Share your favorite fact about your story.

No real fun fact about my world weaving but to misuse a part of an gorillaz song, that is, in case of fictional stories, indeed an awesome fun fact:

02.06.2026 What’s the biggest challenge you’re facing with your current project?

Writing on it and not bloating the first chapter further...
My depressions wheren't especially kind this year and May always gets a bit harder, and a lot of my tech beaking wasn't helpful either.
I'm sure I have some backup of my writing somewhere but my Backup hard drive breaking before I could replace it, scrambled at least my easy access.

My mind is in a skip mood, can't handle, skip, don't want to think about, skip, stuck in mid story, skip...
Which is bad for my writing, it makes it a cluttered, chaotic thing.
And than their is this multiverse spawning in my head for over a year now, same characters different lives and I haven't even finished chapter 2 of my "start" story.

Well at least my mood is getting better lately.

Is your MC a good cook? Any special dishes?

Kira loves to cook and her Family Chilli is superior to that of her mum (the ice queen), her sister's and even her dad's (not that this matter much anymore). She clearly inherited her cooking skills from her biological family plus the nose for details from her second family.

It's ironic that, with her skills, she is the one that almost always comes back to unrefined Enzyme Printer Liquid (EQuil is basically printer ink & if you ask others unrefined it tastes exactly like that, if they would know what printer ink was).
She regularly cooks for the whole crew & it's one of the reasons most of the crew really appreciate her, because she doesn't simply cook one pot, she takes the little spare time she has left, as an acting captain, to create a dish for all different ways people prefer to eat & even organizes the ingredients herself if it is possible, bitter sweet ->

<- irony that she is on the brink of an hard eating disorder, the only thing keeping her stomach from loosing its digestion ability for solid food are her cooking, if she eats with the crew (often she doesn't just keeping around) and her beloved honey toast.

Arkham she owns a restaurant... Place... And it's interior but she is more of an take out person and finds the refined EQuil good enough.
And she only owns it do to the fact she helped someone out.
She knows her way around some foods but you wouldn't call it spectacular or even... "Good™"
She is basically the 24. Century noodlesoup student.

Ash as an AI knows all possible meals saved in her vaste data bank and you could call it cooking to print a perfect nurturing meal in the exact condition you wish it (or being able to communicate it to the computer).
Thanks to Kira's memories she made vast improvements taste wise.

04.06.2025 Describe the mood of the opening paragraph of your story using 3 adjectives.

Rant:
For some reason my brain always spits out nouns if someone ask me for adjectives, or similar stuff. It is always "no not yet instead" am I just so "anti" or do I have some sort of disorder? Geez. Focus.
Rant over.

dusty
hot
dry

What would your first chapter smell like?

I guess is meant as a mood description help and not the actual smell because than I wouldn't want anything else than paper, glue and printer ink aka the smell of new books.

For mood picturing

- Hot desert sand
- the smell of human exhaustion (it's different from normal sweat or day old sweat)
- Hot Linens, if you come to close
- Hover machinery, used vehicle interior, old Roadside motels and offices
- suffocating Cinnamon.
- Food, hot, spicy & umami (peoples noses can pick up a lot)
- Shower gel and bodylotion.
- Saltwater.
- Hospital rooms.
- Burning Metals.

What object would you use to represent the sensory feel of your story?

An unknown Error has occurred. Mind.exe does not work correctly anymore. Please close all thinking processes and reboot Brain.

A book? Softcover recycling paper.

"Sensory feel" is oddly phrased for me, but it would be touch, it could be taste but only if you lick the book and asked for sensory taste, main sensory input is via the eyes but nothing in the eyes feels?
Sorry, I'm confused and even after reading different answers my brain struggles with this task.

Maybe a digital reading device?😅

Antagonist POV: If you were an animal, which one?

AI: An owl.

AJ: A wolf who lost it's pack or a street dog... At least that's how it feels most of the times.

08.06.2025 If you have more than one story, what’s your best one & why? If only one, what’s the best part?

Ehm if I don't count in my baffling amount of GM only stories in which I wrote way to much stuff for the GMs of RPGs only to share it with some players I have to say Star Ryde.
Nacht des Mahrs is my cursed one. 3 (maybe 4) completely losses and restarts since my teenage years...
Star Ryde and it's possible spin offs and multiverse variants like Star Ryder (same universe from the view of a bounty hunter in the rim territory), Star Tyde the space cruise Story in which everything resolves around hotel/motel works and new roles for known characters from the Star Ryde universe. Also Star Ryde produced so many ideas that I don't want to write into the script that I can use it for my own parody on the space opera/science fiction genre (WIP Name Galaxy Glyde).
Sadly I forgot my idea from this morning. I thought it sounds fun...
