I love that you have put yourself out there, advocating for plus size cosplayers. You do such a great job of articulating your point, it really defuses the arguments the haters make. I am also such a huge fan of your writing. You create such memorable characters and plotting. However, there is one aspect that kinda takes me out of the stories. It's your tendency to use "creative spelling" for some of the names. It may just be me, but it feels like you're trying too hard to be clever with it.

Thanks for the kind words, anon.  And I’m glad you like my writing, too!  As for names, here’s my terrible secret: I’m TERRIBLE with names, and I do try too hard.  I don’t know what it is  >.<  I think in my attempt to make people memorable, I think they need some snazzy cool name.  My partner is much better with coming up with names, like in our upcoming book together there’s some really awesome names, and for some reason my brain is like, “Uh I guess I could name him Peter NO THAT’S TOO SIMPLE OMG STFU let’s spell it weird…”  I think I’m getting a bit better at it, though, as I keep writing  :)
