hi, i hope you're doing well! a long while ago you wrote a fic about leia and cassian and their common language (space spanish). it was hugely influential on my perception of leia and cultures in star wars (not to mention very cool for me as a latina) and i was wondering if i can credit you on fics where alderaan speaks spanish? or at least link to the fic (in tongues and quiet sighs)?
I replied:
Well, thank you! I very much appreciate hearing it.
I’ll say that I didn’t come up with the idea of space Spanish at all—I saw it a lot and was kind of ????? about the general approach, and in tongues and quiet sighs was my attempt to make sense of it in terms of character and world-building. So there’s no need to credit me for the general idea of Alderaanians speaking space Spanish—I didn’t come up with that.
But if your version is influenced by specific details in my fic (e.g., space Spanish originated in Alderaan and spread under previous Alderaanian imperialism), then you’re definitely welcome to credit it to the fic, and I appreciate you doing so.
