I have my own ideas about growing /m/scifi and extending our ‘table’ to include more scifi people. What are yours? I’m keen to learn

    Gotta agree with everyone who said “content” so I thought I’d float some ideas on what attractive content might look like. Bear in mind I’m coming at this from an author’s perspective (so, bias) while at the same time trying to avoid ideas that might taste a bit like self-promo. Pretty sure I’m gonna fail at that last part, but let’s see.

    • Meet the author (“gonna fail” == “have failed”)
      “…aimed at fans and creators of sci fi…” so there must be more than just me here. Who and where are you? Shout up. A weekly(?) feature. Whether you’re published or not. You might agree with the distinction “A writer is someone who writes; and author is someone who has written” or not. You might as yet only be dreaming of writing. But the journey of a 100k novel begins with the first sentence.
    • Throw that book* review up
      *film, game, TV episode
    • My favourite trope
      Androids, AI, nanobots, cyborgs, worm holes, psi-powers, time travel, whatever. Why do you like it? Or hate it? Where was it done best/worst? How could it be done better/fresher/more realistically?
    • Favourite cancelled TV series
      God knows there are enough to choose from.

    Turns out that’s all the time I have for now. Feel free to continue the list ;o)
