No Need for Nanotech!

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Ok so I want the Elves to maybe have a little bit of nanotech but not advance nanotech but I also need them to be able to upload their minds and for this there are two ways I think it could be down one is to map the structures of the brain which would require […]

The Second Half of the Punk

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

As I’ve collapsed Series One and Three into one it sort of seems that the story arch is really more of a continium than three distinct series. So the other Punk books will be called: 15)The Punk in Silver 16)The Punk in Gold 17)The Punk in Bronze 18)The Punk in Crom 19)The Punk in Plantinium […]

The Uploaded Mind

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Why is the Computer Arceteck so worried about keeping precise back ups of the memories? The Elves are obsessed with immortality and one of the things they have persued is uploaded concousness into their computer system – now this does bring about some thorny questions as to what concousness actually is but lets say for […]

Super Computer

Monday, December 7th, 2009

So the Elves had a Super Computer that was basically global it has three cores and is made of optical electronics – ie fibre optic stuff which though fragile if protected could last a long time. The Elves are used to working with glass due to the volcanoes so it was only natural that this […]

Litpitch – twitter synopsies

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

On Twitter there are chats these tend to be sceduled for specific days and times and have a hash tag associated with them – one such chat is called #litchat and during November one of the Litchat sessions had a contest called #litpitch where you tweeted synopses of your novel. There was no limit on […]

A Truelly Global Computer Network

Friday, December 4th, 2009

The Elves have three ocean ’empires’ but they never really went independent and so when they came to develope high tech and computer networks they didn’t think of making it resilient to attack becuase who was going to be attacking them? They had subjegated the other higher primate races and reinged supreme upon the Earth. […]

Conspiracy theories and Secret Societies

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

The Elves or Aquatic Apes have to be running human endevours from the sidelines – this takes us straight into the realm of Conspiracy Theories and Secret Societies! Eeek this means more research as these societies have to stretch out through the generations meaning that things like the Knights Templar and their rivals have to […]

Vocano-Tech

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

The Elves are Aquatic Apes but why did these higher primates go back into the water? The answer is that they lives on unstable volcanic islands and periodically found their world sinking into the sea. They would move onto the next island maybe living for long periods actually in the water. The volcanos though provided […]

NaNo Over

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

I realise today with the forum saying its officially over just how much I’m going to miss NaNoWriMo – for the past month and for a while before that it has been my reason to get up. Now its over but the stories not but I want to do some more research and read what […]
