I am here for it, but saving it for a day when I’m not too worn out from painting to remember who the hell everyone is.
I don’t know how much longer it’s gonna take me to post it, so. It’s grown way beyond my expectations and now there’s a semi-plot. All I really wanted was to write cute first-time wedding night smut but that keeps getting pushed off… Maybe someday. You’ll probably have finished painting your house by then.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I love it. The multiplicity of names was a lot, but still slightly easier than Sherwood Smith’s Inda series, which has an even larger cast of people with given names, last names, titular names, and nicknames… some of whom are namesakes. ��
ohhh boy.
Yeah I just. Finally I started writing down everyone I thought was important so I could refer back. I think a large part of it was that there were so many featuring phonemes that are rare or unused in English, and so I’d be like ah that’s Cso-and-so and then there were like eight Cso-and-sos so that didn’t work.
I have to keep the bookmark of reference names close to hand while writing because even fifty pages in I’m still forgetting whether it’s Telimezh or Telimazh, and Csethero is Csethiro? I’m not sure.
C’est la conlang, really. I’ll keep this in mind when worldbuilding, myself– I <i>have</i> been keeping this in mind, actually, and have been conscientious about giving characters pronounceable and distinct names, and it’s sort of freeing to consider that, well, not everyone does that and you can still kind of make a choice about it.
