Talk:Year 3578 OTT:- The events leading to the evacuation of Alpha Centauri

Well that wasn't bad at all. It would need some serious rewriting to make it fit into the Canon story line, but as a stand alone (non Canon story) it is darn good. (A little spell check too..but that is only cosmetics (coming from the quueen of typos I know...;-)

So yes the GC universe is large enough for other writers.

If you just want to write for fun... there are no restrictions of course.

Like any writer I am very protective about my writing and while I can't stop anyone from copying or creating GC Fiction. It won't be Canon, official or part of the GC Universe unless I endorse / authorize it. I want to make sure the character of my "baby" doesn't change.

But that does not mean you can't write or should not write for the GC Universe, be it stories or GalNet pages, but it it means it has to have the GC spirit/feel. So with all this said, if you want your writing to just for entertainment and not canon (meaning it doesn't really happen in the GC universe) you can post them here under the heading Stories of course.
 * Knight Ranger hasn't really written any stories yet but his articles are usually so good I have to check twice and make sure I didn't write them.
 * Silvak, when he writes tries very hard to stay in the GC boundaries and thus is "endorsed" by me and his stories are Canon.

If you want the stories to be Canon ...menaing they did happen or will happen in the GC universe and "my characters" migh reference to events and places mentioned (to make the Universe a more homogenous place) and your events will end up in the official time line. Your characters will have Wiki articles, and so are your places, ships, races etc.

If the second is your goal, here are the GC writers guidelines , I insist of :

 So with that said, here is a list of Galactic Chronicles Guidelines

 ·  ''' Terrans (Earthers) always win in the end. ''' The whole idea of the GC universe is that while the Universe is filled with life and civiliations, some are more advanced there is no other species that is as War loving, war like as the Terrans from Earth. That is the underlying philosophy of the entire GC Universe. I created the GC with the idea for a Universe where the real “Monsters” are the “Monkey boys” from Earth. So while there can be conflict and Terrans initially getting killed…they will always find a way. Sort of the “Bat Man” of the GC Universe.. (Hugo Strange told the alien invaders of Earth that it is not Superman, Green Lantern etc who are the most dangerous opponent but Bat Man) In the GC Universe the Earthers are not the strongest,not the fastest but the most aggressive / war like

 ·  Narth are the best most advanced PSI Talents. They are not Invulnerable, but the Narth Supreme is only defeatable if all Narth are killed and Narth Prime destroyed. (If you do want to kill / destroy a major Civilization let me know first please)

 ·  Richard Stahl. He is integrity impersonate. He will not do any shady things. So if you use Stahl as a character (and you are welcome to do so) Just make sure he does not Cheat,lie, steal, plot an overthrow to become the Emperor of the Union etc.

 ·   McEligott  : Now he is a different story, but he too has the Union close at heart and won’t do anything to willingly hurt the Union

 ·  Cherubim: If you need someone scheming, manipulating and devious, she’s your gal. She has Earth and Earth Humans (From Earth) first on her agenda and Union and others second. As long as Union and Union Members have the same goals she is alright with Union plans etc.

SII Security is the most rutheless and evil organization you can think off, Like KGB and CIA and MOSSAD together ruled by Stalin and Hitler) When the Union is at risk he will use all resources of SII to help to defend the Union, but not without his own Agenda. It is an Open secret, everyone suspects that SII is evil but there is never any evidence. That’s why it is called “The Good Company”

Although he is an immortal he is the “simplest” of all. He has no agendas, no hidden goals. He just wants to be a Police man. So if you need an Immortal “to practice” he would be a good choice

He is known as a myth to a few before 5020 and remains very reclusive even after the Decission in 5050. He is the most powerful entity other than the “One behind it all” (that’s me ..the author) but limits his influence. If you want to include the Dark One in your story : He would act in favour of the Union. He would act if Stahl asks him to do something, but otherwise stay out of the affairs of mortals. He repairs the RULE and removes or destroys most of the Entities in 5300. So after 5300 there aren’t many Godlike Beings left.

If at all possible limit alien Civilizations to tech Level 10. Level 11 are of course possible but should be very very rare. Tech Level 12 there should be only maybe 2-3 in the entire Universe. I am asking that as Tech Level 10,11,12 Civilizations would have a major impact on the GC story as a whole.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> I hope that doesn’t scare you or limit you too much, but then I am certain you understand how its meant.
