Sealion II

Expiration date
This blog was supposed to have one, but it passed a long time ago and I'm still here.

No wonder this whole thing smells a little fishy.

Today's dilemma: Too many worlds! One of my hobbies is inventing imaginary places, and I have recently found myself in the company of fellow world-inventors, most of whom seem to have a single pet project with which they hope to their fortunes as storytellers.

I'm not like that.

I have...let's see:

4 Dungeons and Dragons worlds: Uqbar, Noarth, (one without a name I like,) and Global Ravenloft.

3 different future Earths, plus 1 contemporary alternate Earth

1 inspired by George R.R. Martin
1 which is a science-fiction spinoff of Uqbar (above)

That's ten worlds. I can't write ten novels at once, that's ridiculous. (I can't write one, I don't have time.)

I don't suppose many of my readers have the same complaint, but if you do, how did you resolve your multi-world difficulties?

How many influential George Martins are trotting the globe?

I mean this globe.

You have correctly deduced that I (as one of your readers) have no other- (much less multi-) worldly difficulties, therefore I cannot advise you. If you were to ask about alternate universes, now . . .

Well, let's see. There's the "Fifth Beatle" George Martin, and George RR. I guess he just wanted to show that he, like John RR Tolkien, boasts an RR; one can never hew too closely to the Tolkien line as a fantasy author.

Tell me about your alternate universes, my fruitful friend.

I have worlds. They become conflated.
Lots of worlds. . .
But not exactly as you have described.
