Well, it's a nice complement to the PB column for people who like that kind of information and might not necessarily know about the thread, I guess.

I added some because there was a column that looked like it could hold information and it was empty and I thought that was sad.
I started on it, but then I got distracted and then lost interest. I'll probably do more on it later, but it might not be for a while.

Re: Effulgence Spreadsheets!

I would like to include characters and worlds from non-Effulgence canons in a spreadsheet. If there is established a collective name for Effulgence, Incandescence, and related RPs, I would change the name of the current spreadsheet and expand it (either by adding in separate Incandescence character and world pages or by adding them into the current ones). However, I would also be happy to keep the Effulgence and Incandescence spreadsheets separate if that would be simpler. The main collision that I can think of is Amariah, who exists separately in both Effulgence and Incandescence, which might cause problems? But I'm sure it could be worked out.

If all RPs on the spreadsheet are Alicorn-centric, then it could just be an Alicornutopia spreadsheet or, if they are all specifically Bell-centric, a Belltower spreadsheet? Are there non-Bell, non-Alicorn RPs that would make sense to include? (I have not read any Pixiethreads yet, I think they were the main one brought up as a possibility?)

It would certainly be convenient for me if pixiethreads characters were included in such a spreadsheet, because I don't have any other good places to put mine >.>

The Isabella Amariah in Chamomile is listed in Alicorn's Bells repository as "Ice". So she's not that ambigious. The Daevinity Cam is listed as "Cam", but I'm sure someone could come up with a different name for him.

I would support and assist in adding Incandescence, pixiethreads, and potentially misc sandbox continuity characters (I'm thinking of Teah) to the existing spreadsheet. I think it would be most convenient to have everything in one place, because there's less duplication of effort that way if e.g. someone wants to rearrange some columns while keeping everything consistent. You'd just need another column somewhere near the start for Incandescence vs Effulgence vs pixiethreads.

You could rename the sheet to "Effulgence and related". Incandescence and pixiethreads are both related to Effulgence in that they share one coauthor each.

All your points make sense to me and are sufficient for me to think this should be done! I will begin work at the next motel stop tonight.

In the probably unlikely event that Incandescence and Effulgence ever fuse, Incandescence Amariah will go by Ice (she is likely to do this anyway) and Effulgence Amariah will switch to Dreamer. Demon Cam would go by Revelation, but like Effulgence Cam he won't do this until it's clear there's more than one boy of him.

Similarly, Chamomile's Adarin will go by the nickname Cypress when another Adarin with his exact name shows up. Because he is going to match his wife. Other Adarins that you know of won't have this problem, as much, and as such I haven't decided on nicknames for them, yet.

Bells, Adrians, and Zevis for everything except Door (which is listed as being part of Incandescence but both lacks a unique Bell-name and I'm otherwise unsure on templates for) are in the spreadsheet, with the various thread-collection-names as world-names (I decided if any of them were incorrect they could just be changed later)

I also put in the Jokers for Pixiethreads, but that needs a world-name. And a continuity for Teah, if Kappa wants him in there.

I also added filter views that sorted by continuities to the ones I put in a while back (mostly for worlds).

I have put Teah in, under a "Sandbox" catchall that should work for any other thread sequence that doesn't have a name like Effulgence or Incandescence or a conveniently exclusive location like pixiethreads.

Edit: Holy shit, how did I not know about filter views? My mind, it is blown. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

If Incandescence Aya encountered Effulgence Aya and they had to divide into non-"Aya" nicknames, they would respectively go by Spring (as in spring water, the thing that her goddess is a goddess of) and Sphere (Effulgence Aya says she'd "take the job title of Queen of the Spheres" if she could) unless I came up with better nicknames before this occasion.
