[2325] Celestial Backpacking
Hi everyone! Here is a completed first chapter of a sort of fantasy space opera thing I've been working on. Google Doc comments are turned on, and this bit includes the short "prologue" I posted a few days ago. I decided it would work better as one chapter.
Synopsis: The goddess of Earth, Erde, is left with a destroyed planet after the humans and all other life die out. She wallows, she ponders, etc. etc., and then decides to travel to her sister (the Goddess of the Sun) because being left with her ruined planet is too much to bear. After this chapter, she's gonna meander her merry little way along the planets, getting high with her solar system peers, having fun, healing emotionally and physically
All feedback good and bad is welcome, however, I would particularly appreciate:
- Description feedback. Too much? Not enough?
- Character feedback. Are Erde and Beohrta distinct and likable? Also, the Queen of Sol is a dark-skinned Black woman and I am white, so if anyone has any specific feedback on her description and characterization that would be especially helpful
Here is the story:
