Re: What initially inspired you to get into Fantasy or Science fiction??

I think it probably started when I was little, during the winter my dad was a drive in security guard so we saw all the cool movies.

I also read a lot, and I read everything from VC Andrews to Margaret Weiss, but the reason I love SFF above all else is that it answers two basic questions:

What if

and

What's the point?

Good SFF reflects and bends reality, with similar characteristics and lines that most people can see in their own reality, more so than a fictional historic romance or some other thing. For example, I could never empathize with the twins in Flowers in the Attic, although I could sympathize with them. But I could empathize with Goldmoon.
