I would suggest a series of short stories if you like the setting and are enjoying writing it.
I think something more relatable might get the solar punk message across. I only dipped into the short story you posted and it felt more fantasy than near future sci-fi.
And tbh, I opened it more because I'm a mushroom and sci-fi/fantasy nerd and saw your post in the sci-fi sub.
I generally only lurk here out of interest in urban mycology/farming
I was thinking about that too. Could be cool to experiment with different characters, factions, etc.
Its just that with the mention of actual federated social media, many people seem to immediatly recoil. And then if you introduce some metaphor for the Fediverse like the Fungiverse, then you also have to incorporate it in a world that really embraces the concept.
Ah, I see. Maybe I do need to edit the story again so it fits more the primary genre ... let's see. Thanks for the feedback ;)
Wow. Mycology what a awesome name! :D
Study of fungus ;)
Mycelium etc. I'm mostly an amateur. Grow edibles for my partner and I and sell/share with friends and neighbors.
I can dig up some good podcasts. If you search your favorite podcast service for queer mycology you can learn some interesting things about fungi in a couple of hours :)
I used to hunt mushrooms with my grandparents as a kid. Got some good memories there. I'm also watched one or the other fungi docu on Netflix. Fascinating stuff.
Ha ha. It's such a niche topic but I'm increasingly fascinated by it. Will definitely check out such a podcast :)
