@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social#ScribesAndMakers July 14: How objective do you feel you are when it comes to assessing your own work?
I'm probably more critical towards my own work compared to the works of others but then I also know exactly how I wanted something to be while when I assess others, I can only see their vision through their work 🙂
@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social#ScribesAndMakers – July 13: Has a bear ever featured in your work? If so, what sort of bear?
I wrote a retelling of the myth of Kallisto in which Zeus takes the appearance of Artemis to have sex with Kallisto (that version is from an ancient Greek comedic play). Artemis turns Kallisto into a bear when she realises that she is pregnant and must have cheated on her with a man 😢 🐻
@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social#ScribesAndMakers June 11: How much do you worry about what others think of your creative work?
Well, I'm a bit of an attention whore. I want readers to like it. That being said, I know that especially #erotica is very subjective and no story will please everyone. That's why I…

I think tropes exist for a reason and they can be handy tools because I don't have to explain something that is common and I *also* can play with a reader's expectation. I can only create a surprising version of Snow White i…
@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social#ScribesAndMakers June 21: Do you create work based on the creations of others? (Eg. Pop art, fan art, fan fic, etc.) Why or why not?
All the time! Most of my stories are based on mythology, which in itself is a collection of collaborative of stories by countless humans we don't know the name of. I don't write fanfiction as much any more but fandom is where I first wrote e…
@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social#ScribesAndMakers June 20: How difficult is it for you to receive criticism of your creative work?
I usually love receiving feedback on my work. Of course it can hurt if it was a work that I was emotionally invested in and people don't like it. But most often, the criticism is there for a reason and I can decide I either don't care, I don't agree, or I see their point …
