Thank you for the ask! Here's the short answers:

🐇 What are typical prey you’d find in the territory? Rare or unusual prey? Squirrels, mice, rabbits, frogs, birds, fish, whatever other animals you could find in Upper Michigan! A few treats of fast food are well-liked by the clan as well. (There may or may not be a trading system among non-clan cats).

I’m working on writing my own audio series and found that it’s difficult to world-build without overexplaining how things work in the universe I created. I was wondering if you had any tips on how to simplify a story without making listeners wonder why things are the way they are?

Thanks again for bringing such a touching and brilliant show. I’m so excited to start s4!

Hi there!!! Thank you so much for this note and I’m so glad you love the show! 

I totally hear you on the world-building thing - it can be really tricky! I think the most important first step is for you to understand all the rules of your world. I know this sounds obvious, but as someone who despises things like outlining, planning, etc., it took me a while to figure out. If you know all the bounds of your own world, everything you write in it should all hold together. 

pepsi box blue or cheeto bag orange?

pepsi box blue, obviously. its so beautiful.

books or films?

you see, because i'm a nerd i pick books, but i do watch more films these days. WATCH CANDYMAN.

favorite tea?

Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with?

Not usually, especially if it's the good stuff lol. If I'm starting a new drawing, the thumbnailing phase is the warmup. If it's continuing an old one, I might work on easier aspects of it first before tackling harder ones

Do you plot your stories?

Doing yours and @machine-without-feelings‘s in the same ask since they’re on the same page:

From “Moscow” from Great Comet and “Run, Daddy, Run” by Miranda Lambert, respectively.
