Tick Tock Hobbit Universe
A thread to submit links. (and ask questions)

For example :

- how long do we have?
- does word count matter?

RE: Tick Tock Hobbit Universe
Well lets first things first.

A shared universe needs some ground rules so you don't end up with conflicting views of the same universe. You don't want guy writing robots come out of the space craft in one story and puppies in the next. The first thing that needs to be done is establish some basics.

You need to know
1) the size of the world.
2) major races
3) whose in the ship(my vote is humans)
4) the religions
5) how magic works.
6)how the Tick Tocks work.
7) a rough outline of history.
8) what the basic cultural structure is like.

These are a few of things we should answer before starting in on a shared universe of stories.

RE: Tick Tock Hobbit Universe
I thought the POINT of the exercise was to see how varied the stories (and thus worlds) turned out. Ground rules would limit that variety.

RE: Tick Tock Hobbit Universe
Hmm....I may have misunderstood but the notion was presented as a responce to a question about writing in shared universes. Shared universes do have rules and shared structures. A set of varied stories on the same theme is fun and I have no problem with that, however I thought the idea was to have a shared universe. Maybe one of the mikes or summer can clarify what the idea was supposed to be?

RE: Tick Tock Hobbit Universe
So the hobbits are robotical/automatons of some kind? I can write, but I don't want to take it in a direction that wasn't intended. Some more information would be very helpful.

Looking forward to Tin Man on SciFi. BTW, your avatar is beautiful. Very suitable for autumn.

RE: Tick Tock Hobbit Universe
Okay, I just found the information:
a.) Hobbits
b.) Automatons [complexity of a wooden clock]
c.) Magic
d.) Crash landing

I can work with that...

RE: Tick Tock Hobbit Universe
Okay, here's the link to my story. Please give me some critique, both + and -. I want to improve my writing to make it the best possible, and I can only do that if you are honest. Thanks in advance.
