#WordWeavers #AntifascistFantasy 27. Do you have any sort of marginalized group representation in your current book?

❄ a little, I mean, only trans people, with transfems transmascs and enbies of various types, and lesbians, gays, aces and aros, and roughly every major racial group in the region, indigenous ones especially, and young and old folks, Autistics of course, including nonverbal Autistics, and immigrants and refugees, and ADHD, probably other neurodivergences to be explored, so like a little diversity–well I guess trans women outnumber cis women 3 to 1 in the Helbender crew but that should go without saying right

#WordWeavers #AntifascistFantasy 26. Does your MC truly fix stuff, or are they a duct tape type of fixer?

Razha: actually fixes it really well
Nadia: fixes it at least good enough to not endanger lives
Elliv: maybe half and half
Kurri: genuinely tries but it falls apart right away
Zal: pure duct tape but no power on Zenaran could break it again after they’re done with it

#WordWeavers #AntifascistFantasy 23. What writing craft skill are you focusing on improving at this time?

❄ I have been focusing a lot on narrative voice, especially with trying to be flexible and make the voice a unique part of each work rather than just being mine, while still making it flow naturally. it’s a challenging aspect of writing and one I think I only recently really begun to understand.

#WordWeavers #AntifascistFantasy 21. What’s the most useless or humorous writing feedback you ever received?

❄ probably around ~2010 in some writing class in college (these mostly consisted of students writing stories and making edit notes and comments on each other’s works), I had submitted a story involving a girl being tortured by a cult, and received a comment that it was something like, not very female friendly, I forget the exact wording. girl if only you knew the kind of stuff transfems would be writing a decade later.

#WordWeavers #AntifascistFantasy 19. Do your MCs or antagonists have characteristics you’re uncomfortable writing?

❄ well writing the antagonists in this novel requires me to write very uncomfortable things like transphobia, racism, etc. but the protagonists, no, they did nothing wrong.

#WordWeavers #AntifascistFantasy 20. Under what circumstances would your MC side with the antagonist?

❄ if they stopped being fascists, and did something to prove it.
