Er...what kind of sci-fi do you do? Not that I know much about the different kinds, but it's a pretty broad genre, no? Are we talking crypto-religious stuff like Clarke, cyberpunk, cheesy space opera, or what?Comment

They've added a twist to the story. The robot gets a virus! Is its soul in its hard drive? Oh no!Originally posted by Lorizael View PostClick here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Snap, that's something I've never even tried writing. Have you considered transplanting something from history (like the Opium War or something) into outer space? Sorry it's not much of an idea...Comment

Humanity goes on a Jihad to conqueror the galaxy after early on in the space faring ways gets attacked by a few other alien species, and in the end causes humanity to split into several factions. And all the aliens die.You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.Comment

Probably been done, but we send one of those forty-year ships to colonize another planet. It discovers that the planet is already populated by an intelligent, but not technologically advanced, species. Colonists don't have fuel to return, so they have to live there, but it raises a whole slew of ethical dilemmas, which aren't helped by the captain/protagonist's *****y liberal robot girlfriend, who downloaded a major in postcolonial studies or some other BS diploma.Comment
