A Collective Noun for Storytellers
At around midnight, while thinking about the delightful Unchained Tour, I found myself pondering the proper term for a group of storytellers. I decided to poll the Twitter, and Neil Gaiman, who’s been a part of the tour, was nice enough to RT, guaranteeing a solid and varied response. Here’s a healthy portion of what the Twitter suggested:
An eloquence. A gaggle. A book. A murder. An imagination. A novel. A troupe. A yearning. A babble. A narrative. An anthology. A folio. A convention. An angst. A quill. An exposition. A flight. An inkwell. A dream. A fireside. A chapter. A quest. A treasure. A cadre. A coven. A circle. A cabal. A confusion. A whimsy. A conflagration. A vulnerability. An honesty. A library. A catalog. A trope. An illusion. A parable. A cult. A skein. A parliament. A susurration. A league. A volume. A yarn.
A tour.
How appropriate, to stop there.
