Frequently Asked Questions

• What kind of genres are you into/stories do you perfer?
  Honestly those listed on my actual profile are a good start. But really, I am fine dabbling in a ton of genres. So much in fact, that it would take me a while to list. Things from comedy, crossovers, action, adventure, video games, mangas, mecha, isekai, fantasy, magic, combat, military themes, etc to name a few. However I will never do ero stories. Romances are currently off the table as well. Really if you are unsure if I am down to dabbling into a certain theme or genre, just ask me. Worst I will say is no. Best case I will oblige!
• Do  you have a Discord, etc?
  Not at the moment, no. Best way to get a hold of me is through here. Though that may change eventually.
• Are you active? Respond right away?
  I'll be honest, I do work full time and over, with a bit of a crazy real life.  This doesn't mean I am not interested in writing, or that I will up and intentionally forget you/ghost you/treat you as a number. It just means I may hop off for a good while especially during a low muse spell. Patience is key, but feel free for a polite bump in IMs if need be.
•  An issue popped up during a story, can we discuss?
   If it concerns the story or if a theme might make my writing partner uncomfortable, feel free to let me know! Despite Tanya's own explosive/violent nature, the writer behind her is friendly and will be happy to work out any issues if need be. All I ask is be polite~ We can talk it over like adults or move on if we cannot solve the issue.
• Do you perfer IMs or Comments for stories?
  Honestly, with how Ani has it set up nowadays, I do not mind either/or! Just if you are Out of Character, it would be nice if you could indicate it with some kind of mark like // or OOC, etc~
• Steam banter?
  Oh heck yes! I love stream banters, and will happily engage in them when possible as well as set some up on my own for peeps to hop in.
• My muse isn't set in 1924/history/etc
  No sweat! That's why I love crossovers. If you are too unfamiliar with that era or wish to put a story in your ball court, then I am usually game for that. Within reason of course.

• Are you a cannon portrayal? AU?
  A good bit of both, Though personally I have her still loyal to the Empire, I write Tanya more as a chaotic neuteral more than evil as per her English title suggest.
  An interesting fun fact, Tanya the Evil is the English title, where in Japan it is known as Youjo Senki, which roughly translate as The Military Chronicles of a Little Girl. Furthermore, I have Tanya more or so opposed to Being X, the mysterious antagonist of the show than simply any creature that would call  itself a god or deity. Though given the chance,  if another entity would claim godhood to utterly ruin her chances at revenge or living a normal life, she would probably go all out on them as well.
  That all said, I can see Tanya, despite her violent, battle-forged nature, might have a redemption path while writing. But really, that stuff all depends upon the story too.
• What era is Tanya set it? Are you portraying World War 2 era Germany/Nazi themes?
    I can see this one being a worrisome/touchy subject for some. But the quick answer is a strong no on both accounts.
  While I do not mind history, and in fact am a huge history buff, I must iterate that...Despite there being a lot of fan art depiticting such~ Tanya Deguerechaff is not canonly a member of the Nazi regime, Wehrmacht, etc. Nor will I ever portray her as such nor tolerate hate groups trying to change that.
  In fact, Tanya's story is that she was born around 1914, the time when the first world war was about to erupt. But in this alternate reality where magic is real, the events that sparked the first world war never happened. Instead The Empire, Tanya's home country managed to unify itself under the ideal of all German speaking states unifying under one nation known as the Großdeutsche Lösung.
  It's a what-if scenario in where instead of an all out war, boarder skirmishes dot the outskirts of Europe, and the actual First World War becomes delayed by a decade, which brings the viewer to the setting of the show and the following movie. Furthermore, with a united Empire, Germany never falls prey to the infighting that allowed its regime change by the 1920s and thus the nazi party doesn't exist in this parallel world.
• If Tanya was born in 1914, she would be barely a teen by the time these stories takes place. How is she a seasoned soldier?
  Anime logic. Seriously though, the whole story of Youjo Senki/Tanya the Evil is an isekai. A modern day businessman whom only wants to live a lofty life safe from harm, only to be murdered by a man he fired. While this salaryman is a cold, pragmatic individual. He is  time-stopped by a mysterious god-like being seconds before he is killed. And while he rebukes this god, ultimately naming him Being X. Being X in turn punishes him by sending him back into time into this mirror universe as a reincarnation of a girl whom possesses unique magical qualities. To this end, the Salaryman, now Tanya uses her previous' life's expirence and knowlege to make a meteoric rise through a battle scarred nation as a soldier. And it is all in an effort to climb the ranks to a lofty officer's position away from the war as quick as possible. Becuase if she dies here, then she will not be able to get another reincarnation or afterlife. Simply, Being X will completely delete her from existance.
  Funnily enough, Tanya is so efficient, that her plan to get out of the action always backfires on her. In turn it's digging her deeper into front lines and having her go on more dangerous adventures~ much to her huge disdain.
