So I've started turning some of my more outlandish musings into proper written things this year, with the help of Claude. I give it the detailed premise, we work through some side-quests, and it pulls it into a shape I can proof and publish.
The Timeline Nobody Followed - Loss, Stigma, and the McFly Family That Never Got Answers. A Back To The Future many-worlds thought experiment.
The Long Shot - A Biological Puzzle at the Heart of Known Space. An essay for Niven fans.
The High Price of Yesterday - A short story rooted in an 8yo's misconception about Daylight Savings Time.
The Convergence Problem - My first brief stab at 'hard' SF.
