In every story, whether it is your own or someone else, there are possible what-if questions and scenarios that could have happened and changed the entirety of the story. So, tell me, what are the ones in your own stories? Do you have any?
I wanna chat about it in depth. I want to know what your what-if question scenarios are and more. I can ask you about your own and you can ask somethings about mine.
In my story that I still havenât gotten to yet, I have a few what-if question scenario for my story that fill my mind a bit.
Here they are:
What-if Rennaâs mother never met her father and her father ended up marrying his lordâs eldest daughter?
What-if Renna hatred towards the gods is misguided because of her divine mother and her possible ignorance?
What-if Renna wasnât reborn as the Sovereignâs daughter, but instead never died in the war?
What-if the war that claimed Rennaâs life and turned her people into the beings that the world fears and hates, only happened because of Rennaâs ties to her mother, Nirvana?
What-if Isilynor (Renna reborn) became the Sovereign and decided to in the end break the system?
What if Essingvaux, Lord of the Dragons does not return? Will the Endurlon be fulfilled? Have the peoples of Arillion prepared for nothing? And will Temulkar succeed in total dominance over all the realms of Arillion?
But most of all⊠Just who is Batman? It canât be the wimpy, and a total wet lettuce Bruce Wayne⊠Can it???
My book takes place over the course of one night, as a condemned prisoner tells his life story to a friar while awaiting the guillotine. If the nearby volcano didnât erupt that night, heâd go to his death first thing in the morning, but since it does erupt, burying the entire city under tons of ash, heâs able to escape from the tower and go on to star in the next book. (>âżâ )
Yeah, that can happen. The internet doesnât feel the same as it did years ago sometimes.
Back to your what-if question, what does ASC stand for and why was is it in a sense a bit necessary for WW3 to start? What problems arise from the WW3âs aftermath? What changed and/or stayed the same for humanity around and after the third world war?
WW3 was started by AI as a means of global self-preservation (âHumanity governing itself leads to it being a threat to us, nature, and their ownâ) but they never intended to destroy the human race but to PROTECT it, by destroying every other government and establishing AI governments everywhere
They lost, but they were able to remain as a governing body, however, part of the treaty of peace involved forced enviromentalism on all countries, so that helped
For my story, the âwhat ifsâ that come to mind are:
What if Alma didnât have technological singularity? Would synthetics have still been produced and what sort of story would I write in the same universe if he wasnât the main character?
What if he was the only synthetic that ever had singularity? He would be alone as the only one of his kind who could feel and think for himself. What would that lead him to do?
What if the world in my book was less dystopian and the horizon project wasnât needed to save the human race from themselves? What story would unfold on earth instead of in the stars?
What if Dr. Graves wasnât⊠Well⊠The way he is, and what if he didnât torture Alma and try to find a way to replicate his singularity and control it? Would Alma have the same trust issues? Who or what would be the antagonist/conflict in the story then?
What if Dr. Graves succeeded in replicating technological singlularity and was able to create more synthetics that could think and feel for themselves? Would they still be marketed like he wanted, or would the project be shut down?
