Originally posted by Skydiver View Postcan't disagree, however we're also dealing with a show that made a planet with a permanent light and dark side, which just isn't possible as they portrayed it....my interpretation? It's an alien planet. If the show writers can take liberties, so can fanfic authors.
SHe can even hang a lantern on it, they remark about how tides don't work this way, someone else replies 'it's an alien planet, they tend to operate by their own rules'
But it isn't possible to have tides like you've described, and I'm pretty sure happening upon something like that would be enough to pull a lot of readers right out of the story.Sum, ergo scribo...

I'm mainly curious really because John is a natural carrier but I always wondered whether his brother ever possessed the gene or not. But as there isn't all that much information about the ATA gene I'll probably make some slight changes and there'll probably be one or two things made up. But it's fanfiction so I guess we can stretch the truth a bit and make it fit.

What exactly do you mean by a "a strong natural strain" of the gene? Strains apply to bacteria and viruses, but genes don't really come in strains.Sum, ergo scribo...

You can however have mutated forms of genes. The double-muscle mutation in humans is an example - mutations in one or both copies of the gene responsible for myostatin produces people with muscular hypertrophy.Last edited by Sealurk; 26 January 2013, 04:21 PM.And now it's time for one last bow, like all your other selves.

Complicated? Sure, Impossible? No.
But it isn't possible to have tides like you've described, and I'm pretty sure happening upon something like that would be enough to pull a lot of readers right out of the story.
As to what pulls people out of stories....it varies from person to person. I'm bugged more by bad spelling, bad grammar, medical malpractice and stories that are so bogged down with intricate detail that they're a trial to read. (why I never read Doc's 'For God and Country'......too tedious, after a few pages I got tired of trying to wade through it and gave up.)
Obviously you feel very strongly about your opinions, so be it. I still feel that it's an alien planet and we can't presume that it'll act like earth, because it's not.
At the end of the day, it's Sara's story and her choice what she does with it. It'll be fun to see what she comes up with.

Physics really isn't a POV thing, Sky. The effects of tidal locking can be modeled mathematically, and have been. I have links if you want them.Sum, ergo scribo...
