Re: DNW Workshop

Now I'm imagining someone uploading a photo of their clay tablet with the little reed strokes, and arguing with the mods about how to calculate the word count in the syllabary.

Is it bad that I want this for the Ea-Nasir contingent?

Re: DNW Workshop

I am planning to treat the Ea-Nasir prompt... but I don't want to give someone unrequested cuneiform.

Yes, I mean, sure, I don't really want anyone to give unrequested cuneiform, but I do love the idea of someone requesting and being gifted fic in cuneiform.

Now this I can get behind!

(I've been chuckling over the phrase "unrequested cuneiform" for the past few minutes, so all around, well done everyone. :D)

But what if it’s canon-typical cuneiform? I think we have to assume it’s opt-out at that point!

Re: DNW Workshop

The rules say it has to be in English but they don't say it has to be the Latin alphabet!

Re: DNW Workshop

Who wants to be responsible for the "in English using Latin characters" rule change in 2022? Show of hands?

"Are Clay tablets opt in or opt out?" is not something I ever thought I would say but here we are. Consider my day brightened

Re: DNW Workshop

C CYRT RYT Excellent point coalie. Is fic in cuneiform for a cuneiform fandom opt out? (I kid I kid, because TPTB know that if I received fic in the original language for some of my fandoms I would be SOL)

Re: DNW Workshop

IIRC we've had Beowulf(? or something similar?) fic in the original at least once, and I think it squeaked in as being in English on a technicality.

(jk they did also provide a translation)

Re: DNW Workshop

[(Anonymous)]

I think there was Tay Bridge fic in Latin last year or the year before. But I'm pretty sure the recipient has opted into that.

Re: DNW Workshop

There's a tutorial that goes around Tumblr every year this season about how to do cuneiform tablet gingerbread, I wouldn't be surprised if someone does it for Yuletide eventually for either that or Gilgamesh.
