555. Are there any themes for stories that you’re excited to explore in the future?

Can't tell for sure so far.
Maybe I revisit old plans and finally write them.
Have a lot to choose from.
Maybe I push Galaxy Glyde out of my system into words.
Maybe I start StarTyde the parallel universe where everything is Space hotel/luxusliner themed.
Or the Star Ryde Self Insert Romance Alternate Universe
Dive deeper into the StarRyde Universe.
Or as I said go back to old abandoned Projects like the Fox and Raven in which Aliens, Demons and Angels fight over earth.
Nacht des Mares how a soulless Girls learns to run humanity to aquire her soul.
Or I finally finish my Mass Effect Fanfiction that became massive inspiration for Star Ryde.🤷🏽‍♀️

But First I try to finish StarRyde and whatever themes will emerge while writing it on addition to my planned ones.

556. If it ever came down to it, who would your MC be willing to die for?

1/2
Kira had multiple near death encounters already & survived one death, that cursed moment as Anika went m.i.a./died. Her heart stopped shortly after being blasted into the Shuttles armored interior cabinet, with that high energy blast that fried her NIN port & damaged a part of her brain. They managed to revive her on the flight back to the Ghoz'Tarc where her NIN Snail replacement took place.
So Anika is out of the question, since Kira beliefs in the Union & the Alliance, defends their values & citizens. She would die for them on the battlefield if necessary but the goal is to stay alive.

Arkham doesn't like this martyr komplex thinking. She is focused on survival & to do the things she deems necessary.

Ashlei would do anything to keep her crew alive, dying for them, however is not an option, if the ship dies the crew is

#PennedPossibilities 556. #StarRyde #KiraKnox #Arkham #Ashlei #writing #SciFi #WIP

2/2 in danger of being injured or to die too, thua weather her program nor her body (the Ghoz'Tarc) are sacrifices to make. Her program in theory isn't needed if the sub core survives but the sub core efficiency rate is significantly lower than Ashlei's, it is more like a Bios. It has an low level of Artificial Intelligence, but the crew would need to adjust everything by direct order. The sub core just would provide the ability to do so. While Ash balances all the systems with high accuracy.

#PennedPossibilities 556. #StarRyde #KiraKnox #Arkham #Ashlei #writing #SciFi #WIP

557. For the writers who have more than one WIP: How do you balance multiple projects at once?

I don't it's hyper focused or nothing at all, my figuratively spoken drawer, has at least a backdoor to Narnia, or Michael Endes Phantasien, Wonderland, or in the library of the Unseen University of Terry Pratchett's Discworld, where a giant pile of unfinished Projects lies in the dirt until I manage it somehow to finish one...

#PennedPossibilities 557. #StarRyde #writing #SciFi #WIP

558. For the writers who only have one WIP: Have you ever started or considered starting a second project?

See Answer 555

https://nerdculture.de/@AnnaSaultron/113814538969331236

I also have some ideas like Rüdiger rettet a different Form af a Dragon Knight story, Cube world (wip title) etc, the never to be finished Mass Effect Fanfiction. A Star Trek Fanfiction with the same problem and only Gork and Mork knows how many unfinished Character Backgrounds still want to be written...

#PennedPossibilities 558.

559. MC POV: What is a sure-fire way to distract you from the task at hand?

Kira Knox:"Depends on the task at hand. Rescue extraction? The threat changes. Threat elimination? Few things can if I don't get wounded.
Cooking? I try my best to stay focused. Paperwork? Everything else could still it's necessary and needs to be done.
Having a moment with one of my significant others? Work emergency.

As a soldier deployed on deep range mission the safety of the ship and my fellow soldiers, my crew, my friends comes first but if our mission is to safe people I often have to make decisions on the fly and wing it (expression for improvising something with the available information - a wing just does what it's ment for it doesn't think to much on its own and reacts in combination to other parts) as good as possible.

Arkham and Ashlei both have the potential to distract me a bit more. But overall I don't think there is ONE way."

#PennedPossibilities 559 #StarRyde #KiraKnox #writing #SciFi #WIP

560. Your MC has exactly two hours to do something with a small amount of currency in their world. How are they spending the time and money?

