One thing I want to include in each issue of SUPERATOMIC is traditional print ephemera like a Letters to the Editor column. I got a few questions from you last time and I need more for the next issue! Here is the column from The Game. Do you guys have any follow-ups about issue 1? Any new thoughts?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
 Which came first, the characters or the
 NSFW scenarios?
 OB: Oh, definitely the porn. But when you
 think about a character too long they start
 to become people and people need
 motivations and childhoods and arcs, so the
 stories are a consequence.
 We know Janine and Alexander met in
 university. Were they studying to
 become villains?
 OB: Northeastern Super Science Academy
 in Boston is a grad school for people
 pursuing degrees in super science
 (naturally). While the school does not single
 out or recognize the moral leanings of its
 students or faculty, there is an unspoken
 acknowledgement that some of its
 graduates will pursue a villainous career.
 There are supplementary classes offered
 that cater toward more evil applications,
 but they don't advertise those in the
 pamphlets. If someone is known to be
 taking these classes, it's referred to by the
 student body as "double majoring."
 Alexander was one of these students, but
 Janine primarily took mainstream courses,
 mostly to keep her job prospects open.
 Rich, white, British guy makes sense
 for villainy, but how did Janine fall
 into it?
 OB: It's true that Alexander fits the mad
 scientist archetype more recognizably, but
 his and Janine's motivations for joining the
 industry are basically the same- mainstream
 academia has too many rules and moves too
 slowly. The funding for scientific discovery
 anything done, anyway. Janine is driven by
 the singular need to understand and exert
 her control over the universe, for reasons
 she can't even admit to herself. The only
 option was to become one of the fastest
 rising stars in super science. Alexander, on
 the other hand, sees his lab as a playground.
 What was your character development
 process?
 OB: Truthfully, I started by coming up with
 some people with jobs I thought were sexy
 (hypercompetent mysterious mad scientist
 super villain minions) and then I put those
 bitches in situations. The guy wears gloves
 all the time because I thought it looked hot,
 but why does he wear them? well, he's
 kinda neurotic and he's a medical guy so
 he's paranoid about germs. Why's he so
 neurotic? Probably something in his
 childhood, like the rest of us. Where'd he
 grow up? An opulent English manor with
 horses and foxhounds is kinda sexy (back to
 thinking about what's hot). Why did he have
 such a hard time? A rigid adherence to
 tradition and toxic masculine ideals
 enforced by his father would fit right in
 there. And so on.
 Do Janine and Alexander live on the
 base full time?
 OB: They have a pretty nice apartment in
 Long Beach but only really spend the
 weekends there. When you work on a
 secret island off the coast, it starts to feel
 pointless taking an uber through traffic to
 the docks and then taking the ferry to the
 island, and then doing it all again in the
 evening. You end up only having an hour or
 two at home before you have to go to bed.
 It just makes sense to take advantage of
 the barracks at the base, especially since
 Janine likes to work late. Is it a source of
 tension that they're still paying full rent for
 an LA apartment they only spend a few
 days in each month? Oh, yeah.
 You're saying villainy is a Monday-
 Friday, 9-5 job?
 OB: In general, yes.

BELOW THE BLUE CIRCUITS — an adult cosmic horror novel that is a tad hard sci-fi with a hint of historical fiction — is now live on Backerkit! Dennis, a man hired to help in the development of a supercomputer in the 70s, is faced with more than he bargained for when the supercomputer talks back. 🌑💾

Below The Blue Circuits

A 1970s computer scientist questions reality when the machine he’s helped develop tries to redefine the word “agape.”
