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.

Re: the comment, yeah, I anticipated something like that, which is why I added "or some other trivially inconvenient state of mind".

Interestingly enough, I'd have to double-check with Lazarus but from my current understanding of the theory involved it is possible to have a unique shren, the same way you get a shren parunia.

Given I'd be, one, a baby, and two, partly through a 20-year course of esu... I'd say it depends. If it was after I invented the word e'sisaak but before things got really bad, I bet I'd be stubborn. If it was while things were in the middle of getting really bad, it would depend what mood they caught me in. If it was after things had definitely gotten really bad, I'd probably stick it out just because I was constantly living in the victory-at-any-cost state of mind at that point.

But if I did decide to give up shrenhood as a baby, it would probably take me only a few more decades to figure out that I regretted it. Whether or not I'd regret it enough to change back... I really couldn't say.
