Just had to say my love of farscape made me take up sci-fi writing myself and i've just been offered a full publishing contract for the first book of my own series and I owe it all to Henson, Browder, Rocknee, black, and co. You think i should send them copies??? Even named the first book 'A Human Reaction'! I couldnt resist!
Anyway hey scapers, talk to me bout anything farscape...please!

Well done!
As for sending out copies - by all means! Don't forget sending one to Sci-Fi as well.

I write fantasy and Sci-Fi (Space related). I'm in the middle of a fantasy novel. It's a comedy but there is a hidden moral and meaning to the work.
I am currently writing a trilogy Sc-Fi film, which is martial arts/sci-fi/comdey/romance! And I love it. But I am an amateur writer - trying hard to improve as each day goes on!
Good luck with your series!

thats great, you know i've never heard of an out and out sci-fi comedy thats quite original. I think the trick is to really build up your characters. Take farscape for instance, gret chracters you get to love or hte nd you really cre what happens to them.
Would like to read a bit of yours if you dont mind

I completely agree referring to strong characters. I am really picky in anything I like, and only like a few movies or TV shows, but the ones that I do adore, are always down to great characters, character development and dynamics between the guys.
Farscape did this tremendously. And in the season one, we immediately watched how they became friends - which makes it more easier for us, the viewer, to live in the Farscape World!
As for the comdey part, I'm not a great lover of Thriller and Horror and full length feature Dramas. I MUST HAVE comedy!!! lol. SO pretty much everything I write has a comedy factor inlined throughout.
As for being original...I am as unique as they come, lol. Like I said, I'm not the greatest of writers technically, but I do think I have some originality :) It's just a question of writing it and getting it out there before someone else comes out with it, lol.
I'm getting quite excited actually about reading your series. It seems like you will have some great characters for me to be introduced to and maybe to love! lol. So hurry!!! Bring it out! lol.
