That sounds interesting. Have you seen the stuff that Falcomreynolds has put up on Archive of Our Own which is set in the American Midwest and is a fine tale about a mobile city making its way across the land in search of a working radio station? The tale is told from the point of view of a young mage whose skill is animal bonding.

Fic ideas:
1. After 90 years of neglect, the ISS hits the atmosphere and breaks apart. Part of it crash-lands near Reynir's hometown.
2. Onni encounters someone in the Finnish forest who demands to know if "the bombs have fallen yet."

How old would that person be? Or would they be descendant of whoever first expected bombs to fall?

I can’t make links, but the American story is called ‘KMOX: The Voice of St. Louis and What’s Left of the Rest of America’ and has been recently enough updated that it is still on the front page of Archive only a couple of items down.
Joe Steele, you might like one by SectoBoss, also on Archive, which is an interview with the last astronauts of the ISS. That one is called ‘On a Wing and a Prayer’.

Don't mean to breach the quiet, but I have a quick question for a fic I'm thinking of doing. What superpowers do you think any of the characters would have? (How strong, from 1-10?)

Like, would Emil have pyromancy, or Reynir something rune related? What strength do they have?

I'm just wanting to know what y'all think, lol
Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! <3

Mikkel can walk on water.
No, really! 
People get weird, so he doesn't do it in public much.  But there was this one time, when he took a new job on a boat, and almost immediately got into a stoush with an officious first mate.  The sneering loon told him he had to put up with it, as they wouldn't make landfall again for weeks.  So Mikkel got his things and stomped off the boat, seen only by his twin, Michael (who did not possess this ability).  The mate didn't believe poor Michael. He ended up having to do Mikkel's duties as well as his own, until he managed to convince the ship's captain that Mikkel had thrown himself overboard in chagrin at the mate's abuse.  The mate was subject to official censure, and avoided Michael whenever possible for the rest of the voyage.  Win-win, as they say.

Molly, you are welcome to breaking the silence! It’s not much of a forum if all threads are dormant :)

On your question, could you give a bit more context? Superpowers as in a superhero setting? Like Marvel or something? Or within the SSSS concept but with greatly leveled up characters? Something else?

Agree with Wave, notwithstanding the setting Mikkel probably has something!

Sorry, I totally forgot to give context lol. More like modern au, where everyone has powers focusing on the personality types of themselves and their families.

Spoiler: show
Kind of like the webtoon Unordinary if you've ever read it. If you haven't, I recommend it. Here's an example:

Emil should definitly have pyromancy :'D But like, really chaotic pyromancy.


And something completely different: that Manegarm (how do you do the circle above the "a" with a keyboard?) practically yells for a story to be told, I think. Something about how it was first encountered and that eclipse-rule in Sweden was established. I might write it should I be struck with inspiration and/or the ability to write in the near future. What do you think?
supposedly studying, most likely drawing…

Wait

 O_O
What?
You're kidding, one of mine, recommended on TV Tropes?   O_O O_O
But, from memory, the superpowers in that one were merely extensions of abilities in non-immune mages, and therefore only Reynir and Onni (and a handful of SSSSonae and OCs) had them, not the crew as a whole.  I thought of it more as a took-a-different-fork-in-the-road story.
