Break Week Extra | Foxfire Q&A
Added 2025-03-25 15:43:04 +0000 UTCYes, yes, this is supposed to be the RR+Amicus break week. But you know what? I feel like y'all could do with a little something fun. A bit of a "thank you" for your support that goes beyond just giving advance chapters.
And, well. That last little bonus I gave y'all for my birthday answered some questions, yes, but it definitely raised a lot more, and brought some existing questions into sharper focus.
So today, I'm giving you, the Patrons, an opportunity to skip past reading between the lines and analyzing for subtext. Until 12:00pm EST tomorrow, you can go down to the comments, and ask any question you want answered. As for what those questions might be? Well...
You can ask me, Noa, a question about the setting of Foxfire in general, or about future plans... though do keep in mind that I am under no obligation to answer.
Or, if that's not quite your speed... you could ask questions for the characters themselves. Though whether they will answer, or even can answer? Well... that depends on who and what you ask.
So go ahead — ask away!
NOTE: while I am only accepting questions from you, the patrons, the answers will be available to ALL readers — hence why I am offering this little bonus on an RR+Amicus break week, and will reveal the answers during the next. That way, the RR readership has the same level of knowledge on reading the questions' answers as y'all do when asking them.
AMICUS PATRONS: If your question would include information from the two most recent chapters you have access to, instead keep them contained to spoiler tags in the Amicus reading room on the Discord, and simply post a comment here saying that you have asked a spoiler question there.

For Naomi: Assuming you enjoy music at all, how different and difficult is it to get good quality sound given your physiological differences and heightened hearing? I would imagine headphones and even earbuds are largely out. Do you have to test out any speaker systems yourself before purchase given that they aren't really tested or reviewed for superhuman hearing? What sort of DAC do you use if you aren't using vinyl? Do you need to measure things like frequency response, impedance, and distortion yourself to get a better idea of what the listening experience will be like for you? It sounds like a lot of work, but I bet a lot of music sounds totally different for someone with your hearing compared to baseline humans.

2025-04-09 18:40:46 +0000 UTCYou write a variety of characters with different thought processes, backgrounds, personalities, and often have clashing points of view. How is it that you are able to write that diversity of characters in a believeable manner and make it feel real? I often have trouble giving characters I write a differing sense of opinions and I want to know how someone who is very good at this approaches it.

2025-03-26 03:37:45 +0000 UTCHard to narrow down to a single question. But for Naomi, what is a impact of the changes in your life that would not be noticed by anyone, but still noteworthy?

2025-03-25 17:56:27 +0000 UTCGorou and ambrose: what changes does naomi have that she hasn't noticed yet?

2025-03-25 16:52:24 +0000 UTCI guess most of my questions relate to the impact of Moonshot on popular culture. Was there a decrease in stories about people with sudden fantastical powers, or did those stories help people make sense of the changing world around then? How did the appearance of Moonshots affect the relatively new medium of video games? Did the Shin Megami Tensei series still happen/continue with Gorou as living proof of kami? And a question for Naomi, is she aware that her use of foxfire isn't a Moonshot ability?

2025-03-25 16:48:27 +0000 UTCAm I correct to assume that the "Other Fox" mentioned in Ambrose's notes is Casey?

2025-03-25 16:34:52 +0000 UTCWhat do the demographics of moonshots look like? Are they a pretty representative sample of the population at this point, or do they e.g., skew young, nonwhite, lower class or lgbt? Is Naomi going to get old at the normal rate for a human or will she live as long as Gorou would? Naomi: Opinions on award winning MMO Final Fantasy XIV, the free trial of which now includes…? (Or MMOs in general)

2025-03-25 16:19:46 +0000 UTCDoes Naomi like ear scritches and a good tail brushing? What were Naomi's University days like? Did she have a favorite professor or class? How does Ambrose feel about basically becoming Naomi's dad? What was that like for both of them as they became a family? Will we learn more about the circumstances that brought Naomi and Gorou together? What is a typical day like for Gorou and does he ever wish he had hands or at least thumbs? Has Naomi ever gotten the urge to chase a squirrel? What's the weirdest case you've had Naomi?

2025-03-25 15:58:09 +0000 UTCNaomi and Casey: Opinions on Fallout New Vegas and IKEA’s selection of stuffed animals? Gorou: What are best and worst parts about living in America and being Naomi’s roommate? Sir Ambrose Camden: Does Naomi call you Dad often? Alice Tanaka-Schotz, Esq: Has Naomi’s status as an ex-superhero (and perhaps current very obvious Moonshot) caused any logistical problems for the firm? Conversely, has it had any notable benefits? Noa N.J. Koplar: Are we ever going to get a Gorou slice-of-life interlude???

2025-03-25 15:54:42 +0000 UTCAddendum to Misty's question; has Naomi ever considered connecting more with other Moonshots? They'd be some of the few people who can really understand a lot of what she's been through and it would be interesting to see how they interact.

2025-03-25 15:50:19 +0000 UTCWhat are your plans for Naomi’s eventual lawsuit against the moon? Sorry I couldn’t resist. Do you have plans for more interactions with Moonshot? I’d love to learn more about Naomi’s past as Foxfire
