Quick update on the teaching

It's AMAZING how quickly "oh wow they're so gorgeous!" can turn into "it's a bloody good thing for you guys that you're so gorgeous!" or "I swear, if you lot weren't so gorgeous..."

*sigh*

World building fic Light & Dark

A brief out take - this is canon but future canon, kinda.

Basically, while working through world building I hit some snags. Namely the courts.

Exactly what constitutes Seelie, in this world? What about Unseelie? I know what they are, and the details are there, but they defy me. I have the shape, but no real outlines and the colour's all blurred, and the whole things driving me mad.

I kinda understand... but then I don't. Ilatheril and Sitharensor will be going on fine, and I'm happy to hand out the Seelie and Unseelie labels. Then suddenly Sitharensor turns round and does/says something that amkes me think 'whoa! You're the Seelie one!' Alright, some of this is character quirks (he can't live to party line all the time) but some of the time Ilatheril does the exact opposite and both insist it's in keeping with their courts.

So, I've decided the best way to try and pin it down, for myself if nothing else, is discourses. Basically, I'm going to let them argue a particular element, theory, position or philosophy and see where they stand (and hopefully, therefore, where their courts stand. In theory). So the discourses will be a series of world building fics, happening at some undisclosed point in the storyline which stand besides the general faerie guides for the whole fic.

First is an easy one, which was pretty much a no brainer (though the EXTREMISM on both sides caught me).
