nebulos#PennedPossibilities 668 — Tell us how self and socially aware some of your SCs are. Are these two things connected in any way for them?

RS, Author, Novelist, ProsaistWhilst I try to only rarely cross-announce on the various writer challenge game hashtags I frequent, I'm doing so because March 30th, today, I am answering questions asked of me on Talk To Me Day hosted by Scribes and Makers.

Collins<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/PennedPossibilites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PennedPossibilites</a> 623 In theory, what would be your SC’s weapon of choice?There aren't so many weapons on Ardonna. Mages are born weapons so don't need anything external. Same with most other forms of life. If you do find any, it would be among humans, particularly in the Dragon Age. The queen of Sharren likes her sword, which marks her as a threat to some people when she visits Quenelle.

In theory, what would be your SC’s weapon of choice?Atosho used both guns and stilettos in the war. She's practical enough to prefer guns; close-quarter fights between women are generally over quickly. Whoever makes the first mistake gets stabbed, and zapped. At that point, they're out of the fight - usually because they're dead.<a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/ScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScienceFiction</a> <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/TimeTravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TimeTravel</a>

MC or SC POV: Where did you grow up?The small town of Emerald Bay. It gets some tourism in the summer and was founded by pirates who went legit when the King decided to point them at his enemies and rewarded them with land.

RS, Author, Novelist, ProsaistIntro Post 2/2 I sometimes write "sample stories" directly. While hashtags may prompt me, I've also had ideas that want out and complain if I repress them. I use this as an excuse to write side stories or explore characters. Part of why I am on Mastodon is introduce myself as an author who is actually writing."Being chatty," is usually off-topic from writing. This includes politics, things I've read, photos, or discussing other art and creative endeavors I've discovered thanks to my followers and feeds. I make a point of promoting other author's books and publications when I see them by boosting. which I consider being both collegial and friendly. I boost especially creative artwork, also, and critique when I think my opinion might prove useful to the artist.Below are spotlight sample stories and posts. There are plenty others that you can look for after you read these. I am writing two sets of stories right now. Inklings is a fantasy romance about a woman named Wintereyes who has befriended wolves. And squirrels. And dragons.... Hashtag: <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSInklingsStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RSInklingsStory</a>. I am also writing a few stories in what I call the Reluctance series. Hashtag <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSReluctanceStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RSReluctanceStory</a>. Reluctant Accomplice is half-complete and I am starting a short story Reluctant Father right now. The Reluctance series is SF in a universe with a few extra natural laws (that are "reluctant") in which humans have been reengineered and interstellar travel is in the background. For reasons of not wanting to explain things to the Mastodon audience, I use terms like "magic" that aren't used the mainline stories. "Day angels" and other types of people are mentioned, but you'll have to pick up what they are from context, if you can, where it matters. I won't explain my jargon. After reading enough stories, you'll catch the drift. One main character, referred to as the "devil-girl" is a recurring character, as is the main antagonist (provisionally named "Director Rainy Days") who's the protagonist of her own stories.

RS, Author, Novelist, ProsaistCW: Intro Post 1/2Note: Updated for use as a link for friends and pinning.Most of my current web presence as an author is on Mastodon under the handle <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@sfwrtr</a>. To view my profile, click this link: <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/deck/@sfwrtr" translate="no" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://eldritch.cafe/deck/@sfwrtr</a>What follows is TL;DR detail explaining Mastodon and how it works. There are clickable links at the end of the second part of this post, but knowing how to drive the car is far better than being buckled into the child seat...Mastodon is organized around "feeds" and "toots." A toot is the same thing as a post on Facebook, eX-Twitter, or other social media, and is a term used interchangeably. It is a single unit of information that might also contain images. A feed is a list of posts with the most recent at the top. My profile is a feed of my posts. Common feeds are: "Local," posted by account on the "instance" server hosting my account. "Global," all feeds accessible at the time (aka federated)."Home," which is customized and discussed below. Other than your home feed, you don't see these feeds unless you click on a button to see them. Unlike eX-Twitter, Mastodon has no algorithm. Instead, you have a home feed, which shown by clicking a home-shaped button. This feed is customized by you by "following" the account handles of other people you are interested in. For example, you can follow me <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@sfwrtr</a>. It's done by clicking their handle, which is a link, and clicking Follow. You can also choose to follow keywords, called hashtags. These are also links and begin with a hash/pound-sign. Readers are most interested in hashtags commonly used by others. When you follow a hashtag and another user's post includes a hashtag in the text, that post shows up in your home feed. I commonly use the following hashtags because of my interests and with whom I wish to communicate: <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#author</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fiction</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sf</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sciencefiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sciencefiction</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fantasy</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/romance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#romance</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writersOfMastodon</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingCommunitity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writingCommunitity</a>.Because Mastodon has no algorithms, and it exists in reaction to commercialism, trolling, and the hostile environment of eX-twitter, you will find things called content warnings. You'll see CW: text. You'll see a "See More" button. You'll see images marked as sensitive. CWs exist. You can make what you want of it, but ought consider using them in your posts for sensitive topics that might bother others. Click to reveal or hide things. You can mute threads so sets of posts are hidden. You can block hashtags: block <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#uspol</a> for example if you don't want to see posts about US politics. You can block people, for obvious reasons.A person's profile is a separate feed. It includes volunteered information. I have pinned some representative posts that always remain at the top. These introduce me and include a few posts in which I list sample stories. Below that you will find my most recent posts, reply posts, posts of other people I have favorited, and posts that I have boosted. By boosting a post, I redirect it so it shows up in the feeds of people who follow me. It's how we share on Mastodon. You will also find a list of my followers, people who receive in their feeds whatever things I post.Although you can read what I've written publicly (most of it is tagged as public), I recommend signing up for your own account. I will provide an invite to my friends so as to make that process as simple as possible. Ask me for this.My writing output can be classified into three categories: Hashtag responses, sample stories, and being chatty."Hashtag responses," also called hashtag games or challenges, are responses to questions or prompts. Some of them like <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writersCoffeeClub</a> and <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/wordWeavers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wordWeavers</a> are posted en masse at the beginning of the month. Another, <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/pennedpossibilites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pennedpossibilites</a>, is posted daily. I try to answer them on a daily basis. I use them to think through characters, writing technique, plot, or as a way to provide advice to writers. Sometimes the hashtags prompt me to write as one of my characters, or may result in my writing a small story. My account is hosted on an instance server that allows me to "toot" 5000 characters. Most others are restricted to 500. I can use the limit to write around 800 words; sometimes I do. 800 makes for a concise short story.

