Hey folks.

With a big project done and now I'm moving into the next, is it time for another AMA for the first of the month? Worldbuilding, projects, characters, Thanksgiving recipes, anything?

Update/Edit: Yes, I guess this means if you have AMA questions, go ahead and post them here.

I have plenty of questions. Any time you want to do an AMA I will be annoying about it

Robert Chatterjee

Based on things I've realized since I figured out you were one of my Favorite authors on Lit as well as you, I have a Spoiler Question? Is that okay?

Is this a note gauging interest in an AMA or the AMA? Definitely interested.

Karl-Johan Norén

Looks into my list of questions: * How do you define "consensual sexual misconduct" from your warnings? * What Bruce Lee number does Drew have? * Any particular favourite writers? And writers who have influenced you? * The cosmology of the Good intentions stories has expanded a lot since the first book. How do you go about this expansion and evolution?

Some AMA questions: Do you use a writing program to organize your work, or just a word processor? There was a controversy some years ago about Good Intentions not being a harem novel and not being beholden to the norms of that genre, but Hard Reset and especially Great Power and No Responsibility resemble the genre even more than GI. Is that intentional? Between Good Intentions, Days of High Adventure and Grand Theft Sorcery, you're staring to build out your own little universe. Do you expect to loop GPNR into this universe, too? Any plans to add more titles? The Poor Man's Fight series is one I've been able to spread to lots of people, men and women. It's probably your most widely appealing work (not that I don't love everything). Have you considered putting more of a push to advertise it? Perhaps with an omnibus? And can we expect more spin-off novels starring other characters like No Medals For Secrets? Any thoughts about branching our into more sci-fi genres? I've been knee-deep in cyberpunk lately and I think you could have a lot of fun there. Any thoughts on writing more books with female protagonists, or non-straight male protagonists?

Ray Chen

Ok, here's one and I know you can't be too specific about the answer because future storylines, etc. And I'm going to try and word the question so it doesn't spoil stuff for folks who haven't read No Man's Land. Tanner's pissed a lot of rich and powerful people off. But now you would think that he has a lot of rich and powerful people in his corner who didn't know much about him and his circumstances but are now likely motivated to find out. Is that going to play out in future stories? One would think it would have to. It seems tricky to handle but there would also seem to be a lot of interesting potential.

Life in Shadows has an audiobook. Any chance of your other collected shorts (Small Victories or Habitual Heroes) getting the audio treatment?

Will Butler have to face the friend group he fears? Will we see Wade’s old unit again? Will we see more of Alex’s past lives? Anything about what happened to Siobhan, for instance Does Rachel have a stance on gods? For Tanner, will we be seeing more of the species Tanner helped save and establish contact with? Will the kids on his floor be a part of any of his bigger adventures? Any plans for definitively exterminating the Queen of Mean? Any plans to show us more of the Hard Restart universe? Is there more fully aware artificial life somewhere? Will the crew of the special ship have the chance to Lone Ranger or Robin Hood through the galaxy?

When writing love scenes or editing them, do you deliberately exclude certain terms or imagery? Do you have a level of explicitness that you don't exceed? Edit: I mainly wonder if you're deliberately using/avoiding some words that trigger amazon's algorithm, if that's even a thing. I've heard that being labeled erotica is a death-knell for the amazon algorithm, and I notice you've fallen off using certain vocabulary since your earlier Good Intentions books.

Will we be seeing Lorelei’s rival from book 1 again? Her shackle is gone and she swiped a crown. Will we be seeing more from Rachel’s loser ex who set up that shackle?

Luxoft88

Are we going to meet any vampires that arn't complete tools / other long lived entities they are always my favorite en*tit*ies to here about. (Yes I know I have 0 shame lol)

Jacob Hufstader

I got a few questions, feel free to pick any/all/none: The GI series takes place during one year. Is there a particular reason you decided to do that? Have you run into any difficulties (dated references, character aging, etc) because of that? Have you considered going the traditional publishing route with a future book/series? In terms of your literotica work, I really enjoyed “Divine Job Benefits.” you mentioned when GPNO came out that you were hoping to continue the story, is that still the case? Who is your favorite baulders gate iii companion?

RH

How much fun do you have with the warning pages of your books? How different does each protagonist of a series feel to you, from smut books like Alex in GI and recently Kyle in Great Power and No Responsibilities to Tanner for example. Do you try and keep certain personality traits across characters, or do you actively differentiate?

Neill Cram

This might be answered already somewhere else, but do you have any plans for sequels to Hot Restart or Great Power & No Responsibilities, and are we likely to see the characters from Grand Theft Sorcery in the Good Intentions books?

jmundt33a

This may be a silly question. Is Tanner a serial monogamist? That would make him unique among your protagonists.
