    What the fuck is happening with monster girl evolution stories on RR??

    Could have been a contest ran on a writing website or discord, and all those people just ran with it, maybe? I have seen similar writeathons happening on the servers I hang out around.

    How many sites is your story on?

    SH, RR by my own hands. More, courtesy of scrapers.

    Annoying, Unsolicited Advertisement of Services

    It wouldn't be nearly as insulting if it was a real artist genuinely excited about your work. But it's such a low-efforr, copy-pasted answer, offering AI images you already could get for free. It's bullshit.

    Why Gender bender?

    I have a FtM character in my main novel, and he's beloved and popular. There is a clear demand for more stories featuring FtM folks, too. Believe me, people will read it.

    Who are the main antagonists in your novel?

    I mean, Neva's story was MEANT to be a self-indulgent piece of writing, and it was instrumental in a personal awakening, so it did its job. "me" being found in the rest of my characters is simply a function of writing people doing things the only way I know how to do things. It's normal, I...

    Who are the main antagonists in your novel?

    I mean, you're not wrong. Nivi in AIWWTGASAL10LEE is extremely me-coded. The MC in Neva Masquerade is literally me. And the protagonists in State of the Art are absolutely inspired by people I know (including myself)

    Who are the main antagonists in your novel?

    Antagonists...? Most of the stakes in my novels are internal. The main antagonist tends to be the MC's internal demons.

    When did your story start to pick up an audience?

    State of the Art is about 8 months old on this site now, and I have a pretty active and enthusiastic readerbase who comment regularly, which is great. I am certainly not in the same range as the 1million+ views from the most popular stories, but I think I do fairly well for a new author. My...

    Why Gender bender?

    I think for many authors of GB stories, it's a way to explore their own complicated feelings about gender. There are so many authors who discovered they were trans as they wrote a story, possibly because of how relatable their MC's experience is to them. Then there are trans folks who write...

    If you're going to confess your love to someone, what would your OST be?

    Can't think of anything more appropriate than Wind Nocturne.

    Do every race have the same brain?

    Hopefully your vampires have endoskeletons, like humans, instead of exoskeletons... Because you know, exoskeletons are like bugs or crabs, with the "bones" exposed to air. But yeah, the brains of, say, a catgirl and human, would technically be somewhat distinct. After all, it would have to...

    As an author, how do you feel when you reread your novels?

    Complete aside, but I went to see this with a friend when it came out (I was 16 back then!) And while I enjoyed the movie, it was a pretty awkward experience seeing it at the theater. I have been lead to believe the same happened to many who watched The Watchmen at the theaters (I enjoyed...

    As an author, how do you feel when you reread your novels?

    Cringe. The most uncontrollable amount of cringe. The older the story, the more I cringe.

    Do you all come up with new names for month and days?

    I did! It's based on the elements and the 16 gods in my world. I made a lunar calendar of it: https://nivicare.com/arra/LunarCalendar.png

    Where do You Source Your Protagonist's Design?

    According to that theory, and looking at my cast of disfunctional characters, I am worried about what that says about me xD

    Where do You Source Your Protagonist's Design?

    Nivi's struggles with self-worth are my own. Writing episodes where she spirals into depression is so easy, because I just have to put on paper the kind of shit my own brain pulls on me all the time. Pretty much all my characters are reflections of something inside me, amalgated with ideas...

    Shorter, snappier synopsis, or longer and more detailed?

    Oh hello Dana, fancy seeing you here! Your synopsis makes me think of a short story I have sleeping on my google drive somewhere. Reading it, I was wondering if it would be interesting to flip the perspective to Sheam rather than Daelus? Something like: Writing this made me realise: Is Sheam...

    Which Category do Your Novels Fall Into?

    100% morale premises. Everything I write is always about the same truth, one that I had to learn, and I am compelled to share. It's a simple one, really: You're enough.

    Are you still using the 3-act structure in composing a chapter?

    I don't really think of it as the three-act structure, but I often have one particular thing I want to talk about each chapter. So it stands to reason it gets introduced and we see some kind of resolution by the time the chapter is over. However, it's all me just winging it and following my...

    Your Works in Fandom

    Huh, my book is there! First time one of my story shows up on an aggregator website, weee. I don't make any money off of it, so I am fine with it getting distribured around. They even include my paypal link, which is unexpected. I wonder if anyone is actually listening to / reading it there...
