Happy Friday, friends! We made it through the week 😌 On Fridays, we're going to ask a question about books. Sometime it'll be for writers, sometimes for readers, sometimes both!
Today's #WritingQ: WHY is your MC the MC? What is their motivation to play that role? Did something happen to them?

Ganale will vigorously correct anyone who refers to him as a commander (of shipgirls) despite an ever-growing task force. #ProjectBLUESTAR

Lilian loves sweets, especially cakes. However, her favorite sweets are these hard candies she makes, a recipe she learned from her mother.

Seno does his morning sword training with Motoko, and going up and down those stairs in front of the Hinata are cardio in their own right.
Ganale (begrudgingly) does regular PT every other morning.

Part of the lore for #ProjectBLUESTAR is that the movie had been about to come out in 2012 when the Abyssal-Siren War started, so they canned it. 4 years later they decided to rewrite it and reshoot it so they could include shipgirls, including Missouri in the starring role as herself.

The whole protagonist cast of #ProjectBLUESTAR are military so that goes without saying. Most of #ProjectArashi doesn't really involve governmental figures, but the king of MolMol is a pretty cool dude. And now that I think about it, one of the main cast is a princess so I guess there's that.
Are their any positive figures in your story's government?

Off the top of my head, I can't think of many, but holy crap I am terrible about introducing things out of the blue that I later have to go and write side content for to properly introduce. I've generally got control of it for #ProjectBLUESTAR but #ProjectArashi is still a hot mess.

The Kuro crew in #ProjectArashi are already up against an immortal menace with similar stakes. They got some tricks. In #ProjectBLUESTAR, these guys would get the Sirens to prematurely show that they're actually humanity's allies, and the Abyssals would not be happy about the competition.
#WritingQ your MC or Antagonist has their world invaded by an army of powerful monsters called Devoid Spirits who want to kill all of humanity. They are appearing everywhere and their leader Efaris is able to regenerate from anything and is immune to poison or radiation. How fucked is their world?

Having a bit of fun with the Gundam/carrier ops-inspired Iowa launch scene I'm cooking for #ProjectBLUESTAR. I've always enjoyed fight scenes.
But I still say that my four-part, multi-story payoff romance scene in #ProjectArashi is (going to be) my magnum opus.

I was about to say some serious #ProjectArashi spoilers before I caught myself in time.
I guess it'd also be a spoiler for #ProjectBLUESTAR but this will be so buried by the time I write that scene, so Ganale got in a fist fight with an Abyssal and is on a carrier that's trying to sink.

In #ProjectArashi it's maybe. The greater threat came directly out of Seno but fools everyone into thinking he's the LESSER threat. In #ProjectBLUESTAR the greater threat hasn't yet been revealed so everyone thinks it's still the Sirens and Abyssals.

Naturally, #ProjectBLUESTAR being about shipgirls means this trope is right out the window, but even fantasy-ish #ProjectArashi has military groups that are effective.
