I didn't know there was a term to describe my particular situation! That's awesome, thanks a lot, dedalvs.

I've always been a huge fan of linguistics and conlangs in particular, so I have a few questions:

  • To what extent have you developed Dothraki and Valyrian, in terms of grammar, vocabulary, figures of speech, etc.?

  • How would you summarize Dothraki and Valyrian, in terms of its phonetic and sociological characteristics?

  • Have you created a script for Dothraki, just for fun, even though officially, they don't have one?

  • How much, or how little, collaboration did you have with George R. R. Martin?

  • What are your favorite languages, conlang or otherwise?

  • How do you feel about the current use of conlangs in pop culture? What do you see as the future of conlangs as an artform?

  • After working a major project like Game of Thrones, how do you feel about collaborations between fields of study (linguistics, anthropology, physics, etc.) and art? Is it necessary, 'good to have', or mere embellishment?

I apologize for playing fast and loose with 'a few'. Don't feel pressured to answer all of them.

How do you handle security? That sounds like a nightmare.
