If your story were an animal, which one? What would you feed it?

Does Cthulhu count if not I take the reapers from Mass Effect.

In the first case human souls including my own in the later human bodies to create a new reaper.

Or a Goat they eat souls too but they are so freaking adorable.

SC POV: If you could master one skill you don't have, what would it be?

Mondira:"You know I'm not bad with Xeno topics like history and hopefully after the mission I have enough material for my dissertation but what I really fear of all this topics Xeno Anthropology. I am good at it but ... Not really good you know? This bit is missing that people say 'damn she is good'. That is missing..."

Silas:"I'm not so good with socials, especially not since Anika went MIA, I have a hart time connecting with my daughter because she doesn't understand why I work in this field. She understands that soldiers are needed but she thinks I should care more for my family. I left active duty as I became pregnant with her & stood by her side til she married with 22.
Than I went back to duty. I hope after this mission I can learn o speak differently with her... "

Does your world have ships, either ocean, space or whatever? What kind?

All kind of worlds have all kind of ships.
Including liquid faring ones, space faring, land faring and atmosphere faring ones. Also submergable ones. Not only in liquids but also in space because that's how FTL works in Star Ryde.

MC POV: Have you ever been on a voyage? Where did you go?

Kira raised an eyebrow:"Constantly. That's part or the Job also my parents and siblings we where spacers, still I am."

Arkham pointed at Kira:"She already made the point."

Ashlei:"I am the artificial intelligence of a spacecraft, I am the spaceship I am on a constant voyage."

What emotions do you expect your readers to feel while reading the first chapter of your story?

Maybe something like this: "Oh? Really? Okay... I buy it, for now! Let's see how this evolves, yeah I can see it now, what no? No! Moly hother go frog... NEXT NOW! Please? Pretty please? You can't keep me hanging like this, oh sweet sins their is the next chapter. Hu!"

I know wishful thinking. But would that be an awesome emotional trip?😅
In reality at least enough interest to proceed with chapter two.

What emotions do you expect your readers to feel after finishing your story?

That they feel taken seriously, appreciated and hopefully entertained and inspired.

Again wishful thinking and I have to write the damn thing in the first place...

07.08.2025 SC POV: If you could have one food right this moment, what would it be?

1/2
Mondira Ramann: "Endorian Chocolate, the Endorian Republic or Endoria is one of the states back home on Eodin. They have this incredibly tasty dried Chocol fish skin flakes that are covered in the Chocol fat. They aren't real fish like you would see on Ear... sorry Terra.
They have a lot in common with snakes, they share their skin every 3 Months so basically every 87 days.
It's ment to be food and shelter for their eggs and hatchlings but Chocols have an incredible reproductive rate & since we accidentally killed off their natural predator... so as an act of keeping the balance, the Endorians collect hatcheries, clean them and sell them on the market.
The Chocolate is covered with the hard oil or more accurate fat the fish uses to shedd it.➡️

⬅️ It tastes very umami, hemp and oat like, the fat melts on your tongue but not on your skin and then there's is this little crisp core."

In the background Kira and Arkham looked extremely disturbed and disgusted.

Well if the question ever comes up again: "What makes your setting unique?"
My answer will be: "Natural Fish Chocolate..."

Describe the sensations of one of your characters in the last scene you wrote.

As I mentioned here
nerdculture.de/@AnnaSaultron/1…
Haven't really written anything other than this and copied some prompt answers into different sections where I expect them to have a roll later.
It was a scene with AJ and it was about them waking up on a bad day as survival instincts and training kicked in before anything else.
I'm at a all-time low at the moment with my energy levels/spoons.

If you needed advice about your personal life, which character would you ask?

Anika, Kira or Admiral RHA, maybe Jenkins or Troika.

They all are leaders and have at least a certain amount of life experience behind them.

SC POV: What's the worst weather you've ever experienced?

Rose:"Not sure, we had several dangerous weather conditions. Terran Toxic Rain gets better since we have the sol powered Atmosphere cleaners & the bioengineered plants, but on missions, we had variants of acid rain, sharp diamond crystal rain, giant goo ball rain, glass splitter rain & magma like rain. Even on worlds with water, you can be hit with icy, sharp ice crystals or even worse psychodelic & high speed or high gravity rain.
It's one thing if the water sends you on a trip like you took Black Haze.* It's another if the droplets are so thick or fast that they break your bones underneath your armored suit. Don't get me started on Magmatic rain or the problems of getting the goo rain of your armor."

*Black Haze on of the most potent drugs in the universe, legends say it even would kill a Eltaryn 'rilla in the right amount.

Looking back at the beginning of your writing journey, what advice would you give yourself?
Learn to plot at least a tiny bit and get used to writing at least a tiny bit every day or something like that

12. On a scale from 1 to 10, how comfortable is your MC's life? online?

Kira 8
Arkham 8
Ashlei 6

On Mission they aren't online.

13. On a scale from 1 to 10, how safe is your world?

Universe. 7

14. Choose a character's experience that you'd like to have.

Choosen

15. Do you plan your themes, or do they arise naturally as you write?

50:50 I would say

16. Who is your most flamboyant character, and is it more (the prompt ends here in the Alt text)

Syntax error ?

17. MC POV: If you could try one food you've never tried, what would it be? [Edited because I couldn't understand it at all...😅]

Haven't thought about it

18. Do you carry any symbols from your own life into your would it be? stories?

I guess some stuff didn't copy from the alttext
#WordWeavers

Ketchup now with extracted text from the share pic.

16. Who is your most flamboyant character, and is it more
visual, behavioral, or something else?

J and I would say clearly behavioral.

17. MC POV: If you could try one food you've never tried, what
would it be?

Author_ity note: Haven't thought about that to be honest.

18. Do you carry any symbols from your own life into your
stories?

Symbols not really themes or topics probably.

Could you imagine a story in the same world where your MC is the antagonist?

Absolutely

Is education freely given to all interested people in your story?

No, it's freely granted and enforced. Not taking part in education, which is entirely free/paid for by the Union, is seen as an attack on society* and it's citizens. The children are free to take any class they find interesting but the earliest years are mandatory for social skills development, learning Union and local standard as a language, learning empathy and survival skills for inside and outside of the society, from age 8-12 deeper philosophical topics are taught together with basics of the free social capitalism rules the Union acts upon, from 10-14 galactic and localized history lessons are brought in. Sport theory is mandatory but physical exercises are not. With 14 to 16 interested children can apply for the Union military/Alliance pre School in which they get a glimpse into the military. Many kids are but not many follow through.

#WordWeavers 20.08.2025 #StarRyde #WorldBuilding #SciFi #WIP

*Attacks on Society -> in general an attack on society is everything that is weakening for a stable society like Tax Evasion, not spending your upper income cut freely or not sending your kids to school.

It is a thing that developed do to Terras and other planets histories with tyrannical ruling classes like Dictators, choosen leaders that turned over whole societies, "rich" folk that didn't took responsibilities seriously.
This types have made Terra a worse planet, which is why big parts of the Terran influenced laws and habits are ment to purge this peoples charactertraits by educational means as much as possible.

Do you prefer writing stories with ensemble casts or with an intimate set of characters?

I prefer an ensemble with a few intimate ones that are more detailed.

If money wasn't an issue where would you arrange a WordWeavers writing retreat?

Castle Neu Schwanstein, way to much south and warm for my personal liking but I would invite everyone together with a big temporary party pool and costume builders/tailors so everyone.

Well even if that wouldn't be a monetary issue I would probably restrain myself do to the ecological footprint...

So BBQ party?