Kira: Clearly a cover up/undercover mission so she would just pretend to be a tourist and act similar.

Arkham: Same idea maybe both are talking about little gifts, blink, kitsch for friends back home.

Ashlei aka The Ghoz'Tarc
Wellnesstime! Getting some fuel at the station, restocking the ammunition and a visit by the "Pedicure" getting her thrusters, cleansed, repaired and recoated.
Of course we talk a bigger amount of cash but if your are a slightly under 180 meters long scout vessel you don't buy your outfit and commodities of the rack.😉

#PennedPossibilities 560 #StarRyde #KiraKnox #Arkham #Ashlei #GhozTarc #writing #SciFi #WIP

561. Thoughts on your WIP's genre. Love it? Enough stories written in it? You an avid reader? (Shortened)

Oboe... Military SciFi mixed with lesbian relationship but queer as fork (hopefully), strokes of Dystopia/ Utopia if possible with human depiction like Terry Pratchett & a hint of Eldritch Horror.
It will be great, meh or a complete clusterfork.

I don't read as much as I wish this days but enjoy listening to audiobooks, a lot of small reddit stories get narrated on you tube (I try to only listen to human voices & no AI crap).

I like the subgenre of HumanityFuckYeah for it's different approach to SciFi tropes, I love Cyberpunk for its tales of humanity, Utopian tales for ideals that we should strife for. Military SciFi for the fight we need to keep our societal achievements protected. Dystopian as a warning for what not to strife for. Space Opera for the character driveness.

I want to live in the future but not in the one of 1984.

#PennedPossibilities 561 #StarRyde #WIP

562. Do you have a writing routine?

Not at all but that's a recurring theme in my live and trust me you wouldn't have me routined...

I could make up a mystical writing ritual like taking Alphabet Noodles counting every letter in it and than take the fitting amount of letters for a general German or English text, cook it, drain the water and slap the finished noodles onto a plate calling it a text, but than I would only be a LNSM a large noodle slap machine.

#PennedPossibilities 562 #writing #AboutMeIGuess

563. Silly question: Who would your SC want to take goofy photographs with? If cameras exist in your universe, of course.

Camera or Picta (Picture Taking) is a standard function of each Holo. You tab the "Hologram"* interface for Picta after which you form two L shapes with your hands and frame what ever you want as a picture. Or link it to a visor and say pict. The Holo extrapolates what you can see and takes all data in that area before it generates a 3D Video/Picture/audio file for as long as you have the "frame" up or say depicted.

Mondira has this really annoying tendencies to make photos on every occasion.

She would love to have some more relaxed Fotos with Kira and Arkham that said her hero crush on Kira is bordering into a real crush... which is an topic for a later time but Kira isn't very happy about that or Foto jump scares.

*It's more like a femtosecond super heated plasma that provides resistance

#PennedPossibilities 563 #StarRyde #MondiraRamann #writing #SciFi #WIP

654 What are your SC’s views on marriage? Do they believe it’s something strictly for love, or an institution rooted in business and social benefits?

General opinion in the Union.
It should be for love only but yet there are still enough political, financial motivated, alien princess stories happening in the galaxy.

But also in the union there are no big differences between married and unmarried people and relationships with more than one partner exist at the same general acceptance level.

#PennedPossibilities 654 #StarRyde #writing #SciFi #WIP

565 What would your MC’s go-to song at a party be? Would they be dancing?

Yes they would but most like to in universe music and sorry atm im working on developing my drawing skills I'm not going into digital music creation RN I'm barely writing.🙈😅

But if you need a musical reference
Take a metal song of your choice give it more of an dirty Rock E Guitar, mix in elements from Funkstar Deluxe Bob Marley Covers, Wintergaatan's Marble Machine, Daft Punk and Dax Ryder's, give it a little flavor with Diablo Swing Orchestra and or the Diva Dance from the fifth element.

