*climbs in through the window* *sets up a chair in front of the previous interviewer, facing Cosmo*

Cosmo, putting away his pie tin and oven mitts, pauses mid-movement. He watches you curiously.

Okay, my turn. *pulls out notepad and pen* I am here to interview your brother.

“Oh. Okay.” He takes off his mitts and waves them at you as he…[Read more]

Why did I read Ellis’ voice in a British accent when you’re the one who is supposed to hear British accents from my characters

Who I am doesn’t really matter. I’m just here to interview you. I promise, anything you say will be kept secret.

How would you describe yourself in three words?

Who is your best friend?

What do you think i…[Read more]

@beth-torres I am so sorry for abandoning the interview we had going a while ago. I completely forgot about it until now

@whalekeeper

Ellis: “Yes, alright. I am not busy at the moment. Who are you?”

@whalekeeper

*climbs in through the window* *sets up a chair in front of the previous interviewer, facing Cosmo*

Okay, my turn. *pulls out notepad and pen* I am here to interview your brother.

@loopylin

You’re Ellis Stormwatcher, aren’t you? We were both sent here so I can ask you a few questions. I hope you don’t mind if I do that.

@liberty

I’m just doing some stuff at community college, to get basic classes out of the way. Spanish has been a little time-consuming but it’s fun!

@elishavet-pidyon @power

You two understood the assignment!! This is exactly the stuff I want.

This is a lovely smorgasbord of information. I’m taking notes. I will be back to look at this again and look all of this up. Absolutely delightful replies.

@whalekeeper

This is delicious. *savors the aroma of randomness* I love this story idea already. Leaning into crazy traditions and stuff is a great idea!

…

Sorry, this will be a lot.

Thank you for the ideas! I will add them to the list. Naming pets is a little harder than I remember it being. It’s been a while since I had some of my own. All of your suggestions are spiffing little names, indeed.

I also welcome your favorite tropes. Tell me what interests you.

I’m tagging a bunch of you. Firstly, I doubt you will be offended, and secondly, I have free will. (You may ignore, of course.)

A lot of you write or read about fantastical…[Read more]

Tavar

“Neurological science?” Saying the term, even imitating Bryce’s accent when he did, didn’t help. “I don’t know the term, although it sounds like the words used in one of my books. Let’s see…”

Tavar closed his eyes, envisioning the word, changing the alphabet around until it fit. Eyes flashing open, he ran a finger over the…[Read more]

THEY’RE SO CUTE! So fluffyyyyyy…..

Ummm….

Biblical names: Paul & Silas

Bookish names: Remi & Sticky; Martin & Mathias (or Mathias & Matemeo); Sir Percival; Gumpus; Whitby & Picket;

Others: Wiggles & Grumps; Pumpkin & Marshmallow;

Sebster & Hugo; Moth & Merlin/Cosmo/Whatever the names of the other boys…

@koshka @loopylin

Moth

“Please, listen to me,” Moth whispered to the third arrow as he pulled it back.

He supposed he must stop imagining anything sometimes. Why did every single object and living thing siphon off Moth’s mind? It was deeply bothersome.

He had to resist getting worked up and listen to Ari’s advice. He took a deep breath a…[Read more]

I think Dark Boi will have much longer and fuzzier hair than Light Boi, because I suspect he’s a Lunkarya. We shall see.

I got some guinea pigs yesterday. :] Does anyone have any name suggestions? They’re both boys.

@elishavet-pidyon

Like yes, I had just texted my sister saying that the character was the most romantic figure in modern literature

I love this rant about your specific relationship to this fictional character and how you perceive him in specific instances. 😂 Oh goodness

@beth-torres @loopylin

Unfortunately no, I don’t have more. I want a window box, but I don’t know how that would actually fit in my window since I live in a college dorm.

Tavar

He shrugged, a frown creasing his forehead.

“To be honest, I do not know. If I had not just been reading about the value of food to one’s inward strength, I may have…[Read more]

@beth-torres

Oof I kinda dropped off the face of the earth there.

Yesss. That would be so cool to see miniature roses everywhere! Unfortunately, the pot I ordered initially was too damaged to use so I have to get another. Hopefully my little rosy will wait that long. 😅 So far my characters have largely escaped the obsession… Except that Tavar…[Read more]
