Franchise Loyalty Test
You can only keep ONE sci-fi franchise forever. The rest vanish into the void. What do you choose? Choose wisely.

I'm a total Star Wars nerd, it got me through a lot of hard times. And not the shit new movies, I'm talking about the several hundred books in the expanded universe that I've read multiple times, that took me out of this universe at times when I was having a difficult time, especially with PTSD after police work. I'll always have a soft spot for the SW universe. Shame that they have broken it so much recently.

UPCOMING at Space Authors
Over the next few weeks, you'll start seeing quick lessons appear in the Codex covering the nuts and bolts of writing. Things like: • Show vs. Tell• Writing stronger scenes• Dialogue that sounds natural• Point of View• Characterization• Scene structure• Description• And all those little line-level techniques that make readers keep turning the page. These will be short, practical lessons you can use immediately. Then we'll start rolling out deeper courses and live classes where we can really dig into these topics and help you improve your craft. And if you're looking for one-on-one help, you'll also find links in the Codex to work privately with either Randy or me, whether that's coaching, developmental editing, or manuscript feedback. Our goal has always been simple: Not just to help you build incredible science fiction worlds... But to help you write incredible science fiction stories. We're just getting started. Krista & Randy

Is this Homage to Elite?

@Krista Baillie It was a game back in the 80s, followed by a sequel in the early 90s, had a massive cult following. You were a pilot, and part of the game was your rating, you start as Harmless, and have to work up to "Elite" The second rating was "Mostly Harmless" and were a lot of people got killed in the game 🤣

What’s your most controversial sci-fi opinion? (Yes, this is a dangerous thread. Proceed anyway.)

Humans are stupid creating AI the way we are with no controls, we write about AI killing, taking over, and then go ahead and do the exact thing we write? Like how stupid are we...
