Science Fiction (and) Writing Mr. Trosclair’s REC Club 2013-2014
What’s the difference between Science Fiction and Fantasy? No Elves and Dwarves (pretty much anything in The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings is out. No ‘magic’ (Harry Potter would also be Fantasy) Like reading stories that are fiction but similar to real life with people like you and drama? That’s out too! (Pretty Little Liars, etc) No werewolves, vampires, or zombies (The ‘If you mention Twilight, I’m putting you in the Shakespearean Recitation Club’ area) No mythology (The gods did it!) (Percy Jackson)
