What NOT to Do with Planets - R-SPEC - Rochester Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror

On May 3, we discuss what notto do with planets during our virtual monthly meeting with the R-SPEC Team.

There are certainly many things most authors would probably avoid, such as pushing a planet into a black hole or disintegrating a inhabited world à la“Star Wars” Death Star.

Yet, there are other things authors do that can be equally as horrific, such as burdening a world with a single agricultural crop or a single magical faith.

What is an author to do?

We’ll discuss some remedies and look at examples of how other authors succeeded and failed in their pursuit of world-building to support their stories, novels, and cinematic creations.

Location: Zoom (Please join us about 10 minutes before the regular 7 p.m. start time to ensure you're connected.)

Meeting Time: Tuesday, May 3, 2022 from 7-9 p.m. ET

Note: The presentation portion of the meeting may be recorded, and a link to the recording posted on our website. The reading portion of the meeting will not be recorded.
