  This may seem a dumb question to some, but I have to ask: Do you consider steampunk to be more sci-fi or fantasy?

  A question for anyone who knows a bit about witches... If your mother is a witch, does that mean you will be, too? I always thought it meant you could be, but not necessarily.

  Flickimp have you tried The Hunger Games? (My book is YA sci-fi so I'm trying to read primarily from that genre right now) Also try Scott Westerfeld The Uglies, I'm on the second book and it's really good.

  Flickimp, try www.baen.com and peruse their catalogue. They even have a free library of books for download. You might well find something to suit there.

  Any tips on a decent Third Person Limited YA Sci-Fi for me?

  Evidently, people who write Fantasy/SciFi are quite weird. Thank god, I won't stand out too much then

  Greetings one and all. Glad to find a safe and secure space to mix with my fellow inmates... erm, I mean, fellow Cloudies of the same mindset to my own... of sorts. :o)

  Hi... Brand new to this group and to The Word Cloud in general. I'm Rach and I'm addicted to writing sci-fi. Have been for quite some time now. Not really sure how to best contribute here but I just wanted to say it's nice to meet so many other sci-fi writers and not feel like that weird lady whose head is permanently stuck in the 22nd century.
