Universe naming?

[wildph]

Hey all,

This is probably more a question for Fel, but I'm interested to see what people think.

In the pdf area on my iDisk, I've started separating the Sennadar and Faey stories, into "Sennadar, and Faey Universes".

Do we think this is a good idea? Have I got my naming wrong, would Fel prefer me to use another naming convention?

I thought about calling Jason & co the Subjugation Universe, but didn't think that right, as Subjugation is, to my mind, a self contained story in itself, set in a bigger universe.

In terms of other names, I guess Sennadar Universe could be exchanged for something involving planes, as in planes of existence". Faey could be galactic imperium or something.

Who knows, Fel could still pull a sly move and bridge the two - maybe the faey/subjugation suff is set in a minor corner of the bigger playfield in which Tarrin and the GoG inhabit.

Any thoughts?

I use The Subjugation Universe

Being as it was The Subjugation of earth that started this line of stories and
it does include more races then just the Faey


As for the Others they are Grouped in the "Firestaff collection" and The "Pyrosian Chronicles"
But over all i consider those to Both be Part of the "Sennadar Chronicles"
Or The "Saga's of Tarrin Kael"

Thanks for replying Phantom,

I think, until I hear something better, I'll stick with what I'm currently using - The Sennadar Universe, and the Faey Universe.

Don't take this as a flip answer, but as long as the categories work for you, does it matter??

[wildph]

Well, I guess it doesn't really matter, after all it's just a name, and it works for me.

Still, would be nice to know what usage is correct though.

Cheers

I use:

• Sennadar Universe - Firestaff Collection
  Sennadar Universe - Pyrosian Chronicles
  Sennadar Universe - Children of Kael (for Legacy - I know that Amara isn't actually a Kael child, but she is family. she represents the next generation, and on a more philosophical level she is the descendant of the world Tarrin created. Until Fel tells us what the correct universe naming is, it works for me. The future story about Jasana & Eron would also go in this category.)
  Faey Universe
  Other (for Dragon Star, Alpha Project)

I prefer not to name the universe after the Subjugation, because the actual subjugation was a mutable aspect of that universe, and was no longer present at the time of Legacy. Subjugations (aka military occupations, followed by civilian assimilations) have occurred in many other literary universes, as well as in our own real universe. I feel that it is the presence of the Faey, not the presence of a subjugation, that really separates that universe from our own. Just my own thoughts on the matter, I understand and accept that other people will have different opinions.

I use:

• Faey Universe

Maybe a Better Name for the subjugation series would be

"The Legacy of The Karinne "
"The Karinne Legacy "

Of something along those lines

Guess we'll just have to have Fel tell us his Fav.

"The Legacy of The Karinne "

I like that one. Its much better than the Faey Universe because, lets face it, the Faey, no matter how much they would like to, don't own the entire universe .

In line with this sort of thinking, "The Kael Tales" seems rather appropriate for Sennadar.

[Mizriath]

Hey,

If "Kael's Tales" applies, then the other should be

"Karrine's Tales".

......just being corny.

[wildph]

The problem I have with basing a name on Karinne or Kael, is that it restricts the universe to those groups, and narrows down the area in which Fel can write while being compatible with the universe naming.

From Subjugation, Fel can write in the far future, expand on an aspect of the ancient past, or even write about someone/thing in a dark distant corner of the universe. Karinne (or even Faey) don't have to exist. Likewise for Kael and Sennadar.

To my mind, the correct name would encompass a perpetual characteristic of each universe.

The naming doesn't have to be permanent. It can be changed at a later date if required.

How about 'Imperium Universe' or ' Tales of Man and Faey '
As the stories at present are revolving around the Imperium (of which the karinnes are a part) or the tales concern man and faey.

Just my 2¢
