Board Thread:Fiction Universe Discussion/@comment-3332586-20140816132650

So, currently as of 8/16/2014, the Fiction Universe has only 1 galaxy that anyone can create fiction for: The Milky Way. To be blunt, that just doesn't seem very healthy. I'm not going to ask anyone to allow others to freely use their galaxies, but I do propose at least 1 new galaxy be added with a fundamental rule of being free for all users to create fiction in.

I rather hope that this will work towards ending some of the conflict on the wiki. I'm sure I'm not the first to think that because "older users" have galaxies they specifically own and that they absolutely control they are special. If more galaxies were created for all users to share (rather than solely the Milky Way) I feel it would go a decent way towards ending the Old v/s New feeling I've seen on the wiki. Besides that, more galaxies that everyone can share would create more places for fictions to encounter each other and thus more collaborative fictions on the wiki.

The only real flaw I see in this idea is that it would more or less reverse the primary goal of the Annihilation Cleanslate, which was to remove all but 1-2 galaxies to force people to put their fiction into the same galaxies or write new fiction (and we know how that turned out).

With regards to galaxies, I think that they should be rather unique galaxies, not ordinary galaxies like Spirals. Here's the galaxies I propose:

[|Black Eye Galaxy]/Black Band Galaxy - A smaller galaxy (aprox 200-300 bil stars) with a dense region of nebula and dust clouds in the inner 1/3rd of the galaxy, making safe core travel almost impossible. The outer 2/3rds of the galaxy are similar to normal spiral galaxies, but still have more dust and planets than average galaxies.

Whirlpool Galaxy/Child Galaxy - A galaxy notable for its very distinct whirlpool shape and a satellite galaxy that orbits just touching the outermost arms of the main galaxy, Whirpool is also called the Child Galaxy due to a massive Supernova that crippled most civilizations on the far side from the satellite galaxy around 2000 years ago. This event is rumored to have been artificial, since it happened to a yellow supergiant. Star Count: 1.3 trillion

Tadpole/Long-Tail Galaxy - A galaxy with a distinctive long, thin tail stretching out from it, the Long-Tail Galaxy has a star count of roughly 600 bil, but almost half of them are in the tail. This galaxy has several large dust clouds thought to have originated during the near-collision with another galaxy that created its distinctive tail.

If anyone has thoughts on this, suggestions as to better galaxies to use, or reasons (logical ones preferably) not to allow the addition of at least 1 new galaxy that's only rule is "free for all users" due state them. I love constructive criticism. This said, please do not argue about whether there are actually conflicts or factions on the wiki, that's not what this is about. Thanks!
