7 Great Science and SciFi Stories for Story Fuel

7 Great Science and SciFi Stories–why am I writing about this? I love science. I love learning new and surprising things. Maybe you do too. The first story is next.


7 Great Science and SciFi Stories – the first

Who would think the earth’s rocks record the Solar System’s planetary movements? I sure didn’t. Yet that is what the rocks are showing. Can you write a science fiction story based upon this? Reply in the comments or here and I’ll send you an ebook of your choice.

4 Best Fun Links – Your Last

Yes, I know this doesn’t add up to four links. I didn’t think you’d mind some extra.

I belong to the Sci Fi Rountable group on Facebook and weekly they ask for writers to contribute their best 100 word samples around a theme. This theme was character description.

My contribution from Paranormal Privateers follows.

“We’re in trouble,” General Figeroa said to the assembled team—paranormal patriots, John Smith’s capuchin ambassador, and the alien AI, Wilhelmina “Minnie” Wallace. 

She’d whipped up a portable droid, a golden metallic humanoid, obviously female. She made her robot an exact copy of Marilyn Monroe. She slouched in a chair at the table in a white dress. Her glowing blue diamond eyes captured everything for three hundred and sixty degrees around her. Her third eye, located where the occipital bone was, peered through shiny blond hair.

“What now?” Diane asked.

“Are you referring to my computed .019 percent probability of victory against my former overlords?” Minnie asked.
