Hey, I already commented over there.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll say something here.
Sometimes in Science Fiction, families are poorly represented. Often the characters come on the scene with no family or bad family situations.
I heard it said once that there were two types of Science fiction, the highly technical and all the rest. And the highly technical holds sort of a snobby attititude toward all Science fiction that is not highly technical and allows more of a human/family/relationship feel come in (beyond a shallow love interest).
I don't know if that's all true.
All I know is that I can't write anything, Spec or otherwise, without family relationships being involved somehow.
That's why I like your sister characters in you Avenir Eclectia story.
Thank you, Kaye. I appreciate your feedback!
ReplyDeleteThose are some good thoughts you have, too. Personally, (not being scientifically or mathematically inclined) I can't write the highly technical stuff either. So all of my writing hinges on the people, the relationships, and the personal struggles, like yours. I think that kind of thing does sometimes get overlooked, especially in spec fic, where completely new and fantastic settings and technology tend to take over center stage. It's good to know that I'm not the only one out here who sees things that way! : )
