Yea, definitely, that'd be cool! I was thinking about some horror or sci-fy ideas like cats in space, but I'm really not sure how to execute that.

Post by mintedstar/fur🦇 on Nov 12, 2019 16:11:56 GMT -5
Did you want the cats to have always been in space or to find some way to go there?

Ping me if you wanna word war perhaps, Sapphire? Okay... Any time in the next hour or so? Oat, one question is how serious do you want the premise to be? Like, do the cats "just happen" to be in/going to space, or do you want a plausible reason?

There have been many cats in space tales-some were genetically altered telepathic ship companions, others actual alien felines born on another planet. In my own SciFi the v space cats LOL are of Earth maine Coon origins but were genetically altered to create the felines that acompany my alien characters in space or elsewhere. It all depends on the tale you want to tell. and whether the felines are going to be sentient or not. A Warriors in space fan fic might be another planet where the dominant species are feline, and they have everything we do and maybe more, but live in Clans and believe in StarClan and have the same culture. To get some ideas you might read Anne Mccaffry's Decision at Doona, or the Skitty short stories. I forget who wrote them but I can look it up on my Kindle later. Another cool feline alien race is the Sholans in the Sholan Alliance series by Lissane Norman. My own books have Felakoons, of Maine Coon origin, bonded to my alien characters and are intelligent and telepathic. If you're interested just ask :-) I am certain I am forgetting a good number, as it is the kind of thing I have always loved to read.

Ever read A Beautiful Friendship by David Weber (and accompanying series), Phantom? :3 It's all about cat-like aliens called treecats, with names very like Warrior names and groups very like Warrior Clans.

But I should be around for the rest of the day!

Yesterday was crazy! I only just remembered to write anything at 11:40 and that was ... 12 words ... But I should be around for the rest of the day! Ahh no! And I ended up going home yesterday and forgot to log on here... I have 6397 words, though, which is pretty good considering I decided to shoot for a quarter of nano this year. I have a problem though - the chapter I'm currently writing for Butterflies has wildly overshot the wordcount I want. Like, when it's done it'll be twice as long as I need and I really don't know what I can cut.

I hope the binge writing worked out!
An update on the saga - I had an idea for another way to present one of the scenes, which is hopefully cooler but requires even! more! words! So expect no Butterflies until the end of the month and then three chapters all at once, I think...
