Does you antagonist believe you MC has a chance of succeeding?

Within the context of Finora and the Mer-Princes: Of course, that's why they did what they did. (to say more would be to spoil)

Within the context of the Fjekres: that doesn't come into their line of reasoning at all.

Who's the first character you created for this work?

Oooh, I really like this question.

Most of the main characters for #Watermyth were created in the 1990s, some years before the hypertext came into being. I think the first Yrejveree character was The Wild Maiden of the Trees, sometime in 1993 -- a story fragment I scribbled down in an exercise book, followed by Ipede Dwinkum in 1994 -- I typed out his story during WordPerfect class, lol.

I think it'll have to be Ipede for #Watermyth because the Wild Maiden doesn't really factor much in the novel and Ipede's just a background character who never really walks in.

For the MCs, the first character created would be Finora, actually. She happened sometime in 1997.

I started writing (putting together older hypertext novellas from the 90s, tbh) Watermyth in 2009. Can scarcely believe I'm nearly at the finish line as far as publication goes. Kind of apt to self-publish given it evolved from my hypertext project into something bigger and more complex. But it's the beginning of another journey because the Cantata of the Fourfold Realms may very well be five novels rather than four. I'm going to be kept very busy indeed!
