-Science Adventure is a genre term for fiction I am coining for my own personal use. It is directly inspired by the game franchise of Nitroplus, as described here: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_Adventure|Science Adventure Franchise]]. I first encountered the concept in an anime called Steins;Gate which is based on the game of the same name from Nitroplus. Steins;Gate is described by its creators as a "hypothetical science adventure game" which I feel is pretty accurate, but falls quite short on what Science Adventure implies as I see it. I was puzzled at first on how to define what I mean by the term, but then a show called [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farscape|Farscape]] rescued me.+Science Adventure is a genre term for fiction I am coining for my own personal use.

-Alright, looks good. Fulcrum is the central idea that interacts with everything that orbits it. What is that while line that orbits it?

Fulcrum is the central idea that interacts with everything that orbits it. What is that while line that orbits it? The moments where the fulcrum and concepts interact to create dramatic situations in play, Crises. Each of these a dot somewhere on that line that is a specific moment of intense instability that leads to decisive change in the fiction. In the TV show Farscape, the Fulcrum would clearly be "The implications of wormhole technology". When Scorpius learns that John Crichton has  such knowledge locked into his brain and captures him, that is a Crises in this sense.
