#PennedPossibilities 1005 — What type of clothing does your SC typically wear? Samuel is easy to pin here. Mind you, again, it’s the end of the Victorian era. I’ll break things down a bit as I go. • Practicality: Clothing was durable and functional, often consisting of mismatched jackets and vests to save money. (Yet he still manages to look fantastic. Hati always tells him so.) • Materials: Workers wore wool, corduroy, or heavy cottons in dark, somber colors to hide dirt and wear. (Samuel does just this, of course. He’s a worker with a tough job.) • Footwear and Headwear: Lace-up boots and simple caps or worn-out bowlers were common, prioritizing protection over style. (Sam prefers caps to what he calls “poncy bowlers,” truth be told.) #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves

#PennedPossibilities 1006 — How would your characters describe their community or communities? Typically, it’s cold, miserable, unforgiving, and tough. Vampires are a reclusive bunch and aren’t likely to help one another if they’re strangers. Werewolves, on the other hand, are either found in small packs or simply with a mate. Their groups are very, very small. At times, when the planets align (lol), these communities can also be caring and supportive to friends and family members. Also of note, vampires and werewolves do not get along and are not meant to ever become friends (or more). Alistair and Hati broke that rule. He’s a vampire and she’s a werewolf, and yet they’re close friends. Their small circle can’t understand why immortal beings can’t just get along. There are mortals and immortals. You’re either one or the other, so why does it matter what sort of immortal you are? The hatred is unneeded. #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #WingsOfQuietLonging #ParanormalRomance #Fantasy #Gothic #Victorian #Vampires #Werewolves
