    Elven race / elves - what do you like about them?

    My elves are sort of aliens. After an exceedingly long time, can turn into living stars who send holographic projections of themselves to interact with the wide interstellar neighbourhood, or multi-limbed [mostly friendly] eldritch dragonfolk, depending on what other parts of their life cycle...

    Lost troglodyte

    Welcome to Mythic Scribes! There's lots of people from all over to talk about writing. If you'd like some recommendations for other authors to check out, here's some of my favourites: Terry Pratchett [satirical British humour with puns, wordplay, and references galore; most well known for his...

    Is it odd that my Kitsune can 'talk' to regular foxes?

    Not odd at all. A fair amount of stories I can think of involving kitsune have them communicating with ordinary foxes without really drawing attention to it. [Presuming that you mean from an out-of-universe perspective, as whether it's odd in-universe is entirely up to you.]

    Have you been to a convention (any kind) and met a famous person you cared about?

    Finally got around to that list. Terry Pratchett Ursula Le Guin Diana Wynne Jones Kevin Conroy Leonard Nimoy Becky Chambers Kenneth Oppel David Tennant Terry Farrell the entire team of SuperGiant games Concerned-Ape [Eric Barone]

    Have you been to a convention (any kind) and met a famous person you cared about?

    I've been to Fan Expo and Comic Con a couple times, but never went to any panels or got anyone's autograph. The closest I got was getting a picture next to a cardboard-cutout of David Tennant. There's a small list of people I would like to meet in-person, but assembling that list will have to wait.

    Do you play any 'Cozy' games?

    The cost of the Switch 2 is just too much to justify buying it for one game [or two, given that Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave is coming out later this year]. Maybe in a few years, there'll be more games that I want that are Switch 2 exclusive. At the very least, it's fun to see other people...

    Do you play any 'Cozy' games?

    I've played Stardew many times [the beach farm is my favourite], along with Roots of Pacha and Rune Factory 3 and 4. I'd love to play Pokopia, but the chance of a Switch 1 release is exceedingly low.

    Have you ever 'swooned' for a fictional character?

    I've had a 15 year long attraction to Alucard [the Castlevania one, not the Hellsing one], and there's plenty of other pretty androgynous characters that I like, but that's as far as it goes. Hang out and bake desserts for them? Admire them? Absolutely. But I don't want to date any of them.

    How to 'kill' the he said/she said habit?

    Just don't fall into the Redshirts trap of using 'said' so much it doesn't even sound like a word after a while.

    What are you top fifteen Favorite Novels / Series?

    I might have to cheat and put several books under one author. In no particular order: Earthsea series, The Left Hand of Darkness, The Telling, Western Shore trilogy [Ursula Le Guin] Dogsbody, Fire and Hemlock, The Dark Lord of Derkholm, House of Many Ways, Deep Secret, The Merlin Conspiracy...

    What are you top fifteen Favorite Novels / Series?

    Only 15! This will require some serious thinking. Ban I've heard good things about Solaris. Would you recommend any of Stanislaw Lem's other books?

    My "Warm" Welcome to Reddit Where Decency is a Crime and AI-Phobia is a Religion

    I lurk on various subreddits [mostly involving games, books, and topics that interest me, such as space or paleontology], but I'll never make an account.
