I didn't give a shit what you want, I'm going to uneat those people even if they are inbred space yokels.

Arthur C Clark and Douglas Adams got some weed from Terry Pratchett, and cowrote a story after binging star trek and smoking all their weed at Terry's place.

There was a post the other day in some writing subreddit from someone looking to start a small press, and they asked what writers would want from their small press publisher. And it was basically, "Treat me with the respect a human being deserves, not a like a number/revenue stream."

I'm sure at least one animator loathed a coworker.

I figure if we actually get to warp drive, and visiting other words is possible, if not common for things like vacation... then we're gonna have the healthcare thing pretty figured out on all fronts. For all species. I'm sure alien doctors have figured out helpful stuff for humans, and vice versa.

By the people? Oh no... something sorta mildly terrible might stick, like... the Green Streak.

Not at all... Their 'grandpa', all of them's got the same one, is a sort of... mildly insane, 'benevolent' hyperspace mind fractal that calls himself Jim. They were shards of his fractal, each watching their own species before he instantiated them into realspace. Absurdist, High-minded sci-fi.

I love a good 'don't call me that' nickname. Dragon Prophet is a great title.

I like Green Star, but you've also got Green Comet, right there. Not sure if that's better or worse for the character's vibe. It sounds like you're still workshopping/not set on fully set on Green Star, so there's another option to chew on (that you probably already thought of).

Jimantha Jimsonson(Gaian[human]) goes by Jimmi, because... well her name is Jimantha.
Jimbonk (Dungelar[snail person]) goes by bonk. Dropping the Jim.
Jimtarng (Killitoot[A space-squatch. Legally, not a wookie.]) just goes by Jimtarng, because, honestly, not that strange of a name for his species.

Abortion and reproductive care is legally available throughout MOST of the galaxy in the story. Only places that wouldn't be available is just because ain't nothin' available here, like... crashed on a moon with limited resources. Civilization is civilized. Star Trek civilized, not... modern style.

Totally never mentioned in my current work, but since it's the super sci-fi future, I think you could probably just take yourself and your mate to a clinic and be like, "Put our DNA together in the tube, please." Or do it the ol' fashioned way if you got the meat parts for it.

The smartest thing to worship in my current work is Mafdet, the Hyperspace Cat. She is divine, omniscient, and allpowerful, but also... a cat. Some revere her, some think she is worthy of worship, and some scoop her up like a little baby and snuggle their face into her belly while she 'objects'.

I recently saw the line to the end of the current manuscript I'm working on, a few last little plot points I was trying to wrap up all make sense now... I just gotta write it down now.
I decided to shave my book beard a little early. My wife was thrilled.

Someone recently told me to use less swear words. Fuck that.
Also I've been told that I shouldn't use 'Don't Panic' in the opening lines of a comedic scifi... like the entire point was to call up Douglas Adams vibes. Readers that loved it appreciated the Arthur C Clark meets Douglas Adams vibes.

You just gotta keep shouting into the void until something sticks. I got an hourish later today set aside for reading. Post your link and I'll read at least some of it.

That doesn't mean you aren't a writer. Post that link dammit. No one will see your work if you don't tell us where to find it!