#PennedPossibilities 565 #StarRyde #KiraKnox #writing #SciFi #WIP

566. What hobbies do you have outside of writing?

In no particular order
- Warhammer 40k, dropped playing still collecting/building
- Star Trek
- SciFi in general
- Gaming
-- Video games, im good at breaking engines, finding solutions for weird bugs or player needs like getting the Umbra X2 Mod Weapon in Cyberpunk or 'rescuing' tiny tires in Fallout 4.
-- Understanding engine mechanics as it seems.
-- PNP RPGs or TTRPGs online & in person.
-- Magic the Gathering
DND, Cyberpunk red/2020 hybrid atm looking to get into Star Trek Adventures
- Reading, less than i used to.
- writing reactivated thanks to this prompt game.
- drawing reactivated thanks to writing.
- im looking into 3D (print) drawing atm.
- philosophy, turns out that I share a lot in common with known philosophical persons I barely heard of cause blind spots I guess.
- Modell building like kits or brick based like Lego or Bluebrixx (if I ever order there again 🤬)
- collecting video game systems
#PennedPossibilities 566

567. SC POV: Tell us about a time you said “no” as a child.

1/2
Mondira:"This psychological study algorithm knows the tricks right? If 'as a child' wouldn't exist I could have said how about now?"

Arkham:"Captain did earlier this year, don't know why the question is up again and what it had to do with childhood."

"So its her fault I can't skip that?"

"Weird angle your coming from. Test is standard everyone has to answer it every now and thean, you can put them on hold but not skip them entirely. And looking for someone to blame for a automated system it should be the programming person or I don't know ask Ash who is responsible for this."

"What did you answer?"

"Why is it of your concern?"

"I'm lost, come on Arkham we are both in the same age range not like the oldies."

"You Rims are strange sometimes and remember that one of this "oldies" is the captain and the first woman I ever felt romantically

#PennedPossibilities 567 #StarRyde #Arkham #MondiraRamann #writing #SciFi #WIP

2/2 interested in & date? She is only 10 years older than me, on a Terran life scale that's not even a tenth. I find it kinda disrespectful of you."

"Outch that wasn't my intention. Sorry, I did not want to hurt you or cross any lines. As you said in the Rim or at least on my homeworld we act differently, decency is important but we don't mind talking baseline to each other."

"It's okay, you apologized & I think you mean it because otherwise I would have to pull rank."

"Thanks mam!" Mondira saluted a bit goofily. Arkham smiled what she hoped was a reaffirming smile.
"I tell you something Mon. If you answered & want to talk afterwards about our lives before we came to the alliance I'm open for that."

"Thank you Arkham. I guess I will answer how I protected my si'mply the best brother I have against my mother."

"Hm could have need you back in the days I guess. Parental problems seem our trope here."

568. After the story is all done, how does or should the MC come across to the reader?

Different.

#PennedPossibilities 568 #StarRyde #writing #SciFi #WIP

569. Do any of your SCs represent something important within the story? Explain what it is, and tell us why they represent that very thing.

Mondira, she is from a Rimworld and joined the Union, because she believes that it is the best way to fight against the Eltaryn. Her Homeworld is a planet, that was colonized around 200 years ago by human space settlers that fled earth & had planed to found a paradise elsewhere, sadly the cryo pods & the propulsion systems broke, the planet, crashes on, lacks vital resources, they had to rely on Alien archeo tech to stabilize the earlier population by prolonging their live & rearranging their genes to diversify their pool.
Her world is the equivalent of what could happen to us if we don't change our society. Unbound capitalism in turbo mode. The world looks like a baren Rock and a giant coastal city.

Mondira is sort of a time traveler without time travel.

#PennedPossibilities 569. #StarRyde #MondiraRamann #writing #SciFi #WIP

570. When your MC is in a tough situation, do they use their words or their actions to get them out of it?

Kira, words, fists and feets, sidearm, portal device (the Slip/Slyde), OHKIA Orbital High Kinetic Impact Ammunition (Longini Lance) or similar weapons, but that is hopefully just another word weight improvement.

#PennedPossibilities 570 #StarRyde #KiraKnox #writing #SciFi #WIP

571. What or who motivates your antagonist / villain to act the way they do? Could a new motivator convince them to change?

AI: No one knows.
AJ: seems like revenge.

And most likely not in both cases

#PennedPossibilities 571 #StarRyde #AntagonistInfernale #AJ #AntagonistJunior #AJohnson #writing #SciFi #WIP

572 How seriously does your SC take themselves? Do they prefer a solemn and intellectual atmosphere, or do they instead delight in jokes and banter?

