Like, I have two huge narrative buttons that are kind of hard to describe. One is something like "character's childhood described in moderate-to-high detail", and plenty of books do that but I haven't found one that really hit it dead-on. The other is "an individual or small group cooperatively establishes a sustainable lifestyle using the resources in their environment, with low-to-zero interaction/assistance from outsiders". ITTG hits that one dead on, TWICE.
Not to say that we should glowfic, but your enthusiasm actually makes me curious. What I read from wikipedia didn't sound that interesting, or complicated...
So... I am at a weird mood where I want mix Magic-Fantasy with Sci-Fi, generally get a character from a genre and drop them in a world from the other.
My favorite variations:
Character(s) from Hex, Medalion or Gemini (incandescence) is dropped in the Worm-verse.
Tinker from Worm-verse is dropped in some low-tech world maybe Narnia, maybe Quinn, or even Dragon Age (which I am not familiar with)
Also open to original settings. Anyone up to?
