--What aspect of your current WiP's story world are you most excited to explore, and what drew you to create it this way?

I'm really curious about Clark's possible connection to Native American culture! The canon has only brushed the topic slightly so I'd like to unpack it more myself, if I can do the research to get it at least not offensively wrong. There's a new comic out in the series so I'm looking forward to getting my hands on it and seeing if there's anything more!

--What's the most surprising thing your main character has revealed about themselves as you've been writing?

Unfortunately I haven't gotten very far into it, but I think I've been startled to realize how lonely this version of Clark is. He's often kind of isolated, but it doesn't seem like either Lana or Pete in Victorian Smallville know anything about his secret, and the Kents are nowhere to be found so far. There are no other Kryptonians (and it seems that in this world, the Kryptonians are an evil empire, so maybe we don't want to meet them!) so as far as the comic book has shown, Bruce is the only person who knows his secret--and immediately shows that he's willing to keep it. I was very charmed by this!

I think others are much further into their current WiPs, so what's been surprising you there?
