I knew that this feature was answering questions entirely submitted from real readers (with one or two loopholes), but I wasn’t sure at first that Frigg was really getting as much horny-on-main mail as the last couple of strips have said. Phil verified, however, that if anything, “propositioned” was an understatement.
Byron and Syr’Nj have very few sexual hangups when it’s just the two of them. They’re just not very comfortable fielding questions from others about their sex life or related topics, and they probably never will be. Even Frigg usually leaves the topic alone.
My headcanon is that it’s not impossible, but it is more difficult than it is between humans and other, less plantlike elfin races. After the series’ conclusion, Fr’Nj and Scipio will prove that. Byron and Syr’Nj will not conceive naturally but will one day adopt the children of fallen adventurers, after Byron’s duties recede but before Syr’Nj becomes high elder. All this is improv, though, and not to be considered official canon.
Is it still fanfic when it’s (one of) the series’s creators?
I believe so yes.
It can be. There have been examples of creators writing non-canon fanfics of their own characters
Two words: Michael Kirkbride.
I’m mainly thrown by the implication of a much larger time-gap between H. R.’s death, and “Help me greet a new day we get to chart tomorrow,” than I thought was there.
I’m not sure how you get this from that. I was spouting off about what I thought would happen after the series was over, not in between those two events (which indeed was not that long). Byron is far too busy in Chapter 50 to be adding fatherhood to his plate by choice.
Because in the second scene I mentioned, Penk calls Syr’Nj Elder’s Eldest. ( http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-50-page-12/ ).
Where does e-Merl come from, then? I thought one of his parents was human.
I said “more difficult than it is between humans and other, less plantlike elfin races.” Don’t think we nailed down which of E-Merl’s parents was human, but the other seems likely to have been a townie elf. He definitely isn’t half-wood elf, or that would’ve come up the first time he went to B’ial Vezk.
(And also, I said “possible,” not “impossible,” in any case.)
The implication is that each of the Elfin races are biologically different, correct?
We don’t have any firm evidence whether there are any biological differences between winter elves, sky elves, or urban/shit elves. There could be, but the social isolation of those cultures makes it difficult to test. If so, they’re not obvious.
But wood elves are definitely distinct. We’ve documented that they can do some photosynthesis and absorb water through their toes, for starters.
Completely forgot about that. Sorry!
