Project History
Etymology
I have decided to rename the project that this page is meant to serve as a means of coordinating from its previous, tentative title of When Worlds Collide to 'Project 'Crash Course'' not only because of how it is about worlds colliding with each other but also because it will be a kind of crash course in writing things meant for publication here on Shifti for me.
Inspiration and Origins
I was inspired to write this story after reading both a story named 'Catgirl' by Instant Kingdom user Zombie and several stories set in the 'MORFS' and FreeRIDErs universes. In Zombie's 'Catgirl', the main characters hide from pursuers in an old Japanese space station orbiting what they call 'Old Earth' due to the fact that it is humanity's ancestral home (there is, I believe, a 'New Earth' in this same setting,) on which it is rumored there exist artificial intelligences of some kind. That got me thinking: could that old Japanese space station be Tenkei, or 'Heaven's Blessing,' from the 'MORFS' universe, and could the mentioned artificial intelligences be RIDEs from FreeRIDErs? If this were true, then I concluded that somebody might write another story, placed in the past of Zombie's 'Catgirl', in which characters from the 'MORFS' and FreeRIDErs universe would meet somehow. Since I'm the one who came up with the idea in the first place, I thought that I might flesh it out into a full-fledged story. Even though I don't really have that much experience writing fiction, I'm going to give it my best shot!
