#PennedPossibilities 1012 How do your characters feel about seeing doctors or anyone in the medical field?

Callum hates having to go to the hospital and avoids doing so like the plague if he can help it, because he knows, doctors and nurses solely rely on #AI. Such reliance had cost his wife her life and he would better not know how many other.

This week on my #scifi #writing #podcast I continue my exploration of #TheCulture with a comparison of Contact with the Federation of #StarTrek and their #PrimeDirective. Spoiler: They're almost completely opposite.

#PennedPossibilities 803 — Is there anything unusual in your MC’s home?

In today's terms? Maybe. But not entirely.

By that certain future's terms? Hell yeah. Absolutely.
Callum is a dropout on a farm, avoiding technology (everything is "#AI-infested") any way he can,

#PennedPossibilities 805 Can you tell us about a “nightmare” of your MC’s that came true?

Callum, a then software engineer warned about the dangers of #AI, but nobody listened to him. The story starts with him being a dropout on a farm after being forced out of his job and having to see society revolve around AI more.

For those wondering why my posts have been apolitical, a McCarthyite witch hunt is underway in Florida that's nabbed many for social media posts. I'm still hitting anti-fascist/anti-racist themes in my fiction. The witch hunters are generally too dumb to read fiction.

Ich wüsste keine konkrete Erinnerung, aber die Erinnerung involviert sehr wahrscheinlich Lucas besten Freund Marc.

#WritersCoffeeClub 11 Do you consider any of your work to be unfilmable?

Not per se. It's all a matter of budget.

I would shoot the #SoulBearer trilogy in #TheVolume/ #Stagecraft™️ due to it being fantasy and therefore requiring quite some VFX shots. Later scenes of #FindingMe take place in the future. #MichaelAndLucas probably never gets completed.

#PhantastikPrompts JUL-07 Welche deiner Figuren könnte eine eigene Fernsehshow bekommen und was für eine Sendung wäre das?

Luca und Marc aus #FindingMe würden eine #ScienceFiction-Talkshow zusammen machen und die beiden Nerds würden dabei wahrscheinlich die Zeit ihres Lebens haben und ständig ihre Sendezeit überziehen.

#PhantastikPrompts MAR-05 Worin unterscheidet sich deine Geschichte grundsätzlich von anderen desselben Genres?

In #FindingMe geht es um #Zeitreisen, allerdings kombiniere ich hier zwei normalerweise gegensätzliche Ansätze.

Ein weiterer Unterschied ist, dass andere Zeitreisegeschichten im Gegensatz zu meiner am Ende auch einen Sinn haben 😬 😅

#PennedPossibilities 231 — Has your MC or SC retained any friendships from their childhood or young adulthood? (Credit: @aperfectsong)

I don't know exactly, when Luca and Marc first met, but it must have been quite some time before the first chapter, since they already know each other inside out. Together, they are seen living through decades and still enjoying shared hobbies at old age.

#PhantastikPrompts FEB-16 Beschreibe ein kurioses Gerät/Maschine/magischen Gegenstand aus deiner fiktionalen Welt

Die Zeitmaschine in #FindingMe ist inspiriert durch die #Stargate-Episode "Ascension" (5x03), in welcher Orlin ein Miniaturstargate in Samantha Carters Keller mit gerade ausreichend Energie, um ihn auf die andere Seite des durch das Gate erzeugten Wormlochs zu bringen, baut.

#amWriting #ZuriStories #WritingDiscussion #WritersChat #amWritingScienceFiction #amWritingSciFi

#WritersCoffeeClub FEB-19 Do you give your characters mannerisms? How do you do this?

Luca just can't stand making a nerdy popculture (mostly Science Fiction-related) joke when Marc is around.
