Is it too early for a 'next gen' story? - robkelk - 03-08-2007 As has become typical in early March in the last few years (those who know me well will know why), I'm in a bit of a funk, and not much use for writing anything remotely upbeat. (Edit: Which means my collabaration with Griever is still just sitting there - sorry, Griever.) But I've got an idea for a maudlin Fenspace story. Thing is, it's set much later than any story yet told. Not by a year or two, either - it's about two centuries down the timeline... I'll probably write it anyway just to get it out of my system. (Heck, I've already got the first line down: "If I'm lucky, this will be my last transmission."). But "writing" isn't "posting". Would I be stepping on anyone's toes if I posted it once it's done? -Rob Kelk -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.

It's not like we have a continuity that needs to be followed that far out anyway. And hell, if we *do* end up with one and the story contradicts that, we can blame it on Superboy punching time. --- Mr. Fnord http://fnord.sandwich.net/ http://www.jihad.net/ Mr. Fnord interdimensional man of mystery FenWiki - Your One-Stop Shop for Fenspace Information "I.

I'll be making up a few things that we can ignore or use at our whim; once the story's up, please let me know how badly I goofed while doing that... -Rob Kelk -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.

I wonder if the Grover's Corners will still be around in two centuries, and what it might have evolved into... (This isn't a suggestion, Rob, this is me speculating in such a way as to self-motivate.) -- Bob --------- Visit beautiful Boston, proud successor to Seattle as "City Most Scared Of Its Own Shadow Re: Is it too early for a 'next gen' story? - robkelk - 03-08-2007 Grovers Corners, or any other established location, probably won't to show up in the story - I get the feeling most folks would rather avoid maudlin angst anywhere near their corners of this shared-world. But I'm not 100% sure of that yet; outlines change depending on where the Muse leads me, after all... -Rob Kelk -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.
