Things like the TalkToMeDay #TTMD are explained there, and what this is all about.

@QuasiTemporal #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD Hey! No, my bloody time-travel story was a science fantasy series that I... I won't say "dropped," but I'll say it's on standby for the foreseeable future, reason why I stopped posting on the time travel hashtag. That was my only science fantasy work, so I can't say entangling science with magic is something I *do*, especially because I'm not great at the sci-fi part of it 😅

A favourite sapphic ship? Yes! And it's one of mine: Ashrah and Nitara 🥰

#ScribesAndMakers 28: #TTMD w/ @Ink_Soul

My usual 11pm post, was there a question you thought/hoped you'd be asked and weren't, provide with response.

Also, I'm still stuck on your blood time travel from a couple years ago. Was that simply an extension of the blood magic I see discussed, and to what degree do you like to entangle science with magic? Also, do you have a fave sapphic ship from any franchise or book (including yours)?

@saposcat #ScribesAndMakers Thank you! And thanks everyone who participated in this #TTMD! Lots of exciting and intriguing questions, and I loved all the interactions!

And yes, if anyone still has questions, feel free to send them my way!

@EveHasWords #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD Hi! Yup, I've used Twine to develop the wee game currently on my itch page and portfolio, as well as a game that grew waaay out of control and I had to give up on it lol

Recently, I've taken a look at Ink, and I'm currently thinking of a story to write there.

To be honest, I never used any format other than the standard Harlowe 3.2.2, so... I guess that's my favourite 😂

@ianscraper #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD Oh, those are actually not my drawings, but pieces I commissioned based on my characters from Chronicles of the Realms! I do draw as well, but my skills are *nowhere* near that level (examples below).

I draw digital only (should probably have a sketchbook around, too, but eh...), using a simple Wacom tablet and Krita as my drawing software.

#ScribesAndMakers September 28:

Hi, Nicole! ( @Ink_Soul )

I notice that you use Twine to develop games. I haven't developed any in quite a while but I've had a lot of fun developing with Twine in the past. What story format do you prefer? (I'm pretty big on Sugarcube myself.)

I looked at your art on Postimage. Thank you very much for giving us an insight into your work.

I would be interested to know how you go about drawing. Do you draw on paper and then scan your sketches so you can edit them digitally? Or do you work entirely digitally? What tools do you use for drawing and editing?

@TinJar #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD I enjoy developing how the belief in gods and the supernatural shapes cultures and the individual. More than that, though, the gods in my stories are often active characters, or at least we *know* they exist, which adds yet another layer.

Also, I like to work with the idea that divinity is a burden and gods are arseholes. I don't know, I just find it all a lot of fun 😅
