"This novel is highly unappreciated... A homage to Victorian Era literature with a contemporary take. It's crazy to me that this hasn't garnered more readership." - Patrick Attaway, Demise of the Podcast

Getting to that age where instead of, "X years ago." I'm going, "X decades ago." and it still feels weird.
Like when I was teaching a class of undergrads and brought up 9/11 and realized the date, and that none of them were alive when it happened, while I was in high school.

The story takes place in the 28,000's technically, with the timeline diverging with one man's birth in 1979.
So there is an Earth (Terra) where all of the characters on Kolybel ancestors are from. It's exactly like ours until 1979, I can't find the day right now.
Long way of saying evolution.

Hello, #DecemberWorldbuilders! Tell us about the creation of your people according to the in-world lore. Were they created by gods? Did they evolve from single-celled organisms? Maybe a bit of both? Maybe they don't know, and maybe they have stories about it. What are their creation myths?

In 2004, I was student council president. It was my job to lead the holiday assembly where presenters talked about different holidays. I thought it was dry, so I brought an aluminum pole for the finale.
I then recited the history and traditions of Festivus.
Was a hit, and fun. Something different.

Canada is not a perfect country, and there is a thin line between pride and nationalism. That said, I’m proud that we remain belligerent little wolverines against the fascist freak show going on down south. We’re as pissed as we were on day one. Except parts of Alberta, idk what they’re on about.

Most get a name when they're interesting enough that I sorta 'bookmark' them with a name, or if I know they'll return in another scene.
The only other time was naming the three Autemá who attack Tatyana at the Second Sun base; a 1v3 fight with 3 no-names would not work... They can't return later.

How do they feel about it? What are they using it for? Is it beneficial?

So, if you've looked at my patreon, you may have noticed the bulk of it is a 75,000+ word novel. And though it's free to read, that can be intimidating.
So perhaps try my short story: Hunted in the Wolf Wood and see if my style is to your liking.

Excited for tonight: First munch in years, and first time it's with my husband (of whom I have no dynamic, BDSM is really just a passing interest of mine, really, not something I look for in a partner).

The overthrown Councils were designed to temper scientific progress, out of fear of what (nuclear hellfire) it might bring. Since the revolutions, many nations are surging ahead with all kinds of research.
In most nations, education is available to everyone, and contributions are made by many.

Love in Second Sun
I just realized Tat spends the novel mourning two loves. Nika for her resilience, bravery, and highly compatible masochism. Yuri for his sense of purpose and steadfastness. Things Tat respects.
Then after escaping she goes to rescue Kali. Never met her. Who embodies all they were.
