Seeking Culture Clash Fic Recommendations - VincentUrsus - 09-08-2021
I have been reading Playing Catchup by EvilAuthor, as has been mentioned elsewhere in this forum.
I followed this by re-reading the Fenspace story Candle In The Dark, and Lost Kin by JustAGuy.
Does anyone have other recommendations for stories like these that show clashing societies, rather than just a single (or small group of) fish out of water?

Well, somewhere out there is another Fenspace story called "The South is Rising (Someone Get a Hammer)", in which the continental United States of the Fenspace Earth is swapped out with that of Harry Turtledove's 161 timeline.

That is just the kind of thing I had in mind, thanks.
If anyone else is is interested, here are links to the first, and second threads.

I don't know if these links will work for you, VU, but if they do, you'll be able to see where "The South is Rising (Someone Get a Hammer)" left off when it was kind of forgotten about...
South Is Rising v. 3.0 - and this time let's finish the bastard!
South Is Rising Scratchpad -- includes ideas only barely alluded to in the main file, and entire scenes not yet moved there.

I have read access to the v. 3.0 document, but not to the Scratchpad.

Ah. I missed that it was restricted to the original writing group. I just changed it to "anyone with the link" -- I doubt that after ten years anyone else on the writing team would object -- so try it now.

We really should copy those to the FenWiki - as a "belt and suspenders" backup, if nothing else.
RE: Seeking Culture Clash Fic Recommendations - Bob Schroeck - 09-14-2021
Not a bad idea, that. Those and I think there are a couple other docs worth archiving.

Success, thanks.

And here's an earlier version of TSIR with material that's not in the 3.0 files.

Is the Infinity content original to this variant, or are there other stories of the iScout in Fenspace?
I enjoy the Infinity setting, John M. Ford was taken from us too soon.
RE: Seeking Culture Clash Fic Recommendations - Bob Schroeck - 09-22-2021
I believe it's common to all varieties of Fenspace. The Fenwiki has a page with an Infinite Worlds-style writeup for Fenspace (as Gernsback-2) which is unaffiliated with any of the alternate timelines.
RE: Seeking Culture Clash Fic Recommendations - Bob Schroeck - 09-22-2021
Oh, and the references to previous visitors? That's another story which is canon to the main Fenspace timeline, an incomplete one by Rob Kelk called Legend of Galactic Girls. Which might appeal to you as well.

And which I really should finish off, one of these years.