While I do not shy from profanity entirely, I shall not bore you with the ones I hurled at him.The offers of wealth, of favors in return came, but those were equally uninteresting.Nor will I bore you with his begging, nor the threats he devolved into once begging failed. The only thing I can say about the man is that he no longer has the ability to bother necromancers with his requests. Nor to bother anyone else."

(3/4)Instead, I followed him to a hotel room.We sat there, and I could see him shaking his elbows were on his knees, and his head hung. I told him to take it slow, tell me about his loved one. He looked up at me, and I could see the fire of ugliness in his eyes.He told me a name, said she was the most important thing in the entire world. I did not recognize it, and asked who she was to him. He said she was his true love. I knew I would not leave that room in a good mood by the rapture on his face. I asked again who she was, his wife his girlfriend?He said 'not yet'.I demanded an explanation. She was a singer. She had died during the plague, before she had 'a chance to love me'. He burst like a rotten melon and spewed his sickness. How he wanted her back, to be his, to stay with him forever. He had done his research and wanted her bonded to him. He wanted an undead slave with her full mind.

(2/4)The first of those instances was in 1999. We had recently weathered a magically generated plague that decimated the Appalachians, and rendered extinct our local crypto-hominids, the Tennessee Wild Men. It had been only months since the last of the dead had been buried. I had helped as best I could, as a medic, and by giving the living and the dead a chance to say goodbye.It was not surprising to find someone that had taken the time to hunt me down and make a call requesting my services. Word had spread, and I had told a few people how to contact me.A meeting was set, and I drove into Kentucky for it. I sat down at the coffee shop we had agreed to join up before moving somewhere more private to discuss the necessary details. The man that approached was nondescript, but had a feverish look to him. My instincts said to leave. My compassion ignored them. I do have that, you know. Compassion.

RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist<blockquote><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/PennedPossibilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PennedPossibilities</a> 357 — MC POV: Tell us about one of your bad habits.</blockquote>Well, I'm... um... People around me know that I am very encouraging and equitable, distributing assignments on merit, listening to suggestions, reprimanding fairly, and demonstrating when necessary. I do tend to observe and evaluate everything. Thankfully, what I think, uh... emotionally in the moment, or angrily or in disappointment, doesn't leak out to effect how I treat people or change my decisions. I know better. Except when I have to deal with stupid. I have some tolerance for people who tease me, less for people who harass me for their own benefit, and almost none for those who work to provoke me—assuming I don't have to tolerate such treatment for the sake of my people or my objective.When that happens, the snark inside leaks out. I wield my vocabulary like a weapon, which is better than using a fist. I remember this one time a guy wolf-whistled me. When he took exception to my ignoring him, he followed me, taunting me, doing everything from spewing a running commentary for his companions on my "curves," and lack thereof, to trying to lift my skirt. I acted stupid, bubbly even to diffuse his interest—but I was trained enough to be faster at dodging than him grabbing. Made him try harder. I'm afraid my retorts, while sounding stupid, had vocabulary above his head. When he asked my name, I said, "Gelding." Then told him, "It's a verb."He understood that one. Not happy. Angry. Red faced. Made me grin. Fortunately, he'd followed me into the territory of a rival gang. That I used my "magic" to push them together and start a fist fight made the evening all the more amusing! That led to more fun with his girlfriend who took exception to me somehow beguiling him in the first place. My fault, huh? Really?
