I’m making a Wiki for my Solarpunk/Lunarpunk universe
I’ve begun putting together a Wiki database of all of my Carbon Coast world-building elements, such as characters, settings, important events, etc. This will include spoilers and things that characters might not even know about, as it’s meant to be a complete knowledge database for anything related to my “universe”
I want to note, though, that my “universe” is all contained on Planet Earth and is set entirely on kind-of-near-future versions of modern day, real-world locations. So when I say “The Carbon Coast Universe” I mean “Solarpunk planet Earth in the near future.” The only real differences are the magic realism elements that we probably wouldn’t see to that degree in the near future, but are still kept to a fairly plausible degree on the suspension of disbelief scale.
What I’m saying is that, I’m doing what any author would love to do: build their own universe for fans to indulge in, but not in a way that takes away from the real, serious need for Solarpunk as a movement and as a story which can help imagine a real implementation of it without too much unrealistic daydreaming to get in the way and make people think it’s an impossible future that’s just a masturbatory fantasy.
Because it’s not. Go save the world. Authors like me are just trying to inspire you to do it with sparkly, dazzly fiction that excites you, but don’t wait for the book to go make Solarpunk future a real one!
p.s. So if you don’t want spoilers, don’t go looking for it just yet. Just know it’ll be there when you’re ready to learn more :)
