Due to looking at "Drunkards Walk", after wandering away for a few years, I was led to Fenspace...
I was wondering about introducing a "No Name Fan" (as opposed to BNF) starting back in Season Zero.
He'd be a British SF/miniatures wargaming fan who was a bit (a lot) of a recluse. His particular area would be making things that were naturally invisible, via handwaving negative refractive index meta materials, among other tricks, with the aim to keep himself under the authorities radar, and having a home on the far side of the Moon. Also ways of avoiding hadwavium accidents, while building stuff. Stuff being mostly Robots and Spaceships.
He'd be mostly really into obscure fandom, like original "Mighty Atom" (Astro Boy) and Gerry Anderson's "Fireball XL5", with a good dose of early space opera, like Van Vogt, John W Campbell, and, of course, 'Doc' Smith. Mind you, I was looking at the Tottoro 'cat bus' as an interesting AI vehicle...
One reason he went this way is he got his fingers sort of burned with his first big handwavium project. Though you could read this other ways...
Part of the logic is not treading on other people's toes, though I'm a bit worried I might be using tech which stretches what you should do in Fanspace too much.
I've written a few test stories, the first actually set in Season One, the rest in Season Zero.
Could someone please point me to info on what I need to do so people can see these stories, and maybe comment on them?
I'm looking for feedback, and collaboration so stories don't just involve my characters, and original NPCs.
Ta, and, Cheers!
