- The days on my alien species' home planet are ~60 hours long

- Their eggs always hatch around dusk or dawn, giving the individual their moiety …

- … because the first 30 hours shape their future development a lot.

- it is in adolescence these differences become pronounced

- The eggs need a certain fungi in the ground to survive, growing roots to do so. Sometimes two eggs in the same nursery intertwine, giving rise to their version of 'twins'

- The aliens speak English due to over a hundred years of research and translation.

- In the 19th century (Earth), humanity was all the rage among the Kia'l because …

- … sapient life is rare, especially life that could reach First Contact status well within the life span of young Kia'i

- Khalana, an alien MC, has created the latest "dictionary"

- It allows one of her species to pass as human within weeks or months instead of years.

1. Although it is a space opera, the first book takes place only on Earth.

2. Locations most readers won't have heard of, but which exist include Socotra, Malå, and the (IRL dilapidated) Haileybury house.

3. In books one and two, I explore a greater question of the process of separating timelines (it takes hundreds of years for universes to branch)

5. It is hard sci-fi exploring the universe in Star Maker by Olaf Stapledon.

I'll bite!

1: Takes place in Ontario in 1976. Coffee shops are far and few between.

2: The far north is flat out bush country. Like today.

3: Weird research grant given to pretty, rich Masters student. Poor friend did all the work.

4: There's a monster in the woods. And a boor in the house.

5: Lack of social media (or even a phone line) makes everyone super reflective. Not all people are deep. But they are tasty.

#5ThingsWIP #5ThingsAboutMyWIP

1. Falling for someone and his imposter leads to strange bedroom consequences.
2. It matters little if you are a criminal if someone in power needs you.
3. Being someone's tool makes choice difficult.
4 If you stay true to your principles, others will notice. Whether that's good or bad...?
5 Knowing that the world may end in 603 days if you don't do something is very motivating.

- My advanced alien civilization collectively underwent a genetic procedure

- it extended all 12-year-olds' lives from ~82 -> ~308

- before, their life stages were similar to human

- after the Restoration they designed new life stages: childhood, maturation, first adulthood, second adulthood, (optional third for overachievers), second childhood

- only childhood and maturation are biological and tied to age. The other are merit-based.

It can even work if you're fan of just the one.
