Writing
a good science fiction plot has become an increasingly difficult task
over the years, as the genre has exploded in popularity and is now
riddled with cliches. Have aliens traveled across the universe to
visit Earth and steal resources they could have found in greater
abundance on planets they passed on the long journey to ours? Is
there yet another bad guy that has traveled through time to
retroactively kill someone important? Has a computer AI become
self-aware and decided to eliminate the human race? There are
countless other cliches, too many to list, yet science fiction is
alive and well, generating impressive results across all forms of the
entertainment industry. Just what is an aspiring science fiction
writer to do to stand out and gain some traction in this market?
