I recently summit the baseline requirements or idea's around a Scifi story that would build on The Universe of River World, that fact is the story may be more fan fiction then Scifi but the fact is the story is in fact Scifi and like many stories are mostly hard to arrange around.

River World information can found on Wikipedia, and one of the strongest facts about it is no person on River world is younger then 18, or older then 35. And person's with in River World are living a second / third life. It is hard to consider or suggest what River World really is. It is basically a life after death, That was created by Aliens, and the story matter or subject, of the story is one of consideration that needs to be taken, if the story is approved I will need other writers to write for it.

River World is a world for which there is no sickness or Disease, and people are pretty much left to do what they want. All thou the River World is much like a Dream state is hard to explain. But if someone on River world dies they are brought back to life between 1 hour and 100 years from the point they died, which is to suggest there is really no life and the reason I suggested that the life is one of a third life, because of the renewing of ones soul or spirit in the world. Thou the renewing is more of a new body, it is not greatly explained in the main stories by the original works which means there is a lot of stuff the writers can take liberties with. And I was really shocked to find that no one else had tried to summit a River World story or Starter in attempts to get Writers.

I write under the name Mazer, because I had wrote on Chyoo before I made an account on these forums or with Literotica I was unable to have the same name in both places. Please be aware of this thanks, other then that I look forward to finding other writers who might wish to build there own empire with in river world filled with famous people and or warriors or death and destruction the sky is the limit thou, one could say there are other limitations put on the story like a lack of resources beyond some kinds of materials thou if the writers decide to include other materials and so on it could be suggested the planet is able to renew them much like it does the tree's and the water and the lives of all the people on the planet as they die.
 
Hi

I've read some of the Riverworld books including the one made up of short stories by authors other than Jose Farmer. Saw the film too, but confess that was pretty naff. Thought myself that it would make a good base for a CHYOO story.

How were you thinking of setting the story out? Would you explain about grails, the ratio of resurrected at each stone and the river in the first thread and how closely would you expect contributors to stick to the original?

Could be a quite dark fantasy world, I think in the books it is mentioned that with everyone who ever lived being resurrected that slavery in various forms has existed probably more often than not throughout human history and the practice pops up quite frequently.

Would your story be starting on day one with the characters waking naked on the river bank with only a grail along with the rest of humanity or some time after when kingdoms and empires have been established?

I just felt that the story could make for a great chyoo story and I tried my best to make an explanation to explain it but if for some reason once the story is approved I would be willing to alter the first page to fit whatever suggested format another person might like to help explain it in a more ordered fashion. As for the limitations the fact is the idea behind the story and so on is simply one of just trying to figure it out. And it would and will take team work to work it out as a whole. I am just happy someone responded to the idea, and the story is still mostly waiting to be approved.
