Flat Earth SciFi Story
« on: October 11, 2016, 02:15:30 PM »
  Okay, first post. Hello all, as far as you know my name is Norr and this is the first FE forum I signed up for. I'm neither a Flat or Sphere Earthed more somewhere in between. Stupid right? Anyway a few rules if you would like to join in on this endeavor.

1: Don't be a eyhole.
2: Assume everything is real.
3: No 'holier than thou' or 'conspiracy theorist' attitude about this.
4: This is for fun, so have some.
5: Religion is fine but do NOT get preachy about it. At that point there's no possible way you don't know that you're being annoying.
6: The term 'round earther' or any variation shan't be used here as it is redundant. Even a flat earth is round.
7: No debates. The absolute truth is that what you see is your personal perception and is therefore biased 100% so no one can say if there is a curve or not. Period

  Alright, I have become fascinated with the possibility that the earth is flat. I began researching it a few years ago and have been coming up with various ideas since then.  I would like to use those ideas and of course any ideas you all may have, to create a series of short stories that intertwine slightly.

  These stories will propose that both ideas are equally true and will use religious and scientific aspects to make it so.

  Its not much to go on but I really don't feel like pouring my thoughts out if no one is going to read them. If anyone is interested in something like this, brainstorming or contributing to, just post and we'll work together to hopefully create some stories that BOTH sides will enjoy.


Also if this is in the wrong section please move it to the correct one. This being 80% about the earth being flat it seemed right to put it here

I'll read them. And comment when inspired.

  Fair enough. Here's one idea for one short story. The gist is, everything is far older than we were taught, habitable planets are a thing of the past. Advanced civilizations long converted their planets into intergalactic spacecraft. So in this tale history is completely true but further back in the past than we are taught. Humanity has converted the earth into a flat disk 'ship' just trying to survive in the lonely universe. All the while the governments are keeping this a secret because everyone is sheeple obviously. Will go into vastly more detail if anyone is interested.

Another probably less interesting take is combining flat earth theory with quantum mechanics. In this short the earth is flat from the perspective of the viewer on the surface but collapses into a spherical shape once the observer has left the surface.

The final short in mind deals with up to 7 individuals from different sects of life coming to terms with the fact the earth is a flat plane. It will hopefully be able to go into some detail about how they each deal with this truth.

  I have a few more and once again I don't feel like giving a full story if no one is interested. So if these tidbits interest you then please post here or pm me. We can talk about your beliefs on the matter and incorporate them into the shorts.

  I very much love writing, or at least coming up with ideas for a good story and I am always looking for help.

All very well and interesting, but the moderator will probably move it to Complete Nonsense.

  That's fine if that's where it should go. As I said I have no idea where something like this should really go I just assumed the general would be ok for now.

Moving this won't remove the other posts will it? If not then think on those simple concepts for a while and give some insight. Just your general ideas on both, your beliefs both religiously and scientifically. Just no using ose reasons to start a fight. If moving it removes the posts then oh well
