Medieval Mars: Collaborating Authors Wanted!

I've built a new story world and I'm inviting other authors to come explore it with me.

Let me first describe the world a bit. On the description of my Medieval Mars novella, I wrote:

"A future terraformed Mars that has fallen into technological collapse. Knights in armor, called "riders," patrol a circuit for pilgrims bound for the Gran Templo Bautista of Chryse Planitia, on a planet divided into feudal governments, where real dragons prowl the lowlands. When the heretic King of Olympus closes the door to the pilgrimage, the outnumbered riders of Ascraeus fight a literal uphill battle into his kingdom, one that marks Sir Evan's life with love and loss in a way he will never forget..."

To add more detail to what I said above, at some future point I'm imagining that human beings deliberately change Mars to make it inhabitable. But then there comes a technological collapse after that, followed by a form of feudalism, as already alluded to. The technological past the people of my world call "The Time of Magic." Some genuine items of the past remain--one of my characters I describe as a "lithium smith" with the power to keep ancient battery-powered instruments operational. I also describe robots and handheld "ray guns" still existing in my story, though rare.

Swords that would be magical in pure fantasy are made of special alloys in this world. In my novella, I in fact make reference a to rider who bears a titanium sword.

I decided that the colonists of Mars made the atmospheric pressure about 2X that of Earth at Martian equivalent of sea level. That way on the highest mountain known to exist anywhere in the universe, Olympus Mons on Mars, atmospheric pressure would be about the equivalent of the top of Mount Everest (I studied atmospheric charts accounting for gravity to draw this conclusion). Which would make it breathable, but barely (Olympus Mons is roughly 25,000 meters--14 miles--higher than its base).

Since the atmosphere is denser in the lowlands and gravity is lower, truly enormous birds are possible, perhaps even big enough to ride on. I stated in my story that someone will genetically engineer Komodo dragons to give them wings and change them so they spit acid, making real dragons (though not intelligent ones thus far) actual inhabitants of this future Mars I've created.

The ranges of technology on the world vary. The Kingdom of Olympus is eager to try to re-establish space travel. Flying machines like zeppelins with sails as per some steampunk tales is a real technological possibility on the Mars I've made.

I've written a novella in this story universe. What I'd like to do is create an entire "Medieval Mars" anthology. Authors joining me with stories of their own would share a split of any profits the sale of the anthology would generate.

Authors interested in more details, please contact me at  BearPublicationsAnthology@outlook.com .

Readers interested in my purchasing my novella, please follow this link to where Medieval Mars is available for Kindle from Amazon.com.

I really enjoy my world concept and would love to share it. Hope you authors out there like it as much as I do. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. :)

7 Ways to Deal with the Problem Magic Poses Christian Fantasy Writers

First off, what is the problem with magic for Christians? Or sorcery? Or witchcraft? (Are all of those things even the same?) An entire book could be written on this topic (perhaps I'll do that someday) but to keep this as brief as possible, the short reason this is a problem is the Bible has nothing good to say about the practice of magic (neither does extra-Biblical Christian tradition). No translation of Scripture will record the 12 Disciples watching Jesus walk on the water and say, "Wow, that was magical!" Nor is the mana falling from heaven in Israel's wilderness wanderings described as some kind of powerful spell that Moses used, nor even is his rod described as "magic," even though Moses had the power granted to him by God to turn it into a serpent at whatever time he chose. No, the Bible describes events like these as "miracles," or "signs," or "wonders." On the other hand, when the Bible talks about "mag...

Speculative Fiction Writer’s Guide to War, part 19: War Costs: Soldiers’ Pay

The Travis’ are back with another installment of our series on Warfare. We’ve been analyzing a writer’s perspective on calculating the cost of war, developing some tools and thumbrules you might start with when calculating the cost of war in your story, and seeing how this mundane task can yield helpful ideas for your writing. At the very least, your effort to make your warfare come across as thoughtful and realistic (by your story world’s gauge of consistency) will be appreciated by the discerning uber-fans your serving.  Travis C here. Last time we left off with a detailed approach to calculating how much food both human and non-human fighters might consume and began a illustration using those calculations to gauge the financial impact of war in a fictional world. Our purpose wasn’t to delve into all possible fine details, but to give you an example where doing a bit of math can provide some values for you to work from. This week we’re going to dive into another significant expen...

The Why of Terraformed Worlds

The idea of terraforming nearby planets (or more distant ones) is well established in modern culture. Moreso than I knew. The linked Wikipedia article on "Terraforming in Popular Culture"  lists science fiction, movies, and video games that make reference to the idea. Some of the most important pioneering stories I was familiar with, including Robert Heinlein's  Farmer in the Sky  and Isaac Asimov's The Martian Way  (both of which I'd read). I had also heard about Kim Stanley Robinson 's Martian Trilogy ( Red Mars , Green Mars , and Blue Mars ). But I didn't know that there are at least 15 science fiction stories that feature terraforming, as well as at least 20 TV and movie references to it and over 30 video games in which terraforming is either a goal or a plot element. Those used to easy travel to other worlds in a lot of popular science fiction (which are often really a part of the sub-genre "Space Opera"), such as in both Star Wars and Sta...
