#PhantastikPrompts 14.3. Was ist für dich ein No-Go, im Weltenbau, oder bei der Ausgestaltung deiner Geschichten?
Ich schreibe nicht über Religion. Daher vermeide ich bewusst Ausdrücke aus heiligen Schriften.
In meinen Büchern gibt es keine Kirchen, kein Weihnachten, kein Ostern und keinen Ramadan.
Ich wollte schreiben: “Mohammed must come to the mountain” habe mich aber zurückgehalten.

#writersCoffeeClub 14 Mar 'Do you think readers want new experiences in structure or narrative, or do they prefer what's familiar?'
I think our readers want to be entertained.
Predictability, with the odd surprise thrown in.
A bit like your favourite restaurant offering a normal menu and adding a highlight with "Today's Special".
I for one, do not want a constant progression of new experiences.

#Wordweavers 13 Mar 'Tell us about a quirk your SC has.'
DoveTail used to love carpentry (especially dovetail joints) and then a sawdust irritation led to his #asthma diagnosis. Instead he has taken up decorative wooden tiling for backgammon cases, and painting with watercolours. (portraits and landscapes)
He’s a 14 year old orphan who lives in the Noble Coliseum and is beginning to take an interest in the two room mates ClaireVoyant and RoughDi.

#ScribesAndMakers March 11. Our featured creator does 3D printing. Have you ever? (Share a pic)
In June 2013 I bought a £500 RepRap kit and was planning to build one and use it
it's a lot harder than you think, and the plastic components (printed on a RepRap) were brittle and kept breaking
I gave it to my school, explaining that you need a decent workshop and tools to even assemble one of these things.

#WordWeavers 20, What tropes are in your current project?
TBH, I do not understand the fixation in writing circles on the issue of 'tropes'
it's like asking:
Does your novel have food?
Does your novel have music?
these things are all commonplace.
so I am with @HeliaXyana@mastodon.nl on this one, I have all the tropes, unless 'tropes' is invested with some unique meaning, which has escaped me completely!
