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: Time Travel?

[autokinetic]

No need to haul in Stella's physicist, I took physics and I'm way ahead of Eos and from the relevant world. We don't get time travel. Folks were expecting it, in early days - something about how GPSes worked made them wait with bated breath for it when they got the boats to go fast enough - but nothing doing. Theory bows to empiricism, haven't you heard? Ansible communication is instantaneous, ships go fast, people on them experience less time but it all goes in an orderly fashion. Philotic physics is in its infancy but it's something to do with those, is the current thought.
