“At some point, every science fiction and fantasy story must challenge the reader's experience and learning. That's much of the reason why the genre is so open to experimentation and innovation that other genres reject--strangeness is our bread and butter. Spread it thick or slice it thin, it's still our staff of life.” StillsReasonStoriesChallengesFictionFantasyReaderInnovationScience FictionSpreadBreadGenreReason WhyRejectsThickStaffExperimentationStrangenessBread And ButterGenre IsScience Fiction And FantasyFantasy StoriesExperience And Learning Book:The Writer's Digest Guide to Science Fiction & Fantasy Source: The Writer's Digest Guide to Science Fiction & Fantasy
“It's funny because when I was growing up, I was really into science fiction and fantasy as a kid. And, when I first became a screenwriter, I ended up really just doing historical drama and non-fiction based stuff, like Band of Brothers and stuff that didn't get made, but was also non-fiction.” FirstsMadeKidsStuffFictionFantasyGrowing UpGrowingBrotherDramaBandScience FictionHistoricalNon FictionScreenwritersScience Fiction And Fantasy Author:John Orloff
“I see myself as a novelist, period. I mean, the material I work with is what is classified as science fiction and fantasy, and I really don't think about these things when I'm writing.

“Much blood has also been spilled on the carpet in attempts to distinguish between science fiction and fantasy. I have suggested an operational definition: science fiction is something that COULD happen - but usually you wouldn't want it to. Fantasy is something that COULDN'T happen - though often you only wish that it could.” WantHappensWishFictionFantasyBloodScience FictionDefinitionsCarpetScience Fiction And Fantasy Book:The Collected Stories of Arthur C.

“I do have a collection of mid-century, small-press science fiction and fantasy hardcovers that is my most focused and dedicated collection. Everything else I tend more to acquire or amass than collect. I have vinyl records I listen to all the time when I work. But I don’t collect records. I just buy records where the price seems right and it’s music I actually listen to.” SeemsFictionFantasyRecordsCenturyScience FictionPressesFocusedAcquireCollectionsDedicatedVinylScience Fiction And Fantasy Author:Michael Chabon

“I grew up a really nerdy kid. I read science fiction and fantasy voraciously, for the first 16 years of my life. I read a lot of classic Cold War science fiction, which is much of the best science fiction, so I speak the language well, which is a commodity that's not easy to come by in Hollywood.” YearsFirstsWellsWarKidsSpeakLanguageEasyFictionFantasyGrewColdGrew UpHollywoodScience FictionClassicCold WarCommodityNerdyBest ScienceScience Fiction And Fantasy Author:Jon Spaihts
“...You believe that the kind of story you want to tell might be best received by the science fiction and fantasy audience. I hope you're right, because in many ways this is the best audience in the world to write for. They're open-minded and intelligent. They want to think as well as feel, understand as well as dream. Above all, they want to be led into places that no one has ever visited before. It's a privilege to tell stories to these readers, and an honour when they applaud the tale you tell.” ThinkingWorldWayWantFeelsWritingBelieveWellsKindStoriesDreamMightFictionFantasyAudienceReaderIntelligentScience FictionPrivilegeTalesHonourOpen MindedScience Fiction And Fantasy Author:Orson Scott Card
“I was also a science fiction and fantasy fan, growing up, in games and books and movies. I love Tolkien and I love Dungeons & Dragons, so the opportunity to have a fantasy-based RTS, or real time strategy game, at that time, seemed cool. I started playing it, and the early games were simple, but fun and they had these great heroes.” BookRealOpportunityGamesFunSimpleFictionFantasyGrowing UpGrowingFansHeroStrategyScience FictionDragonsDungeonsBooks And MoviesGreat HeroScience Fiction And Fantasy Author:Duncan Jones
“I think I've actually benefited from Australia being a kind of combination of both British and American culture. We kind of got the best of both British and American television and books, science fiction and fantasy, and so on.
