Thank you for the Ask, @liv-is!

💬Share your crunchiest bit of dialogue; include zero context.

I don't know what crunchy means in this situation, I'm assuming it means either "very good dialogue I'm proud of".

"What did you do?" Innara asks a twinge of terror in her words. [...] Elyren looks at the bones, unmoved, and scoffs. "I did what I had to do! If I hadn't done what I did -" He pats the pile with the tip of his boot "This Imperial thug would have cut off your head. I would expect a bit of thankfulness - after all, I just saved your life from decapitation and spared your boyfriend that very bloody and traumatic sight, whenever he comes looking for you."

🗯️What do you think is the most divisive or controversial aspect of your WIP?

Wow, uh, I don't know. There are a lot of dark themes explored in the book in some very specific scenes (war, prejudice, harassment, etc.), but such is the role of Dark Fantasy in general, to criticize harsh realities in an exaggerated yet clearer manner. I don't really know how to give a clear answer to this one.

✨What is one totally unique thing that sets your WIP apart from the other stories?

I usually don't do this, lol, because I find it a bit awkward to compare creative works but since I have to answer this question then I would say: The worldbuilding and character relationships, I guess. I'm very proud of the world I created for The Last Wrath, and I consider it rather unique compared to some other stories that I like. I try to subvert expectations/tropes naturally when it comes to character relationships, and am very proud of the current result!

Reblog and put in the tags that ONE video game series you’ve played more than any other

Happy Storyteller Saturday! Today I'll send two questions (which are connected):

Question 1 - Imagine that your characters enter a magic labyrinth that shows them their biggest dream (s) come true. What do they see? Is their dream something they can achieve in real life?Question 2 - In the same labyrinth, your characters enter a room that puts them face to face with (an illusion of) the person they hate the most or their worst fear. How do they react? Are they able to put up a fight against the illusion or do they need to be rescued? How do they feel in the aftermath of the confrontation?

Happy STS, Mystic!

Imagine that your characters enter a magic labyrinth that shows them their biggest dream (s) come true. What do they see? Is their dream something they can achieve in real life?

HOHOHO! Bold of you to assume something like this doesn't exist in AASOAF lore already hehe. I can't go into what they see because it's kind of spoilers so excuse my vague-ing on this question 😅

In the same labyrinth, your characters enter a room that puts them face to face with (an illusion of) the person they hate the most or their worst fear. How do they react? Are they able to put up a fight against the illusion or do they need to be rescued? How do they feel in the aftermath of the confrontation?

Ooo okay so one of the big themes in AASOAF is personal growth, so to answer this question, if I were to drop any of the characters into something like this at the start, they would all need to be rescued even if they don't think they do. Predictably they'd all feel defeated and extremely fearful. At the core of each character is a single, but very real, fear that drives them forward and pushes them to do things to soothe that feeling. The goal is at the end, that when put in the same situation they would be able to overcome on their own based on what happened throughout the series and the people they've met along the way.

These questions are for worlds with magic in them 🔮

💛 Send this to ten bloggers you think are wonderful. Keep the game going! I hope you're having a beautiful day darling, sending lots of love your way! 💛

Oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much for sending this, @conkers-theficwriter! This made my day, seriously! (And right back at you, you're a wonderful writer and an amazing blogger!) 💕

The thing I remember you most for is the tragic backstory of Nethen and Elain, and how it relates to the relations between elves and humans in general in your world!

Thank you, @clairelsonao3! I love that part of my WIP, and among the many backstories of The Last Wrath, it is one of the most compelling -despite its tragic nature. Also, I love using backstory as a storytelling tool to bring forth worldbuilding, so I am glad to hear that my attempts to do this paid off! (As in, I'm glad Elain and Nethen's past showcases the relationships between their species in Agrannor, as such is the intention of their story!)

I'm very happy that you remember this part of the story so vividly and that you liked this backstory! (:
