Science fiction is a genre of fiction. It differs from fantasy in that, within the context of the story, its imaginary elements are largely possible within scientifically established or scientifically postulated laws of nature (though some elements in a story might still be pure imaginative speculation). Exploring the consequences of such differences is the traditional purpose of science fiction, making it a "literature of ideas". [1] Science fiction is largely based on writing rationally about alternative possibilities. [2] The settings for science fiction are often contrary to known reality. These may include Science fiction is difficult to define, as it includes a wide range of subgenres and themes. Author and editor Damon Knight summed up the difficulty by stating that "science fiction is what we point to when we say it",[6] a definition echoed by author Mark C. Glassy, who argues that the definition of science fiction is like the definition of pornography you don't know what it is, but you know it when you see it.[7] Vladimir Nabokov argued that if we were rigorous with our definitions, Shakespeare's play The Tempest would have to be termed science fiction.[8] According to science fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein, "a handy short definition of almost all science fiction might read realistic speculation about possible future events, based solidly on adequate knowledge of the real world, past and present, and on a thorough understanding of the nature and significance of the scientific method."[9] Rod Serling's definition is "fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the improbable made possible."[10] Lester del Rey wrote, "Even the devoted aficionado– or fan- has a hard time trying to explain what science fiction is", and that the reason for there not being a "full satisfactory definition" is that "there are no easily delineated limits to science fiction."[11]

1. What type of writer do you want to be?
March 05, 2010
What type of writer do you want to be? It isn’t as clear cut as fiction vs. non-fiction anymore. For the fiction writer, you need to consider the length of the stories you will write. Are you a novel writer or short story writer? You need to consider variables such as genre (Fantasy, Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi, etc). A lot of genres can be further pared down into more specific categories. An example of this would be dark fantasy, high fantasy, sword and sorcery fantasy, etc.
You should also decide who your target audience will be. Fiction is divided into age groups; toddlers, pict... (read more)

2. Ways That One Can Connect To The Other Side
March 02, 2010
I was sitting in my living room one day when a commercial came on for the Sci-Fi channel that said some guy was going to talk with the dead. This naturally grabbed my attention and the more I listened to how this person was going to connect with friends and loved ones who have crossed over a light switch flipped on for me. I had the "Ah-Ha" moment.

5. CiaAura Is It For Real Or Just Sci-Fi
February 26, 2010
With CieAura, it is plain that the contemporary world is growing towards applying technology deep in our daily lives. A idea such as Holographic Chips would have seemed a probable product of the 21st century back in the 1960s. Nevertheless the way that the world has advanced along with science has rendered the usual person cynical to this kind of wonder cure. This is a bit of a paradox, as there hasn't been an era where we were this preoccupied with technology and science. Also strangely enough, these traits can be the beginning for a good business, as the previously mentioned Chips imply to k... (read more)
