Why am I answering this. Here goes a try. I like world building and words that spin me into that world. I want characters that I connect with and are not one dimensional. Maybe I enjoy them because I don't agree or like them. I like all the directions sci-fli often leaps off into. Fantasy yes, hard science yes. Romance yes. The maybe, yes. The impossible yes. I like that they often come in multiples of three and fours and fives. I still love David Gerrold's The War Against the Chtorr Series even though he never finished it. And it has been years of waiting. Good sci-fi is just great and you know it when you read it because it hits you right in your imagination. And I like stories that are not afraid of exploring human avenues.
