[Meta/Silly] Failed Fen - Mark Skarr - 08-02-2011
Groups who seem like they'd be a fit for Fenspace, but ran into trouble along the way . . .. Like the “Leatherman ‘Wave,” this is just me being silly and giving in to my base impulse when I have a strange idea.
Failed Fen:
The Masters of the Universe: Those grotesque body-mods increased bulk too much to be able to fit through airlock doors. And that guy who did Orko . . . *shudder*.
Futurama/Simpsons: I'll just let this say it all. *shudder*

Flat Earthers. It's difficult to maintain a belief when empirical proof to the contrary is rotating below you.

Sucrose Octanitrate.
Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.

Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the
grassy fields towards each other like two freight trains, one having
left York at 6.36pm travelling at 55mph, the other from Peterborough
at 4.19pm at a speed of 35mph.

There would almost certainly people trying to get to space who haven't thought things through and don't have the contacts to get people to cover their weakpoints, people who would be illegal immigrants if they'd headed north instead of up and people with bad luck who don't make it.

It would explain why people are living on a space station that was abandoned mid-build, and why the Space Patrol doesn't just move in and clean it up. (Sure, some of them might be Boskonians, but most of them are just suffering from bad luck or poor planning.)
But that moves this out of "silly" and into "plausible"...

It's probably also a major part of the media attention for the Institute and the Thunderbirds.