Depends on the SC.
The crew has an overall relaxed stance. They are a bigger family or a clan in a sense and of course some are more strict and straight forward than others. The overall approach on board is filled with jokes and friendly banter, sarcastic at times but filled with empathy.

I also would call it the LGBTQIA+ space party bus.

#PennedPossibilities 572 #StarRyde #GhozTarcCrew #writing #SciFi #WIP

573. Picture This: Your MC is at a karaoke bar and see someone they want to impress. What song do they sing? (Shortened, KB's exist)

Kira, from the bubblegum Crisis soundtrack the fictional band Priss and the Replicants - Konya wa Hurricane
in original Japanese. Which is a rare feature in the future under Link 1.

Arkham Electric Callboy - We got the moves in English same like Japanese above. Link 2:

Aschlei well she would try to use this opportunity for a joke that probably only Kira would get with a Klingon war chant under Link 3:

574. When was the last time your antagonist / villain cried?

AJ: Probably in the last 24 hours.

A: Unknown

#PennedPossibilities 574. #StarRyde #AntagonistInfernale #AntagonistJunior #AJohnson #writing #SciFi #WIP

575. Random: Do you currently have any ideas (for WIPs) you just can’t let go of? Is there anything you’re dying to write?

Well basically Star Ryde is still this idea but plot bunnies multiply daily.

The SRSIRAU only exists for some of the prompts but intrigues me maybe I slap it into each other with Star TYDE the Wellness Cruise/Hotel Surfer Alternate Universe...

Galaxy Glyde The Farmo(i)st Adventure Out There is still planned.

If I really write the three stories my resume will read Ryde Tyde and Slyde.

Single characters are interesting enough to revisit them if possible that so far have only a minor role in the WIP

Revisiting other WIPs I dropped etc the plot bunny army still grows.

576. Have you ever wanted to quit writing?

Yes and I did because I have a terrible resistance against back lashes.

#PennedPossibilities 576 #writing #AboutMeIGuess

577. Where would your MC go for a fun Friday night?

2333 AD London has some amazing beach clubs but Arkham isn't much interested in them. She prefers flying in her training Shuttles testing her skills.

2324 AD Kira and Anika where in the earlier stages of their Alliance training and had a lot of fun on weekends or on vacation, including bar brawls (which are staged entertainment for tourists and interested folks) but most of the times they focused on relaxing with friends.

2335 AD Kira, Arkham and Ashlei relaxing alongside the rest of the crew on an occasional Birthday party or Karaoke evening or whatever the crew comes up with to get on with their lives and relax.
Okay parts of Ash "relax" in the sense she parts resources to socialize with the crew while the Ghoz'Tarc itself keeps scanners up all the time and Ash Monitors everything.

#PennedPossibilities 577 #StarRyde #writing #KiraKnox #AnikaJohanson #Arkham #Ashlei #SciFi #WIP

578 How does your MC behave around strangers?

Kira Knox: Cautious but friendly.
After all as a soldier of the Alliance you are trained to deescalate stressful situations but also defend the people in need, if necessary. So she keeps an eye out for unusual situations.

Arkham: Same as Kira but a bit more scruff, she doesn't small talk at all with strangers if it is not necessary and she rarely sugar coats anything if the person she is talking to isn't a child, but even then not more than necessary.

Ashlei: Have you ever seen a 178 ish meter Spaceship among other people?
On board, if strangers are around she mimics the helpful Service AI.

#PennedPossibilities 578 #StarRyde #KiraKnox #Arkham #Ashlei #writing #SciFi #WIP

579. Pick one of your favorite SCs. How does the story benefit by having them within its universe?

Mondira allows us to view the Universe of Star Ryde closer from our 21 shitsh... Sorry century point of view.
Since the whole thing is still work in progress at least that's what I imagine.
Her homeworld could be current earth or at least a city like New York, Munich or Tokyo in the near future with some Aliens injected into the mix.

#PennedPossibilities 579. #StarRyde #MondiraRamann #Writing #SciFi #WIP

580. How many drafts do you usually go through?

I am trying to keep track of my changes, as some might know or have an idea about how I structure my answers here on Mastodon, but, I am an agent of chaos in non digital places and tend to have a giant folder named download on all devices... Followed by download sorting one, two..., so every time I make changes I create a new document with the current date.

