What made you write your story (prompt)

You get conviction points for that my friend. If this was Xbox there'd be an achievement.

That's deep and brave. I sometimes dabble in religious allegories, but I typically stray away from deep dives. That said, you have my respect for tackling something touchy like that.

That's interesting. I read somewhere that our dreams are made up of things we've seen and experienced in real life, but I've always wondered if that was true. As people like us who imagine things all the time, it draws the question, are more things we imagine really things we've already seen? Or if we really can create things completely independent from reality, how far can we go?

What made me write my novel or story?
I made my novel because of boredom, since I don't have much to do in this pandemic so I write a novel to lift my boredom. And this is my first novel. I also put this one at Webnovel and then here.

ohh i was talking about abusive ships made to look romantic or cute, im well aware of danger in our world, but we don't need to romanticize if for young readers (mostly ya so around 13 to 18)

Oh my bad, yeah I see where your coming from there.

Rightt. I've read that we can't physically create unique faces, that they have to be somewhere, but half the people in my dreams I'm certain I've never seen before. Same with very vivid settings, reoccurring ones too. Dreams freak me out.

No one else was writing the stories I wanted to read, so I wrote them so I could read stories I wanted to read.

You know I feel the same way about most of my work, so let me offer you a digital high five in solidarity. "High five"

I wrote mine because I got really sick of Chinese manhuas were the female lead was a secret assassin or doctor or both in her previous life and got transmigrated/reborn into a fantasy world or the past where she then proceeded to kick ass and get revenge on everyone and their dog for the body's previous owner...

Hm...I guess my inspiration came from this pandemic? (Sorry for the upcoming short rant below!)

I don't mean to sound edgy or anything but this pandemic has made me have a more pessimistic view towards the world. It feels like nothing has gotten better and alongside that? More and more hate/evil has been exposed (Whether it's police violence against POC, Climate Change etc.) I wanted to write a book that allowed me to appropriately put my pessimism into a character rather than just letting it fester on the inside like a disease.

Hence the reason I recently got into writing darker fantasy! Although It's still about reincarnation and such, I did want to practice/explore having my characters have a more 'darker' air about them. (From what I've seen) Instead of characters getting used to the world they now live in after death, I wanted to explore something where the character isn't used to their environment. They hate it and long for nothing more than to return back to the life that (in my MC's opinion) was stolen from them.

Come hell or high water, whether they must kill one or thousands. Living in a fantasy world where everything is at their fingertips? It doesn't appeal to them in the slightest, they only use their power in order to further push them towards getting home even when the threat of never being able to return or death while trying looms over their head.

If y'all are interested in what you see, feel free to check out my novel! It's now on Chapter 2!

Um well actually 7SSC has technically been in development since I was in grade school...
We were assigned to create a fantasy world for English and that was the creation of Elemental, the main world of the series. From there, it just kind of grew? It's been a culmination of exploring myself and my own morals, the characters and the world are a strong reflection of who I was, who I am, and who I might become. So yeah!!!! That's that lol

Tempest was written out of my need to pay homage to the superheroes/comics I grew up reading, watching, and loving as a kid. I wanted to make my own superhero, but being that there are so many different ones out there, it's hard to come up with something 100% original. So, instead, I used what I knew and tried to integrate it while still coming up with my own type of plot. Lol.

The Last Goddess, on the other hand, came from my love of mythology. There's so many different types of myths, lore, and epics, that I wanted one of my own. Plus there are many things in mythologies that overlap cultures. So, I wanted to make my own multicultural pantheon! Bonus, both my characters kind of represent a different part of my life/personality. So, while they are drastically different, its fun to write in both personas, so to speak.

Centris is formed by some of my personal experiences but seen through a fantasy filter. But every writer does that, so it's not news. I've been developing the story and world for years, so many elements have shifted or represented my mental state at the moment of their creation or modifications.

Currently, I think it was the best possible moment to write it for me. I started a new chapter in my life, so maybe writing the novel right now will allow me to grow it alongside my knowledge of this new phase for me. Plus an important thematic element of Centris focuses on the struggle between the authority and the people who lacks it. And consider how crappy my country situation is, I'm in the right mind set to write something about opposing shitty governments.

Inspiration came from wanting to see Religion flourish in the world again, specifically Islam. My story is heavily focused on Islamic teachings and elements and explores a heartbreaking story of a Prince who struggles with saving his kingdom from the brink of a deadly civil war. His own identity as a practicing Muslim is put to the ultimate test as he faces harrowing and death defying tragedies, one after another.

My main inspiration came from pure rage of seeing people of authority (cough, politicians, cough) not doing their friggin jobs and taking money baths when small people scrape the streets for basic needs. I'm so done with that sht.

Loneliness was the motivator for me, too. That's even the basis for how the story started and what it's about. Of course, the theme has changed since its inception to match my real life circumstances in a way. My story is almost like a fantasy of what I want but can't seem to have just yet.

To cut it nice and short(especially since I am half awake right now). I watched Ergo Proxy. That's literally it. Watched an anime from the early 2000s that inspired the creation of my man cast of characters and from there it just evolved into the story I am currently writing.

My story(web novel):

Inspired by works such as Ghost in the Shell, Ergo Proxy, Serial Experiments Lain, and Akira, Technocyte: Beyond Human follows Detectives Beatrice Alice Moreau and Jay Lee Jones, an amnesiac man named Sherlock Lawson, and a mysterious young girl named Mina in a cyberpunk/ dystopian like setting as they uncover the truth behind Sherlock's elusive past and his connection to the Technocytes, enhanced humans who are able to morph metal around their bodies and manipulate technology, and the organization responsible for creating them known as SANCTUARY.
