Sex World

[Colleen Thomas]

I enjoy writing sci fi and have been toying with the idea of a futuristic exploration mission where the crew gets more than they bargained for on an uncharted planet.

I may or may not get around to it, but if anyone likes the idea, have at it. the possibilities are pretty much endless

 

[silverwhisper]

uncharted planets give you a lot of options for fun locales, of course: alien waterfalls warmed by a spring, lush rainforests, the stark beauty of a desert...assuming the crew is all alone, there's a lot of fun narrative tension potential in their isolation from others and if there's friction b/n crew members--ah, hell, you know all that!

there's some interesting potential if there's military personnel: the gradual fraying of discipline in isolation might stand you in good stead as well.

Have you ever thought of writing for the sci-fi channel?

Thats exactly what half of their shows are about.

The other half being attacks by mutant monsters.

Stupid bastards, canceled Farscape to make more crap...

Anyways, that's a pretty broad decription. Did you have anything more specific in mind?

bi: i'm an unabashed geek. i know from sci-fi. :>

shendude: they picked up goddamned battlestar galactica over firefly. they're obviously idiots.

Quick "off topic" here... Is Firefly based on Piers Anthony's novel Firefly?


Also, I agree that this idea is wide open for Sci-Fi fans! It could go anywhere the mind takes you.

 

[silverwhisper]

nope: it's a sci-fi/western from the mind of joss whedon, the genius who brought the world buffy the vampire slayer.

If you are looking for an idea with a sci-fi theme to it.How about a take off on a old 'B' movie titled "MARS NEED WOMEN".
Say story line is about beautiful women on earth being abducted to a alien planet to help repopulate it .A rescue mission composed of male and female astronauts arrives on the planet to find it inhabited by only strongly built women and their female captives from other worlds.
How will our brave space travelers fare?

You know that movie Serenity, that came out recently?

It's a continuation of Firefly.

Ah, okay.

First the sex with aliens is a little over done so you'd need soemthing above and beyond to really make it worth while. But I think it could be done, particularly in a novel format so we can really get to know and love the charachters.

Second I love Firefly, worship Joss Whedon and despise Battlestar Galatica. With that said they would be retards to pick Firefly with its entire what? fourteen episodes if I remember right? Maybe up to an even seventeen if you break Serenity into episode sized chunks? Even shown only once a week it would take just over three months to get through it all and no matter how much I love a show its hard to watch eighteen gazillion times.

 

[Preachrman]

How about as the thread title suggests, a sex planet. A planet where any and all of your sexual fantasies come true. Similar to fantasy island, but on a planetary scale. You can have an alien dwarf standing there saying "The spaceship, the spacehip." (Sorry, got a little carries away.)

lol

This idea is still a good one. But I'll admit, I'm not a huge Sci-Fi fan and don't know much about it. I would love to read someone's take on this idea though.

Sci Fi sex

Haven't all of you fellow Star Trek fans imagined the possibilities from the episode with the White Rabbit? A planet that created anything you could imagine or wish for? But without the PG rating?
My wife's favorite Star Trek fantasy would be to act upon the metamorphs desires after bonding to Jean Luc.
I could certainly see a lot of erotic spoofing of Trek episodes...

 

[TheCaptain]

Great, a combination of two favourite things to me - sci-fi and smut!

I'm thinking something Lost in Space-esque, in a bad kinky way, for the incest variation...

It would depend on the writing style of the author though to a large extent, in my opinion - a blending of discriptive environments, some grasp of sci-fi technology and basic rules/physics of the genre, and hot sex for the lit readers. Then you're probably looking at putting it in Novels/Novella, if its going to be story-driven, so people are starting out knowing that there's a bit of a plot and a development to the story and there are no pretexts going in...

Just my thoughts, its a great idea to work sci-fi into sex, with original work or fanfic either is good IMHO, when done with a good blend of story and steamy erotica

You seem to be in the minority there.

Have you seen the series or just the 2003 miniseries?

 

[silverwhisper]

sean: you're aware i trust that whedon only did half a season's worth of episodes for buffy? and remember, we're talking sci-fi, the network that re-runs the same stuff a few hours later. sorry man but i think that sci-fi screwed the pooch there.

shendude: i wasn't wild about the first and don't know why the second calls itself battlestar galactica. it's like a bizarro version of it. the series continues more or less in the same vein as the miniseries--i watched the first half of season 1 and got tired of how unrelentingly dull the tone was.

Wow, great lets start a thread on the niceities of sci-fi over the last twenty+ years!

I think I'm pretty much in agreement thou with you silver, BSG is a pretty dull series IMHO and is really nothing that much different than the original series, other than of course the update in graphics/visual.

What exactly would do justice to a lit version of a sci-fi on this stie, though? As far as I can tell, the people who perview this website are more interested in the smut than the storyline, for the most part....

cap: but how do you feel about b5?

whatever direction the story goes, it absolutely should not go into the loving wives category--there's a faction of voters who love to 1 bomb stories in that category.

i personally can't take time off the projects i'm already working on but if i could, i'd take a more space opera tone than the somewhat gritty tone a lot of sci-fi's been doing the past decade or so. jeez, a contemporary updating of the old flash gordon or buck rogers serials would probably do well, for that matter.

Hmmm, never really got into Babylon 5 to be honest. Mate, I'm a child of the early-mid nineites when it comes to sci-fi, Next Gen Star Trek and Stargate SG1 is where it's AT lol

Yes that would be a good way to take this, the whole space opera route, with a bit of a backstory but not a suffercating amount, and a little bit of contemplorary meaning thrown in there the way regular sci-fis always try to do, tbough trying to keep things hidden under pretexts is always the way to go...

Sex, sex and more sex thou, damnit! hehehe

[BedtimeStories77]

Ya know what show I did love, though? (Boy, this is embarrassing!) MST3K!! *giggles* Though, I don't think those robots are very sexy... (Joel sure as hell was! Much better than Mike!)

 

[silverwhisper]

OK, here's an outline that just came to me (so to speak)... :>

open in media res, couple having sex. through the exposition, show that we're looking at a sci-fi scene (zero-g, maybe references to holographic gadgets). after our lovers are done, dialogue makes clear that they're freedom fighters against an oppressive interstellar government. they head towards the cabin of the ship they're in and realize they're off-course and running out of supplies so decide to visit the uncharted but lush-looking planet below.

during their descent, a storm (or something) damages the ship, forcing them to crash-land. the rest of the story is them trying to survive while at the same time make copious use of the planet's incredible vistas as backdrops to their lovemaking.

OK, that's really as far as i've gotten.

cap: didn't watch DS9 either then, huh? ah, well.
