Shine Anthology
Jul. 21st, 2009 01:02 amI had a really good idea for a story to submit for the upcoming the Shine Anthology. You can read more about the anthology at http://shineanthology.wordpress.com/
The basic concept of the anthology is optimistic science fiction set in the next fifty years.
My idea involved the internet and something like twitter being used to resolve problems between nations by the people resolving the problems and deciding not to fight a war. And then the Iranian elections started going south and I felt weird writing about it.
Twitter changed how the world viewed those events. The deadline is coming up and so I decided to look at the idea again. At first I thought that it might cheapen the struggle of the recent events, but they didn't want their voices to be silence, so I am going to give it a try.
The worse that can happen is that it is tacky and I waste my own time.
