I'm an amateur writer, and a big fan of speculative fiction. It always struck me as odd how fantasy was always stuck in the past, and if it showed a modern setting, it was always the real world, never a fictional one. So I set out to create a mid-twentieth century fantasy universe.
It's hard. But the hardest part is the culture. I have essentially destroyed every song, film, painting, sculpture, book, historical reference, figure of speech and religion. Now I need to replace them.
Dear (potential) readers, that's where you come in. Any of the above pieces of culture that you submit, that can exist in my universe, will exist. Every character could hate it, it could be the equivalent of a rickroll, but it will exist.
If you don't think music can be expressed in novels, I recommend Sergei Lukyanenko's Night Watch series.
Personally I'm hoping that someone notable will participate.
An email address for submissions will be up soon, as well as more information about the universe.
