#WordWeavers 2.14 — Who does your antagonist care about?
To answer this one about Isma would be a major spoiler, so let's go with Duncan on this one. The answer is himself. He cares for no one else. He's selfish, nasty, narcissistic, and sadistic. He's a murder. You can absolutely say that not only is he one of the antagonists but he's a true villain.

#WordWeavers 2.7 — What’s the most rewarding thing about writing?
This ties in with the last prompt for me. It's enjoying things as I'm writing a story, and it's the good feeling of reading everything over once I've finished, either before or after proofreading and editing.
#WordWeavers 2.8 — What’s the most frustrating thing about writing?
Again, this ties in with the previous prompt. Hands down, it's proofreading, editing, and rewriting. The tweaking process, and polishing things off.
#WordWeavers 2.9 — Have you ever talked to a reader of your story? How did it go?
Many times. This prompt is different for someone like me, just because I started off on Fanfic and then Archive of Our Own. I have a lot of readers who also happen to be close friends of mine. A lot of them became friends through my stories. For instance, they would message me, then we started talking and became friends. Very sweet. They're always fun (or helpful, if I'm asking for it) conversations.
#WordWeavers 2.10 — Have you ever dedicated your work to someone?
Again, same as yesterday, I've done this many times. I've written tons of stories for friends. It's actually one of my favorite things to do as well, whether it's my original work or something for Doctor Who, The Thick of It, The Hour, Star Wars, Sherlock Holmes, etc.
#WordWeavers 2.11 — MC POV: Sit down, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. What do you see in your mind’s eye?
Alistair: It's the same thing, the same person, even, I *most likely* see while I'm asleep. I'm willing to chance it. He's the one nightmare I can't free myself of. Aside from Isma, that is, but that's another story entirely.
(Small aside, because he doesn't know but I do, he's right. He *does* dream of Duncan.)

#WordWeavers 2.12 — What would you tell a fellow writer who was struggling with self-doubt?
To just keep writing. Never stop. Self-doubt is our greatest enemy.
