@PerfectFifths Iām exactly the same way. XD Itās easy to spot it in others ācause Iām likeā¦oooh, yes, I know how they feel. š
Thatās also one of the reasons I thought he was a J. Something Iāve noticed is that Feeling Judgersāsome at leastātend to worry more over how someoneāll react to what they say, and/or be more afraid of hurting feelings. More than Perceivers do. I guess it wasnāt extremely scientific observation.
Hey @Leumeister, I really wish I could help out, but good luck all the same. š *roaring inspirational music*Oh and @Leumeister, Flournoy is pronounced Floor-noy. The most common mispronuciation we get is Floor-nee, or Flur-nee. š

I just tagged everyone who has posted. š
Anyway,Ā Aquila has grown a lot since I last posted. It hasnātĀ had much progress in the way of converting it to a TV show, but Iāve written quite a few more stories, some of which are almost finished.
Iāve done a fair bit of worldbuilding too. Well, kinda.
There arenāt any teleporters anymore and are replaced with Alcubierre torpedoes, basically, an Alcubierre drive strapped to a cylinder carrying the cargo. It homes in on a āmail slotā.
Also, speaking of Alcubierre drives, I took away the FTL handwavium and replaced it with something that is theoretically possible. Basically, an Alcubierre drive contracts space in front of a craft, and expands it behind it, allowing space to flow around the vehicle, creating āsuperluminalā speeds without ever going superluminal. However, it still displays in light-seconds/minutes/years per hour for simplicity, and thatās how much space has flowed around you.
And I figured out this universeās pivotal innovation: Gravity manipulation. Without it, several technologies wouldnāt exist. The Alcubierre drive for one, artificial gravity, anti-gravity, force fields, and probably several other things, like tractor beams, and maybe forms of medical therapy. Itās like Zephram Cochraneās warp drive discovery in Star Trek.
Anyone interested in Alpha-reading? There are 15 stories that I have at the very least started. And I have a couple more in my head still. And even after those thatās still not all of them.
@leumeister I would love to, but unfortunately Iāve got a huge project on my hands right now (launching my first published book this year š ) and I promised myself I wouldnāt take on anything extra.
Wow, noice! š Godspeed on that then! ^_^ Your own works take priority over others, especially if theyāre gettinā published.
No problem. What did you think of the worldbuilding?
@leumeister itās quite science-y but also plausible. š I like the gravity manipulation thing. I have something slightly similar, only itās a negative energy pulsar that basically creates a mini wormhole around the ship and enables almost instantaneous transportation.
Lots of cool ideas. š
@kate-flournoy Where have you been?
"In a mask, was he?"
@kate-flournoy Oh.Ā Are you on SE?
"In a mask, was he?"
@ariel-ashira a little. Iām part of one of the guilds, but not as active as I should be.
@leumeister If you need someone I might be able to read them. Though because Iām entering a short story contest and I still need to write it, I canāt do it until after June 4 (which is the day I turn it in so Iāll be done).
IMMA KAPEEFER! Til we're old and gray!
@Leumeister Me! As long as thereās no urgent time crunch, because life is rather full right now, Iād love to. Cool worldbuilding, too. It mostly went over my head, but still. XD
Cool! š I think I can wait until June 4th. š
Sure, take your time. š No rush. Just remember to comment. š
