NEW STORIES
The MAKE IT HAPPEN stories, especially those which play on other planets, found a way into my main work, the easy town books. They get a first mention in part three of book 3, shaping, and they frequently feature in the first part of book 4, building, which runs the subtitle: CAMPAIGNS FOR OUR FUTURE.
Because this part of the easy town story is so full of ideas for CAMPAIGNS FOR OUR FUTURE, I decided to publish an early version online and for free. Most chapters are already available on the easy town books website.
Now only the FINALE is missing. And what a finale it will be! It’s much more than I expected it to become which is why I am still in the middle of writing it. There is also extensive additional material, including brand new MAKE IT HAPPEN STORIES all of which will be published in a posting marathon of its own, with each of the final eight days stretched across three days of posting.
Among the upcoming MAKE IT HAPPEN STORIES are:
- It all starts with the body, planet 3
- The story of our planet is a tragedy of rejection, planet 404
- A world built on fear, planet 666
- When we stopped to escape, planet 777
- When we realised we were all sick, planet 987
- The end of power or The power of matching, planet 1111
- The year of the sheep, planet 1224
- The train worlds planet, planet 1236
- The conservationist and the visionary, planet 2412
- How mushrooms saved our planet, planet 3693
- The Historians, planet 4726
- The roots of sexual abuse, planet 6996
- The end of overpopulation, planet 8106
- How AI saved us and we gave it a great farewell party, planet 010101
- Planet of fools, planet 12345
- The end of conspiracy theorists, planet 12475
- The Fraud, planet 27163

MARATHON
When is the next MIHS marathon?
That’s partially up to you. I’m game and open to organise more MAKE IT HAPPEN STORIES marathons.
I can also imagine that such marathons would be a great addition for book festivals, for any conference or rally concerning our future, for universities and for city halls.
If you are intrigued, get in touch: contact@charlie-alice-raya.org
In any case I might organise another online MIHS marathon for November 2026.
Writing stories is a tool we can use to develop and illustrate visions, to test ideas, and to rethink and reshape our world.
