Somewhere in the back of my mind I'm still hoping for someone to take this concept and actually do something with it because he blew it.

In my experience I feel like sci-fi handles this sort of stuff a lot better (or at least more frequently) than fantasy does.

I know what you mean, but I kind of agree with ayrt, just because like...the medieval tech level makes it a really different scenario in terms of having to base their lifestyle around the climate and ecology and natural rhythms, compared to a more technological society that can divorce itself more easily from the natural world.

(Obv some scifi is about primitive societies, Dark Eden etc, but real world medieval culture, the catholic calendar, etc are so tied into the seasonal opportunities and resource management, that it would be a really interesting thing to change and really explore. And I wouldn't expect to find that in scifi as much.)

Oh yeah for sure. The more directly dependent your civilization is on the natural world, the better you need to do your worldbuilding in that area, especially if you're going to be pulling crazy shit like years-long seasons that we generally don't see on our planet.

@ ANONS IF YOU KNOW SCIFI EVEN VAGUELY IN THIS REALM, THIS IS AN OPEN CALL FOR RECS, BTW

My theory was that they're not on a planet, they're in a malfunctioning Dyson sphere, which is why the seasons are so wobbly. They tell years by constellations (which are of course fixed because they're manufactured). The flora and fauna are programmed to hibernate in certain conditions (and massively reproduce in others) which is why they survive long winters, but this is not the case for humans who came later.

But apparently the real answer about the seasons is to do with dragons so fucked if I know.
