I am SO INTRIGUED by the Supernova Initiative!!!! Is there any tag-list for this wip?? Or can I just ask about what inspired this idea?

--CakeintheVoid

Thank you, @cakeinthevoid/@cauliflowermaterial! 💕I'm so glad to hear you're intrigued about my WIP!!!!!

Currently, I am in the final stages of outlining this WIP and plan to start working officially on the first chapters around this week and the next! There will be a taglist then and I'll make sure to add you to it if you'd like, let me know in the replies of this post! I'll also be making a WIP Intro for this story in the coming days so keep an eye out for that!

As for what inspired it, it's a bit of a chaotic answer but I'll try my best to explain it: I've always loved science fiction, especially space opera (Star Wars, Star Trek, Guardians of The Galaxy, Voltron, etc, that's my jam!) and space exploration/adventure, so I've always wanted to write my own story like that one day! That's one of the reasons I came up with Supernova Initiative, there's more.

I had also been wanting to write a heist story, in the style of Bad Guys or Six of Crows, with a crew of morally grey but good-hearted outcasts doing wrong things for the right reasons. I also love stories about outlaws forming a found family and rebelling against an oppressive or corrupt system by breaking the rules. That is also super cool! So here we have reason/inspiration number 2!

I'm also a huge fan of futuristic/cyberpunk settings, especially when set in deep space, and dystopic high-tech societies that seem perfect but are actually hiding terrible dark secrets. I also wanted something to give my story a unique twist, so I started brainstorming and came up with a feel of the core themes this book will cover and the MCs will have to deal with/fight against - illegal human experimentation/bioengineering mad scientists, corruption within a powerful interplanetary system, government secrets in a high tech setting, and more!

I've also added cyborgs and humanoid aliens to the main cast just for some more fun!

Again I am so glad you are curious about my WIP - feel free to ask as many questions about it (wherever you want! my askbox/inbox are always open!) as you want! I love any opportunity to ramble about my WIPs and Supernova Initiative is one of my favorites!

Writing Share Tag!!!

Thanks for the tag, @cowboybrunch (here)! <3

"What are you doing out here?" Cassiopeia stood by the metal staircase leading to the glass-domed hangar of the ship, at the center of which Meridian was sitting, staring through it at the starry cosmos above and around them in wonder.

The robot replied, dejected, but not tearing their eyes away from the sight before them, "Couldn't sleep."

Cassie began walking down the stairs, her fluffy slippers squeaking on the smooth floor, and cocked an eyebrow at the robot's peculiar answer, "... Do sentient robots sleep?" She asked, hesitantly, as if afraid to come across as rude or ignorant, "I didn't know that."

Meridian hummed, a whirring, metallic sound that somewhat sounded like a kitten's purr, "Not really. A robot can turn itself - uh" The robot stopped himself at the slip up, looking at their hands for a moment, shaking their head, before correcting the mistake "-themself off like a computer or a machine. But its not really like human sleeping. Lately I've been trying because, maybe, with some practice, I can learn to sleep the human way. I'd like that."

From where she was standing, coming ever closer to her friend, she noticed the robot's sheepish, slightly hopeless smile as they declared the forlorn, guileless plan they intended to put into practice. The sheer sadness of what this meant took her off guard, so much so that, for a moment, Cassie didn't know what to say.

She sat down beside them, shaking her mind back to the present and gave them a kind smile in return, "Well... trying is a good start!" The girl began, looking up at the stars as well as she wrung her hands anxiously. A thought crossed her mind, and she voiced it out loud, "Hm. Maybe I could research some ways to rewire your systems, safely, so we can figure out together a way to help you do human stuff like sleeping." She chewed on her lip, "If you'd like my help."

At that, Meridian gasped, finally looking at her, eyes practically glowing with happiness, "Oh. For real? You... you really think it could work?" Their voice, albeit synthetic and mechanic, was filled with the most hope and wonder she'd ever heard in her life.

She couldn't help but feel the same as she answered, "Well, only one way to find out!" The young inventor said with a bright, optimistic smile. If she was being completely honest, she didn't actually know if it could be done - but she was certainly going to try.
