Effulgence Fandom Ideas

[Alicorn]

I found the writing draggy.

I found the writing draggy.

Not sure what you mean? But I do find it... not sure how to describe, it doesn't quite "captures" you? The writting style. The plot is good.

That wildcard+samaria idea is still all over the place and sort of gave birth to another idea who still is all over the place. Also, as I progress in effulgence I feel less and less confident in making suggestions for fandoms.

I do have a couple of ideas that aren't really fandom ideas: I am not sure how you deal with Elspeth alts, but a somehow interesting variation would be a Bell-Edward couple married by political reasons, they aren't in love but are amicable and in some sort of political cahoots.

[Alicorn]

An Edward/Bell purely political marriage would be highly unlikely. Edwards as a template only bother to exist when there are Bells around; they are loosely to Bells as Zeuses are to Jokers.

So does that mean that Harley counts as an Aurum native now? How does world nativity when talking about connected templates work anyway?

[Kappa]

Harley counts as an Aurum native now for some purposes but not others. He qualified under "metacausally likely enough to stick around that appropriately Joker-connected templates might pop up in connection with him" when Zeus showed up, although at the time I don't think Zeus was even a template yet. XD

I haven't seen a second Edward/Bell so far, sorry.

Question: How do templates work around cloning? Orpha Black is not clear enough for a proper adaptation but I am curious if you could have several near-identical clones that represent different templates

[Kappa]

Different templates operate differently around cloning. If you clone a Tony, you get a Sherlock pretty much invariably. It's not clear what you get if you clone a Sherlock.

[Alicorn]

If you clone a Bell you get a Bell. No data on other greens.

What are the opinions of Alicorn and Kappa about the Asimov's Foundation Series and the Robots series.

What if the Joker was a robot, how would he cope with the three laws constraining him? what if Bella was a roboticist?

Or what if Bella was Harry Sheldon?

[Alphabeta]

I'm pretty sure a three laws compliant Joker would be murderous, disobedient, and suicidal, in that order. It's not like they worked that well in canon.
