Whooooa did you make this? This is incredible!

Thank YOU ^.^

Where is the best way to begin with your work?

No pressure haha

Where can I find your other interview projects? Just search you on yt, or...?

I can't afford any cons this year, but do you ever do like... online panels/interviews/reading parties with fantasy authors or rpg-tubers?

"Once upon a moonful night..." Moonthread (START HERE)

(if the link is funny, this one should work... gotta fix that link...)

I've been working on the series for about 4 years! ^.^

And yeah! The first book is out and free to read at

I'm very very proud of Nala, as a character. She has 3 trilogies— getting power, as a kid and young adult, then a trilogy as an adult, then a trilogy as a sage.

Wow! In that case, I'd say you're a natural
^.^

Anybody into 8bit music?

I wrote this as "LVL Music" for chapters and myths in my fantasy story, which is about 11 year old ORCS with emotion magic.

(tbh I'm just excited to have a good sountrack to write book 2 to haha)

Do you listen to music when you make stuff?

Wanna hear me read my raw fantasy story?
It's about orcs with emotion magic, and when the magic happens it turns into poetry!
youtu.be/eDirJYa2mBk?...

(Fair warning— I have LITERALLY ZERO ability for marketing haha. Who's this for? No clue. I'm just here to make up weird stuff that makes me smile.)

This is basically the first plot point in Nala's story haha

I love it

Sooooo epic.

How long have you been making books?

Including Seuss! haha

Ahhhh so cool. And it really shows that you have XP in this! Lots of nuance to appreciate.

Nala is my core character in my 31 book series ^.^ She's an orc with emotion magic, from the goddess of moon and shadows and merging. Her whole thing is she's got absolute power, but she's gentle to a fault.

I love her books!

Archetypal Character Arcs helped me structure my trilogy of trilogies, and her latest book is where I learned about chiasmatic structure.

She's a high key hero of mine haha.

What outlining structure do you use?

Sooooo good. I also love that it's a darkness druid!

Nala learns her shadow magic also gives her some greenthumb spells in Book 5....

Sorry! Distracted.

@maryofbears.bsky.social— this is amazing! So many details that I love. How long have you been making illustrations?

wait wut

Yeah, structure is important! haha

Do you outline?

Hey thanks, SM! ^.^

I'm looking forward to making some custom caster classes for the world.... hehehe
>:)

Yeahhhhh I love "push it" mechanics, and I think that absolutely nailed it with the Talent!

Interesting! They're definitely different muscle groups, so to speak.

Did you begin more naturally as a drafter, or an editor?

This is happiness.

I honestly can't believe how good this art is.

Wow!

I would kill for a... "Coolest character deaths at the table" panel.

Or even "Did I ever tell you about that character?" stories from experienced players and DMs. I wanna hear about peoples' characters! Their deaths and their victories, and their backstories.

I'd binge the living smut outta that.

Writing is WAY better than editing...

Is that a hot take? I feel like it's a pretty obvious, maybe even tepid take...

But yeah, especially getting 3500 words in?! Epic. Do you tend to average high word counts like that?

Personally, I'm all over the place with word counts haha

I certainly do!

The whole book is free ^.^ And! there are already some pretty awesome artists who have been making Nala, which is... it makes me...

Ah. It's so cool. It's so wild to me.
