Line 14:
* "Ser" is also used (in the same way, gender-neutral form of "sir") in the ''[[Uplift]]'' series by [[David Brin]].
* "Ser" is directly equivalent to "Sir" in [[A Song of Ice and Fire]], being most frequently applied to knights.
* A short story by Stephen R. Donaldson was "Ser Visal's Tale," in which the title character told some college students the facts behind a mysterious occurrence at a recent [[Burn the Witch|witchcraft trial]]. {{Spoiler|Including that he knew these facts because he'd '''helped''' the accused and her rescuer escape.}}
* [[C. J. Cherryh]]'s ''[[Alliance Union|Merovingen Nights]]'' [[Shared World]] series has the polite addresses "m'ser" for males and "m'sera" for females. It helps establish Anastasi Kalugin as [[Faux Affably Evil]] when he, [[Blue Blood|younger son of the city's ruler]], repeatedly addresses [[Wrong Side of the Tracks|lower-class]] heroine Altair Jones as "m'sera."
