Community SciFi writing project proposal

AI Thread Summary
A Community Writing project is proposed as a collaborative storytelling initiative where community members contribute to a story chapter by chapter, typically set in the forum's context. The project seeks feedback from moderators regarding potential issues and gauges community interest in participation. If interest is confirmed, discussions on rules and settings will follow, with a focus on a loosely defined narrative. The suggested plot features a protagonist named Greg, whose consciousness is transferred to the internet, where he must manage a science forum while battling a villainous computer virus named Evolina, who threatens to erase scientific knowledge. The story includes humorous challenges that Greg and his cyberdog, Phindsee, must overcome. However, initial interest appears low, with a suggestion to revisit the idea in the future as the forum develops.

Since there has been little activity on this part of the forum the past week I have a few questions to pose to those who visit

First a definition. A Community Writing project, is what it sounds like. Its a Story written by the community. normally the setting is based on the board it is posted on. It is written Chapter by chapter by different contributors.

My First question is to the Moderators. Is there any problems with this?

My second question is to the Community itself. Is there any interest?

If there is interest in this We can talk about rules and setting, Likely the setting will be very loosely defined with the writers creating the setting as it is written. It will be Soft(ish) SF

Good idea, not much interest though :( Maybe try again in a few months when this forum has "matured" a bit.
 


Brainstorming time!

How about the main character is a guy named Greg who gets his consciousness transferred into the internet where he has to operate a forum for science with his thoughts?

The main villain is named Evolina, a computer virus gone rampant which is attempting to wipe out all scientific knowledge on the internet.

Greg, and his pet cyberdog, Phindsee, will have to best the evil Evolina in several challenges, including fish slapping, cake eating contests, and the dreaded "Math test but forgot pants" challenge!
 
A map of a four-dimensional planet is three dimensional, so such can exist in our Universe. I made one and posted a video to the Internet. This is all based on William Kingdon Clifford's math from the 19th century. It works like this. A 4D planet has two perpendicular planes of rotation. The intersection of such a plane with the surface of the planet is a great circle. We can define latitude as the arctan( distance from one plane/distance from the other plane). The set of all points...
