It's so funny to me, all the sci fi everyone writes is the (so-called) space opera kind. Mine is set in present day with a single character that makes an invention and that's it. And it's not thaaaat big of an invention. The story doesn't focus on it at all - more about the political power struggle that ensues when the character attempts to use his new technology in the way he sees best. In any case, the space opera genre is full of a lot of different stuff. Careful not to tread on anyone's toes! |
I think you never guessed what mine is about (because the prologue didn't show them) but half of it is about a couple -man and a woman- who work in a company, and then they use this company's assets to fullfill their own greedy desire to monopolize their industry. they're not exactly good people. but they're not really evil either. they're just rich. and thats where the other half comes in, not exactly rich. but not exactly good people either. they're smuggles. mercenaries and outlaws.
Things then happen to them. and their paths meet and their lives change, I want to convey that life in a story. its not an epic story with wars, while I do want to write about battle ships and what not. I want it to be more about human and their relationships with each other, be it bad or good.
