2017-11-25: I'm a Displacee, Ask Me Anything - Bob Schroeck - 07-14-2026
Chapter 1 of I'm a Displacee, Ask Me Anything has been posted to AO3.
This is the prologue to what we intend to be an interactive story: displacees doing AMAs on Reddit. We have a list of displacees who will be taking part, and while we've come up with a few questions for them of our own, we are actively soliciting questions from the readers; we'll accept them both here and in the comments on AO3.
The first AMA will be Shinji Ikari from Evangelion.

Assuming, of course, that we actually get any questions for him to answer.
If you don't want to use AO3, feel free to ask them here...

It's a good thing we already have more questions queued up for him than any of the other planned displacees, then.
RE: 2017-11-25: I'm a Displacee, Ask Me Anything - Mamorien - 07-17-2026
I see you've got your first outside question for Shinji, even though, as the characters in Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell might say, the question is a wrong one.
RE: 2017-11-25: I'm a Displacee, Ask Me Anything - Bob Schroeck - 07-18-2026
<nod> And it's been incorporated into what we have. We still want more, though.
RE: 2017-11-25: I'm a Displacee, Ask Me Anything - robkelk - 07-18-2026
We also have a question for Shinji that we received in an unrelated conversation. That one's also been incorporated into what we have.
Keep them coming, please!

Chapter Two -- Shinji's AMA of I'm a Displacee, Ask Me Anything has been posted to AO3. Because it uses special formatting, we can't really post it here.
The next chapter will be Ranma Saotome's AMA. Feel free to lob us questions.
RE: 2017-11-25: I'm a Displacee, Ask Me Anything - Dartz - 08-19-2026
Someone has to ask the obvious question, don't they?
How do you find clothes that fit both Ranmas?
RE: 2017-11-25: I'm a Displacee, Ask Me Anything - Bob Schroeck - 08-19-2026
But of course. Adding that to the chapter now. Not answering yet, but adding it.

There'll probably be a reference to... inappropriate... submissions being removed from the list of questions being presented to Ranma, but I foresee at least one question asking his opinion on the transgender community.
RE: 2017-11-25: I'm a Displacee, Ask Me Anything - Mamorien - 08-24-2026
If you weren't already planning for someone to ask Ranma how he became Shinji's honorary big bro, I strongly suggest it. If you were, good number.
RE: 2017-11-25: I'm a Displacee, Ask Me Anything - Bob Schroeck - 08-26-2026
Mamorien, we did, and we've replaced the redditor we invented with your handle.
Terrace, there is now.
Thank you both!

You don't have to do that... unless you also add the querent wondering whether the brotherhood happened because of Asuka's relocation (or indeed vice versa).

You're welcome, and thank you.
Oh, and while I have your attention, would it be okay if I plugged IADAMA* on the Eyrie forums like I did "Blend-In"? (In the Media conference this time.) Or would you like to do that solicitation yourself?
* Oh right, we don't have any Galactica displacees, that'd be Nike.

Of course we have to do that. We want this to be an interactive story, so rejecting interaction is, on the whole, a bad thing.

I can't speak for Bob here, but I think somebody else spreading the word about our stories is better than us talking about them. It shows that you're actually reading our words.

What Rob said.
RE: 2017-11-25: I'm a Displacee, Ask Me Anything - Dartz - 08-29-2026
I do have to wonder if anyone has done any scientific testing on Ranma's transformation.
Is there a minimum quantity of water? Is there a minimum temperature? Does quantity of water vary with temperaturer which implies some sort of phase change is at play? Does the quantity of water change with time spent in any particular form.
We can science the shit out of this.
I am drinking.
RE: 2017-11-25: I'm a Displacee, Ask Me Anything - Labster - 08-29-2026
It's a great question set, and we should add it. Plenty of our characters want to science the shit out of magic. Not sure about the answer, but I'm reminded of El Goonish Shive, where being dramatic is part of how magic works. Except replace dramatic with funny.
Also, you tend to write more freely when slightly buzzed, so this is fine.
RE: 2017-11-25: I'm a Displacee, Ask Me Anything - Bob Schroeck - 08-29-2026
And now someone has asked Ranma that. Thanks, Dartz!
