《Binary Soul》Afterword: Q&A with the author
Advertisement
Me again! Thought I'd have a separate place where you guys can ask me things. I promise to answer any and all questions to the best of my ability, so don't hold back!
And for those asking - yes, I do plan on posting a link here when I start work on the next series. I plan to keep the lighthearted, fluffy and comedic tone of the story, though the style will be a bit different. It will also be set on a different continent, so look forward to a plethora of new characters along with some old ones making cameos.
P.S. It seems the paragraph about Kelly got lost in the final edit, whoops! Heh, it wouldn't be a proper ending without me screwing something up. I've edited it back in now, apologies for the mix up.
Do you plan to make a few more sidestories or extra chapters? (Besides the next series)
Sorry, but no. That's it. No more. Finito. Finished. Done. Over. Over and done.
And do you plan to make pdf or epub versions for download?
Sorry, no. However, if someone else does me that favor, please PM it to me and I'll share it with everyone else.
EDIT: Here you go. Link graciously provided by Walty.
What happened to the erotic side stories? is it over? XD
Well, I never made any promises about keeping that particular thing updated. It was just an experiment, anyway.
How do Archons reproduce? Because they might be Kira and Ellie's only hope to have grandchildren...
Much like how Ellie and Kira did it - they just have feel-good-times with their chosen loved ones and another super yuri-yuri miracle child is born! I guess the closest example I can give is the Asari from the Mass Effect universe.
Also, if I were to find you, lock you up in a basement and feed you only when you write a chapter, would you write faster?
Maybe, but faster isn't always better. The content will be of sub-standard quality and extremely unsatisfying. Trust me, that is a path that will lead only to disaster. So please don't lock me up in a basement ._.
What happened to Skittles, will we see her in the next story?
All of the titans simply moved on with their lives and kept doing what they do. Only with less oversight and nobody holding the leash. So... expect quite a lot of nonsense from them in the next book!
As for Skittles specifically, she simply moved on with her journey across the ocean. No more, no less.
Did the steelmother ever finish off that spider infestation?
She did, yes. That was just a ruse caused by the Voice to keep her busy and away from Kira and Ellie. It didn't want the titans it had decieved taking too close a look at the moons. Wouldn't want another going rogue like Black Skittles did!
Do dwarves drink and drive at a higher percentage than werewolves?
Nobody drinks more than a werewolf, mate. Not even other werewolves!
Also did we ever find out what happened to the merpeople?
They simply weren't a part of the story and were largely uninfluenced by the events here. Well, other than the moon blowing up.

What is exactly ellie's domain??
Titans are not gods. They don't have domains, just areas of expertise. Ellie's area of expertise was always breaking things - bones, common sense, people's pride, mountains etc. That hasn't really changed...
And the titan is really ellie or is nano? Or both?
Only Ellie. Nano's just along for the ride.
How long an archon's lifespan?
Haven't really given it much thought. Let's say 120 years on average.
And would their body dissolve overtime after death or just stay in clear crystals and one day become some wierdoes jewelry?
They're still living beings that grow up and eventually decompose.
With all the yuri marrages can they all have kids of their own and if so what race would they be?
EDIT: Nope. The super yuri yuri miracle children were only possible because of Kira and Ellie's unique circumstances.
Will there ever be male Archons? I'm guessing there are no males because both the progenitors are female, but what happens later on when they fall in love with a male and have kids with him?
Their blueprint is a combination of two women, and their progeny won't inherit genetic material, just the essence of the partner's mana. So I really don't see male archons appearing.
Will they be like the female only races like harpys and lamias?
Basically this, yes.
Did Nano ever get a grasp on magic?
He is still unable to manipulate magic directly. He really doesn't need it though, trust me.
Did the blow up moon get absorbed by the other moon or is there a glorious astroid blood ring around the planet now?
The remains of the moon eventually fell down to the planet. Part of them burned up on re-entry and the rest were intercepted and disposed of by the titans.
I'm surprised the royal family was okay with a lesbian marriage, what with the politics of royal marriages and the need for biological children.
To answer your unasked question - there is still a perfectly healthy prince to assume the throne. That and King Fred always wanted at least his daughter to marry out of love rather than politics.
A simple question, how was Yuri when they told all the "same person" thing? I really want to know.
Let's just say it's a good thing Kelly was there to introduce her to the joys of drowning one's problems in ale. That werewolf-made stuff should really be marketed as a medicine that treats I-minded-things-too-much disease.
Will any elements from Ellie's universe be appearing in the sequel? Particularly other telekinesis users, the one who made Ellie into a weapon in the first place, straight up aliens, other starship crashes, or an enemy sentient nanomachine swarm?
Maaaaaaybe :^)
Do you have any plans of a reverse crossover, like a citizen of this world crosspver to Ellie's original one (I think that would be interesting.)?
Reverse summoning, huh? Wouldn't be very interesting. They'd be unable to use magic so it would be just a regular joe in a sci-fi universe.
Okay, that's kind of interesting, but not something I want to write about.
WHATS SO WRONG WITH YURI X AURA!?

