Re: [OT] Short sci-fi story: The Lifeboat
This's good!
Could be an epic long story, but good enough as it is!

Re: [OT] Short sci-fi story: The Lifeboat
That is a great story! Very captivating and interesting to read.
Will there be any other additions to this?

They were armed. With guns, said Omari.
Canadians. With guns. And a warship. What is this world coming to?

Not from me. It gets boring after this: Just a load of hardship, cameradery in adversity, exploration, character-building, conflict, tragedy & drama against the backdrop of the persistent human struggle against overwhelming challenges.
Not the kind of thing that good stories are made of, really.
I see it more as an excercise in "what would I do in his shoes? What stuff would I bring if that alien landed in my garden right now? How would I manage those resources on an alien world?" I think a 4X game would make a better sequel than anything I could ever write.
If anyone else wants to write a follow up though, I'd be eager to read it. |

Re: [OT] Short sci-fi story: The Lifeboat
That's funny D, I was thinking this would be a great backstory for a new 4x or role-playing game.

Re: [OT] Short sci-fi story: The Lifeboat
/methinks that Aaron should get Dogscoff to write up the backstory for SE5 and use some of it as advertising. 
Great stuff yet again; now get back to working on OnC.
