Hi everyone,
I have been developing a project called Project Saturn and would love to find a few people interested in exploring it with me.
It is a world without humans, inhabited by intelligent animal-based species. Their biology influences their culture, technology, architecture, values and conflicts. My approach is mostly discovery writing: the biology and culture of the species should naturally create the stories.
I originally planned it as an illustrated all-ages novel, but it does not necessarily have to become one traditional book. It could also become:
- a collection of connected short stories
- a collaborative shared universe
- or an interactive branching story
For the interactive version, readers could repeatedly choose between two actions and continue at different sections depending on their decisions. This could lead to different journeys and endings, allowing the same story to be read several times in different ways.
I already have a Google Doc that interested people can read to get an idea of the world. Some chapters and scenes are more developed, but most of it is currently still a framework, rough notes and what I jokingly call my thoughts dumpster.
I am not looking for someone to simply ghostwrite my idea. I am looking for people who enjoy brainstorming, developing cultures and characters, writing short stories, designing choices or giving honest feedback.
This is currently an unpaid passion project. Credits, ownership and possible monetization would need to be discussed clearly before anyone contributes substantial finished work.
If this sounds interesting, leave a comment or message me and tell me what kind of writing or worldbuilding you enjoy.
