Re: Glowfic Idiom

The thing with spacing to indicate pauses? I'm pretty sure that it's also done in traditional literature but not to the same extent. Also the thing where posts are left entirely blank and the icon is used to convey a reaction to something.

Re: Elfthreads!

Presumably he's measuring in Years, I don't think he's noticed that humans measure time differently yet. Relatedly, I've always wondered how years and Years are distinguished in speech - presumably if they were speaking Quenya there could be different words for them and that would just be ...

Re: What would you do with the Silmaril peal's resources?

well, even they don't have relationship stress as like, a continuous feature of their relationship with their Fingons? Midnight rather, um, mind-controlled his way out of that one, and I've only skimmed the latest thread so far but it's definitely debatable how well Timothy is handling this current ...

Re: What would you do with the Silmaril peal's resources?

I think they really need somebody thinking about what to do differently when they find the next Shadow-type Arda, because given the number of Ardas they have to have anticipated that there will be more, and they really can't afford to handle the next instance of Midnight as badly as they handled the ...

Re: 3x7 (working title, desperately needs a name)

Once you end up in a new universe, can you get back to your original one by dreaming of the gate again? What kinds of people get the dreams and how common are they? Are they completely at random, or are there things you can do to make yourself more likely to have one? In terms of powers you haven't ...

I've just realised, I don't think we ever found out Lari's fathername - did you guys ever make one up for her?

Re: Voiced versions of glowfic and/or Luminosity

I'd probably be up for trying to voice some Australian children if it ever came up! Mostly I was assuming that anyone from a version of modern day Earth should probably have something close to the accent that they would actually have, but anyone from a non-Earth location was pretty much fair game as ...

Re: Voiced versions of glowfic and/or Luminosity

Inter-continuity voice consistency would be lovely but is probably infeasible, especially given how much content there is involving, say, any given Bell. It seems like it would probably be too much work for one person, and that would be worse if we were trying to give all Forks-born female Bells the ...
