All right. Switching gears to fiction-writing, after some tedious administrivia this afternoon, carried forward from yesterday's ridiculous 3-hour meeting & debrief.
What is your LEAST favourite sci-fi trope? Bonus points if it's something that gets done to death on #StarTrek!
I really don't mind stories of 'the chosen one,' provided they aren't exceedingly predictable, but that's about the only trope that really stands out to me.
Well, that and easily understood alien motivations. They're alien and I expect alien paradigms G-dangit!
@BosmangBeratna @MLClark Have you ever read The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness? It's a book about the background characters who are just trying to live their lives while the Chosen One saves the world.
