Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße. It's like looking for Peachtree in Atlanta.

Universes by johnny (2.00 / 0) #6 Thu Dec 10, 2015 at 08:38:06 AM EST

I like the idea of shared fictional universes with a benevolent instigator/show-runner. Especially if that show-runner/first writer makes some money at it. *

I like your description of the kind of writing that would not be condoned in that world.

The old "futuristic" terminal at JFK, I forget its designation, used to be the worst I had ever encountered. Substantially more third-world than anything I experienced in Africa in the 1970's. But they finally decommissioned it and put some nice new ones into service. "Took ya long enough!"

References to Nordhausen & Gravity's Rainbow appreciatively noted.

* Still waiting for this to happen to my Mind over Matter universe, what what. I did a bit of my own fanfic, re-imagining Acts of the Apostles as Biodigital. So far I'm not rich like Hugh Howey.

She has effectively checked out. She's an un-person of her own making. So it falls to me.--ad hoc (in the hole)

I think the publisher helped push it by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #8 Thu Dec 10, 2015 at 09:29:01 AM EST

Baen seems to have a lively internet presence, and a good stable of authors.

The description was a paraphrase of what Eric Flint has previously written. He got flooded with martial arts instructors stopping in Grantville, F-15's flying over at the very second it went back in time, people with trunks full of computer manuals and modern medicines and rare items.

An F15 would be useless by lm (2.00 / 0) #14 Fri Dec 11, 2015 at 06:12:26 AM EST

One afternoon worth of fuel and no satellites would make it nothing more than a curiosity in short order.

Good luck even finding the necessary tools to make the armaments useful if taken off of the plane.

Come to think of it, that might actually make for an interesting story.

The Final Countdown. Must remove the blonde wig and air guitars, because this is not that song by Europe, but the movie starring a time travelling aircraft carrier.

Also, fuel wouldn't be a huge issue by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #17 Fri Dec 11, 2015 at 08:59:21 AM EST

as diesel would work well enough, and heavy equipment and trucks from the mines and power plant came through, so there are plans to get diesel from the small local deposits, and maybe biodiesel.

THAT should be America's national bird.

Those birds burn through fuel like nobody's business. Small local deposits and biofuels aren't going to cut it unless they've got a dedicated infrastructure already in place.
