Well, if you insist, I challenge you to draw a Topopolis ;) it's a rotating habitat with a similar diameter to an O'Neal Cylinder but as long as a planet's orbit, if not longer. It's also the setting of the novel "Heaven's River" from the Bobiverse books by Dennis E. Taylor if you need a specific point of inspiration.

Have you read any Nnedi Okorafor stuff? Would be cool to see your vision of binti universe

Is there a discriptive paragraph? from your description is it a donut shape?

mark light

Is v African so I found it v fresh in sci-fi. Also check out her twitter she is a freak for unusual insects :)

Yes, it's torus-shaped, albeit this is an incredibly large torus with a miniscule width in comparison to its total size. The habitable zone lies on the inner wall of the donut which spins to simulate gravity. The 'trick' behind the Topopolis is that any material, no matter how hard, behaves like a flexible rope if you extend it for a long enough distance. So try to imagine a long, long rope which is constantly twisting, and now connect the two ends of the rope so you get a thin 'twisting' donut. Hope that makes some sense ^_^;

makes sense. ill have to do the image showing a door or window into the interior otherwise it wont look like much; a coil on black. totally buildable tho

Arturo Gutierrez

Yeah, or you could also depict it from the inside to show it's seemingly infinite length. A Topopolis looks a lot like an O'Neil Cylinder that never ends. It's outer curvature is so subtle that people on the inside would be forgiven to think it's perfectly straight (similar to how Earth "looks" flat from the ground)
