Only Earwig issue is a quote. History6042😊 (Contact me) 19:29, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Could a similarities section be added where it mentions any similar things from other media? History6042😊 (Contact me) 22:31, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Interesting, I hadn't thought of that. Sort of FTL drives that differ from the impulse/warp model, which are kind of common tropes now under many science fiction media? I like that idea.

Would we need initial WP:RS that binds us into starting the comparison, or that invoke the spore drive and thus the comparison off that? I think that could be possible, I still have sections of that book of academic essays to get through. -- Very Polite Person (talk) 00:08, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

I would say the second option of invoking the spore drive would be fine, thank you for your swift response to my comments. History6042😊 (Contact me) 00:16, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

Well, it turned out to actually be a bit of slim pickings, but there aren't (by memory and searching) that many other even reasonably well-known organic-based FTL concepts in fiction (or I just don't know about them).

What do you think? Edits here. -- Very Polite Person (talk) 19:44, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
