Alright, people;

In our most recent forum regarding this topic, it appears that most people want to go with the idea of a space exploration fiction. Totally different from war-centred, but could still involve conflicts, involving meeting the unknown, forming bonds with the known, and all sorts of fun stuff. As far as I can tell, it's like Star Trek but more advanced. That idea really interests me, and it appears it really interests everyone else; the space exploration idea had more votes than both the war ideas combined.

That's not to say we should neglect other ideas though. Nothing stops this idea of unknown realms being tied to the same lore as the Ultraterrestials or the Ayrai'Shikua (though we shouldn't make it too centred around them, if at all, if you ask me), nor does anything stop this from opening up all kinds of conflict.

I personally propose we don't make this an ongoing fiction, and that we do have a conclusion. Generally, fictions with good conclusions are a lot more memorable, and if we drag this out, people will lose interest, and it will go out with a whimper, and not a bang. I also propose we give this page the same layout we gave the original War of Ages pages. I detailed more in the other thread, but allowing people to add stories in a non-chronological way reduces barriers for entry and makes it feel more open, then there's no reason we can't sort them after.

But that's about it for my input. I'm going to need yours, now. Firstly, I think we should have at least a couple co-ordinators. The War of Ages had The Valader and Xhodocto3546 (what he was named back then :P), but I think we ought to have more. And there should be very little barrier for entry. There should not be too much control; the co-ordinators would just sort out the general structure of the storyline, which will be looser than most fictions. I think that involving any fiction in the plot should be possible, but creating a fiction found in this new unknown realm zone should not.

tl;dr: This thread is for discussing the specifics of a space exploration fiction. The specifics being what will be encountered, how everyone can get involved, and who should co-ordinate this. People can volunteer themselves. (Yes, I know that tl;dr covered things I did not mention in the post. Sh.)
