GOBLIN VAULT - Thoughts on the Ranch
Added 2018-05-07 02:46:12 +0000 UTCHello, my lovelies! Here's a little thing I wrote about my thoughts on writing The Monstrous Ranch, in hindsight. I hope you enjoy!
Also, let me know if you'd like to see more "behind-the-scenes" stuff like this up on the Vault in the future!

Thanks so much! It was important to me to talk about it a little bit in this story. It's a big part of how I got engaged with the concept in a more serious sense.

2018-06-02 06:13:59 +0000 UTCYou mention wanting to question traditional ideas about punishment of the “wicked”. As someone who’s pretty deeply skeptical of prisons and punitive justice here on Earth, I found myself wondering early on how to translate that skepticism into the Cloistered Lands. You did a very good job of that! There are lots of writers who would’ve written a setting like the Ranch without even addressing the question of whether it’s a just situation. And one of the things I most appreciate about your writing is that you do grapple with moral questions like those. Thanks.

2018-05-07 23:55:24 +0000 UTCWhat Carol J said, lol. I am in awe of your writing abilities... I caiught onto Bobbin when I reread chapter 12 I believe, after Senya had been rescued from Lady Valina by the Puppy Sprites. When Bobbin called Senya “livestock “and herself “boss”. However, you wrote Bobbin masterfully and I wasn’t too sure, lol.
