#ScribesAndMakers April 26. #TTMD What is a common trope you both love and hate (or hate that you love) and why? ---- I’ll give you two: Omegaverse. I have such mixed feels over this. It started as a werewolf thing, and I was reading all the werewolf romances around the time it became popular, so I found it pretty quick. I’ve seen some really good and interesting things done with the trope, but so, so much of it is ‘we want to have our sexism but make it gay.’ And then people started piling ‘fated mate’ trope on top, and I just… yeah, noped out for a few years. I’ve recently started reading a bit of it again, most in platonic fanfic that emphasized the family/pack aspect without the romance. The Good King. I have a whole essay about the problems with this one: https://jessmahler.com/the-good-king-makes-a-good-fantasy/ At the same time, I admit I love the stories where the rightful heir returns or the true king faces down the great evil. I think the appeal is ultimately the same as with superhero stories – the idea of people in power doing something good with it, and the ability to project ourselves as the people with power doing the right thing. @willelm@indieauthors.social

#ScribesAndMakers @QuasiTemporal@wandering.shop hasn't come in to "officially" close out #TTMD, but I'm getting ready for bed, so thanks to everyone who joined in today. Mythpunk definitely generated a lot of interest, and as always, there were plenty of great questions and fascinating responses. Thank you @NaraMoore@sakurajima.moe for spending your birthday with us and talking with us about your creativity!

Does your writing style stay the same across genres you write, or does each genre have its own style for you? @NaraMoore@sakurajima.moe #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD

@floofpaldi@mindly.social 2/2 I do my best to base their “wolf” behavior on actual wolves. That means, a pack is basically a family, and their hunting is also realistic. Many wolves eat a lot of mice and rats, it’s not all a glorious hunt. As Alice finds out in Book 5, eating rats is not always safe, however...

@floofpaldi@mindly.social "How does the full moon affect your wolf's behavior, or do you give them control over their transformations?" The moon does not affect my wolves, so yes, they have full control over their transformation. It’s why I never call them werewolves (they don’t like that term, either). Instead, they are always “wolf shifters” in my world. It also means they really look like normal wolves, not giant ones or the TV werewolves. 1/2 #ScribesAndMakers #TTMD #WolfShifter

#ScribesAndMakers #TTMD @Firlefanz@writing.exchange It's your day!! 🥳 Hope it's going great. Just waking up here, but I can actually think of 2 questions: (1) I've wondered why you decided to set your wolf books in the American south. Do you have some attachment or connection to the area? (2) I see on your website that you're starting to delist from Amazon. I'm pondering that as well & not planning to list any more of my work there. What site do you find best for sales?
