| Aug 15, 2015 at 9:34 | comment | added | Babika Babaka | @DanBryant There's this problem, plus the conjugated verb itself really sounds weird. For example, the third person plural past tense of "avoir" (to have) is "nous eûmes". | |

| Aug 14, 2015 at 14:11 | comment | added | Dan Bryant | Not sure if it sounds the same way in French, but in English, using "we" in the context of a singular entity can come across as the old-school Royal We, which does have a somewhat obnoxious tone to it. I suspect that a hive mind with a sense of self-identity would refer to itself as 'I', since it believes itself to be a singular entity. After all, I don't go around saying "we are here writing a response" on behalf of the many individual cells and symbiotic microorganisms making up my body. | |

| Aug 14, 2015 at 12:48 | comment | added | user5645 | Sheri S. Tepper does something like this in her "Arbai trilogy" (Grass, Raising the Stones and Sideshow). In the last book of the trilogy, Sideshow, a (sentient?) fungus has infested people all over the galaxy, making them happy. | |

| Aug 13, 2015 at 13:58 | comment | added | Babika Babaka | @MichaelKjörling I've already asked a question on WorldBuilding about a specific aspect of this universe. Here I'm more interested on how to write about it. I'll add more info to clarify my question. | |
| Aug 13, 2015 at 13:44 | comment | added | user | Like Lauren Ipsum suggested, this might be good to ask about on Worldbuilding SE too. On Worldbuilding you could explore various aspects of the world you are creating; here on Writers, you can hash out how to present it all to your readers and to your publisher. | |
