Another
consideration for writing successful science fiction is that you
should write the story about the characters and not the plot. The
plot is only a framework, a playground for your characters. Drop
interesting characters into any cliche plot and you'll have an
interesting story to tell, because it's not the plot that really
drives the story, it's the characters. As an example, how many sci-fi
stories are there about rag-tag resistance armies (rebels) that rise
up to defeat a powerful and evil empire? Yet we didn't mind the
cliche in Star Wars at all, because the characters were so
compelling. Attend just about any Star Wars related event, and you'll
see people dressed up as the iconic Star Wars characters. People love
great characters, so make sure you have them telling your story!
