I feel like earthlings would've left billions of gallons of coal & oil on venus and mars or genetically engineered nightmare animals that doubled as rockets using their 3 anuses to shit so hard they thrusted into the air or however horrors are manmade

Nice to see the iSubstack speculative fiction scene expanding. I think we can potentially get some good stories going as a community and fight against the tide of mediocre fiction that characterizes a lot of this website.

I'm personally fine with either keeping this on your main account or posting it on a separate Substack. An alt account might be better for the sake of organization, but it would be easier to reach your main audience on this account. Maybe you could post on an alt, cross-post them with the iSubstack collab, and restack them on your main. Whatever you do, I look forward to seeing how this series will turn out.

Not your fault but whenever world building pieces throw a bunch of proper nouns at me I become retarded and forget all reading comprehension.

What is blud waffling about :skull: :skull: :skull: :fire:

I wasn't expecting to see you post fiction. You could do to revise some of the text for readability but this is really cool and I'm sure that people would love to see more, myself included.

Four more German Reichs, apparently. If at first you don't succeed...

What is an early industrialization driven by water engine (water wheel/mill) or horse/mule engine driven machinery? Why wouldn’t this world develop the same?

Sectionalism Archive's avatar

Yes but this also required a great surplus of people and it’s not clear if the economic growth of early industrialization could have been sustained without the eventual introduction of steam engines. Also, it’s only been so long since the collapse, so it can still develop more in the future. Water power will exist to some extent though

What do you think about NASA trying to build the star wars cloud city on venus instead of terraforming it
