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.

It's fun! When my friends I play, we use the phonetics of a common language that we speak -- usually one like Serbian which has very easy rules (each letter has only one sound). And then you use just whatever letter is closest to the sound you're trying to make. Wormwood would probably be written as "vrmvud". Village would be vilidž. We play with the rule that you can use any word in any language that you know, but you have to define it for the other players if they ask and name the language.

[Tilly] Scrabble adapted for the Speech would probably have a limited audience, but it would be a really, really appreciative limited audience.

I'd play, let's figure something out when next there appears downtime.
