Not particularly. The best I've got is one of the living starships making some falsified images of scenes about the ship. But that's not for mischief, that's to throw off a hit squad! #timetravelauthors

As befitting space opera, Lonely Ship is FULL of found families! The diverse crew of the living ship Rune Carrier, drawn together by shifty recruitment practices and circumstance, forge a powerful bond across the series, with each other and their ship. Even enemy crews have enviable camaraderie!

Here's a snip that always makes me tear up. After two-and-a-half books, the ship intelligence transfers to a human body, and the team welcome her to the crew. #LitHodgepodge

Evening, #Sniptober! Here's a snip from Path of Lyssa! Cleric Claire gets a chance to interview legendary elven mage Ermengarde, one of a storied party of heroes. She looks young, but is actually ancient. They talk boys. #writingcommunity

#Sniptober 26! Play the game with pals! Read others snippies and maybe ask a question or two. Interaction helps people boost morale to keep writing! #QTP #WritingCommunity

Marcus would be one of those Tiger electronic movie tie-in games, the ones with the nasty soundcards! Even when switched off, you'd occasionally catch the principal character staring off into the distance wistfully. Rune would be a magic eight-ball with seemingly a million answers. #Octember

Honesty is the rule on Rune Carrier. The ship's energy is generated by vulnerability, so everyone is encouraged to be open, even and especially when it's difficult. But Marcus' lie until the very end is, "I'm fine." #LitHodgepodge

This is a dicey one for my genre 🤣 It's generally accepted that the crew of the Rune Carrier are all stunning (by design - long story). And to keep up the vibe, we never focus on character unattractive qualities. Even the nasty ones have something going for them! #timetravelauthors

Marcus be a body-less threat, spooking victims out of the house by hacking their smart devices. "Alexa's not here right now..." Rune's the sort who'd be your friend first, then she'd have a bad day. You wouldn't see the straight punch coming, and it would take your head off! #Octember

My first 5 TTRPGs in the order I played them: 1) Maid RPG (don't judge 😆) 2) SLA Industries 3) Changeling: The Lost 4) Scion 5) DnD 5th Edition

Danie Were@danacea.bsky.social

1) Basic 'red box' D&D, then AD&D, very quickly afterwards 2) CyberPunk 2013, then 2020 3) MechWarrior (couldn't tell you the incarnation) 4) WFRPs (briefly) 5) Vampire: The Masquerade (quite a bit later)

General question this week. How do you all plan the pacing of a new project? I'm very episodic (comes from comping Star Trek and playing a lot of DnD 😆) which has worked for me up to now. But curious how you all plot out a single narrative with a specific beginning and end! #LitHodgepodge

The media portrayal of the Rune Carrier journey comes up a few times in Lonely Ship! There's a lot of bad with the good, since they shake up the status quo on a regular basis. Lots of stories of ancient tech, big displays of power. Maybe naively interfering with local issues too much? #Octember

One last picrew! This is Lilith, our act one villain! Politico, social media star, conspirator! She breaks a bunch of hearts and dents up the ship, but comes around in the end! There is already an Earth animal associated with Lilith. Curious if anyone not in the know will guess it! #LitHodgepodge

After Lonely Ship 7, I'll keep reviewing my other work and posting it in new formats. I have a sort-of idea for a SFW novel (imagine!), but I'd also like to get into short story submissions. I had a run of rejection that really damaged my self-esteem, and I wanna move past that. #pretendpanel

Don't panic #pretendpanel - "I dunno" is an acceptable response to this (though don't feel like you need to post that!). But for those of you who wanna gush about it... October 24th: What comes next after current WIP/recent release? Why that? #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

For Marcus, I like the idea of like in Iron Man 3 where the bits of a cool robot suit get launched out the ship and slam onto his body. Last would be a cool sword that he catches in midair. Rune kinda has one already, and it's understated. A rumble in the earth, a sense of danger. Done. #Octember

No monsters in Lonely Ship for a long while. Just fun aliens in a variety in shapes. Some are icky, but they're all people. Eventually, we do have a shapeshifting insectile hunter that stalks the ship and hides in the vents. But she's nice when you get to know her too 🤣 #TimeTravelAuthors

I can lose hours when I get really stuck into writing or editing. It just sorta flows out. I'm beyond tired when I'm done, but I don't realise it until it hits me. It's great. I wish I was the same in my day job 😅 #pretendpanel

Maybe there will be a lot of crossover today, #pretendpanel , or maybe not. Tell me... October 23rd: How does it feel when you are in the thick of the process? #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

Just concluded revisions on Lonely Ship 5, so now we're on to the Season 2 finale! I love how Book 5 ends. There's some catharsis that really makes me shiver! After Book 6 comes revision of the end of everything. I'm looking forward to reading it again after all this time! #writingcommunity

Gotta be a plastic model kit of the Rune Carrier 🚀 It's not a complex shape, so an easy build. You can take off the missile pod on the top when they sell it in Book 1. You can replace the side panel with crystal like in Book 2. And Dark Future Rune Carrier from Book 7 adds loads 😆 #LitHodgepodge

So, in Book 4, Marcus does get a special move with voice activation. Rune has one too in Book 3. The anime is strong in Lonely Ship! For another, it would be something about the stars. Starlight Something-or-other. And they'd point at the sky and an orbital laser would blow up the enemy. #Octember

Please try to remember the 22nd of #Octember! TODAY'S QUESTION: What would be your character's signature anime attack move they would shout the name of? "Ka-me-ha-me-ha" is taken, so is "spirit gun", so make up something silly. Remember to have fun! 1/2 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

So, Marcus DOES receive a letter from the future, and it's not fun! SHEEP would represent RKON, the machine intelligence controlling Earth, who offers a peaceful future in the Matrix-like system. PARROT represents his future-daughter, who tells him he'll start intergalactic war. 🧵 #LitHodgepodge

Getting locked away in the Matrix is the joyful future; Marcus won't die and the Forge galaxy is spared devastation. But he would be losing his family, his crewmates, his agency. It's not the right choice. The dark future is the destined one. Marcus has to learn to live in the time he has left.

Avalynne was motionless for long moments. Her eyes remained fixed on the blinking captain’s station. They swam with turbulent emotion. Her lip trembled as if on the brink of saying something. Vio, the ship, watched, haunted and angry. #timetravelauthors

I'm sorry to say, Marcus and Rune would make a committee out of assigning three wishes. They'd go to the crew, and it would have to be equitable, spread evenly between cultures. Shame there's five species and only three wishes! I bet they'd be discussing the right wish for weeks! #Octember

Agreed that it's dynamic action scenes where I use these the most! I see them less often in dialogue or introspective scenes, my mainstay! Here's one of the first one-on-one fight scenes I wrote for Lonely Ship - combat android Miranda facing bounty hunter Elm! #Lithodgepodge

I know it's now a bit of a trope, but I cannot see Marcus and Rune as anything other than an alien and his robot wife having to pretend at suburban human normalcy! He'd struggle to insert himself into the zeitgeist at work. She'd have one of her arms fall off before a dinner party... #Octember

Ah, I see time travel on the list! Lonely Ship has a significant time travel plotline that determines the saga's eventual finale. Interestingly, none of the core cast themselves ever travel through time. They just meet lots who do, and who have strong opinions about their future! #LitHodgepodge
