I've got a choose your own adventure in the works for a Guristas recruiter type character in the fiction series I've been posting...

This one will be pretty long and have a lot of different parts (my idea to make it work would be multiple postings of new topics in the fiction forum section with links to each choice from the main storyline; if that makes sense?)

I'd thought I'd ask now (I haven't even started it, just have a good idea for it) just in case I'm spamming too much or taking up too much space on the forum.

If it works the way I imagine it would, it might turn out to be a pretty good story... (I'm thinking of having two characters in the story (a father and son; like father, like son) be enlisted by the same recruiter at different times periods. So basically, a story in EVE universe that takes place in the future. (maybe like a 'what if')

Thanx,

I'm curious as to how would a 'Sci-Fy' story fly in a science fiction universe?

Takers?/Commenters?

Sounds fun, I'd say do it, that's the only way to find our if people will like it or not.

LOL Well part of whether people like it or not is whether they understand what is actually going on...

Do you think it would make sense to people?
I'll give you an example... star wars is sci-fi in our own reality (1970-2015) but what if you had a star wars like them/story in a star wars reality?

I guess what I'm asking is... what would one considered sci-fi in an already sci-fi setting?
All the ideas are there, its just the setting that is a little, hmm, I guess static...
Any suggestions would be helpful since I'm a little stalled on how I should begin on this one...

Science fiction is an existential metaphor that allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Isaac Asimov once said, "Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinded critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."

You can totally write stories set in the EVE Future, there's no fun police who's going to stop you.

Hey, thanks for the quote... so true, science fiction keeps our species looking ahead...

My concern is... Hmm, how should I put this...

Say you were looking directly at the Sun, a person is in orbit directly in your line of sight flashing a super powered flashlight towards you...

Would you see the light from the flashlight or would you just think it is the same light from the Sun?

LOL that's my dilemma right now. How do I set the two apart for the reader? (without actually beating the reader over the head with the flashlight)
