first immediate thought: Arsia is a terrible name for a city and Olympus Mons is only called Olympus Mons because it's a mountain and not because Mons should be a martian naming convention.
On finishing I guess it's in a mountain but I stand by being put off by a city named ass mountain
This community has a recurring interest in "rationalist fiction," and several members who are writers. I wonder if it would be useful to create a space where Less Wrong members could provide each other constructive criticism and encouragement on in-progress original writing projects?
Disclosure: I'm working on a sci-fi novel right now, and my regular circle of "beta readers" are fantasy fans and aren't providing much feedback on the new project. I am much, much more productive as a writer when I get steady feedback, so I have a personal interest in looking for something like this. Less Wrong came to mind as a community of intelligent, creative, forward-looking types who are likely to enjoy sci-fi.
