More information: We come (& WELCOME!) to the Science Fictionary already inspired by centuries of writing; here is our chance to make history with a science fiction story in the round. Yes, we will create literature of the future about the future using the present future we inhabit here.
-Take your spot, your turn will come and you will have a paragraph to add to our weekly literary voyage. All very welcome, established writers and simply curious critics alike! The weekly meeting of Science Fictionary is held on Thursdays at Midday SLT (8pm GMT) hosted by Pooky Amsterdam at Nature's Rooftop Cafe. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Elucian%20Islands/112/91/44 For more info, IM Joanna Wombat or Pooky Amsterdam See you there! ------------------------------------ So why do stories always start? Did you ever notice that stories, no matter what they are about have to start? Even after we had developed memory implants so people could drive backwards from any point to anywhere they wanted to, stories still had to start. I think that has to do with power. Politics, back in the day everything was politics. We called it civilization. But what the hell, I am just the cat, they brought two of them together but only one cat. There are cats here. But cats on this new planet are massive things, they have massive teeth and are several times the size of a human. They just like to fornicate and kill things. One time one of these cats got a smell of me and I had to burn the thing before it could get a hold of me. Since then I have made my skin in to a protective fire encasing. Ah but they had forgotten just how much stuff was back in the old world, stuff hidden in the folds of 11th dimensional space, things coded in to nano-ps, things that could be in a cat. I know these naked monsters dancing about this new world full of big cats and furry elephants and humans who put mud on their faces and hair, and I “elect” to not tell the story they want. I elect to be a villain. I elect to help them fail in ruining another world. And this will be my story.
