Chronaverse Q and A
AND HERE ARE THE ANSWERS! I do want to keep this going for future reference (again, no spoiler-y questions, but anything else is fine) so if anyone wants to ask questions on this page or the last page I'll just tag you once I've updated the page with your answer. I've also moved this chapter back so that it IS the chapter after the question page. Thank you for your questions!
~The author
jadewolf334 asks... How did the High Auspicia come to be?
Avery: I've got the history questions! The High Auspicia (known as "The Princess" in earlier drafts, such as Double Rainbow through Roses and Thorns), monarch of Dreamland, has been around almost- but not quite- as long as Dreamland itself has. She was a seraph fashioned from Verhamera's heart, who wandered the worlds before coming to Dreamland, uniting Hope and Determination to rally against the Obsidian threat, and upon driving them back created the Veil to protect us. Along the way she was forced into the position on the advent of the death of the previous monarch.
Aislyn: That's... that's about right.
Natrina: Sounds solid to me. Of course, The Gardenkeeper's Daughters goes over this in more detail.
Nahr-Al-Arnab asks... Give a brief summary of what Dreamland and Chronaverse is in general.
Marcecee: I've got this. The 'Chronaverse' is a pet name for the multiverse all of Chrona's works appear in. Technically, the fanfictions (Warriors, Pokemon, and that weird-ass Homestuck bit) all fall under this umbrella, but due to pesky things like copyright, their stories aren't considered 'canon' to the original Chronaverse works.
The Chronaverse has certain distinguishing features, such as a nine-element magic system that occurs throughout worlds- each element represents an element (light, fire, water, etc.), a virtue (hope, determination, love), and a fundamental aspect of reality (these are a little more complicated and still under development, but physical matter and energy waves have been established as two of them). Through these nine elements, reality itself can be manipulated by certain beings... I believe you would call this 'magic'. Another feature of the Chronaverse is the existence of celestial beings like angels or seraphim, classes of beings which have abilities like immortality or paradox detection and prevention. They're more intertwined with the very nature of the universe. Wings and horns are also often seen as symbols of divine power throughout these books, as well as the color gold or golden coloration of the irises, the latter of which represents interuniversal connection between beings.
Rena: Dreamland is the most fleshed-out world within the original sphere of the Chronaverse. It's a world that contains no humans, instead, it is populated with animals incapable of speech or thought and the reasoning Sentients, who while resembling animals, are actually highly magical beings. Sentient species each have a different way with which they interact and manipulate magic. The most populous Sentient species are Canii, who warp space, and Canira, who are elemental magicians. Dreamland is ruled by the High Auspicia, a seraph and powerful monarch, through the will of Verhamera, their goddess.
Indy: Chaos ensues.
Rena: That's what life entails, yes.
Nahr-Al-Arnab asks... who is your favorite character you've ever written?
Gale: Me.
Orcafin: Get out.
Bronze: *raises hand*
Rena: I'm the oldest. Of course I'm her favorite.
(Okay in all honesty my favorite changes... weekly. Gale was easily my favorite for close to a year, it's been the Deja Vu cast often recently, and Axiom is another hot pick. I went through a Bronze/Lilly/Ashley phase for most of seventh and eighth grade, Dark Rainbow/Iris and Torch were my precious kids for almost as long, but it's true that there's a special place in my heart for Rena/The Auspicia due to seniority. I love all my characters for different things, though, so one favorite is hard to define.)
Nahr-Al-Arnab asks... How do each of your books fit into the Chronaverse?
Ashleap: Technically, I'm a seraphim and my powers are what currently fills the tunnels.
Bronze: Auspexism. Lots and lots of auspexism.
Phoenixstar: BOY HOWDY I NEVER GET TO TALK HEY MOUSEBRAINS WHAT'S COOKING
Anyways the DC books collectively are in a weird place because they're not canon to each other. Make of that what you will? I'd say similar themes and there was this whole ordeal with Vengeance that linked into an established Chronaverse world that's currently being redone. Foxes, anyone?
