New to the forums

[Matterplay1]

So I am quite new to the forums, having had a profile for quite a while but never making much use to it. So salvette, and quick question, why are y'all so scared of writing about high singularity beings?

I don't know that 'scared' would be the right word. It is true though that portraying OA's high singularity beings is something that needs to be done subtly if it is to be done well. Otherwise the reader is going to think (or say) something like:

"This character is hyperhumanly intelligent and capable and that's all they can manage?"

In practice this puts transapients and archailects somewhere around the periphery of the story's action. You can only have them doing and saying so much before the reader starts to see plot holes. That, and of course a being who has human-scale limitations and challenges is going to be a lot more interesting to most readers than one whose very problems and challenges are supposed to be hard to to define.
