Talk To Glowfic Characters

[alicornucopia]

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.

There will be light

Taliar, as of a few hours before he asks for his second bad day (at this point he's hoping to go at least a month before asking):

I bet you can't go two months without asking for another bad day.

I bet I can't either.

So how do you avoid your try-me voice interfering with itself like I tried to set up? I didn’t try very hard, but I expect that even if I had you wouldn’t have felt very compelled to accept the challenge of not asking for a challenge; why not?

Noticing that someone is trying to mess with me has effects on what feels challenging and in what ways.

You were already thinking that you wanted to wait at least a month, and trying to do that, but expected you could not. Why did those thoughts not themselves trigger the try-me attitude?

Re: There will be light

Because I don't live in a logic puzzle? If I constantly felt challenged to stop myself from doing things I felt challenged to do, I would exist in a state of eternal frustration and never do anything.

I guess that makes sense, it was just weird looking at you thinking about how you wanted to do something but thought you couldn’t. Thanks for clearing it up.
