New column from me on why interstellar space travel will never, ever be a thing, and how it's kind of weird that they keep telling us otherwise:

Interstellar Space Travel Will Never, Ever Happen
It's basically impossible and they know it.

Look, we're not saying that primarily we write out of spite or anything, but there is a fairly direct line between having to read hundreds of pages of dense, sexless mlm for book club and the five thousand words and counting of lesbian erotica we've written this week.

#Septopolis wrap up.
We missed a few days at the end because our headspace and lack of ability to work to our own satisfaction in much but the written word. But overall we really appreciated the event, it was a lovely chance to walk through Castine again and find bits we'd never seen before.

We're at the end! For this last day, I'll leave it as a free space or for your closing thoughts! Did this do what it needed for you? Did you learn a lot or make friends? :3
(I'd also appreciate feedback to improve for next year, maybe. 👉👈)

#Septopolis (29) We wanna shout out @writing.aksan.dev for introducing Us to this monthly challenge, and MythAugust before it ^^ We don't normally post on social media much, so this was a fun way to get immersed and make something.
#Septopolis 29
It takes a village! Or floating city, underground hideout, star fleet...
Anyways, a single person isn't running a show by themselves, nor do we create alone. So, today, give some acknowledgement to those who inspired you in some way on your journey.

Look, it's the dragons, they conquered the city, tamed the volcano, and now most of the city is part dragonblood.
Teryte is about dragons, be that their intimacy with humans, each other, or the impact of them on the machinations of the gods.
And that's just our active WIPs.

What people or groups are making the biggest splash here that's plot relevant in the most or least spoiler-y way possible? Who's your Giovanni and his Team Rocket?
(Look, I'm a big Pokémon fan; first thing I thought of.)

What is 'now'? We're never writing in less than three time periods at a time to be honest.
In one section we are writing the Exile Mages are returning after 700 years.
In another a plague is ravaging the city.
In yet another the city is tearing itself apart in fear.
It's odd.

Oh gosh, loads. So, there are the solstice and equinox celebrations, these show up in all sorts of stories, including one Queen announcing her pregnancy at the summer one by standing in the pure and letting it burn away her dress to show the bump.

Moving into current events! Feel free to talk about multiple if you'd like to, but first and foremost I want to know what the characters might get to experience some R&R and fun times (this might tie into tomorrow's question, for maybe not so fun times!).

Honestly, there is a touch of other settlements thinking of Castinians as a 'hoity-toity elite' and that it is an excessively queer space, neither are exactly wrong, but, also, neither are taken to a true distain. Now, what the Inigne North think of Castine . . . That's for a book.

Okay, so this is going to feel like it escalates quickly.
Crime in Castine is fundamentally the lowest in the New Federation, which has low crime rates due to measures like UBI, the Queen's Grace, and collectivist values in their education, philosophies and beliefs.
🧵 of 20 sorry.

If crime isn't something you want to calculate or give voice to, give us some unusual laws (or, to loosen it, social mores).
or do both lol

The city of Castine is the seat of the Monarchy, but governing the city itself falls on a council of twelve. They are a split of elected, from regions of the city, four from the outer city, two from the inner, and the rest are appointed, by various authorities of the city.

So, Castine has the usual, parks, inns, tearooms even. Notably the alcohol content of what the inns server is closer to historic light bear, then what we drink now, and caffeine contents are also low.
There are also the huge public baths which can become a gathering spot.

TGIF or something. I'm going to ruin it by asking you about work. More specifically, the predominant workforce in this place.
Then take it one step further: what's sold elsewhere (including non-physical "goods") and what must be brought in from outside?

Generally though, Castine is a city with low slopping roofs, and buildings either defined by the black stone of the mountain, or white plaster.

Castine is divided between the inner, walled city that rises up the slopes of Etara, and the outer rings, separated by the ring of park land that keeps the walls meaningful.
The inner city residents number around 100,000 while a little over twice that live in the outer city.

So, the best description of Castine is that magic has dominated their technology and things that we pursued, like gunpowder, they have ignored because they have better tools.

2. Doing what you can for the greater cause
3. That what you do today, not what you did yesterday, or what you promise tomorrow, defines you

Castine, like most of the New Federation is bilingual between the common tongue, taught to humans in their early days by Fate, and the common sign, taught by humans to Fate.
On the page these become English and transcribed BSL, with ambitions towards SignWritten editions later.
