Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction"
(both original and fanfiction) where you can search
across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and
get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent
projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
"This material was found scattered in tiny, almost microscopic, amounts over half the surface of Mars after the Pathfinder Detonation Event. It defied normal chemical analysis, and all other standard techniques, giving completely ridiculous results such as having impossible physical properties, and so on. But we finally worked out that it's something analogous to a clathrate, only consisting of dark matter bound into a matrix with normal matter to the point that it will interact with the rest of the universe."
"What's a clathrate?" one of the visitors asked.
"It's a chemical compound formed of one substance that makes something like a three dimensional lattice which traps another one that wouldn't normally bond with it," Amanda replied from behind the small group and making them all turn to look at her. "The most common form of such a thing is a clathrate hydrate, such as what's commonly known as methane ice. It forms at low temperatures under high pressure in the presence of methane, such as under the ocean in very cold water. It used to be mined for the gas until fusion was perfected."
