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.

So the people of New York wouldn't get notified that there was not genuine dangerous magical combat going on overhead.

...

We could script parts of it.

Let's face it, they would immediately jump to the conclusion that I'm a Superhero. We could agree that at the twenty minute mark you would interpose yourself between me and some people and I'll be all: "Ah, of course... You've been holding back so as not to endanger the mundanes. I bet you cannot protect them and yourself at the same time." at which point you could roar and turn the tide of the battle!

That way people would spend the whole time for the apparantly winning side while we still had a dramatic reversal in the middle.

Of course we would have to make an anti-car-crash ward beforehand, if we're going to be distracting drivers.
