The basic structural elements of future writing

Fast-paced storytelling
This is where things happen. Cars crash, people die, people win or lose elections, all in a matter of a sentence or a small paragraph. Some important events might need detailed explanation, otherwise it's equivalent to those scenes in movies that show the passage of time and seasons. Time passes, slowly at first, and then rapidly.

Dialogue
Characters talking. To one another, the reader, or to themselves.

Big picture politics
Go into the backstory and explain how certain things ended certain way, and what large forces would shape it in the future. The 'On Chandradev' post (literally the previous post) is an example of this.

Introspection/character-study
A character can be a living or non living being. Involves the omniscient narrator describing the character, or the characters thinking to themselves in a way that's revealing about their personalities. It's directly related to either events at hand, or the character building has to end up relevant somehow and not just for fun.

Descriptive writing
Detailed description of characters or objects, using mostly adjectives and adjective phrases. Describes characters physically, maybe spiritually too if required, to help the reader better visualize the characters. The descriptions need to be fun and to the point, while being vague enough to allow the reader to insert themselves into the characters.

Shared Communication
Examples are letters people write to each other, newspaper blurbs, twitter posts, emails, akashvani, etcetera. Gives the readers a sense of what the 'general public', or 'unprivileged non-character' has access too, and perceives the events happening. I've been hesitant to work on this because such pieces have to be good and believable as official communication (news report needs to be believable as one), but I think it's worth the effort.
