by the name "The Suicide Forest." Shiro was out of her mind, worried about Kao. If it wasn't for the Red Lady, who knows how long we would have wandered around lost.

#NMPP #NMPrompts