The actual documents im writing on are called StarRyde Draft 000.001 [Date] so I have no freaking idea but I will move to draft 000.002 someday, probably if I reach some arbitrary threshold I set up. But atm I'm not really writing more than prompt answers and try to figure out the shape of the Ghoz'Tarc and make it not look like a forking D!©]<.😤
Next time humanity evolves get some neutral connectors that look same on both sides.🤬

Damn it, Jim! I'm an Author, not an Artist!😭

581. How should writers deal with rejection?

1/2

"Can I have another one?" Anna held up an empty whiskey glass, the barkeep was a Bethosian, her ears opened & turned towards Anna. Bethosians have wide variety of skin tones between light gray & dark purple, depending on their age & emotional state, so she stood out in the other wise Terran bar. Her nose slit opened - a tiny tentacle like appendix slid out to test the air.
Her wide spaced eyes narrowed on Anna. "That was your 9th glass, don't you think you head enough?"
"Book got rejected, need to celebrate."
"Celebrate the rejection?" The barkeeps slim, 4 fingered hand grabbed the bottle that Anna almost cleared on her own.
"Means I am free to write what I want & do what I want, true freedom."
The amber colored liquid filled the glass.
"Wheren't you free before?"
"Now I got it framable." She smilled a sour smile.
"Couldn't you just find some one...

#PennedPossibilities 581.
#SRSIRAU #StarRydeSelfInsertRomanceAlternateUniverse

2/2 else, to release your book? Or release it one your own?"
Anna poured the whole liquid from the glass into her mouth. She pointed with the glas at the barkeep. "You know what? That's exactly what I will do!" She slammed her hand down on the bar counter, it crashed through the wood & was only stopped by a metal beam.
"Ah FORK! sorry... I didn't mean to <"
The Bethosian raised her hand
"No worry, we have insurance, but I guess you had enough. How about paying & showing THEM that the corps can't stop you?"
Anna made a very determined 'exactly that' face as she pointed with the glass in her hand towards the barkeep.
"How much do I owe you?"
The counter is on the house, the tip is free, the ten glasses are 20 Creds."
Anna waved her hand over her Holo, the bill showed up, with a slight circling motion of her hand she paid it.
"Absolutely worth the money, best apple juice I ever had."
The Barkeep smilled.

#SRSIRAU #StarRydeSelfInsertRomanceAlternateUniverse

582. What is something or someone that your SC takes pride in? How do they express that pride?

Mondira: more thankful than pride but a bit pride is their, being on board the Ghoz'Tarc, being part of this Union/Alliance Crew and mission as someone from the most adversary Rimworlds that usually dump all over the Union and where called upon by the Union as the least wanted ally.

Her Brother, who has a hard time fitting in, standing up to the family and still holding contact with his sister.

#PennedPossibilities 582. #StarRyde #MondiraRamann #writing #SciFi #WIP

583. Which of your characters are most likely to be activists, and what kind?

Most of them aren't but you could ask everyone on them why the Union is a great thing but that's it.

The thing is they trust the Union to best provide equality as needed, it doesn't make sense to grant a non oxygen breathing & water allergic species the human ground right to clean water. Sentient Skywhales don't need housing in the same way Terrans or Talithi need them. Instead their ground rights are tailored to their needs. As an example in contrast, a gender specific need is granted to the whole species, if someone don't need it's free sanitation products or similar they can spend them to whoever they feel like. This together with the war against the Eltaryn makes it relatively unlikely that people try to actively change stuff, however there are people but most likely outside of the military. Mayne Mondira could be considered one.

#PennedPossibilities 583 #StarRyde #worldbuilding #writing #SciFi #WIP

584. What is your antagonist’s / villain’s legacy? What do they want to be remembered for and what might they actually be remembered for?
Let's ask them.
AI:"Oh, if I gave you the impression, I wanted to be remembered, there is a quite big misunderstanding. What I do is the necessary, to ensure that the Union and others in this Galaxy will have a place & a future, by the means necessary."

