I wonder why there are so many. Is sci-fi becoming boring?
Here are a few - and my comments related to the story I wish to write
Empire / Rebel Army tries to overthrow Evil Empire - Nope
Good guys travel through time to stop bad guys -Nope
Human brains connected to computers Nope
Aliens want the resources of earth Nope
Romance between human and robot / alien Nope
Android develops human emotions Nope
Worlds ruled by huge corporations Nope
Navy terminology in space - will look up and avoid.
Cops from the future Nope
Every alien race speaks English - Can you read alien? Ah need to think of a way around this problem.
Aliens use organic technology - and its sticky and smelly Nope
Aliens are bigger and stronger than humans Nope
Warp / Hyperdrives and every race uses the same type of technology - Oh no I wanted one of these!
Pulse weapons - not possible therefore should be fantasy - Could be a fantasy sci-fi crossover?
Ships that are not streamlined - I'm ok here I think.
......the list is endless, but so far my planned story is doing ok.
I may have to refine my search to specifics
I'll look at cliche plot lines tomorrow.
