Silk for Calde!

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I seem to remember Silk being considerably younger than Hugh Laurie when he
was first Cald?.  Someone young, slender, and very fair.  Take your image of
Severian and create a photo-negative out of it.

on that note, maybe we should start a "fantasy casting" thread.
