11 science fiction classes

There is no doubt that science fiction is an unpopular genre, but there is no doubt that science fiction is not a street theme, and it can even be expected that it will become a hot topic in the near future.

Of course, the science fiction referred to here is definitely not hard science fiction, it can be soft science fiction, it can also be pseudo-science fiction, if the author is more proficient in professional knowledge, this is good, and if the author is completely illiterate, it has no impact at all, we want to write a story that makes readers happy, rather than striving for rigorous teaching materials. In fact, if the work is really scientific, it is not necessarily a good thing, because it is easy to appear boring and dilute the original YY point.

In fact, the science fiction category is actually quite a hodgepodge, among its several major classifications, the interstellar war class can be regarded as a branch of the military theme, the scientific and technological transformation of superhumans can be regarded as the urban ability class, the mecha class can be regarded as a special martial arts novel, and the use of aliens or future people, the technology of ancient civilizations to make a fortune, and those who travel back to ancient times, using modern science and technology YY alternate history novels have the same effect.

Now, with regard to the four branches mentioned above, I will talk about the writing precautions of each category.

First of all, the interstellar warfare class. In this kind of work, I think the most common mistake newcomers make is to ignore the personal heroism of the protagonist, focus the story on the grand depiction of interstellar warfare, pay too much attention to the change of tactics and the tragedy of the war, and ignore the existence of the protagonist, which does not reflect his key role. This is very important, if it is another military theme, such as modern fantasy war, then as long as the Chinese side wins, the reader will feel more or less happy, so in this kind of work, the status of the protagonist is not so important, but the Star Wars novel is different, that kind of relatively unfamiliar background environment, it is difficult to resonate with readers, and the seemingly fierce war, in fact, it is easy for readers to feel boring, what is really attractive is the personal charm of the protagonist, how the protagonist shows his wisdom and strength, and how to play a crucial role in the war。

Here, another thing to remind newcomer authors is that Star Wars novels do not have to be limited to the starry sky, they are limited to war, the protagonist can completely come out of his battleship, and he can walk on the streets like a normal person on an ordinary planet, which will be the best place to use the identity of the protagonist to carry out yy. If it is on the protagonist's own battleship, then whether he is a high-ranking officer or the commander of the whole army, his subordinates have no reason not to know his identity, in this way, everyone is respectful to the protagonist, but loses the dramatic conflict, and also loses a big selling point, on the contrary, when the protagonist walks out of the battleship, there will be many people who do not know him, and some people will think that the protagonist is an ordinary person and bully him, insult him, and at this time, you can give full play to the identity advantage of the protagonist, whether it is the protagonist showing his identity to oppress people, or using his authority to summon his subordinates as thugs, or showing his fighting skills in the army, it will be a good supplement to YY in war.

Second, the transformer series. A scientist maniac captures the protagonist for human experimentation and transforms him into a superman, before the scientist is defeated and dies, and the protagonist escapes the lab...... Whether it is this old-fashioned plot or various innovative models, this kind of work has a characteristic, that is, the protagonist is scientifically modified to gain special abilities, and the novel is also centered on this ability. This kind of work,It's basically an urban ability class.,I won't say much here.,It's just that there is one thing that needs to be reminded of newcomers.,That is, limit the number of transformers.,It's best to have only one protagonist.,Otherwise,The difficulty in writing will increase a lot.,Especially in the middle of the year.,The plot will be difficult to control.,And,As soon as there are more transformers,It's worthless.,YY about the protagonist will be diluted.。

Third, mecha classes. This type of work is more common in Japanese comics, but in the form of novels, it is still an unpopular genre. The precautions for this kind of work are similar to those of Star Wars works, and it is also necessary to pay attention to people-oriented and take the protagonist as the core of YY. If you blindly pursue the effect of the mecha and pursue the appearance of various data, then the work can basically be determined to be a failure, and if you can jump out of the limit, don't treat the mecha and the protagonist as a whole, but as two independent and interrelated parts to upgrade separately, on the one hand, the protagonist is regarded as a martial arts master, so that he gradually becomes stronger, and on the other hand, the mecha is regarded as a special, The magic weapon that can be upgraded, let it become stronger with it, or simply update it, and at the same time, pay attention to the fit between the two, and upgrade it as a part, so that the work can easily develop enough YY points. Moreover, allowing the protagonist to have the ability to exist independently of the mecha can greatly enrich the YY system of the work, because the protagonist appears in a mecha, there will be limitations in time and place, if the protagonist lacks his own ability, it is easy to make the work appear monotonous, although it is easier to reflect the characteristics of the mecha, but for newcomers, it will do more harm than good.

Fourth, future science and technology. This kind of work is based on high-tech and commercial routes. There are roughly four types of technology acquisition: aliens, future people, ancient civilizations, and geniuses developed by themselves, of which there is no essential difference between the first three modes except for the last one that is slightly different. Generally speaking, this kind of work is a bit like an alternate historical novel, because they all rely on more advanced technology to develop in a more backward civilization era, so that future generations can step on the shoulders of their predecessors to achieve more brilliant achievements, and then use this achievement to show off in front of their predecessors.

