"What are humans going to be asking about -"

"State of the art on all kinds of research, some of them will be futilely hoping to establish normalish political relations, why don't the Elves like us and want to be friends, do you need help escaping the Valar, why did they do that thing to that fairy, you have to watch my favorite anime, etc. etc."

"This should be fun."

Permalink

"Sure. Which city gets the anime recommendations, please."

Permalink

"When I lived there there were only three. Us, the people we murdered, and the Vanyar."

"...I'll encourage writers who are looking for specific things in pen pals to go through me and the correspondence demon to come up with new mail labels instead of directly writing 'an open letter to Alqualondë', and everybody else can guess a city, I suppose."

"Valimar was the most conservative, back then. Media featuring inappropriate behavior will probably get censored."

Permalink

"In Valimar or everywhere?"

Permalink

"Everywhere, back then. Nelyo might've been pretty indifferent about enforcement but he wouldn't not ban them and he was wildly progressive. But it's been a long time."

Permalink

"And I assume inappropriate behavior means anything with a plot."

Permalink

" - anything in which the protagonists behave in a way that would not be wisely adopted as a universal maxim?"

Permalink

"...so Mary Sues versus villains are okay? No protagonists with flaws they then learn to stop having or is that okay?"

Permalink

"Are we talking, like, 'prideful' or 'auto thief' or 'homosexual' -"

Permalink

"I was thinking more like the first one."

Permalink

"That would probably be all right."

Permalink

"Is Zota going to be in trouble if she makes stuff they then decide they have to censor?"

Permalink

"No idea. Probably not. They're legitimately not that punitive."

Permalink

"Okay."

He writes to Zota.

 

A couple hours later Zota goes looking for her guide.

Permalink

The guide is not at the house.

Permalink

Oh. Do the nearest passerby know where she is?

Permalink

They osanwë her and she shows up promptly. "Everything all right?"

Permalink

"Oh, yes, I'm fine. I've been writing to Revelation. He has some questions."

Permalink

"Do you want to just read the conversation? We had it in Quenya."

Permalink

"Sure, if that'd be all right with him."
