Here are some links to help you. A Science Fiction story is just a story with scientific elements that are not available today.

Here are some things to think about:

  • science - without a good scientific basis, it's not a science fiction story - be sure you understand the science behind everything in your story
  • time - science fiction can be futuristic or historical, so long as the science in the story is not available to us now
  • characters - remember to create logical, believable characters that your readers will care about
  • setting - same with the setting, it must be believable whether it is set on an alternate Earth, on a starship, or a far planet
  • gadgets - a lot of people think just changing guns to ray-guns or cars to flying cars makes a story into science fiction, but that's not true - the writer needs a firm understanding of science to make a good science fiction story, so do your research and learn all about whatever it is you'd like to write
