You are asking the right questions. We want you to be asking those questions. We also intend to answer them.
Mostly.
It will hopefully become clear when you read it why we co...
Why do you often reply to people saying "sci-fi" and say "SF" or science fiction instead? I've seen other authors do this, but then sometimes they use sci-fi still, and I'm confused... it feels like being corrected, but I don't know why!
So the answer to this question is actually rooted in the history of science fiction as a genre, and a subject of debate for decades. It’s not so much a focus nowadays, which is probably why not everyone is aware of the distinction.

And so did he.
He kept it hid
And so did she.
They searched for blue
Their whole life through,
Then passed right by-
And never knew.”

Why writers like hanging out with other writers. We’ve all got blue skin.
