@cstross an outsider’s metaquestion: which ecstasy? Is the prompt seeking narrative for a character feeling the drug’s effect? E.g., asking writers to describe the effect, and then suggesting sensual feelings, artistic moods, or spiritual layers à la peyote or acid or etc.

Or is this 3 (either-or-else) options for how to work when a character becomes ecstatic (joyful, no drugs)?

And it’s early here and I’m precaffeinated — what cue am I missing for which was intended?
