It is with a heavy and disappointed heart that I must respectfully submit my resignation due to the Chairman's refusal to acknowledge my petition for an addendum to our bylaw's Classification Index adding the category of Laser Fiction, a genre that deserves legitimization having been unfairly scorned and excluded solely due to it's past association with a certain author who tragically fell to the corruption of Socialism.

Allow me to present my latest book, it is mostly about an extremely large space object, and the men that encounter it. Also it has an extremely creepy romance in it between a student and her dashing literary professor.

Vote on a minimum of 5 boobs and at least one extremely muscular, sexy, heroic, alluring, virile, just utterly captivating and magnetic male, like you just want him to hold you in his big muscly arms and make you feel safe, at least partially nude, per cover. All those in favor?

Hello, is this Astounding Science Fiction? It is? Great. Yes, I received the sketch of the cover for my novel anthology Hard Rockets, Hard Men, Hard Sci-Fi. No, it isn't phallic enough. There also aren't enough of them.

look sometimes you just want a ge*ky put upon guy, really run down by the world who finds out actually he's THE special guy with special powers and the whole universe is actually made just for him. But there's this girl he really likes and she doesn't know.......... like, at all...... Anyway they're not friends, just kind of acquaintances and she's dating this real jerk who is mean to the main character but the main character has to keep his power a secret and even though he could pulverize this butthole, this fuckstick, this.. well he's also really magnanimous! so its basically my thesis about the meaning of life and the universe told through this kind of sort of fantasy, sci-fish adventure.

Who needs a story or anything but paper-thin characters when you can just describe one specific high-concept idea for most of the book, and then end with an explosion.

I don't know about that. Van Vogt is getting a lot of buzz and he has like... a 2 plot minimum.

Alternative histories are not inherently science fiction! We must safeguard ourselves against the deterioration of science fiction culture and mission creep of our organization. My God, are we going to start calling Twilight science fiction too?? There had better be some lasers and titty armor in that speculative history, or I will write a very strongly-worded letter to the Chairman.

Twilight is science fiction and has the best film adaptation of any scifi series especially if you listen to the rpat commentary where he feels no shame saying Twilight is dumb crap for babies and I already got paid

Would that the moderators here take some action against the continual wisecracking by some members. Science fiction is a serious intellectual pursuit, and if we wish our art to be given the respect it deserves we should endeavour to keep our discussion free from frivolity and lighthearted humourousness.

I thank the member for their comment and wholeheartedly agree. Now please, let us return our serious attention to my thought-provoking novel Laser-cest, recently nominated for a Newbury Medal, in which an alien species of sentient ceramic utilizes its flatulence and the psychic powers of Earth's moon to cropdust humanity to the brink of extinction, and the survivors' only salvation is a forced eugenics program to breed immunity that also happens to give some people cat ears and a tail, and also the eradication of the estate tax.
