Day 01.1

Late day update.. I've been playing around with the timeline for block 1. Well, maybe that isn't the best way to start an update.. Here I should outline how things are going to progress here at SH.

Blocks.


Blocks are sections of the timeline that the story will be advancing through. Think of these as seasons on a television show. The current block is the one that the SH Dev Team is putting the most effort into refining at the current time. We are more than likely going to do these chronologically as best we can, but gaps may be left in the timeline or separate timelines may begin to exist. Such is the nature of science fiction.

Participation


Well, this is where it gets fun. In the coming weeks we will be opening a forum for SH where authors can begin to post their stories, art, general ideas, etc... This is going to include a lot of refining how we use the Creative Commons license to all of our advantage. As SH is covered by a share alike license that means that any works you make must be covered by a CC license as well, and we want to make obtaining that license as easy for our creator/community as we can. We here at SH believe this license is the key to making a true community experience out of this, and with the ideas for flash based apps to fuel this site coming fast and furious I can only hope we bust out of a typical forum role-playing site and into something great.

Well I hope that helps people see a little bit of where we are coming from and where we are going with this. Block 1 is in final revisions and should be released in the coming days so that you can all get a glimpse of where we are going. Also you can expect the first short story written within the SH world within the month. I am personally writing this piece entitled, "Splintered Humanity: The Hand of God." Stay tuned!
