What is up with that?
14 years ago
That being me not doing anything writing-wise.
Well, I am still writing but I am not satisfied with One-Shots anymore. Over the years I have
read hundreds, if not thousands of stories and there was always one thing I enjoyed the most:
Background!
Yes, that includes what I term "Stroke-Fiction". Even if the story is meant solely to satisfy
perverted Urges, it is always nice to know a little bit about what makes the Characters tick.
Wonderful examples are Jay Naylor, Jim Hardiman and Miu. Their Characters have some History,
goals, dislikes, loves etc etc..and that is what makes them seem, in lack of a better word, alive.
Long story short: I am trying to work up a Barebone World which I can add to over time, fleshing it
out through short stories and maybe even an ongoing Story-Series if Inspiration strikes.
The hard part of it is...I am trying to find an Idea that HASN'T been done to Death yet.
I want to keep away from too cheesy clichè's if at all possible. So the Alternative Dimension (Sliders),
Genetic Super-Soldiers (Moreau-Series) and Aliens (too many to count, OY!..okay, Alien Nation is a
good example) as the Source for Anthros are out. The naturally evolved Scenario has some credit even if it
is also quite clichè'd already...but might conflict with something else I definitely want to implement.
Anyway, this is a "Nope, not dead."-Journal, also, it puts the old one out of it's misery.
