Sci-Fi Tips Part 8
Social science fiction. Once I heard of it I was fascinated.
It’s a broad genre of science fiction that revolves around the effects of technology on society. Accurate technology or science is not needed nor is it the focus. The effects of science and technology are more important to the story.

@DaughteroftheKing in fact… you said something really good that I want to elaborate on, because you hit on an entirely different aspect of the discussion. Without meaning to, I think, but now you know. 😀
See, you can have the most contradictory and duplicitous character in the world and still have them fall utterly flat. They have to live and…[Read more] -

@daughteroftheking Fine then….Let’s rephrase it. You know you’re a writer when you want to get your head examined because you’re insanely curious.

You know you’re a writer when you want to get your head examined to see if there really is anything mentally wrong with you.

If you’re interested in reading and critiquing a story based on this prompt, here’s a link to a google doc. (and the prompt, and a snippet so you can decide whether you REALLY want to read this thing or not)

You said cheesecake on purpose. *scowls*
That aside… EVERYTHING IS AWESOME. You already know what I think of this story so I won’t do a full meltdown here. But guys, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairytale, and this is just… I love it so much. You should definitely read it.

@Leumeister Well, they’d probably be good. 😀
@Ethryndal *brandishes red sword with maniacal cackling* Muahahahaha.
