#PennedPossibilities 817
Does your universe have any autumnal traditions?

TBH I'm not ever sure about the axial tilt of the super-moon where most of the current WIP's action is set, much less the other worlds in the setting (which covers about 8000 star systems, a tiny corner of the settled extent of the Virgo Supercluster)!

It's incredulous grand-scale #SciFi author time, isn't it?

'What‽ People write fiction with only *one* planet in it‽'

'Does the entire ecosystem metamorphosing into alternate forms with low-energy metabolisms in preparation for the long hibernation as the highly elliptical orbit takes the planet into winter for 1,478 Terran years count as an "autumnal tradition"?'

'It's always Harvest Festival *somewhere* in the Interstellar Confederation.'

@cstross I misread this as “automated traditions” and I think you should work one into this story.
