getting my hopepunk story done. It is not going well

[facethestrange]

Aw, good luck with it! It sounds amazing, what is your story about? :)

[cornerofmadness]

Not my original plan (Hadn't read the open call right) it's a sequel to one of my others in this anthology set in Northern Wisconsin as humanity is picking itself up from a century of occupation by aliens and trying to do things right by engineering life in a sustainable way. One character is growing biofuels

Oh, awesome! The idea of hopepunk is so interesting and appealing to me, but I don't know much about it yet.

[cornerofmadness]

It seems to be a rather small subset of SF (though I would argue a lot of Star Trek belongs in that little pocket). I definitely prefer it to dystopians.

[facethestrange]

Well, I do definitely love Star Trek. :D I do like dystopia too, though - my interest in fiction goes from hopeful to grimdark and from adorable to horrifying like a pendulum (and if the same canon has both? A+++).

[cornerofmadness]

Same here though my taste for dystopians has fallen a bit (often it's the misogyny in so many) Speaking of which I have a few grimdarks on the tbr pile i need to get to

[facethestrange]

Ooooh, what are they? :)

[cornerofmadness]

Godblind by Anna Stephens is the one I can remember off the top of my head

[facethestrange]

*looks it up* *bookmarks it for later* Sounds GOOD!

[cornerofmadness]

hope we both enjoy it
