I've been seeing an annoyingly common trend these days among younger artists. Don't DM people to ask for a commission. It's really bad form, not to mention impolite. If someone loves your artwork, they will ask you. Post on your profile, but don's spam.

Ok, two truths and a lie:
1. I have a credit on a rap album.
2. I’ve learned to play five different instruments in my life.
3. I’ve been on TV dressed as an alien.

Corporate-style icebreaker jump scare 😱: tell us a fun fact about you, the author!
This is meant to be fun, so if "fun facts" make you cringe, feel free to adjust this prompt. You could do two truths and a lie, or just give us a non-personal fun fact that brings you joy.

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 11/10 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Whipped up a batch of chili last night with hot peppers, tomatoes, & onions from the garden. Had to use store-bought pepperoni, as once again, the ones I planted failed to sprout. Mighty good with sweet cornbread.

Thanks trucker convoy, anti-vaccine youtube channels, thanks Facebook for not allowing legitimate news sources to be accessed by Canadians so that grifters could spread, and all of the prepper weirdos who thought the end times would be them against the world as opposed to caring about others.
It's official: Canada has lost its measles elimination status because of an outbreak that has persisted for more than 12 months. Country can regain status only if on-going spread is of measles interrupted for more than a year. www.cbc.ca/news/health/... via @cbcnews.ca

Does your character enjoy surprises? Or would they prefer that things be routine?
Would they enjoy a surprise party but prefer no dangerous surprises? Or do they crave the excitement, even when there is risk?

My world is an alternate Earth. I do, however, introduce Elves who have kept a barter economy from 2k years ago. My MC is hoping to introduce some of what her people benefit from back to Earth now that she's met her kin.
Authors and Gamemasters, today's world building question!
What is the economic structure of your world? Is there a prominent trade and barter system? Or is it more capitalistic?

I tend to write a lot about true loves or soulmates. Many of my characters fall in love with their high school sweethearts and never leave them.
I've only written one where it was love at first sight/soulmates where the characters where adults and had a past of dating around before finding the one.

Laurëa is generally a pacifist. She will fight to defend herself, but will only harm if she has to.
Rose, on the other hand, is a living weapon. When she loses her temper, she won't hesitate to kill. Even more deadly if she is protecting someone she loves.

How does your character feel about violence?
Are they a committed pacifist? Generally gentle? Dangerous if pushed too far? An unrepentant killer?
Does that change as the story progresses?
