Thanks again Todd!
You've really out done yourself in providing with me resources and support. I loved your input on my first write up. If energy based does not work here, that's fine. I have not found one mention of multiverse theory here, so I'm concluding that is not a part of the Canon.
I will be respecting the Canon. Challenge accepted! The Canon is vast.
I did get my AT2 copy today. Thanks for giving it a glossary at the beginning. I'm starting it tonight. I've said this is several posts, I'm not going to really try anything really yet. I still have my own to finish and I was progressing with it at break neck speed. The discovery of this forum slowed it down. But I think this forum is going to enrich it.
Right now, just the word provolve. I avoid using many new and invented terms, in my book to keep it as accessible to a wide audience. But I think my background story for pets will require a term. So using the word provolve sounds really cool to me and it is instant shout out. Plus, history and culture are major focuses of mine. I've already planned a formal dinner setting where sci-fi as a genre is brought up. OA now has a guaranteed mention.
Idea wise, I do keep finding similarities in our ideas but that's all that matches, the idea. Terminology, history, philosophy, and attitudes diverge, keeping us unique to each other. I'm sure if I want to borrow more ideas, I'll tell you. But for now, just the word provolve because I need one for that.
This forum is legit fun. I'm off to read AT2.
