For The Random Questions Ask: What Is A Weird, Hyper-specific Detail You Know About One Of Your Characters
For the random questions ask: What is a weird, hyper-specific detail you know about one of your characters that is completely irrelevant to the story? - (@enchanted-lightning-aes)
OH I am so glad you asked this! I think up so much random bullshit for my characters. I’m going to have to break some of the rules for this game, cause there’s no way I can only say one thing. And I think I know the perfect thing to start out with;
Sir James Honorborn is probably my favorite immortal “side” characters of all time, but he is very much an important character to the story. Valthoraxe meets him for the first time, it’s in James’ bounty hunting tavern called, “Blade & Honor’s: Beer, Bounty, Bravery.” James co-owns the tavern with a man named Franvil Bladeson. While never stated in the book, it’s loosely implied that they are married. James is somewhat of a playboy, having slept with literally tens of thousands of guys over the course of his life, and continues doing so after his husband dies.
Valthoraxe’s species, the Firath, have always had excellent relations with the higher classes of dragons, and Draconic is taught in the Firath’s equivalent of an education system. I have so much lore about the dragons that I will only delve into in the sequel. A part of that lore is how Valthoraxe rules by sending orders and setting laws to every major city on Alterra, including the region of Lizea (the top third of Kio), which is recognized as dragon territory. Dragons are always welcome in The Lord’s Wastelands, which is why they are often seen flying overhead when heroes attempt to confront him. Valthoraxe knows many dragons personally, including Rathnir Cascada, king of the dragons of Kio.
Thank you @enchanted-lightning-aes for this ask, this was very fun!

Absolutely, especially if it’s a name you’re proud of, like Lord Valthoraxe. Have fun! Try to enjoy the things you write!
Don't be afraid to use your character's name!
To avoid repetition, new writers will often resort to descriptions like "the tall woman," or "the dark-haired man", which breaks up narrative flow and reads as unnatural. Don't over-describe, when just a name will do.
For the random questions ask: What’s one trope you wouldn’t write, except for money? - 🍀 (@enchanted-lightning-aes)
Easy, Love Triangles.
I’m not a big fan of most romantic tropes, but love triangles make me audibly sigh. I also wouldn’t write anything I don’t want to write, even if I’m being paid. I am very passionate about what I write, because I’d otherwise quickly lose any will to finish writing. My attention span isn’t great, but I try to focus what little attention I have on quality over quantity.
If I were to have to write something I’m against, I’d write a parody of it, and probably somehow include it in the worldbuilding of Alterra. I might have a problem, because every time I try to think of a new story, I accidentally think of a way to have it take place on Alterra. This world I’ve created has taken over my life.
P.S. I need to acknowledge this somewhere, but a random reblog on one of @hayatheauthor ‘s posts (the one about writing injuries) has just exploded in popularity, and I don’t know why. When I woke up yesterday, I was greeted to 142 notifications on that one reblog. The post itself has about 1200 notes, but my reblog specifically has a little over 300 of those. I don’t know what to do, I don’t want to turn off notifications, but at the same time I can’t keep getting 50 random notes daily. Do check out hayatheauthor’s blog, their stuff is great!
Thank you for such kind words. I saw the “ask” you sent me, and that was the highlight of my day. All I want with my stories is to have other people enjoy them as much as I do. I’m glad you’re interested in my world, I hope it lives up to your expectations when I finally finish it.
Follower special! All followers, this is for you!
Wow, I have been here for a month and already 15 followers, you pioneers of kindness. Thank you for reading, and now I have something for each of you. I don't have much, money, technical know how, or talent. But I can write, so here I decided to give each of you a personal prompt based on what I know from your blogs. Here goes nothing!

Author's note. I tried to make it as personal as I could for each, I was offensive in any way, I am sure I meant good will. You are all so special to me, thank you so much for reading my material, it means so much that you follow me...even by accident if you did. THANK YOU...that's all I can say but I say it as heart felt as I can...more coming in the future.
