Doeees anyone know if I have determined anywhere in writing~

[aldersprig]

~what Professor Pelletier's Name is? And, if so, is it somewhere I can easily change it?

Help?

Edit: It's not in the character: Pelletier tag.
Edit: Or on the wiki

Edited again: Her Name-name, her Adult Name, the way Luca's is Hunting Hawk and Regine's is Lady of the Lake

I phrased my question poorly.

Shira's her given name; I'm trying to figure out her Deed Name.

[thnidu]

Ah. Yeah, I've betrayed my incomplete knowledge of the setting: I didn't realize there were such things as Deed Names.

[aldersprig]

Maybe I should write a story about it!!

[thnidu]

Does the wiki have any articles about names? Looks like there's material and need for at least one article, maybe a category of articles – Names – with articles such as Birth name, Deed name (redirected also from Adult name), etc.

[aldersprig]

That's a good point and no, it doesn't. *adds to to-do note*

[natf]

Perhaps because I thought they were just nicknames!

[clare_dragonfly]

It seems to me that I've been mildly puzzled by the lack of Name for her, so I'm guessing that's a no!

[aldersprig]

Okay then! Going with the one I just came up with ;-D

[inventrix]

I did a chat search to make sure there wasn't a mention there and wound up reading the bit where Viddie and Rilla sign their test-Keeping contract

aaahhhh I love these two

[aldersprig]

Aaw, I miss them.

[inventrix]

I am around sometimes!

Excerpt from Outtake: If You Knew…:
"“Well, I’m cy’Pelletier.” She smirked at her father, even though she knew the situation was serious.

“Ah, Shira, the Fur-Taker. Yes.” He nodded, coughed, and seemed to drag himself back onto the topic. "

Considering the Capital letters, I assumed Fur-Taker was her Name.

[aldersprig]

Ah-ha, I KNEW I'd done it somewhere.

Now to change it there or assume there's different interpretations of her Name... *ponders happily*

(Also, I was pretty sure if anyone remembered/knew, it'd be you)

I know my rather obsessive attitude towards this series has bothered you in the past, so I'm happy it's helped for once.

[aldersprig]

"Confused." The word is "confused." /smiles/

And it DID help. Thank you!

[kuro_neko00]

I've been thinking about your confusion ever since you posted it; as much for myself as for you. Why do I care more then others seem to? I've come up with a theory, I don't know if it's correct, but it fits the facts as I know them. I have a really, really, really good imagination. (To be clear, I'm using imagination as in the ability to picture something in the mind, rather then as a synonym for creativity.)

I've always had the vague belief that my imagination was better then most, but in really thinking about this, I've come to the startling conclusion that it's probably much better then most. I frequently say to people that I prefer the literary medium over any of the visual ones for entertainment because nothing in any Hollywood blockbuster could equal what I see behind my eyes when I read a good piece of fiction. But that's actually an understatement. I don't simply see the story playing out in my mind, my imagination is so good I actually live it. I'm right there, either in the protagonist's shoes, or standing right next to them (depending on how well I relate to them). Now, I'm not delusional, I know intellectually that it's just fiction, that it's not real. But because of how I experience it, emotionally it is real to me, the characters are real people and what they go through actually happens. That's why I react as strongly as I do. Would you not react in much the way I do if someone you know very well went through what many of the characters of Addergoole go through?

I might be totally off-base here. I've never actually discussed with anyone what happens when I read good fiction or what they experience. But I can't see that what I experience is that common, otherwise there would be a lot more avid readers in the world and tv wouldn't be the primary entertainment medium. *shrug* That's what I managed to come up with. If you or anyone else wants to chime in with their experiences I'd be interested in hearing them.
