Talk:How the rebelion will live on

Proposing a change of plan in light of extraordinary events.

* RoM needs to expand beyond Storywars.
The Storywars (SW) site apparently will not be shut down for lack of funding, but the two shock waves ( the original owner's departure and the current owner's retracted decision to shut the site down) have accelerated the loss of contributors. Arguably, SW outgrew the ability of volunteers to keep the collaborative chapter voting scheme going many years ago. This has severely impacted the continuing development of the Rebellion on Mars universe, since each story requires about 14 chapter draft submissions to finish up. (Only one story in the RoM universe has done so, and it required some aggressive draftbegging to make it happen.)

PROPOSED: RoM should try other collaborative writing sites for future story development to regain its momentum.

* The original stories on Storywars have been backed up, and can be migrated to new sites as time allows.
As part of the urgent rush to save the SW archives, all of the stories written on Storywars were backed up to a Google Drive folder, which can be viewed at http://bit.ly/RoM-Public-2Oa4gxb. ''As noted, only one of these stories is complete!"

All of the stories are in the public domain, as the authors on the Storywars site agreed to a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution License ( CC0-BY). Attribution is included by Storywars user account name in the PDF record for each chapter.

PROPOSED: Existing incomplete RoM stories should be migrated to other collaborative writing sites as volunteer time allows. Completed stories that define the RoM universe canon should be added to the wiki as separate pages.
