Other times I totally gloss it over (Air Pirates has 3 moons, and I didn't consider tidal patterns one bit; it's high tide when the story says it's high tide!). I think both are probably acceptable, in moderation.<br /><br />* I've never met anyone named Anica, but in the Air Pirates world there is an island, a people, and even a legend that bears that name. Maybe I'll share the story here some time (because it's not in the novel).Adam Heinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225813532455467868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-26672657196211394112009-06-25T22:03:54.037+07:002009-06-25T22:03:54.037+07:00Ah, the craziness of worldbuilding.

And that's all given that I'm using a planet roughly the size of Earth, with one sun and one moon! (I considered doing otherwise, but I just couldn't bring myself to get into the kind of insanity that would bring. Tidal patterns! AHHH!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-36418293140310162902009-06-02T23:57:04.507+07:002009-06-02T23:57:04.507+07:00Great post Adam.

Like with my current WIP, everyone has "superpowers" essentially but it takes place in a pseudo present America. <br /><br />My explanation? A Cold War anti-radiation poisoning pill that people popped like candy. It had a few...side effects. I don't go into huge detail, but that background info is important to the story.Natalie Whipplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978251567306345129noreply@blogger.com
