#queue that post!

Thanks to @rachaellawrites for tagging me!

Since I don't know who is okay doing these tag games, consider this an open tag!

As soon as I saw this one in my notifications, I knew which line to include here, so here it is, a line from A Spark of Magic 2! (It's technically a paragraph but pretend it's only a line):

if your characters were to gain elemental powers, which would they gain? and why? if they already have them, which other power would fit them?

Hi V! I hope you're well. Happy STS to you as well ☺️

So, this is a great question and one I'll answer for A Spark of Magic!

In A Spark of Magic, there are several magical orders, but witches are the ones who have elemental magic! Alice, the main character, is a Forger, meaning she can control/manipulate fire and light. But if she wasn't a Forger, she'd be a Bloomer, like her father. Bloomers can control/manipulate Flaura.

I say this because of several factors:

Alice was born during the Spring Equinox

Magic is hereditary in this universe (but some lineage's genes are more Dominant than others, which is why Alice is a Forger)

She really finds comfort in nature, even if her relationship with it is one of love-hate.

As for the other characters who aren't witches in this universe, I'd say Xavier (who is a shapeshifter) would be a Windsperer (Windsperers can control both water and air currents, and he'd use these abilities to spy for sure) and Isaac (who is a merfolk) would also be a Bloomer!

Hello! I hope you're well. Thank you so much for playing!

Dice: how could your story have changed if one thing about the plot had gone differently?

I'll answer this question for Risky Business this time around! I'd say that if Anastasia hadn't come back home, a lot of the story would be different, especially some of the later parts of this serial!

Wildcard: share anything that's on your mind regarding your OCs/writing! even if it's "hey I'm having a hard time writing right now," that's okay!

I recently had to take a break from drafting A Spark of Magic 2 because of how stressed I was due to my self-imposed deadline. It had gotten to a point where I felt like everything I wrote was bad, and I was dreading working on it. I grew weary that I was reaching writer's block (I've learned to identify the signs), and to prevent that, I stopped working on it and started working on something else instead, which was the solution (and I'm having so much fun with it)! Sometimes, the best way to move forward is to take a step back, but that is a hard lesson that I haven't fully mastered. I'm working on it, though!

Hi anon! I hope you're well. Sorry it took me so long to reply, but I'm here now with answers to your questions (thanks for sending these, by the way).

Flute: can any of your OCs dance? how would they fare in a dance-off?

Yes! There are two who can dance, Aleena and Milo. They're both from my One Last... Series Universe, and although they have minor roles in the first book, One Last Show, they become more prevalent in future instalments (Milo in book 2 and Aleena in book 3, if everything goes according to plan). Aleena is a classical dancer (she has ballet classes weekly) whereas Milo's speciality is popping and locking, and he has a Hip-Hop background (it's his dream to become a professional dancer!). As for how they would fare in a dance-off, Milo would obliterate the competition.

Lute: what OC is most or least like you?

I've answered this one here.

Stage: share a snippet or a milestone you're really proud of.

I'll share a milestone! I'm really proud of myself for self-publishing my first book! I still have a lot to learn in the self-publishing world, but I'm very glad I took this step and put myself out there. As someone who doesn't like to be perceived most of the time, doing it was certainly a challenge, but I'm happy I did it!

Thanks once again! I hope you're having a lovely day/night!
