Reader/writer question: In fiction what are some of your favorite worldbuilding details, the kind of thing you think is underused and underrated?

The first page of my "Fantasy/Attempted Comedy" story, The Last Philosopher.
I've been rewriting it again, but this first page still has some issues.
The question is would you keep reading? ☺️

I love this cartoon. So subtle and clever, with so few words.

#PennedPossibilities 254 — How do you use social media as an author?

Frequent "buy my book" - is annoying and I am good at not spending time looking at that

Ridiculous hype, unhelpful quotes "eighth book in the VoidLords series", bad covers don't help.

I value people who subscribe to my free newsletter and offer discounts/special offers to them.

254 — How do you use social media as an author?

On X, Bluesky, Masto, FB, I have a newsletter and a website-blog (which needs remodelling).

I sometimes offer paid services on them, it has rarely been harder to work as an author and if this offends, unfollow me please. I offer some advice and support free.

I offer paid support for authors, manuscript assessment and media/confidence skills,

31/1: Would you ever cosplay one of your characters? Which one?
I’m not into cosplay, perhaps because I live it all more vividly in my head anyway. But anyone who would like to cosplay my characters is more than welcome. Send me the photos!

31/1. Where do you write?
Mostly at home, with a laptop on my, er, lap. But I have written very successfully in coffee shops and on trains. It’s one of the reasons train travel is so much more civilised than driving.

29/1: Did you write stories when you were a kid?
Oh yes. I can’t really remember a time when I didn’t. The first thing I remember was when I was 7 or 8 and I wrote about a boy named Ajax who lived on a space station. Homage to the Kemlo stories of E C Elliott, long before I’d heard the term ‘fan-fiction’.

29/1. Describe the saddest moment you've written. Share an excerpt.
The end of , where Jerya and Rodal say their goodbyes, with no real expectation of ever meeting again, is pretty poignant.

28/1. How do you format a flashback so the reader knows what's going on?
I don't really do flashbacks as such. If a character's remembering something I'll say that's what they're doing.

28/1: On a scale of 1—10, how hot is your antagonist? Why?
I'm afraid I find this question vaguely distasteful, and I think that's because Perriad would be utterly appalled by it. She may be an antagonist, and pretty mean to Jerya, but I think to be considered as an object of sexual desire would be revolting for her. Cruel and unusual punishment.
