I would like to be the next Asimov or Clarke.
It is only a lot of literature caters to the lowest common denominator of shlock.
A case in point Sawyer, Atwood, and Huxley have received literary accolades anyone else would received obscenity charges and or hate speech charges in Australia.

"Hyperdrive" for FTL of Asimov's Trilogies is feasible within a NASA budget since it has been well documented in technical peer reviewed and professional sources how neutron flux upon an aperiodic quasi crystal or modulated phase crystal will cause it to oscillate beyond three dimensional space.
A lifting body spacecraft of Robert L. Morrison' s lighter than air solids sealed in foil propelled by a fissional fragment rocket engines could allow a spacecraft to have performance similar to what Asimov described in trilogies and in "Astounding".

Even "Star Wars" and Anime from Japan are both rip offs of Asimov's original stories in "Astounding".
Asimov's stories about hyperdrives to circumvent the flight barrier and megacities of flying cars are the best.
Asimov has been so helpful such as his "Bathroom Metaphor" an d an observation how one can not have intelligent life on small sale.
I've got a couple of questions:
1. What is the stance on reimaginings of Asimov's universe or characters? Suppose, for example, I wanted to portray Hari Seldon as a black woman instead of a white man? Would those kind of pictures be welcome here?

This question is a bit particular and I would say I can only decide case-by-case. I suppose I would accept, if the fact that he's represented in that way had a reason or made sense in some way. Anyway there is an "Asimov Inspired" folder, that is specifically made for non-canon creations that are still set in Asimov's universe or have some degree of affinity with it. I think that in most cases there would be no problem to accept different interpretations of canon characters in that folder, as long as the general idea of Asimov's universe is intact. (even crossovers can be accepted, if the Asimovian part is clearly recognizable)
