Entmoot of T.A. 3019

Ents only say something if it is worth saying at length. Will Fitzgerald used this as the guiding principle for writing a generator for Entmoot of T.A. 3019.

As I’ve said before, one of the things that I find personally attractive in the NaNoGenMo projects is when the structure of the generator comes together with the content of the generated text. Like in this example, where both the big picture and the little details reinforce each other in a continual poetic dance.

The big picture is the translation conceit and the inspiration of translating from the Entish as a diegetic explanation of the foibles of the generator. The little details are in the attention to the specifics of the generated conlang of the Ents.
