Science in Fiction: This is the contest you are looking for...

I love KickStarter. I love it because it seeds creativity. I love it because I want to support projects like this one:
 
So what is this "Crossed Genres Science in My Fiction" project about? 
It's about integrating real science into science fiction. 
If you are a reader of science fiction, like me, consider becoming a supporter of the project. 
You can invest as little as $1.
If you are a writer of science fiction, what are you waiting for?
Enter the contest.
Here's the key: The Science in your story must be integral to the story--
and it has to be inspired by a recent scientific discovery or innovation. 
Real Science = better fiction.
For more specifics visit I Like a Little Science in My Fiction.
Doesn't this just make you feel better about the world and the people in it?

  1. I take a lot of liberties with the science in my sci-fi. I usually describe it as "SF as conceived by an English major." I fear I'd get tossed out of any such contest as this for science-related buffoonery.

  2. I too, am a recovering English major--and a buffoon, but I'm a happy buffoon.

    If the research presents itself, the story might follow...
