Quote:Hi! By posting here, you're in.
this is the first time I've noticed this new section and I decided to ask how a) one gets into it,
Creative writing in the setting is highly encouraged, but not absolutely required.
Many, but not all, of the regular characters appear in this current thread - I'd suggest giving it a look-see to get a feel for the setting.
Quote:There's a "Rules" sticky that discusses the major do's and dont's on 'wavium.
and b) the limits of handwavium.
Universe re-engineering is probably beyond the capabilities of 'wavium right now; I'd think that's a "generation after the next generation" application if it's possible at all. Time travel is also off-limits, as are actual superpowers. Immortality... who knows? The stuff's been around for less than a decade...
Increasing gravity is definitely possible; my character's done it once. Increasing gravity to offset dark matter... dunno.
Just a suggestion - any character with godlike powers is going to have to have some godlike limitations to be at all interesting. My character isn't godlike; he's "only" filthy rich... but that's enough to make a lot of people dislike him. This was done on purpose, for the story possibilities.
