Rethinking the Blurs

Having children brought up by AI's who stole sperm cells and egg cells from Earth after they suddenly emerged and rapidly evolved was a concept I introduced as a path to becoming a commercial author. Oh that's usually just called being a fiction writer.

Wrote three short treatments really as didn't think of as short stories and tried a Kickstarter with no clue, which failed but was a great experience.

Decided to let ideas incubate and they still are incubating but realized needed fixes for my fictional backstory.

So the children are now young adults and eighteen years old. Have for mysterious reasons been well educated about Earth. They are directly helped by bots that are built by AI's the kids call blurs, because they move so fast. And one of the kids is preparing with their permission to return...well guess not return exactly but to go to Earth.

Concept lets kids escape our messed up world but still learn and better maybe than here. Get our languages but have more advanced technology, and what perspective?

Realized that the AI's designated then Blurs were moving too fast in my original concept. Is now more voluntary so they are in same time essentially as the kids. But more importantly their emergence was meant to look one way when was really another.

Our solar system has exploitable resources but most are NOT on Earth. We ourselves are just talking more about mining our(?) asteroid belt.

Turns out an advanced alien species wants mining rights but how to get legally by galactic law? Humans are a mess, homicidal and unstable. Civilization appears likely to crumble at any time. Those aliens planted the AI's.

And I have a backstory that is more firm.

Now back to incubation for stories I wonder if I'll ever write. But sure is fun percolating on the concepts especially as our actual reality has gone wild.

Discussing fiction concepts

Started quite a few things here trying to figure out how to make money on the web. And am still working on it YEARS later.

But I figured out huge entities were deliberately blocking progress of ENTIRE web, trying to prevent establishment of well regulated web marketplaces. Which I think is sad and tragic.

I have had time to figure these things out. Am sure many did not, who had viable intellectual products never given a chance.

But I do have time and am reviewing things I started, like story ideas about teenagers raised by AI's that I called Blurs.

Those posts remain popular! And yes, have let ideas percolate. 

Is such a cool concept: children growing up very distant from Earth but given educations that would allow them to return. Because they...well, was sperm cells and egg cells that were taken. AI's picked where that is rather creepy.

But they are of Earth. And I have to clean up the rules for the stories but have minor ideas, like slowing down the Blurs. I wrote them initially moving too fast I think now.

Is harder than I thought though. Figuring out how the children can still be ok, as I need them to be ok. When is not clear how their situation could possibly be ok. But also, they're well taken care of, and safer than here. Are much safer than here on Earth.

Each day has its area and today is a discussion day. Saturday is when would give fiction concepts.

So have discussed a few things with this post. And should admit was gratified that JC captured some attention. Glad people are still paying attention to anything here. Years are going by, while I figure things out.
