Side Characters - Do you know how to cook? Are you strict about following a recipe, or do you believe in creatively winging it?

They put my sister in the snow globe on a Thursday.
Not secretly, nor illegally. It arrived already approved, polished, and explained to us as a necessary compromise.
We put it in the living room, clear and shining, centre-stage so she wouldn’t feel ignored.

I finished the Dracula X Renfield book! It's just proofreading left and I'm publishing it.
"Good Boys Don't Howl" is really fun. This one, a man's heart gets ripped out and stomped on and he thanks them for it.
This one fucking hurts...
So, if you're into that, anyone up for a quick beta read?

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
Does your character go by anything other than their name?
Do they have a nickname, a pseudonym, or a title people use for them? Or earn one over the course of the story?
Do they like it, or prefer their name?

When I was diagnosed with MS 20 years ago, I did a deep dive into the literature to search for a potential cause.
The literature on vaccinations was, and remains, clear.
Vaccines are not associated with risk for MS.
Epstein-Barr Virus is. It sure would be nice to have a vaccine for that.

3. No, not really. In the past it was a space issue and then some stuff happened and I canceled my KU subscription to save money. The only one who would gift me books is my mom and she knew space was an issue. She has offered to get me back on KU, which I'm considering

Introducing #DetailedSFFIntros!
Do you write sci-fi/fantasy/spec-fic? Do you post tidbits about your story here? Ready for a few days of intense yapping? I want to hear all the juicy details, so I can follow and get invested in what you post here!
Starts December 14 (tentative)! (1/2)

Rules
(read carefully)
1. This is targeted at writers of speculative fiction stories (including science fiction and fantasy) that you post about here on BlueSky relatively regularly, but if this doesn't apply to you, you can still participate.
2. WIPs and published works, books, comics, TTRPGs and screenplays, all valid!
3. Read the schedule ahead of time and make sure you're up for it. For Weeks 2 to 4, I'm really looking for the details, not just a few words. I've given a week between prompts to give you time to prepare your responses, so make sure to check out what's coming up. If that's not enough, you can always post late.
4. Any images you post should include ALT text. Some of the questions are designed so the answers won't fit in a single post, and I recommend posting your answers as screenshots with ALT text. Note that there is a 2000 character cap on ALT text, so take that into account when you take your screenshots.
5. Include the hashtag #DetailedSFFIntros in your post for each week. MOREOVER, especially if you're posting about multiple stories, ensure your submissions for a single story can all easily be found together. Here are two proposed ways of accomplishing that:
A) Keep posts on a single story within a single thread. So your post for Week 2 would be a reply to your post for Week 1, your post for Week 3 would be a reply to your post from Week 2, etc. Make sure to @ me so I get notified.
B) Create a hashtag for each story you wish to discuss. An example format would be #[author's name/username]-[title]-DSFFI. Other formats are allowed, but try to ensure it won't collide with anything else. If you're discussing multiple stories set in the same world, this option is recommended, since you can tag your answer for Week 2 (The World) with the hashtag for all relevant stories and avoid having to duplicate post it in multiple threads.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pq2y5gypyndoxi634ycr34fr/bafkreig5iev5e6lczbordc2gd4dhibmmamc2xjlbqz3xzdz5rbcczpw3ze@jpeg)
