Any show or book that even hinted it dealt with outer space...I had to have it or see it.<BR/><BR/>For me, it was the sense of adventure...probably because space (and our oceans) are truly the last frontier, the last place where men and women can be bold while establishing new homes, new territories, new lives. <BR/><BR/>I like to think that my books reflect that sense of adventure, that boldness of spirit that typifies the 'always questing' aspect of our human nature.Lynda K.

I don't see the pointed ears or scales or decorative brow ridges. No matter what races the characters are, they're still people and ultimately the stories are still about human interraction and what makes us tick no matter what we look like on the outside.Two Voices Publishing https://www.blogger.com/profile/13509265828424193303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28436164.post-1152499652650873412006-07-10T09:47:00.000+07:002006-07-10T09:47:00.000+07:00You grew up in Generica...so did I! We probably we...You grew up in Generica...so did I! We probably went to the same school. : ) <BR/><BR/>It's funny but when watching those reruns of Star Trek as a child I never once thought it weird that Uhura was a woman of color, or that Spock was a different humanoid altogether. They were just people. People who traveled to other worlds and rubbed elbows with cultures who lived and breathed and to me were every bit as real as the one's in our neighborhood. <BR/><BR/>I loved that! Never missed it. When TNG came out in the eighties (I'm thinking I was already in college by then) I was in heavan. Because once again I could travel to distant lands, far from the maddening crowd on earth and finally touch the stars. What adventures! What fun! <BR/><BR/>When DS9 started...I knew I wanted to live there. How cool would that be to live on a space station? I'm currently writing a novel that deals with life on a space station and the planet below. No, it's not Bajour or Cardasia, but my hat is definately off to those brave souls who sought out new lives and new civilizations, who boldly went where no one had gone before. <BR/><BR/>May sci-fi never go out of favor with audiences.Kathleen Scott/MK Mancoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872072913152568070noreply@blogger.com
