01.07.2024 Introduce your story as if it were a person. What is their character, style, etc.?
1/3
Hi reading person, nice to see you again, I have a friend with me, Star Ryde this is reading person, reading person this is Star Ryde.

Star Ride is a work in progress so I'm showing them around hope you don't mind?

It wants to become a full book in its future, a Sci-fi novel, with a brought inclusive spectrum. It already has some backstory and a lot of LGBTQIA+
#wordweavers 01.07.2024 #StarRyde

2/3 character interaction, including themes like *trans humanism, futurism, social progression and a galactic scale conflict. It tries to stay focused on a more realistic approach but doesn't shy's away from the fantasy aspect of a space opera, it started as a combination of fanfictions & already exists for more than ten years, in my head but last year it really started to get form. As I said it is still a WIP, but it wanted to tell you about it's universe in
#wordweavers 01.07.2024 #StarRyde

3/3 which Humanity is part of a galactic spanning Union, fighting against an enemy which motivations are unknown, if we can pull it off it will be full of consensual interactions, some fuzzy warm emotions, technological and social progressions, colorful worlds and interesting Alien worlds/societies. I hope you to will work well together.
If you two need anything or have a question, I am here, just toot.

02.07.2024 What is the biggest sacrifice your MC is ready to make?

Well Kira lost a lot in this war already. We will see how far she goes in her future...

03.07.2024 MC POV: What's your most important achievement?
1/3
Kira:"Personally, on a interspecies/ relationship level, professional, physical, psychological. Gosh I dislike open questions, if you want a straight answer, please ask a straight defined question...
Okay I try...
Personal having met great people that somehow stuck around.
Professional, my file contains all necessary informations if you can't access it, it is most likely not for you to

#WordWeavers 03.07.2024 #StarRyde #KiraKnox

2/3 to know such information, relationship i'm merged with an AI & it's kinda nice? I think others may find it annoying but I kinda like it. I like Ash she is very polite & simply nice to have as a 3. or 4. thought. Still don't know how I got lucky to wake Arkham's interest, as I first met her, she was an interesting person with potential, but now she is the rabbit hole I want to get lost in."

Arkham:"This sounds naughty."

Kira:"What, why?"

#WordWeavers 03.07.2024 #StarRyde #KiraKnox

3/3 Ash:"I think the FC has different ideas about rabbit holes as her captain."

Arkham:"Maybe it's the fact you called me a rabbit hole & I thought I'ma bad flirt. I mean it's kinda nice but also kinda WEIRD you know. Couldn't you have said this about my eyes?"

Kira:"I am not allowed to lie mam, your eyes don't look like rabbit holes, they look like 2 stars, shining into my soul."

Arkham grabed Kira's face, looking into her eyes & smiled:"Slimer."

05.06.2024 Who among your cast could become your friend?

Me as an Author maybe AJ. Their memory problems would at least make it easier for them to don't see me as the one that sets everything in motion and pulls all the strings.

As an character I would like to hang out with Kira, J. And the rest of the bunch. But damn I have to get in shape to getting into the Alliance and becoming a top soldier... My body wants me to tell you that this is highly unlikely.πŸ˜…

#WordWeavers 04.07.2024 #StarRyde

05.07.2024 Have you ever had a crush on one of your characters?

No and weirdly I don't think this could even be possible. I sometimes create characters that have all the "necessary bits" that I could find them attractive as a person, I rarely build characters to please me or my favorite visuals, but I can't imagine (despite having fictional and real crushes left and right* πŸ˜”) crushing on my own creations. Adore them to a degree maybe.

#WordWeavers 05.06.2024 #StarRyde #writing #AboutMeIGuess

* basically I crush to a certain level on my closest friends... It's not necessary a romantic or sexual crush, possible but rarely, it's more like:"Uh my freaking gosh! You are awesome! I really want to mind meld with you, letting our physical limitations evaporate, becoming one entity, to understand who you are, see you in your own picture, showing you who you are to me. Just being one.
Gosh damn the Borg would have such an easy game on me...πŸ˜…

07.07.2024 Antagonist POV: Who do you trust with your life?

AI:"No one, everyone can be manipulated, I am in this charades for longer than most. My trust to work for me has to been earned, if you not useful to our goal at least stay out of our way."

AJ:"I can't rely on anyone other than myself, I don't know why I'm telling you about this, but my memory issues make it easy for others to take advantage of me. For that reason I started only trusting myself and my notes..."

Authors note apparently my instance now supports 1000 characters per toot. Oh boy the opportunities.πŸ™πŸΎπŸ’š

Mental note to myself find out how to support my instance.

07.07.2024 How did you feel after your last writing session? Why?

Not very good to be honest, I dived into the backstory of my Fallout 76 cannibal/pvp/team medic and despite finding her background intriguing it felt like torturing her...

I have a sadistic aide sometimes but is more a trait I dislike and don't enjoy putting it "on display" the Fallout show and games are always tuned down from depicting what a post apocalypse society could be in its nastiest ways only mentioning it or telling it by environmental story telling. Writing her backstory is like unearthing all stuff that isn't shown and what the show showed me is that my level of graphical violence (blunt like exploding body parts or stealthy like mental abuse) limits are very low the more realistic it gets and writing it is a deep dive into a very realistic feeling for me.

09.07.2024 Is there a person you'd love to show your writing to but are afraid to do it? Why?

Depends on my writing I'm doing I wouldn't put out my diary out there if I would have one. And I have no experience releasing much more than some toots and rarely a fanfiction among a small selection of people... So I think not really but time will tell.

09.07.2024 What are you doing differently with your story compared to your previous work?

Well it basically is my previous work I never cooked so long in something but I also never took it seriously.
I do not force myself to a PC anymore and most of what I'm doing is patchwork Chaos because that is how I am and work best. What is really different for the first time I want to finish this work somehow and I'm am using the writing prompts here on Mastodon to develop stuff further.

#WordWeavers 09.07.2024 #StarRyde #writing #SciFi #SpaceOperaVSHardSciFi?

@AnnaSaultron the prompts are really helpful to let us digging some ideas or themes we wouldn’t have even thought about otherwise.
Big up to creators of them like @johnhowesauthor, @AlinaLeonova and @BranwenOShea πŸ™Œ
