Love this. Brought up ideas I haven't thought of, like the succession crisis (since we know that space Indonesia isn't going to be monarchy) and the spy intrigue.
And I definitely second writing flash fiction "side stories" set in this universe. I think we're at the point where the universe is concrete enough that it's best to actually just write stories and see how everything develops. If you're not sure that what you have fits, you can always shoot me an email and we can work from there.
I don't know if we'd be putting the stories here or in our respective Substacks. If the latter, I can always make a post that links all the stories like The Chronicler (I think it's her) does with the Suff. I'm fine either way.
Let's put the flash fiction stories here, maybe a new section called "Bima Sakti Tours" or something otherwise clever. Then when we start 'novelizing' in earnest, we can have another section to release parts of it. Just keeps it all under one roof! But Cross-promo seems like a good idea for visibility!
Just putting a bug in your ear with a statement in principle: I'm getting my writing life organized, I plan to write 500 word slice-o-lifes while I build up my sense of the world, and will hopefully build up to a longer dedicated piece of flash fiction. The 500 word slices will come out twice a month, and i'll work on a schedule to get them reviewed by you before publication for canonicity. Hows that sound?

Sounds good. We'll definitely want to be doing some cross-posting to spread the word.

Sounds good. You're a lifesaver!
