LinksLiege 12/21/17 10:52:21 PM #12:	I don't necessarily dislike sci-fi but I like fantasy infinitely more. As for why...iunno. I find fantasy settings generally more interesting to read about than sci-fi ones. I've always loved fantasy in general - sword-and-board fighting and spells and such. Redwall was the first fantasy series I really got into and, though I recognize it's more-or-less the same story written 20 times, I'm still fond of it. --- This is LinksLiege's signature.

Dash_Harber 12/21/17 10:59:25 PM #13:	This topic was made like two weeks ago, and the exact same thing happened. Someone suggest something and is immediately rebuffed by a sci-fi purist who doesn't want to admit that there is wacky technobabble and fantastic plot devices in even the most classic of sci-fi works. Both Star Trek and Star Wars are sci-fi. They are completely different because it's a big fucking genre, but they are what they are. <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:892663325] in Sci-Fi or ...
