5.) pick a theme song for the tv adaptation.

okay so I'm gonna answer this for Meraki since theyre my babies. it's space song by beach house. I can't be fucking normal about that song ever and honestly in any TV adaptation of ANY of my stories that song would probably be somewhere

maybe also I'd Rather Sleep by Kero Kero Bonito. since. y'know. Meraki is about a literal dream world. maybe space song is the end credits and I'd rather sleep is the theme? idk.

6.) speaking of tv adaptations, why would yours get cancelled? (other than capitalism)

they actually all live in a fully functional communist society (it was an accident but like I was looking through worldbuilding and realized that they don't have a government they all just vibe around) and not a single one of them is cishet. like they don't really do "gender" unless they feel like it and I feel like that would upset some people. like it's "oversaturated with gayness" or something. idk what else people would cancel for, maybe annoyed about how some kind of disability is portrayed or smth. or angry that there aren't really any disabled characters? since I don't currently have any planned besides like. you look and you're like "oh that character is NOT neurotypical."

8.) what inspired your world building, if anything?

uhhhh I think an inspiration for Meraki in particular was Wings of Fire and Pokemon? like when I VERY first started working on it the only media I'd only been exposed to those two things so I didn't really have anything else to go off of. but it's really more of it's own thing, I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it.

9.) if your story got a video game adaptation/spin off, what would it be like? if your project is already a video game, do this for a novelization.

Omori vibes ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. like typical lighthearted fantasy rpg that turns into Omori that turns into Yumi Nikki I'm talking the WEIRDEST gameplay you've ever had. you start out with a defined set of quests and lots of goofy carefree characters and you witness the coolest character payoffs ever and the gameplay gradually getting more and more muddled and end floating in a shapeless void with no idea what you just experienced but you are going to be mentally ill for it.

and then, at the very end, you will cry. you will cry. the game, like the story, ends on a light note and a return to at least mostly-normal gameplay, but... it's changed. the colors are more muted, but you're just so thankful they're there at all. the character dialogue is a bit more tired than before, but you're just glad there's characters to interact with. yeah.
