haha and mine wasn't? I swear I wasn't trying to mock si-fi writers, I just didn't know how else to do it.
I was excited to see someone else try this and I'm glad you went fantasy instead of si-fi because it's sort of helped me see the difference a little more. The difference to me seems to be in the tone. The tone feels kind of mysterious or mystical. It's the same way with Pandora's Box. I can't say that's how all fantasy is, because that is the only fantasy story I've ever read, but they felt kind of the same way to me. I just don't know if I could ever pull that off.
And it's so sad, but you picked a si-fi/fantasy challenge, and not only are less people attempting to write one, but not as many people are reading them either. -lol Poor Rose and Dee and Lore... now we sort of know how you feel. (on a tiny scale)

I'm not sure if you should use mine as a gauge to tell the difference between the two lol but yes, I think mine leans more towards fantasy. I had to stop myself from making her be from another planet though, quite a few times. :P
And I just think genres like this one as well as suspense/action and slash/visuals etc... it's just one of those things that you are either going to like them or you're not. I think more people have tried to read than we give credit for sometimes. I just think it's not everyone's cup of tea so a lot of people don't follow through and finish reading the entire thing.
It's sad but it happens and I think the writers like the ones you mentioned above as well as Marina (Yesterday's Blue Skies) kind of understand that. Id' love to see them all write a short so they can show us how it's done. lol
Rose:
Mare, I liked yours, lol it's a good take on the challenge.
I have an idea, and I want to do it, but my muse is napping lol. But I'm gonna try and see if I can churn out my idea later and spit out a short sci-fi :)
Also, we so do get that its a genre you love or hate. It gets annoying at times lol and frustrating, but we knew it when we started writing it.
Mare, you should nag Marina for a YBS update, since you mentioned her lol, I love that fic hehe

Believe me, I nag her a lot! lol And I hope your muse wakes up.
LenniluvsBrian:
It was good Mare - a lil' freaky - but good. I scare easily - lol.
My muse is still contemplating the sci-fi idea I had, but it refuses to get it started.
