#PennedPossibilities 972 — Do you ever have to deal with “trolls” where your writing is concerned? Do you receive hate?

Occationally. It's usually scammers, not trolls, that intrude on my writing space.

#PennedPossibilities 971 — Where does your SC feel the safest? Is there a particular person or object that helps them feel safe?

In #KonbiniIdol, both Kan-chan and Tomo feel safest in the kitchen, while Shishi wants to be with Ume.

I don't have a sense for that in my WIP yet. Since Emily Pang is a time nomad, it is probably by default when she is with Bijou.

#PennedPossibilities 970 — MC POV: Have you ever experienced something that couldn’t be logically explained?

All my characters laugh hysterically.

#PennedPossibilities⁩ 969 — Do your stories have happy endings?

They are HEA endings with a hook for possible sequels. (None have been written). Except #KonbiniIdol, which, while HEA has some very dark elements to it, among other things, the characters all bear trauma scars. Not going to go into detail, because the exact nature of the ending is spoiler material.

#PennedPossibilities 976.1: Pick a character. How do they, or how would they, react to sleep deprivation?

#KonbiniIdol: Ume didn't use to have this problem, but since I put her through the wringer, she has terrible nightmares.

She is cranky, smokes too much, and wants to take a nap on Shishi's lap under the kodoma's trees.

• Airisu: “I can answer that question. I have three degrees: A BA in mystic psychology, a master's in European medieval studies, and a Ph.D. in Japanese mythology. 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.

#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.

#PennedPossibilities 965 — What is your MC’s reaction when someone close to them is sick or injured?

Tomo #KonbiniIdol: "It depends on who it is. Ume will take care of the person, unless it's Shishi, when she freaks out, and that is all she can think about. Isn't love wonderful?"

#PennedPossibilities 964 — MC POV: What area of your life do you tend to enjoy in excess instead of moderation?
