Vela getting a reality check (and some worldbuilding). From 'Cloudgazer' #WIPsnips #writesky #sff

Pasting these grids somewhere quickly. Like printing them out. Or laying them over a ref. I just like to export them to where I might need them.

I second the grid thing. I used to have a little app to just push vanishing grids to the clipboard. But lost it under Linux.

I think mind/brain damage (yay). In a paper just hot off the press they think it's a type of inflammation. They hope to find drugs with less side-effects than the currently known ones. Gives me some hope. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... And it's crazy that theres still such open speculation..

Yes. The glimpses will hopefully help to put together some more worldbuilding and deeper implications about the world that 'Cloudgazer' takes place in.

The debut of the antagonist. From 'Cloudgazer' Still very fresh WIP. #WIPsnips #writesky #sff

If they are setup to do it, yea. Belle kind of justified it with her mercenary work, to be able to "blend in", how ever a 2.1 m cheerful cyborg woman does that.

Definetly gradual. I sometimes like big loredumps but only in film etc. In writing it would bore me.

First fiction. So far i only published scientific Papers and reviews and a lot of technical reports. Sff really is a diffrent beast.

I try to root that in the worldbuilding, with the characters learning more about their World, good and bad.

SciFi with a hint of magic I'd say.

Vela trauma-dumping about her past. Thats very WIP but establishes her relation to the Alliance and the AIs. Still have to place it somewhere ... #WIPsnips #writesky

Vela and Brynn work diligently at first. Brynn gets distracted by VR things but will tell everyone that it's just faster to research things in VR fullsim. Belle brings a ton of snacks, spreads them on the table and subsequently eats most of them. She will definetly cheer for Vela when she presents.

I love those red brick buildings with metal xbox like attachemts. Even though I often wonder how it must feel like to be in them.

That hits the nail on the head for how his books felt in the end. Again and again.

Vela finds a mysterious cube. Nothing bad ever happens with that. 'Cloudgazer' #WIPsnips #writesky #sff

From 'Chased'. The ship is getting interdicted by pirates. #WIPsnips #writesky

Thanks a lot ! Me too. ✨

I actually wrote a scene where Belle, Brynn, Silph and Vela bake a cake together.
Only Belle knows the recipe.
Vela brings dry ingredients.
Brynn secretly stashes ready-made cakes, just in case.
Silph doesnt know what a cake is.
Belle brings fresh eggs from her home, that she hid in a stasis pod.
