The best way to make a new race for Invasion!, I think, would be for you to copy one of the existing races. Before writing anything, make sure you are familiar with the Format Rules for the site. The next step would be to edit the Invading Species section of the Invasion! main page. Copy one of the entries, and change it to fit your new species. Next, copy the profile page of one of the races IN EDIT MODE; then go back to the first page of Invasion!, click on your race's profile link, paste into the blank page that shows up, change the information to fit your race, then save the changes. If you get too lost, I'll be glad to help. Once you have the profile done, the next part is to start the story. The most challenging part would be to format the template I think. There is a sample in the Invasion!/Rules page that should give you a starting point. If you need more help, let me know. --Elerneron (talk) 02:18, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Anyone born on a planet is a resident of that planet, and therefore cannot be considered an alien (if you're born somewhere you aren't an alien after all). In that way, your race would not be violating the law against having more than five of their people on Earth . . . because those people aren't their people but Earthlings . . . albient non-human Earthlings. --Elerneron (talk) 02:51, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Honestly, "Invasion!" is not a concept that has grabbed my attention all that well. Normally I would consider helping a little for the sake of helping another writer, but my plate is a little full right now to the point I'm already pushing off some of the concepts I actually AM interested in. ... hmmm... I might consider giving the story a read-over if I come up with the time between the normal projects. I'm currently planning on hitting my new story, "WBWP," posting in some RPs, and then trying again to do some coding work on "The Lewd House." After I have done all that I might try to take a look.

FYI: I only really accept 1 request per list of options at a time, maybe 2 on rare occasions. If you go down selecting an entire list down the line, I just don't respond to it. The purpose of requests is to give me a direction to start from, a direction that will please the fans most. Just selecting down the entire list kinda defeats the purpose of that. (Plus, I have some mild autism, so it actually does overload my brain and literally makes me unable to process it.) Jemini (talk) 03:29, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. My autistic brain is comfortable with this now. I will probably respond to people who have only one item on their list first, but I will begin work on your requests soon once I get a decent block of time to work. Jemini (talk) 03:02, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your request, I'll try to fulfill it. One thing I'm very bad at are names, so I'm still not satisfied with the names of the Winterkin pack. Could you offer some suggestions? --Tod Naturlich (talk) 23:58, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

That's how sci-fi works I'm afraid. If you try to create something that is a sci-fi creature, hard sci-fi fans such as myself who have some understanding of biology, engineering, quantum physics, or some other relevant area of study will come out of the wood-work and point out how your creation would work in the real world under the principals of the discipline which they understand. Also, I am not trying to impose my world-view on you or turn your species straight. They can be completely gay if you want them to be, but I am pointing out that reproduction via anal sex will only work within the species using the justification you came up with. It will not work, at least not well, for inter-species reproduction. If you would re-read the passage I wrote, I did acknowledge what you were trying to do and pointed out the areas and conditions under which it would work. I have medical knowledge, and I know a fair amount about the human immune system and how the human body fights off infection from bacterial,viral, and fungal agents, and the human anus is simply hostile to the extreme to any and all forms of fungus. It is highly efficient at fighting off fungal infection. The only way your speicies can reproduce anally is with other members of their own species who presumably have adapted their colons to function for reproductive purposes. (This was why I stated in my first post that you should have a good understanding of how the system works naturally before you try to write your own new rules.)

FOLLOW-UP: Really, it's nothing against you, and it is seriously none of the things you are accusing me of. I have already told you I am somewhat autistic. For me, the world is organized according to certain rules, and it is fairly difficult to accept sci-fi that is not of the "hard" sci-fi persuasion. This goes double due to the fact that the other species Elerneron created were very well thought out and fit in the "hard" denomination of sci-fi. Your species, however, seems to be less about thinking about what is possible within the realm of hard sci-fi as a way a species could exist that is interesting, and more about just wish fulfillment with no reference to any of the laws of physics, and showing no understanding of how fairly basic biology works that any 1st-year med student would know. This is supposed to be an RP about aliens interbreeding with earth life, and you have designed a species that is incapable of interbreeding with earth-life. It can only breed with its own kind if you were to keep to the biology realistic, and failure to keep the biology realistic is something that makes me cringe to the point that I would consider any work based on such a lack of knowledge unreadable.
