It's so fun when you can look at it objectively, pass over the comments that are clearly outliers or personal preference, and laugh at everyone's reactions to twists and emotional beats.

One of my favorite lines in the whole book: "Are you fucking crazy? This is a Toyota!" IYKYK

I'm so curious to see a "monster x monster" romance. It feels so rare compared to the more prevalent human x monster situation.

That pointing finger is personal.

Their dynamic is so much fun to write about. I’m really glad people like them!

Katorgan ships are purely in the realm of mechanics. The black iron used to fuel and power them is not the same black iron that is used religiously. There is a huge difference, but it is spoiler territory.

I wouldn't say "many," but there are a few non-Katorgans who are still trying to unlock its mysteries after thousands of years. Among Katorgans, the "study" of black iron is not the purview of scientists but of their priesthood.

Thank you so much, Lizzie!

Thank you!

Thank you! I want to keep my goals relatively simple this month so I can spend time recharging. Winter is a difficult season for me, and I want to give myself as much time as possible to rest during it.

Very happy and excited for you!

YESSSS MORE ESSIM!!!

If space, time, or excitement allows, I may also talk about other characters who don't have working WIPs yet: Astrid and Henry from my werewolf horror/romance, and Lia and Roman, my Vampire: the Masquerade vampires.

I just really love talking about [romantic/smutty] character relationships.

"Fascinating" is definitely a good word to describe Malkavians. I love the Malkavian Primogen in the chronicle I'm playing with my friends, she's awesome.
