Well, this amuses me.
OREGON CITY, ORâ€â€Science-fiction author Morgan Richards announced Monday completion of his long-awaited novel, Zeppelins Of Phobos. The swashbuckling tale of the battle for control of the solar system depicts a terrifying future filled with virtually indistinguishable characters who only communicate through stilted and shallow dialogue.
Yep, that’s funny. Sad, but funny.
I wonder if it’s funny to non sf writers?
Probably to avid scifi readers, but not so much to those who aren’t familiar with the genre at all.
