I did have a question about Doomslug and M-Bot, where they came from?
Those are questions that will be answered, I promise.
Are they connected?
That's what we call a RAFO, Read And Find Out. You will find out; I'm not gonna tell you know. You'll find out some of those answers in the next book.
What does M-Bot have against Doomslug and Rig?
M-Bot treats Rig kind of like you might treat a doctor. Even though he's good for you, you may not enjoy having someone poke around at you.
With Doomslug, it isn't that he has a lot against Doomslug. Doomslug just isn't a good conversationalist. She does a lot of repeating back at you what you say. So getting trapped only with Doomslug would be--
Can the second book have Doomslug with a bow?
In a bow? I will try to get Doomslug a bow.
How smart is Doomslug?
Doomslug is, I would say, of not animal level intelligence. Of above animal intelligence.
I am subscribed to the, "Doomslug is the hyperdrive," theory. Can you confirm or deny?
I cannot confirm or deny.
What was your inspiration for making Doomslug? It's a very fun character.
You know, it was basically me wanting to have a pet sea slug and it just not being something you can do in real life. And I knew I wanted a creature that had some import to the worldbuilding and I settled on something that I thought would look cute.
What does Doomslug eat?
Doomslug eats mushrooms, among other things... I don't want to say anything more.
I know, I was trying to find something that wouldn't be RAFO'd
Yeah that's actually shockingly relevant of a question, so-- Hmm!
Will we see more animals like that strange slug?
You will indeed see more of both Doomslug and creatures like her.
Did Doomslug come with the ship or the cave?
You will have an answer to that in book 2. So that's a RAFO, with a promise.
Is Doomslug the cytonic hyperdrive?
That is a RAFO.
Is M-Bot intelligent and sentient?
Yes. M-Bot is, I would say, above animal intelligence but not quite human level intelligence. Oh no, M-Bot? I thought you were saying Doomslug. I would say M-Bot is above human intelligence and is sapient, is sentient.
Is Doomslug capable of using Hypertravel as well as taking matter with her?
RAFO. Doomslug will be very important to the next book. She's very relevant to the events of the book coming out in December.
Are there other colors of "Doomslugs"?
There is slight variation
Is "Doomslug" Doomslug's real name?
"Doomslug" is not Doomslug's real name but Doomslug will accept that name from Spensa. Doomslug would have a name in Doomslug language.
Are you going to try and pronounce that for us?
No.
If you had to guess, which gender would be Doomslug?
Spensa thinks Doomslug's a she, and so I would go with that.
The way she looks kind of looks like a boy but the way she talks kind of just sounds like a girl so it gets confusing.
Telling gender on the slugs is not terribly easy.
I wonder if you got the inspiration for Doomslug's character from your parrot Magellan?
I wrote Doomslug before i had Magellan. However, I have had pet birds since I was a kid. I love parrots. Other people are dog people or cat people; I am a parrot person. So, I basically always had a parrot. There was a period in my life where the kids were young that my cockatiel Beaker went to live with my mom because the kids were tormenting him. Now they're old enough, and they're afraid enough of Magellan that we can have a parrot again. So, parrot behavior influences a lot of how I treat animal behavior because of that. So, yes.
I was wondering when are we going to get Doomslug plushies?
We are really considering it. We've heard horror stories from our friends who have made plushies. That the prototypes just all turn out terrible. That it's really hard to get someone to make a good plushie. So, we've been scared to try, but we've had some people come and offer.
On the JordanCon website, Deana just posted instructions on how to make your own.
Okay, there you go.
I've got a question about Doomslug. Is she going to get a part as more than just the mascot of the series.
That is a RAFO.
What about... Doomslug? What's up with Doomslug?
Doomslug will be answered pretty soon... Doomslug is relevant.
