Today’s topic comes from QSFer Angel Martine: “From a reader perspective – what bugs you most in your favorite genre?”
Let’s tackle this in the sci fi genre. We all hacve things that, when we read them, just drive us up the wall.
For sci fi, one of mine is when writers blithely talk about characters going from galaxy to galaxy. As if one galaxy wasn’t big enough? As if the trip between intergalactic gulfs was like a walk across the street?
