    Seelie/unseelie courts

    Also bear in mind, "Seelie" and "Unseelie" don't necessarily mean "good" and "evil", despite the origins of the name. There are perfectly nice Unseelie and cruel Seelie. The Seelie are more bound by tradition than the Unseelie are, whereas the Wild (those without a Court affiliation) pretty much...

    Seelie/unseelie courts

    Mostly I think the kiths/races are pretty evenly split between the Courts, with a few exceptions. You're not likely to find Leannan Sidhe, Baobhan Sith or Redcaps among the Seelie court, for example. (Though I have written about a Seelie Leannan Sidhe, the rareness of it was noted.)

    The Peaceful Solution

    Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've used both. There are foes who can be reasoned with, and those who can't.

    My instincts tell me your first example is the right one.

    Do werewolves get hangovers?

    I think that yes, a werewolf would get a hangover just like a human would. And I'm pretty sure a hangover is just an after-effect of the poison that is alcohol. As for how they'd deal with it... water. Pretty tried-and-true, IMO.

    What are you Reading Now?

    Rereading the Narnia series again. Finished The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe last week; now it's The Horse and His Boy.

    One of the dorm buildings of my old college burned down yesterday. Nobody was hurt, but the building is a total loss. :(

    Gender-neutral royal titles?

    Mostly it's because one of my close friends is writing a similarly non-patriarchal world, and she uses generic terms like "Monarch" and "Heir", so I kind of want to veer away from that. Especially since we discuss our stories with each other fairly often.

    What Are You Playing Now?

    If tabletop games count... I recently joined a group who are playing Princess: the Hopeful, a fan-made splat of World of Darkness. Basically you play as a Sailor Moon-esque magical girl (or boy, or other; they're not restrictive about gender) in the World of Darkness universe, and you gain your...

    The Ponderous World

    The word "continuum" does.

    Questions about the site.

    Yes, anything poted in the Showcase is invisible to the rest of the internet, and for all intents and purposes remains unpublished. We have those too, or at least we used to. Not sure if any of them are active anymore.

    On May 2, 1998, the Battle of Hogwarts was fought and won. Voldemort was defeated once and for all. Today, nineteen years later, all is well.

    I'd forgotten how good huckleberry jam tastes. <3 Got two little jars of it from a friend in the States, after first trying it three years ago. Definitely gonna make it last as long as possible.
