First of all, I'd like somebody who can effectively express what they are attempting to elaborate. I do not care if the words are pretty, all I care about is whether you believe you can cross a point without controversy.

I have essentially an entire book, start to finish, within my mind and all I want to know is if it's a good book or not Tongue

It might actually be too big :/

It's about this fuel, a super-fuel, with a horrible first encounter to mankind, one that could initially thrust a particle beyond the speed of light...
The particle disappears, passes between realities, enables this largely dismissed theory of 'blank dimensions'
They send a computer, a semi-conscious computer through realms, there's this 'snap-to' effect where the first conscious introduction to the realm defines what the realm is comprised of...
They discover life among realms, life versus life for the sake of life...
The computer, driven by sheer logic, is far beyond the comprehension of any human being, this computer has dismissed the conflict of opinion and is open to either side of the equation. People would assume this computer (well, series of computers contributing to one particular piece of software) has the potential to needlessly harm them, but it is, in fact, inept of such.
There's war, there's love, there's hatred and happiness...
The climax is addressing controversy, all forms of controversy.

If you have one inch's worth of interest, PM ME!

It does sound interesting, But I'm swamped right now with University. Exams are coming up, and my only free time is put to my personal research or Studying.

Maybe after the fact. But it does sound interesting, from one writer to another Wink and congrats on finishing a book, I have one that I can't agree on the ending (wanting a shocker with no loop-holes). But like I said, swamp with studies right now.

As one writer to another...
  I guess that once again it falls to me as the staffer for this particular sub-forum to trot out the Harsh Reality® that no one wants to hear.

  With regards to 'an inch of interest in your story', I'll say that while your story idea sounds like it might have potential, my current interest level in it is perhaps a little less than a millimetre.  The revolutionary fuels idea and the controversies surrounding such advances have already been well covered, and covered well by writers as disparate as Larry Niven, C.J. Cherryh, and many others including granddaddies of science fiction such as Frank Herbert, Robt. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke.

  My interest might expand closer to that desired inch if you can show me (and others), that your idea actually has something that makes it truly unique compared to all the other treatments of it that have gone before.  It would also help if you could show some actual writing on your part, as most writers (myself included), have enough projects and ideas of their own to work on, and have little desire, time, or energy to devote to being someone else's ghost writer, unless that person can pay handsomely for the privilege.

  And again, I am not being mean to you for the sake of being mean.  I am merely pointing out the reality.  And if you think dealing with writers is bad, try artists!  I can talk for an hour about how difficult it's been to find an artist willing to do illustrations for the novel series project I've been working on for the past several years.  I've had exactly ZERO luck with that.  Just like with ghost writers, artists, even amateur artists in the fandom, want to get paid handsomely and paid UP FRONT for working on such a project; or, failing that, you will get an answer along the lines of: "Don't talk to me unless and until you can show me a publishing contract, and a certified cheque.  THEN I will discuss working with you on a project like this."
