Happy STS! Tell me about the fathers in your work. Do you notice recurring themes in them? What are some of your OCs relationships with their dads?

Well a current theme is that they don’t exist

I suppose Finnigan (the kindly Irish-Nigerian fisherman who takes in Beth and her friends) counts as a father figure, but none of the SOLE Gang actually know their biological fathers.

Also, it’s not plot relevant, so I don’t know anything about them either.

Both of Ash’s parents are missing-presumed-dead, and while Zach’s father is still around I haven’t spent time developing his family yet so I have no info there.

And Nora hasn’t come out to her parents and doesn’t live with them anymore, so I haven’t thought about them either.

As much as “writer with daddy issues” is a trope, I’m starting to see where people get it from lmao

Happy Tender Tuesday! (I couldn't send this to your writeblr?) Tell me how your OCs cope with unrequited love. How do they channel their affections when their crush doesn't reciprocate?

this is a funny one because the whole book is a dumpster fire of mutual pining, but they don’t all know it. So under the assumption that their love may be unrequited, they uhh, just fucking Suffer

no but for real I don’t know. The same as anyone I guess; try and make their feelings known without actually being Obvious and Lame about it while watching for the tiniest hints that maybe the other person feels the same. 

sagittarius is an outlier because even if he’s sure someone doesn’t feel the same way about him he’s still a flirt, but it’s really not personal at that point - he’s just like that.

thanks for the ask!

Happy STS, Raev! Who was your first OC? What or who inspired them, and how have they evolved over time?

My very very first (that I can remember) was a self insert made to “fix” the end of the Susan Cooper’s The Dark Is Rising series. I wasn’t satisfied with the magic-kids-now-live-mundane-lives trope, so I made myself into a super magical kid that gave all the other kids their powers back and I married both the boy protags because apparently I’ve been polyam since before I even knew about dating XD

Hey, Pie! And Happy STS :) For any of your WIPs, has there ever been a major war? If so, what was it fought over? Who won? How does the outcome affect your characters today?

Hi! Thank you and to you too!

There aren’t any wars in the history of my WIPs! There might have been, but then they were irrelevant enough for me to not think about them. The only war is the very very weird one going on in The Five Senses. But it’s fought more behind the scenes! It’s neatly tied to the plot, so outcome and how it affects the characters are all part of the story!

Happy STS! Hope this doesn't find you too late :) Your OCs are at a multi-universe vampire convention; how do they interact with vamps from other stories & time periods?

"I heard the man over there mention that he goes to school with young humans. Isn't he hundreds of years old?"

"What is wrong with those people? They look dead."

"Their fangs are longer than mine..."

"These psychos believe in werewolves."

"SOMEONE JUST TURNED INTO A FUCKING BAT!"

"What kind of dumb idea is it that you can't go out in the sun? You'll burn? Wait, you'll glitter?!"

"Man, I miss the old days. I mean, I personally didn't have blood soaked orgies but I wish I had."
