Commissioning Particle Physics Stories - Reminder · 10:54pm Dec 8th, 2019
A reminder that I am offering to commission pony stories inspired by particle physics. I am offering £25 ($32.84) per 1000 words for fics in some way connected to one of these topics:
Dark Matter
Neutrinos
Antimatter
Future Colliders
Cosmic Rays
For full details see this post: Commissioning Fanfiction for Science Communication – Inviting Pitches
If you are up for this challenge please pitch me an idea.
After an initial flurry I have received no more interest. This is partly my fault as I haven't been promoting the idea. To avoid this dragging on I propose a deadline of 15 December - so you have one week. All I want now is a short description to let me pick the best ideas. If I go with yours, we can agree a schedule for writing (no rush).
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or want to discuss an idea.
I did a report on particle accelerators when I was six. I should hop on this.
For what it's worth, I at least am interested enough that it's been on my mind more-or-less since you first posted – I just haven't had any bolts of inspiration for an idea worth writing, and I've been too busy to come up with any prompts the hard way. (Absent any epiphanies, I expect I'll have to reread through all your stories and blogs and do a bunch of external research on the topics before I come up with something fitting, and that will take a while.) Again, if you yourself have any ideas you want to test out having us write and/or if you end up with any abandoned pitches whose originators grant permission to pass them to other people, I'm up for giving writing them a shot.

I'll offer some possible story ideas tomorrow - like I did on my cosmic rays post.
