Hi all, I'm brand new to OA. I stumbled on the
Banks' Orbital article last week while doing research for some Iain M. Banksian fan fiction I have been working on. It definitely took me a minute to realize what I was looking at, but I've been enjoying a bunch of articles and fiction. Now I'm sort of rethinking my project to see if it fits into OA.
I love the community aspect to this, and the constraints you've set on the project.
Looking forward to reading more and maybe writing something.

Hi! You might also enjoy the Children of Time series, which also explores interactions between differently minded species.
