Heya! ^.^

Hey, Etain!

Welcome to YWS! You sound really interesting, it's great to have you here

I was wondering where your username comes from. It's cool, and reminded me of French somehow.

We haven't got that many common interests, but it doesn't matter All the better, I think.

Well! Have fun and PM me on anything at all, I'd love to help you out!

See you around,

That sounds like an awesome science club.

I've only read a handful of science fiction, sadly. Most of them were distopian like 1984. But those Asimov ones sound really interesting. I need to see if they're in my library at school. Maybe I'll even manage to get credit for reading them.

My username came from an Irish Goddess, I think a sun goddess. I'm normally horrible at thinking up usernames, so I just poked around Encyclopedia Mythica until I found something I liked. It does look a little French though... Oh well, I'm Irish and French, so I guess it fits.

Asimov and Heinlein are much more fun to read.

Asimov focuses more on the philosophical aspects of Science Fiction. So, instead of focusing on spaceships and technology, he focuses more on the problems that emerge from technology. For instance, in his compilation "I, Robot" Asimov didn't focus on how robots were made, but on the relationship between robots and humans.

His characters can be a little flat, but it's still worth a read.

Heinlein on the other hand focused more on politics and military science fiction. "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", "Starship Troopers", and "Farmer in the Sky" are all worth reading.

Another person to add to your Sci-Fi list is Orson Scott Card. His book "Ender's Game" is just plain awesome.

Dystopia's may be artistic, but I don't really like reading them.