However, compared with the alternate history, the future science fiction works of science and technology still have their particularity, this is because the modern people and the ancients have completely different attitudes towards high-tech products, the same epoch-making products, put into the modern era is more likely to cause a sensation, it is easier to create a vortex of struggle between various forces, and in ancient times, this kind of overly advanced technology is not easy to be accepted by people. In contrast, I think it's still science fiction that is easier to write and more suitable for newcomers, because it has several obvious advantages over alternate history. The first is the background problem, the background of the modern city, readers are more familiar with it, and readers are more likely to accept it, and if you write about ancient times, it will be easy to make some common sense mistakes, and even if it is very rigorous, it will be taken for granted by some readers who are not familiar with history and do not match the historical facts. The second is the attitude of ancient and modern people towards new technologies. Modern people are obviously more receptive to new things, and when the protagonist comes up with new technology, it will be easier to be accepted, so that there is a lot less tongue and a lot less trouble, and it will be much more convenient to yy. The third is the selection of advanced science and technology. If it's alternate history, then the technology that the protagonist brings back either seems very old-fashioned, or it's not very suitable for YY, it's not easy to write seemingly novel and blockbuster works, and urban science fiction works are different, future technology, the author can make it up at will according to the needs of modern people, anyway, the novel focuses not on the principle of science and technology, but on its application. So, in general, this kind of work is still very suitable for newcomers to practice.

In short, there is still a lot of room for the development of science fiction works, and it is definitely not a servant street theme, and most of the traditional YY routines can also be applied to this type of work. Whether it is for newcomers or old people, this theme can be considered.

12 supernaturals

For this kind of work, the main thing I want to say is two words, "Servant Street".

Although in the publishing market, supernatural works still have good results, but because of some particularities of this type of works, for example, it is not easy to lengthen the length, the overall plot is easy to produce a sense of depression, etc., it is not too suitable for the VIP mode of the starting point.

Of course, there are examples of supernatural works that have been successful at the beginning, but they are very few after all, and, in my opinion, those books should actually be classified in other categories, such as adventure, fairy, and so on.

In short, this kind of work does not have to be successful, but it must not be suitable for newcomers.

13 with the human race

There are three main kinds of homohuman works, one is anime homo, the second is online text homo, and the third is martial arts homo. Among them,Anime fandom will have serious copyright problems,No matter how well you write,No matter how many supporters you have,It's not a chance to sign a contract.,And the trouble of online text is even greater.,It's even difficult to get the public version of the work into the library.,So,These two types of works,Whether it's a newcomer or an old man,Don't try it.。

Martial arts fandom is based on Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Huang Yi's works, among which the world structure of Gu Long's works is slightly thin, and there are not many stories that can be developed, so Gu Long Doujin is slightly less. This kind of work also has copyright issues, but Mr. Jin Yong and Mr. Huang Yi are magnanimous and will not be pursued for the time being, so there is still a glimmer of life for martial arts fans.

For newcomers, there are pros and cons to writing martial arts fandom, and the pros and cons are huge.

Say it's beneficial,First of all, martial arts fandom can take advantage of the popularity of the original work to develop,Because the original work already has a wide readership base,This will make the original fanwork have a lot of innate advantages,It's easy to attract a group of loyal fans,At the same time,The background setting in the fandom work、The character plot, etc. are all familiar to readers,Acceptance will be quite high。

Secondly, martial arts fandom is easier to write. This kind of work eliminates the most headache background setting for newcomers, and also eliminates the weaker character portrayal of newcomers, and even the development trend of the story and the detailed outline of the work are ready-made. In this way, the difficulty of writing will be much lower, as long as you follow the original book step by step.

To say that it has disadvantages is mainly a matter of recommendation. Because of copyright issues,Even if the same work gets signed-contract,It's impossible to get too many too good recommended positions.,For example, the seal pushes,The author of the same person doesn't have to think about it.,Absolutely not.,In this way, it's very detrimental to the long-term development of the work.。 Moreover, copyright issues may also leave sequelae, which may one day be approached by the original author or the author's agent to claim compensation.

Another disadvantage of fanworks is that there are significant restrictions on the freedom to create. Follow the original plot,It will make writing simple,But for creative authors,It's a shackle.,If you write halfway,Change the direction of the plot.,Replace your own things,Then,This will set the author free.,But at the same time, it will lose economic benefits.,Because the selling point of the same work is largely in the plot that the reader is familiar with.,Once out of those plots,The same work will also lose its characteristics.,Lose one of its big selling points.,The failure of the work is also expected.。

In short,I think for newcomers,Doujin works can be tried,But it's not the best theme.,If you're creative.,If you have other ideas.、Other themes.,Then it's best to consider themes other than the same people first.,And if you're not confident in your writing skills.,Then martial arts fandom will be a good choice.。

The author has something to say

From my personal opinion, there are very few hard science fiction updates on the Internet, mainly because hard science fiction will not be written to a very long length in addition to the theoretical basis, and it needs to be repeatedly revised to ponder the overall novel structure.

The "Three-Body Problem" series is a representative of hard science fiction, a direct publication.

Soft science fiction is relatively simple, and can even be classified into the scope of fantasy, such as Fang Xiang's "Master", "Katu", and zhttty's "The Age of the Great Universe" are all fine products that can be referenced.
