And of course, there's always a new idea.
This one began with a conversation in the car. My dad and I were going to buy food for the chickens we keep at our house, and we got to talking about the stories we liked. One thing led to another, and before long we were talking about how uncreative most authors were. After all, almost every fantasy world is the same. Earth-like.
Well, think about it. Can you name me five different fantasy stories that DON'T have one sun that rises in the east and sets in the west, a planet the size of earth, and physics that are exactly like or very close to the physics of this earth?
Well, consider a planet with two suns, one at each pole, with a ring of ice around what would be the equator. A planet where some beings have an organ that can cancel out the earth's gravitic field, making them almost weightless and allowing them to perform insane aerobatics. A planet where living creatures breath nitrogen or carbon dioxide instead of oxygen.
Oughta be interesting, right?
I give you project 'Starsun'.
