#WordWeavers 2504.22 — Would your story work in a vastly different setting?
Hehehe.
I tell stories about characters with rather universal issues. The story is a plot line and transmogrified characters from an earlier work in a vastly different setting. Shhhh!

#PennedPossibilities 651 — Name one person that would willingly hold your MC back if they were ever in the “raving lunacy” stage of anger.
Mi and Mau, May Ri's twins Miriam and Maurine, do this for their mother in Mars Needed Women. The overwhelming rage they moderate is very reasonable for their mother to feel, but the emotion wrapped up in it could ruin what the woman needs to do about it. It's Mau who succeeds in averting Armageddon.
Streak Carryingaton starts Reluctant Moon by trying to stop Thorn Rose from doing something very much in her character but which common sense says she should not. It's the catalyst for the story. He fails in stopping her since she's the mission commander. At the end of the novel, it's him who tries to stop the main series antagonist who he knew intimately. It's his lot in life to moderate the women in his life.

"Octavia Butler, Grand Dame of Science Fiction" https://culturalgutter.com/2025/04/23/octavia-butler-grand-dame-of-science-fiction/ #ScienceFiction
A matched set of 3 new entries for the Historical #Dictionary of #ScienceFiction! For "earthport", "marsport", & "moonport", (usually capitalized as the name of) spaceports in those places. 1930s–.

https://sfdictionary.com/view/3030/marsport
https://sfdictionary.com/view/3028/moonport
"moonport" substantially antedates the OED entry; in passing I also found (and of course sent in) an antedating for the (non-SFnal) sense 'a place for launching rockets to the moon'.
