| 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. |
