#TBBChat A3:
Dropping Drake into today's world would be moving him 50 years into the past, but he's an immortal dragon and already done all this. For the others, their hop backwards would introduce them to tech that no longer exists in their world, like video games and social media. #WriteSky

#TBBChat A2:

Yes, tech is widely available. Rural areas will have less access, of course, but solar and wind are plentiful. Occasionally, you'll find old tech, like gas-powered cars, in poorer areas.

#TBBChat A1:
My WIP, A Dragon for Darius, is set in the near future. The tech my characters use is being developed now, or, in some cases, R&D departments are just one or two breakthroughs from achieving it. Post-climate disaster, solar, wind, and electric are the main power sources. #WriteSky

#TBBChat I'm late. I'm going to answer these anyway and look through the books here. I read the intros and thought, OMG! I have to get in on these books!

I'm Sherrie, I write fantasy, cozy horror, and I'm finishing up my first Scifantasy. For my day job, I'm a teacher at a children's shelter.

Mega is a big fan of the World Wide Web. She helps run/buils a blog and messageboard. She's not as used to having a cell phone and texting as Bryce is because she just got one for the first time. She keeps forgetting to bring it with her.

#tbbchat but just uses it at a bare minimum. people have to remind him to check social media every once in awhile

me: i loved technology from '05. i miss it. things are too complex now & unnecessary but i can say: without platforms like discord, i wouldn't have a social life. so i owe it for that.

#tbbchat a4- most of my characters are comfortable with the current level of technology from '05. gordon, i think, might be the only outlier. he pretty much doesn't like any of it & is forced to have a phone on him for emergencies. he gets a little okay with the older he gets, realizing it's useful…