Technically speaking, nothing. They're not directly related or anything. It'd just be super fucking weird to bang your mom from a parallel universe. Kind of hot, but also weird.
Also, any chance there will be an ambiguously gay, blond vampire with a god complex that's way to attached to his brother's body? If there will be can you please name him......Donny Ignacio Orelios?
...
No.
In a past side chapter, the one who reveled nano's past, it is said that nano was a human (or something alive at least) and had his mind "warped"(or copied?) in a machine as to make a "perfect ai", dosn't it make him a being with a soul??
He has a 'soul' in the metaphysical sense, but it's ultimately just a machine that can be rebooted, repaired, rebuilt, backed-up or copied over. What Nano lacks is a soul in the supernatural/magical sense. He needs one of THOSE in order to manipulate mana.
And for the record yes, Nano's past memories were simply a copy - data that was implanted and never truly his own.
Can you give Ellie and Kira's titan powers? I mean Umph and the other titan could turn back time,what are their perks?
No. What's the fun in that?
Is the next sequel Aura have a lover instantly like this or a partner turn lover romance plot(-ish?)
I think it'll happen naturally over time.
Care to give one or two lines story for side characters like oldboun?,and others and like Ellie beating up Kira's old bullies?
Please stop begging me. It's unsightly. I already wrote an epilogue that's 3 times longer than other chapters, you'll have to be satisfied with that.
Only three Kira's are transported (mysteriously) into this world?
Who knows? Certainly not me ~~
I forgot to ask with my prior questions, but how did they deal with the astrophysicial impacts of having one the Moons blown up? Even if we assume that Titans can deal with the earthquakes, volcanos, tornados and others, the disappearence of a moon should have at least accelerate the rotation of the planet (the gravitational pull of the Moon is slowing down the planet). This means that the day-night cycle should have slowly become faster over the years, which would have destroyed the climate all over the world.
So how did they deal with that? Titans' magic?
I don't know nearly enough about astrophysics to answer this question.
"It's your loos if you mind it" has always been my way of subtly telling my readers "please don't ask me difficult questions."
EDIT: Jade Vanadium answered this question on my behalf. My hat's off to you, good sir/madam.
A note from a physicist: Since Khamis jr. was already making regular adjustments to its orbit, and wasn't really supposed to be there in the first place, it's probably safe to assume that the planet/moon system will be fine without it. Since a lot of the debris landed on either the main planet, or the moon Khamis, it's likely that both experienced an increase of mass, and a similar increase of rotational inertia with respect to the mass center of the whole system (The difference being equal to the rotational momentum of the destroyed moon, slightly less if you account for mass that escaped the system). That most likely won't change the rotational period of the planet, but the orbit of the remaining moon should be slightly more eliptical. I mind it so you don't have to
TL;DR To answer a previous question, because Khamis jr. exploded, the remaining moon will go further away, and then come back, once every sidereal month.
don't think I ever mentioned it but half the reason I started reading this story was your username as I really like the warhammer 40k universe and while it wasn't what I thought it would be based off you username I have immensely enjoyed it.
That's not really a question, but I appreciate it. I also owe you a lot for pointing out my mistakes so much. So, thanks for that!
Are the quadruplets intended to be magically synched AKA Unity, or are they just psychologically synched because of how many experiences they share? Meaning, if they get un-synched, could it be considered a magical injury? Because naturally, magically synched quadruplets is pretty cool imo.
Magically synched, though not quite at the level of Unity. Think of it like a miniature (and hopelessly adorabe) hivemind. The cause was a magical hiccup with Unity when Kira and Ellie were, uh, conceiving them. They'll feature quite prominently in the sequel since I also think it's pretty dang cool.
Are you going to continue with Boxxy or start the next series
Yes, I'm going to focus on Boxxy now. The next series won't be starting for a long while. Probably not until I finish that one, but we'll see.
What!!!!! Now you tell us you're going to end Boxxie's story too?
Well yeah, eventually. Not right now. Calm your tits, jeez.
I'm still waiting for Nano to get a waifu. No waifu no laifu.
…will he ever get one?
I don't see that happening. I really do not.
And the term Binary Soul, is it for Kira×Ellie (a pair) or Nano? That word on the two prev chapters really bugged me off. '__')
It stands for both. A double meaning.
This novel isn't just about the journey of a pair of twin souls, but also about a sentient, unshackled AI looking for a purpose for its existence.
That's right. There were 3 main characters all along! Mwahahaha!
Just kidding. It's Kira and Ellie. That comment in the last chapter was made only to mess with readers like you. :^)
does the ending of Binary Soul = More Boxxy?
Yes.
Also was it intentional that you made a title that can be shortened to BS?
No. But it IS oddly fitting o3o
Does the end of the Voice mean that this world is free of intentional interdimensional immigrants?
Intentional ones, yes.
And will we see one or two accidental immigrants?
Indeed you will. In fact, you already have! Skittles was one, after all.

8 149最も強い -- ( Strongest in existence ~)
First of all this is a story that I´m writing casually in my free time so i think for the first few chapters dont expect regular updates.. This will be a story where the comment squad has a heavy influence on the story because I would find it funny to try and mix some things in that you guys suggest me in the comments :)Anyway now to the synopsis : This is a story about a boy named James Anderson.James died because he was struck by lightning while he was walking down the street on a rainy evening... After he thought everything was over he heard a voice asking him for a wish and for one wish only.. He knew his answer as soon as the question was asked because he fought for his whole life despite being only 19 years old.. He always has had a rough time because his family was poor and they needed to fight for every bit of money they could get.. he got in fights a lot.. so his wish was a simple one that would change everything.. " I wish to have the potentiell to become the strongest being in all existence so that i dont have to fight anymore ! " I dont really know where this story will go but i have a few ideas in mind, as alredy mentioned before, i write this on a whim and hopefully " together " with the readers...I hope you enjoy the story ~~~ PS: Cover found on Google, i own no rights on that one.

Highest ranks, no.8 on EreMika, no.1 on ErenxMikasa, no.56 on attackontitanAOT does not belong to me it is the brain child of Hajime Isayama.Even though the story in technically complete I may insert the occasional after story since I believe it probably deserves a little more. Would be great if you gave it a go and please excuse my "french".
