Talk To Glowfic Characters

So we've started answering comments in "How To Read Effulgence" in character, and that's not really the ideal platform for those conversations. This is! You may address characters here and we may opt to answer in character. You will get a kind of loosely "backstage" out-of-continuity version of the character (in continuity proper, you cannot talk to them, since you aren't there) and if you want them at a specific (past relative to where we're writing) point in time, feel free to specify (e.g. "Addy in 1932", "Shell in her box", "the Joker while committed", "Minus right after he woke up from turning", "the alethiometer on the subject of 1207").

Any glowfic author may use this thread to receive questions.

Mial, could we please have a word/loanword from Reform Draconic for a person who is not a siahr?

Is 'non-siahr' not doing it for you as a construct or are you just curious or what?

"Non-siahr" sounds vaguely clunky to me for some reason. ("Dragonish" sounded similarly clunky to me, in addition to the obvious asymmetry where it could-have-been-but-wasn't called "shrennish".)

I could've called us "shrennish" if I'd wanted to make all the dragon members of my family physically ill rather than merely confusing them, yes.