AJ:"Isn't it quite an ironic question to ask a person with my level of memory fracture, what they would like to be remembered for? I will most likely don't remember it myself & honestly I don't give a moist, deranged swex. I will make them pay, I will ensure that they won't hurt anyone ever again, they will stop or end. That's a promise I gave & the one of the things I can remember!"

Eltaryn:
*Screeching, clicking, gorilla like screams that sound like they where recorded through a pipe*

#PennedPossibilities 584 #StarRyde #AntagonistInfernale #AntagonistJunior #AJ #AJohnson #writing #SciFi #WIP

585. Would your MC sacrifice something (of great importance) to save the life of someone they love?

Let's ask them.

Kira:"It would be a poor choice to sacrifice the future of the Union, the lives of citizens or non citizens to save a small amount of people. That said I hope I never have to make such a decision... But if my sacrifice would make sure that others survive I would consider it as long others don't have to carry my decision."

Arkham:"They asked me this as I enlisted, I agree en large with Kira, as the main pilot of the Ghoz'Tarc my decision influence the rest of the crew as long I don't risk their lives or their well being, I would sacrifice my life to save others especially the ones I hold dear."

Ashlei:"For such scenarios I am programmed to evaluate the costs & benefits. As the ships AI "my own" sacrifice would be less problematic as sacrificing "my" body. The ship needs to survive."

#PennedPossibilities 585 #StarRyde #KiraKnox #Arkham #Ashlei #writing #SciFi #WIP

586. MC POV: Talk about a moment where you felt proud of yourself?

Kira:"Pride isn't that what 'humans' in the rim call their weird superiority complex?"

Mondira:"With all do respect Captain don't tell me 'Terrans' don't feel pride, I heared a lot of swex about Terran and us 'Rimworlders' but you can't tell me that you got rid of basic human emotions last time I saw medical reports we where still the same species."

Kira:"That is partially incorrect, we share our DNA & our roots but culturally very distinct. For us that call themselves Terran we do this because we originated from a world that was dying thanks to humanity, thanks to wars, thanks to the Eltaryn. As mentioned before humanity is a tribal concept one we got rid off to better our selves & step up to the stars, to take a role as defenders."

Mondira:"I don't want to say it but in my eyes that's a superiority & empty pride talk if I ever heard one."

#PennedPossibilities 586 #StarRyde #KiraKnox #MondiraRamann #SciFi #WIP

587. How much does your SC value communication in their relationships and / or friendships? Are they prone to being misunderstood?

A lot.
In the Union open, honest & straight communication is the key. Little is "spoken through the flowers" (German Saying for a polite metaphor). All 6 core species had to learn this which was especially hard for the Asza'ni. Aszal their most native language is a language that in its style is more like a song or poem. It leans heavily on connotation & picture plus the right scent. A sentence like "feiend look a moon rise" would translate word for word into "my hunting mate feast your eyes upon the beautiful children of our benevolent forelders." And depending on the meaning the right amount of enzymes to create the right scent for the meaning. Aszatrell is the basic standardized combined language of the Asza'ni & the Trellwa'ni who don't communicate via scents.

588. What was your MC’s childhood like? How has their upbringing affected them as they’ve aged?

Sorry can't focus right now all my answers drifted around into nebulous meaning mumble or turned into rants about AI and Politics so since I already gave a brief overview on Word Weavers this month and an extensive dive into that topic at several occasions I link this months shorter answer here.

589. Do you use any writing tools or software?

2 Android phones & a Windows PC.
The old android phone, is my notepad the current I actually work on.
Libre Office on the PC & sadly I am stuck atm with 360 Co pilot (used Kingston Office before but it turned into add hell on my phone) libre Office doesn't run well on my phone for what ever reasons.
Co Pilot will surely be replaced with something different on my new phone. I bought an app called Solid Explorer for Android years ago because it is a real simple & powerful organizer/file explorer for Android that allows me to open two different tabs in landscape mode to drag and drop files between them. Because Android & it's iterations started to p][ss me of with their limitations. 360 Co Pilot it is only because the former 360 office ran well & didn't started to stutter while using it also the text to speech helps me to find typos. Can't tell how many times I listened to my WIP since last November.😅