(All that said you can read the fanfics as Chronaverse or just fanfiction. :V)
Ylva: We're on a non-Veiled Earth world that recieves frequent dragon visits.
Anthem: "The Veins" are a dormant Ophaboros, ancestors of the Elysian dragons. If anyone knew what we were up to, the Elysians would conquer the world Deja Vu takes place in faster than you can say "forced universe integration".
Fenris: Do we get to talk about our book?
Rena: No.
Fenris: What?
Rena: We will be here all day if we go into the auxiliary stories. Wait until you get published.
Dylan: We're getting published soon! We're in a semi-Veiled Earth where the first Obsidian or Interdimensional War left artifacts, including a Canis horn, whose magical signature became the blueprint for our creation-
Rena: Alright I think they get the point.
Nahr-Al-Arnab asks... Could you provide a timeline for the order of each of your books?
Aislyn: As someone who was kind of there:
-The Gardenkeeper's Daughters (ignore the DC scene in here because time is perpetually in flux due to temporal instability)
(100 years)
-Roses and Thorns
(untold ages)
[LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE]
The time at which the fanfiction/auxiliary stories takes place does not matter because they have no major effect on overbearing/Dreamlandian canon. As a rule of thumb Double Rainbow/TSBS comes first because Obsidians but everything after that not explicitly stated to be in some order (series) is fair game...
Nahr-Al-Arnab asks... All of your books are a part of Chronaverse, right?
Avery: See above. (Technically, yes.)
Tobias: Okay, technically some of the heavy aux stuff doesn't fit with established Chronaverse lore, so some side stories... kind of count?
Ashleap: and for copyright reasons, again, we're not involved in this.
Nahr-Al-Arnab asks... How do you manage to create such intricate world building?
Rena: Because we're her muse, obviously!
Gale: She doesn't have many friends. Or a social life.
Orcafin: Probably a little crazy.
Gale: Absolutely.
Orcafin: I can't think of any other reason she'd do this all in-character.
(Okay. Honestly I've been doing this since I was VERY young so it's not something I can turn off. It's more of an intuitive thought process that goes on almost perpetually in my head. If you want to get into it yourself, I recommend bringing a notebook around and writing down fragments of prose (people say the darnedest things) and ideas as they come to you. If you get yourself in the habit, you will eventually begin to generate stories. Once you have them, give your stories about five months to develop... if you still care that much later, and you've worked out most of the kinks, it's probably worth telling. From there let it develop naturally. Things will almost always fill themselves in.)
AwsomeDragons asks... Evan, who do you have a crush on?
Evan: *SPITS OUT COFFEE*
Adam: Wait, we got asked something?
Evan: NOPE WE DIDN'T NOTHING
Adam: ...
Megan: ... well don't let us stop you
Evan (once they're out of sight, obviously): Adam is the most attractive man I've ever met in my life. He's kind of an asshole, but you know what? I can deal with that. Megan, on the other hand, she's just sweet. I don't think anyone's been that nice to me in years. I k-kind of have a hardcore crush on both of them? I mean, I think they reciprocate, but I'll just wait that out.
Serena: nice
Evan: FUCK YOU
----------------------------------
Bronze: That took forever.
Orcafin: Well, we got them up on Sunday.
Bronze: Wrong Sunday!
Orcafin: Tsk. At least they got up. Last time we toggled the fourth wall an entire book was sucked into the ether, never to be read again.
Evan: Thank goodness it wasn't a book anyone cared about.
Orcafin: I know two hundred and seven ways to kill a man, only forty of which will leave your corpse identifiable for your loved ones.
Evan: Bitch, please-
Adam: Alright! You two edgelords go sit in the corner. Opposite corners.
Rena: And hence draws the Q and A as it currently stands to an end. We look forwards to seeing you soon!
