Your story sounds really cool, and I’d be very interested to see how you handle such chaos. As my brother already said, I’m currently managing my own sort of chaos in my superhero/fantasy story as well.

Thanks! It’s certainly been an interesting process to try and edit it.

How long have you had concepts for your story? And how would you describe your world?

Technically, I’ve had some concepts for the world since middle school, but it was for a different superhero world that I ended up scrapping. I kept some ideas (like how the anthropomorphics work) but pretty much changed everything.

It changes a lot over the course of the stories, but it starts out with superhumans secretly living among humans much like how witches/wizards secretly live around muggles in Harry Potter  and how the half-bloods live among mortals in Percy Jackson and the Olympians. But then there’s a major event that causes what are essentially “dormant” superhumans to manifest world-wide and the superhumans are exposed to the world. Which, naturally, results in chaos. In the midst of this chaos more variations of humans are created only adding to the craziness of it all.

As of now I have three major groups of not-quite-humans, with one of these having a couple of sub-types determined by manifestation.

Also, I’m a bit of a biology nerd as well, specifically zoology. Do you have favorite animal?

• Mythical- gryphon.
• Cryptid- loch ness monster.
• Real- snow leopard or hummingbird.

Your WIP sounds really cool, and the idea of a girl who can break the fourth wall is both funny and clever. (I know for a fact that that power would have never entered my head even if I had a million years to think over all the possible abilities  a character could have) What’s the setting for your WIP?

Well, there’s what I’ve already mentioned above, but the story specifically takes place in California (Los Angeles and Sequoia National Park) and New Mexico.

Wow, that’s wild, I love it.

Thanks! I’m glad you like it.

Nice. Knowledge of several languages I’ve always found amazing, but it is also quite hard. xD

That’s the sad truth of being linguistically inclined. You still have to do all the educational grunt work.

Oh, it’s just the best when you fall so in love with a world! I can imagine it’s hard to write! What are some of the ways she interacts with the fourth wall?

The most important way is that she speaks directly to the narrator. To other characters, it looks like she’s having a conversation with no one, so they usually assume that she’s hallucinating. She often tries to get information out of the narrator that she can use to her advantage, and tends to bicker with the narrator which obviously doesn’t end well.

I write pretty much exclusively in English. Even though it’s my third language my vocabulary is definitely the best and I just love it as a language. I love the sound, I love the pretty words, and most of the books I read are in English anyway.

I want to maybe write something short in Afrikaans one day, (it’s also really special to me but the language is unfortunately dying) but I cannot spell it for the life of me XD What’s hard about it is that I can’t share it, so it’s hard to motivate myself to write it.

That’s understandable. I hope that Afrikaans doesn’t die, it seems to have an interesting history. I haven’t really looked into it, but I remember learning about it in school, and I’m pretty sure I put it on my languages list (which I have lost so I can’t check it right now).

That’s so cool! I’ve only read Skyward and Starsight by Brandon Sanderson, but none of the other authors

I read Skyward! It was really good and I can’t wait to read the sequel. I suppose you can always put them on your TBR list if you find them interesting. (I’m always adding to mine.)

That sounds really cool! I really like Sanderson’s style! My favorites (I cannot narrow down on one XD) are the Red Ribbon by Lucy Adlington, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, and the False Prince by Jennifer A Nielsen. I have more but that’s probably my top three!

I’ll have to check those out.

LOL I have those kinds of books too XD I have a few books (or even series) that are terribly written but I read them to remind myself that the bar is much lower than I think XD

The standard for acceptable quality is always lower than I expect it to be. I blame my perfectionistic tendencies.

Oh, that’s awesome! I know how to knit too but don’t do it an awful lot anymore. I mostly sew and embroider. I draw too! What medium do you use? I’d love to see some of your art!

I use pencil, pen, and digital, mainly. Although I’m having some major issues working out how to use Adobe Illustrator… I have used Kleki.com before, which is limited but functional. I also do some painting with acrylics and have used charcoals (but I think I lost my set).

Once I can find a picture, I can show you the last painting I did.

The cello is such a beautiful instrument! I play the celtic harp!

Besides those things I do HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts), and ride my horses!

It’s so underrated. The cello is the instrument closest to the human voice in terms of pitch, and you don’t have to stand up to play it like a violin. I’m so glad I switched, since I have bad joints that don’t like standing for long periods of time.

I’d love to try HEMA, but there aren’t any clubs near me. I live in a really rural area… there are horses, though. And so many cows.
