From the Fanfiction Writing Asks: 50, 58 & 76

Okay,

 #50, my writing style.  Let’s see if I get this right.  I think I am narrative in a 3rd person and past tense.  I used to write in 1st person and present tense, but that was my personal, never sharing, writings.  However, that being said, I do find when I am editing my works that I accidentally use 1st person/present tense here and there.  I hope this is what you were looking for in an answer. 

#58, off that top of my head, I can’t think of one.  I know I have written things that made me laugh when I worded it, but I would have to go back and find one.  One is coming to mind, but I need to go back and search for it.  I’ll get back to you on that one.

#76, They way I deal with writing pressure is done in two different ways.  I am the one putting the pressure on myself, so I have to remind myself to step back.  When I feel like I am stuck at a point in my story and just cannot figure out what to write, I will jump on Destiny2 and play to clear my head.  Another thing I do is try and work on another piece of writing that I put aside.  Now there are times that I just don’t write because I am stuck, so I do a lot of thinking.  Coming up with ideas for my story as playing them out in my head over and over.  It helps. 

Chapters 183 and 184 were the hardest chapters to write.  It was only supposed to be one chapter, but I had to break it up.  It took me almost two weeks to write it.  I was dreading it, I was procrastinating and finding any excuse not to do it.  I just didn’t want to say “goodbye”.  I did finally get it done, but it was a struggle. 

I really hope this is what you were looking for in my answers.  I tried to do the best I could.  Thank you for the asks!

do you guys think Karl Marx would've liked Thrift Shop by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis because it promotes waste reduction and the subversion of both capitalism generally and brand commodification¹ specifically through second hand buying or do you think he would not like it because it still promotes consumption as an activity especially of items one does not actually need.² or do you think he'd like it cause it's a banger³

What do you mean by Venus floating cities?

I'm hoping to write a science fiction story about visiting Venus as part of the space race and I would love your input

Alright so the thing with Venus is that we're all very familiar with her horrible hell-death clouds and 900°F surface temperatures. We all understand the surface of Venus is not a fun place for humans to be.

But, nobody ever talks about the fact that ABOVE the hell-death clouds, Venus is a paradise. The most Earth-like environment we know of in the solar system, beyond Earth itself, is actually in the skies of Venus.

About 30 miles above the surface, the pressure is ~1 atmosphere, and the temperature ranges from 30 - 100°F, which is Happy Human™ standard pressure and temperature.

What's more, a breathable mix of oxygen and nitrogen provides over 60% the lifting power on Venus that helium does on Earth. In other words, a balloon full of human-breathable air would float to the habitable range of Venus's atmosphere. We could float a ship with the very air we breathe.

The other great thing about this is that it avoids one of the big problems with Mars colonization. On Mars, any habitat on the surface full of breathable air is vulnerable to leaks and explosive decompression, a la the Martian.

Floating on Venus, a balloon full of breathable air doesn't have a significant pressure difference between the inside and the outside. Which means, any leaks or tears would be very slow and manageable. You could fix that shit with duct tape!

Similarly, because the environment outside the balloon is so Earth-like, humans living there wouldn't need any big fancy pressurized suits for extravehicular work. We'd need air to breathe, maybe some heat protection, and protection against the acid rain. That's it. 

Venus also provides the tools to keep us fed! It's atmosphere is made primarily of carbon dioxide, even above the dense horrible clouds. What likes carbon dioxide? Plants from Earth!! Lets grow FOOD on FLOATING PLATFORMS in the SKIES of VENUS.

This whole idea actually came out of a NASA effort exploring potential Venus colonization. The program was called HAVOC - the High Altitude Venus Operational Concept.

It hasn't really gone anywhere, and as far as I know there are no real plans to revisit it. Unfortunately, from a practicality standpoint, Mars is a much more viable target for human colonization. Not only is it better poised for outer solar system exploration, being farther away from the sun, but living on Venus would come with too many complicated contingencies. In the event of a major failure on Venus, you'd need to fly to another base, or fuck off all the way to orbit. I understand why people aren't really in a hurry to live somewhere where landing on the surface means certain death.

But that doesn't mean I won't be forever and always enamored by the skies of Venus. Here's one of the artist concepts to come out of HAVOC.

I want to be there.
