Ce roman partiellement épistolaire est difficile à classer. Il y a un côté eau de rose indéniable. Poétique et sensuel, ce roman nous entraîne au travers du multivers et du temps, que deux entités manipulent à l’envi en envoyant des agentes pour tuer, orienter, influer. Les êtres humains y sont des objets fragiles et des jouets d’un destin décidé par des abstractions. J’y ai goûté chaque mot. #mastolivre #vendredilecture #SF #fantasy

#PennedPossibilities 632 — What originally inspired your WIP’s plot?

I just finished the WIP less than 20 hours ago, so I'm going with it.

  1. The #writever prompts for March. Thirty-one one word prompts with the theme Women's Rights. Remember, I'm a feminist writer. One of the prompts was "abortion." Challenging, as were others. I learned a lot by researching why the prompts were chosen.
  2. The prompts originally come out in Français. The word in Français for March is "Mars." As a SF writer at heart, do you think I originally misread that? Ya Betcha!
  3. Who is associated with Mars who is also the most misogynistic creep ever, who seems to be destroying a century of civil, women's, and LGBTQIA rights single handedly? Oh, noes! Did RS have ideas about writing thinly veiled satire? Ya Betcha!

#WordWeavers 2504.02 — Assuming it’s possible in your world, how does your MC react when their parents call?

They don't seem to use telephony in her world, but they do have something like newsreels and phonograph records, so I'm not sure. Certainly, she can receive messages or telegrams. In any case, the concept of the supernatural is nonsensical. The words "belief" and "faith" have no meaning, which makes it very difficult for the author!

The devil-girl's parents are dead, as far as she knows. There is probably only one personal attack in the entire world that would actually set the woman off, and this would be it. She was conceived to be an evil character, and I would feel very sorry for whomever pranked her. What she might do might send her down the path toward darkness.

#PennedPossibilities 630 — Is your MC receptive to warnings and advice given by others?

It's not that Thorn Rose doesn't listen, it's that she gets SO excited with all the possibilities! If she THINKS she can impress her mentor, she's there. If that makes Streak start hitting his head against the wall due to her lack of common sense, or worse her seeming lack of fear of death and dismemberment… oh well!

She keeps her friend on his toes.

#WritersCoffeeClub #WCC 2504.01 — April Fools Day! Do you include in-jokes, hidden messages, or “Easter eggs” in your writing?

Yes. If I can convince you to read Mars Needed Women (eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/11426181), there is a HUGE amount of subtext in the story. It's about hidden (or intentionally dusted with a tiny little bit camouflaging rust) messages. Much is also said indirectly. It's a study in saying a lot without saying much that would get you in trouble. The "EM" in the story is the in-joke, because, well, you know who that refers to. What happens to the silvery phallic symbols and the money is, well, maybe somewhat subversive? There's even a few Easter Eggs in the form of popular references. It was fun to write.

#WritersCoffeeClub #WCC 2503.29 — How do you handle foreshadowing? How do you navigate building up to the ‘big reveal’?

Good question, as this is a major technique for giving continuity to a story.

Since I start my stories with a character and her agenda, and a firm idea of what will happen to end the story, I have only the vaguest idea of plot when I write. This means I often discover with my characters how they will react to an event, and why they can do this or that thing. I discover backstory as I go. Which means...

  • I backfill. That means I go back to previous chapters and add clues to support what will happen in the later chapter.

  • I emphasize a discovered bit of backstory or attribute in expectation I might use it in a future chapter. For example, in Mars Needed Women, I realized Earth would attack the Martian capitol but it wouldn't happen in that chapter. That made me realize Earth would take out a really important character doing so. I emphasized "capitol" and in the next chapter assigned a place to that "capitol" mentioning that's where the character worked. In the fatal chapter, where was the bad thing going to happen?

#WordWeavers 2503.30 — What do your characters get nostalgic about? What triggers that?

The devil-girl isn't prone to it, much. When she can legitimately tell a barkeeper that she can't drink the drink bought her by Mr. Dark and Gorgeous because she's too young, nostalgia isn't a thing. Even so, she misses her friend from childhood, even though she thinks he went on to betray her. At one point she remembers being put in a sudsy tub with him by her parents (when they were both alive, so it was before she was 5). It's a good memory.

The cover art for Mars Needed Women. The background is of the Mars surface with rover tracks, big rocks, sand, and a greenish sky. There is a triskelion image of Mars, which is a tattoo in the story. Credit NASA and ESA for the photos. The back cover reads as follows: Shanghaied May Ri struggled when the EM goon clamped an aromatic wet rag over her nose and mouth... Waking weightless and nauseated—stuffy head pounding, being floated somewhere—despite grogginess, she eyes-closed punched someone, spinning away to bounce off a wall. The click of cartilage, the thump off a bulkhead, the blare of a warning horn, and "Rig for ring spin!" rang in her ears. A tech clapped a bag over her mouth before she vomited up her last meal, while enduring the blonde's glare as blood beaded around her nose. May Ri glowered back. Sitting on the wall, dragged on her butt, her inner ear then her innards soon informed her the wall was becoming the floor. From the author: “A hopeful deeply-dystopian feminist SF story, with thinly veiled jabs at our current world's bad actors making for a bad future. Please note the past tense in the title: Mars Needed Women. The story's women are going to work to bring down the system, at least that part that's oppressing them, in a massive unscheduled disassembly.”

On est dans un paysage montagneux près de la mer. Il fait nuit et des grands oiseaux blancs volent. Un avion est posé près d'une immense statue. C'est un grand totem qui porte un masque. Sur ses bras tendus sont posés des braseros, desquels sortent des longues flammes et de la fumée. Éditions 2024
