Alt history of artificial places

[tanaise]

Okay, so Geoff was talking to me about my story today, Blinding the Seasons. I have an ending that while ambigous, has the hope for a cure. He wants me to write the Cassandra's life, 50 years down the line with no cure. Which is not at all the story I was writing. but is fascinating. And I want to write it *too*. :-) not instead, in addition. And I don't know how I can write the same story twice with completely different endings. I mean, essentially my original story solves the problem. The other story would be an alt history of a made up world.

Well, Kim Stanley Robinson's Orange County trilogy is three alt. histories of a made up world, so it's been done.

You can do it!

You certainly can write the same story with a different take. I have seen it done at least once. The problem would be selling both of them.

Heya Red....this is about the only way I could figure out to contact you. Sorry, it's not too germane to the subject, but I just wanted to say hi. 'S'been a while, no?

Ah! Tom, that's not your address, you bastard. And none of the others work either! Write to me. Both my yahoo and my earthlink addresses work. And I'm actually in MI right now. :)
