#SFFChat Q4. If they wanted to get away, just ask for Sareena's help. Sareena, who HAS got away with many crimes, including the destruction of various sanctuaries and temples and the assassination of people in various ranks and roles.

#SFFChat Q4 Sam built an illegal radio so he could listen to music outside of the Republic because he thinks state approved music is ass 🤡 bro is (in the Republic's eyes) committing treason because the beats are bad

#SFFChat Q4: So! All of the crew barring Fest and Mortimer have got away with murder, several times - Sabbat's an assassin, Viola's an enforcer for the Order (the secret society they're all in), and Archer used to be a spy. Sabbat's also a thief, and he and Archer used to be pirates, so XD

#SFFChat Alstair violates the regulations for light magic all the time, but he's very careful. Trest is thief, and a damned good one. In other works, I have assassins, thieves, grifters, smugglers, outlaws in general..

#SFFChat Pherul has indeed gotten away with a crime: he stole a cake of mana from his employer to contact Rithu in Mozaa Karphel. It's in the sequel that he will embark on a daring new criminal career

#SFFChat Q3 One of many

#SFFChat Q2: I have a very deep love of thieves/assassins guilds and similar organised/semi-organised criminal underworlds, and very much enjoy seeing them in SFF (including the satirical versions in Discworld), which is why the Right People (the criminal underworld of Sacaan) work the way they do

#SFFChat Q3: I've been reading a lot of T Kingfisher lately, so Slate and Brenner from the Clocktaur War books definitely should get a mention. Also Mildmay from The Doctrine of Labyrinths, Mal from Firefly, Han Solo from Star Wars, the Leverage crew, Moist von Lipwig from Discworld...

#SFFChat Robin Hood is an obvious one, and vigilante superheroes. Malcolm Reynolds is way up there. Dean and Sam Winchester. All the characters that are going to come to mind three hours from now...

#SFFChat Q4: If your MC could commit a crime and they were guaranteed to get away with it, what would they do? If they HAVE got away with a crime, what?

#SFFChat Raskolnikov? I'm kidding! How about Mildmay from Sarah Monette's Melusine? He's a burglar and a sullen baby, and his biggest selling point is that his name is something bonkers like mild-may-your-suffering-be-at-the-hands-of-sinners or something to that effect. 😂

#SFFChat Q3: Share a favourite fictional criminal!

#SFFChat Q2: How does your own approach compare with crime and criminals in SFF more broadly? Or, just talk about how crime tends to feature in SFF
