Is Sci-Fi literature dead?

Okay, I love science fiction, I love movies involving aliens and time travel and outer world anomalies (X-Files, Star Trek, Fringe, Aliens, Predator, Alien VS Predator, The Terminator movies, etc. I also love reading science fiction and have been doing my own writing for four years and hope to become a author some day, (not a big one like Stephen King but just someone who wants to share their made up world with other people). I love to write about other worlds and time travel as well as genetic mutations and why you shouldn’t play with fate in the name of bettering the world.

I love Sci-Fi, Aliens, Time Travel, Space Travel, black holes all that Futuristic stuff. But not too big on the whole Star Trek thing. But I can say I think the other guy is right, if Sci-Fi writers could connect with the readers a bit more, pull you in with your emotions, make you connect with the characters a bit then I think more people would read those types of novels. I feel like most of the futuristic novels out there make all the characters in the books seem cold and near emotionless (well have less emotion) and I don’t particularly like that. I think some Sci-Fi gets thrown in with Fantasy and people look at it like it’s going to be Aliens and Wizards fighting someone in some remote plane of existence in another realm and I don’t know about you but when I read something like that on the back of the book, I instantly put it back. But when it comes to a book with a real story something that seems like a great read, then I’ll give it a chance, but when it reads like a 10 year old playing make believe with a pen and paper, I just lose interest.

Brides Behaving Badly: Wild Wedding Photos You Were Never Meant to See $8.99 Pure, kind, and gracious are some of the qualities one associates with the bride at any wedding—but not here! More than four million Americans get married each year, and not all of the brides are well behaved. This hilarious collection of candid wedding photographs proves that not every bride is delicate or demure. These hysterical and sometimes shocking photos include brides doing keg stands, bawdy bridesmaids and grooms gone wild, crazy cakes and favors, and out-of-this-world wedding themes, including Star Trek and vampire brides. This is not the stuff that fairy tales are made of. These photos of real brides, complete with dead-pan captions, show the Bridezilla peeking out from under the veil.

I Was Write All Along $2.86 Richard E. (Dick) Dietl, born May 31, 1930, in Dunnell, MN, has spent 62 years of his life as a writer, mostly as a magazine or newspaper journalist. As a graduate of Luther College, Decorah, IA, his introduction into college sports came as a stringer for the LaCrosse Tribune, LaCrosse, WI, and a writer for the Luther College student paper, Chips. After a trip to Korea as a writer at the expense of the United States Army, he spent seven years in a teaching career he loathed. Dietl worked part-time at the Fairmont Daily Sentinel, Fairmont, MN, until breaking away from education into full time employment as its sports editor. That lasted a year before he began a 46-year trek through college athletics at the University of Northern Iowa (then the State College of Iowa), Drake University, West Texas State A&M University (then West Texas State University), George Washington University, Duke University and the University of Oregon. Throw in seven years with the National Rehabilitation Association, Alexandria, VA, and five years under the wing of the White House with the President%u2019s Committee on the Employment of People with Disabilities. Dietl was married twice, had three children, Rick, Lizanne and Carrie Ann with his first wife and four grandchildren. He suffered a sub-cranial aneurysm in 1986 and a stroke in 2006, cutting short an oil painting career that he claims was going nowhere. Just a worthy hobby. He proclaims himself sufficiently untalented on any playing field, despite the inner feeling of being a potential star. He became an observer of those with real athletic talent, devoting much of his time in exalting their accomplishments with the written word.
