Re: [FT] Space Vikings, Independent FT Uuniverses

***
This brings up the related question: What other independent (Non-Genre
(ie
Trek, B5, Galactica, SAAB, HH, SW), Non-Tuffleyverse Spinoff/Splinter)
universes are out there for FT? The only one I know of for sure is Kieth
Watt's Exodus Project.

If there's mre than 1 or 2, then perhaps an "Independent Universe" list
can
be added to one of the FAQs or to the WDA.

The problems with finding independent universes seem pretty much of two
kinds: most folks at least get direction from a particular bit of genre,
and sci-fi's been around long enough that no matter how original your
thinking appears, you'll get 'oh, you mean like...'

Some of the splinter/spinoffs seem to me to be more suitable for other
universes; a few in Three Roses and A Lion, others in L. Ron Hubbard
books.

Others could fit in several other universes. My own corporate wars idea
seems far beyond what's in Tuffeyverse, and is probably closer to what
you'd expect in the Aliens series, Moon 44, or to some extent, Outland.

If anyone decides to do a laissez faire gone bad, robber barons gone
monstrous universe, my sore-loser renegade Texaco Freetraders stand
ready
to spoil anybody's cash-flow. ;->=
