I had totally missed that Minus Gender could be considered a thing.

I know you are talking about Minus the Sherlockpire but I can't help but see it as something like the opposite of having a gender xD

...and what is Minus Gender again?

Sherlocks have a particular relationship with gender, and Minuses as a subset of Sherlocks have an even more particular one. It's not as immutable or distinctly flavoured as Joker gender, but it's definitely its own thing.

Is there a reason most people aren’t using the Talk To Effulgence Characters thread? I asked several questions there a few months ago, but I seemed to be the only one there (other than Alicorn and Kappa, although my most recent set of questions to purple characters never got answers), so I stopped. Since then only one other question has been asked.

I thought of this a few days ago because I wanted to ask something of one of the characters in Milo’s Chronicle section, but I think I forgot what it was by now.

I love the Talk To Effulgence Characters thread and wish people used it all the time.

In that case, I’m about to post a question there which is probably for a Bell.

Random thought.

Do Jokers have a higher than usual pool of potential mates? Like, if they were made into a Aurum vamp or touched the Treasury necklace, independent of any existing template that they had been romantically involved with in Glowfic, would it take them long to find a mate?

I ask because "falling in love with strangers on the street" is a thing they do.

Random question, I know. I think too much when trying to sleep.

I'm not sure. I mean, yes, they fall in love a lot, but there's also the question of whether the person they fall in love with would like them back.

Having finished EFC, I am now reading the parts of Effulgence set in Chronicle. In so doing, I noticed something which is probably accidental, but fits quite well anyway:
I like the Enchanted Forest, I don’t want to go marry the princess of Linderwall or wherever; I imagine they’d oblige me to live there.
I don’t know if Glass knows about the not-a-princess of Linderwall, especially because if I have my chronology right he exists but is nowhere near marriageable age at the moment. However, I like to think that she has heard of the princess of Linderwall, and not heard that he is really a prince.

EDIT: The quote was from Glass, here
