![Author Panel: 10 Rapid Fire Questions About Magic, Fantasy, and More [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FOUZKxAT8aA/mqdefault.jpg "Author Panel: 10 Rapid Fire Questions About Magic, Fantasy, and More [CC]
I chat with Payal, Vanessa, Akshaya, and June about all things magic and fantasy from the vampire and werewolf debate to their favourite and least favourite parts of worldbuilding.
As a note, I know this is a long video considering the rapid fire title. This is something new Im doing so Im still learning haha. In future (minus the second upcoming one which is already filmed) I will likely cut down to five questions to get that faster paced and short video content that Im hoping to achieve with this series. So this time around, enjoy the extra content! :D BUT that being said, I have included time stamps below in case you want to hop around
0:00 Introduction
00:14 Describe your book in a sentence + your name, book title and release date
01:51 Contemporary fantasy or high fantasy?
03:54 Describe the type of magic in your book using three words
04:43 Chosen one trope, love or loathe?
07:57 Favorite part of world building?
12:32 Vampires or werewolves?
16:18 Least favorite part of world building?
20:41 Magical objects or magical people?
23:55 What is something you used as inspiration for your magic system or world?
29:47 Would you rather, have magic but also have your MC’s fatal flaw OR not have magic but have your MC’s best non-magical skill?
AUTHOR GUEST INFORMATION BELOW
