One of the reasons Casablanca is such a brilliant movie is that many of the supporting roles were played by actors who had just fled Nazi Germany themselves. Like Ludwig Stössel and Ilka Grüning who play this charming German couple with terrible English. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPAc...
name a bit part in a film, played to perfection.

Greg used to dodge confrontations by just keeping his mouth shut. But now that he returns to the MMA world, he finds it harder to just ignore homophobic or transphobic remarks like he used to do. Especially when Mario or others from his new family are with him. #ServingVeronica
#QueerPrompts October 15: Spirit Day: How would your character(s) deal with homophobia/transphobia?

Well, for Greg that's obvious, he's a professional MMA fighter. Mario is not much of an athlete. He's a good team player, though. I can see him enjoying ultimate frisbee or beach volleyball or something like that. Veronica would probably enjoy figure skating or gymnastics the most. #ServingVeronica
Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters Your character is taking up a sport! Any sport you can think of, real or fictional. What do you think they would be best at? Consider: solo or team? Speed, endurance, strength or accuracy? ⚽🏀🎳🥎🏉🏈🏑🩰🏸⚾🏓🥍🏐 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Greg is more cautious than curious. He wants to know what's going on so that he can feel safe. Veronica on the other hand is very curious about the true feelings of people. She tends to pry and ask uncomfortable questions. #ServingVeronica
Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters As a curious person, I can't help but wonder: If your character curious? Are they always seeking answers? Driven to uncover the truth? Is it relevant to the plot? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Yes. Greg comes out not only as gay, but also as a masochist, which is bigger issue for him. He was always OK with being gay, he just didn't bring it up with his MMA friens. But being a masochist was something he didn't even fully admit to himself before he met Veronica. #ServingVeronica
#QueerPrompts October 11: National Coming Out Day: Do any of your characters come out in your story?
Veronica is very precise with the single tail and other impact play implements.😇 #ServinVeronica

Depends. If Greg is on his own, he'd probably go for the hot dog cart for convenience and efficiency. If Mario is with him, Mario is going to insist on 3). There's no way in hell Mario let's him eat fast food.🙃🌭👨🍳 #ServingVeronica
Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters Your character is in the modern world, money is no object. Where are they going to eat? 1) Michelin star restaurant 2) Casual dining place 3) Little known but amazing hole in the wall 4) Sidewalk hot dog cart #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Rachel and Sarah work as gardeners for Veronica. They don't live in the main house, but instead share a small, cozy cottage on the grounds. Rach is quite a bit younger than Sarah. They currently struggle with the decision if they want to have a child. Rach does, Sarah isn't sure. #ServingVeronica
#QueerPrompts October 8: International Lesbian Day: Lesbian character(s) or sapphic reading recs
From Greg's experience, plans tend to go to shit. So he rather takes things as they come. Veronica likes to be in control, so she usually has a plan, but she adapts to unexpected events quickly. Jen/Jens hate it when plans fail and things spin out of control. There could be tears. #ServingVeronica
Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters Does your character have a plan? Are they the type to have a multistage plan worked out in advance? Do they prefer to wing it? Or are they purely reacting to circumstances? Does their plan need to adjust over time? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

That no one judges him for a mistake he made in the past. He feels everyone should hate him for it or at least not respect him anymore, but actually, no one except himself gives a damn about it. They all think he did nothing wrong. #ServingVeronica
What’s something that your MC just can’t seem to be convinced of? #WritingPrompt
Not directly. I'm afraid, Veronica is a bit shallow in that respect. And greedy. She likes her boys beautiful on the outside as well as inside. Everyone at her place is exceptionally good-looking. #ServingVeronica

I write queer, polyamorous BDSM stories. 'Nough said.😂 (My books were rejected by all libraries, and it did not surprise me. I still think there should be an online library for naughty books somewhere).
#QueerPrompts October 4: Banned Books Week Begins: What might someone try to ban your story for having?
Greg lives at Veronica's, in a beautiful, modern mansion on the coast, just south of San Francisco. He loves it there, but somewhere deep inside he feels that he doesn't deserve it, that he needs to earn his own place somehow. #ServingVeronica
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters What is your character's living situation like? Do they have roommates? Pets? Live with family? Alone in a mansion? On the road? On a ship? Other? Are they happy where they are, or striving for something else? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Freaks - Du bist eine von uns (You're one of us) Not sure if this is even available in English. It's a German superhero movie on Netflix. It's sharp and incredibly funny. And it's mostly about how we as a society deal with people who are different from us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL7_...
Name a film more people should watch.
Greg would teach PE or coach a sport. Pierre would teach French (which would be fun, because he would teach all the naughty words), Jen/Jens would teach math and physics. He's really smart. Veronica? Not sure, but she would definitely bring a cane.😜 #ServingVeronica
#QueerPrompts October 5: World Teachers' Day: What subject would your character(s) teach?
Definitely Veronica's idea. Mario does the cooking, of course. He'd spend days in the kitchen, making sure to create something marvelous. Kay hates the idea. Jen bustles to clean even more thoroughly than usual, but it's Jens who'll come to the actual event. Dressed, for once. #ServingVeronica
Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters Hypothetical day! Your characters are hosting a dinner party! Whose idea was this? Is everyone on board? Who is doing most of the cooking? The organizing? The socializing? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
I always make a soundtrack for my book project, with music that fits the overall mood. Then I sort the titles into playlists which are either 60 or 25 minutes long and use the music as a kind of pomodoro timer when I'm writing.
What's something you do in your writing process that other people might find a bit odd, but it works for you? #WritingPrompt

I'm working on book 3 of my #ServingVeronica series. Former MMA fighter Greg has found his family in Veronica's kinky, queer household. But what, if he gets a chance to return to the cage? Can he balance a professional MMA career and life as an openly pansexual masochist?
