Your preferred genre?

I really love mystery stories with a somewhat creepy undertone, maybe with fantasy elements mixed in. To be honest though my taste for story genres is all over the place. I like comedy too but only if it doesn't feel forced.

Nothing wrong with comedy, although I like indirect humor mixed with dark comedy. Not gallows humor, but more subtle.

ooooh, that's pretty cool. Hard Sci-fi seems to be everywhere you look these, so that's why I'd rather read stuff that doesn't lay it on so thick (but that makes me a huge hypocrite because my comic kinda borders the line between soft and hard sci-fi)

Yea when I was still on Wattpad, I made a joke that if you had a political compass as far as what aspects were hard scifi and what parts where soft science fiction, I'd say my work was soft science fiction that focuses on accurate portrayls of cryptography and hacker culture and programming.

But otherwise, has more in common with 12 Monkeys or Elfen Lied than anything by Heinlien.

I do believe Scifi hardness is more a hardness compass rather than a sliding scale though. I do hard programming, but soft in every other respect.

Sorry for double post, but what does Hard Science Fiction even mean in a present day context? It seems like every hard science fiction person I meet, they seem to have a very narrow idea of science that conforms to their own belief system rather than objective fact.

Hard Science Fiction is almost a kind of a fantasy to me, especially when said technology becomes obscenely out of date.

Somebody has to tell those mofos, nobody programs in Fortran or Cobalt anymore.

I like fantasy, with a little bit of romance and other styles mixed.
