I haven't been on PF that long, and I mostly post in the Science Fiction section, but I have noticed in the "Writing and World Building" forum that few of us loop back after asking for help to let people know, "My novel is done".
So, just to let you know, my novel is done and is live in the Kindle store on Amazon.
PF posters especially helped with the antimatter bomb and rail guns. @Klystron, I made the guns a lot louder based on your experience with hypervelocity rounds. And @Vanadium 50's observation that my antimatter bomb was physically impossible gave me a great (my own opinion, to be fair) plot twist that kicked in right at the end. Of course, there were many more comments on those two elements and I'm not intending to discount anyone's contribution as all the feedback and 'what about' thoughts were useful
And I included this dedication to PF in the hope that it grows the community:

"Another shout out is to PhysicsForums, which has a science fiction writers section where a knowledgeable cohort of physics experts freely give their time to assist with story elements such as world-building and invented technologies. Expect pointed responses to poorly framed questions, but if you ask intelligently, you’ll find the community is both encouraging and scarily clever."
I'm now onto a YA sci-fi novel before I finalize the "Egan Universe" trilogy, so no doubt will be asking more questions here, but until then, thanks for your support.
