Pinned Story Idea
Jan. 8th, 2015 08:58 pmThis was floating around on my desktop in a comment sticky. Thought I'd stick it here for future use. SPACE QUIDDITCH. That is all.
BOOK IDEA:
WRITE A ROMANCE NOVEL WITH PROTAG AND ROMANTIC INTEREST BOTH ASEXUAL (SENSUALISTS BUT WITH NO INTEREST IN INTERCOURSE, BUT STILL ALL IN WITH CUDDLING, HOLDING HANDS, KISSING, AND MASSAGING). THERE SHOULD BE REPRESENTATION FOR ALL PATCHES IN THE QUILTBAG
A fantasy / light sci fi short story set in the Biodome Sports Complex floating in orbit above the Earth. Space debris is collecting by roving "sharks" named so since they are always swimming, always "eating" the debris - which is then delivered and recycled into other stuff.
Basis of the Biodome Sports Complex is that sports loving fanatics were what finally drove us into space, after watching astronauts on the ISS play some random games, including Quidditch, in free fall. This sparks a revolution in demand for the space elevator to be fully designed and built (so the fans could watch live in the stadium as tradition dictates, as well as remotely via the netboxes).
Netboxes were the natural result of the merging of data surfing, web content streaming, cloud storage of entertainment, and cable/network television. They're more like netscreen films since they've gotten so thin...
All water use on planet is sustainable thru the use of collectors, cisterns, greywater use, and distributed, onsite, filtration/cleaning of water when used.
Power is also distributed with generation via multiple means localized with each house/living unit with send/receive automatically handled so that net generators balance with net utlizers. Power generation means include spray on solar, nano wind wirligigs, pressure (when you walk across your floor, you are sending that energy into the integrated system), etc.
The protag and love interest - maybe one of them works in the Biodome Sports Complex, maybe one of them is a Quidditch player, maybe a fan, maybe a systems operator, etc. Not sure yet.
Will need to create a believable (show, don't tell - much) universe around them, one that supports them and the main storyline of their meeting, falling, almost losing, and culminating in a potential happily ever after.
