[#]PennedPossibilities 561 — Give us your thoughts on the genre of your WIP. Do you love it, is there not enough stories written within it, are you an avid reader of the genre, etc.?
[#]ScienceFiction is such a mixed bunch...there is so much crap and so many books and series I absolutely adore. My dad was an avid reader of #SciFi, so I grew up with the worlds of Perry Rhodan and E.E.Smith but also with the more intellectual concepts of Lem or Asimov.
For me, the ensemble cast SciFi like Star Trek always resonated more than the ones where one single hero saves the day. Sometimes even Star Trek fell for this, often it was down to the captain to come up with the right solution.
There are never enough stories in a genre, I think. I am writing a universe that I missed: not a stellar exploration ship or some military ship but a meager cargo ship with a crew that is tackling the odds together, in which there are a bunch of heroes, some very unlikey ones among them, in a world where a lot of things went very wrong but also, on an individual level, things go occasionally right.
