Science Fiction double feature picture show  August 24, 2007 - September 24, 2007

Ok there are really not a lot of science fiction contests out there so I decided to host one. (Even though it means I can't participate)

I Wiki-ed Science Fiction to clarify what I want.

(abbreviated SF or sci-fi with varying punctuation and case) is a broad genre of fiction that often involves speculations based on current or future science or technology. Science fiction is found in books, art, television, movies, games, theater, and other media.

In organizational or marketing contexts, science fiction can be synonymous with the broader definition of speculative fiction, encompassing creative works incorporating imaginative elements not found in contemporary reality; this includes fantasy, horror, and related genres.[1]

Science fiction differs from fantasy in that, within the context of the story, its imaginary elements are possible within established or postulated laws of nature.

Science fiction often involves one or more of the following elements:

* A setting in the future or in an alternative time line.
* A setting in outer space or involving aliens or unknown civilizations.
* The discovery or application of new scientific principles, such as time travel or psionics, or new technology, such as nanotechnology, faster-than-light travel or robots.
* Political or social systems different from those of the known present or past.

Exploring the consequences of such differences is the traditional purpose of science fiction, making it a "literature of ideas".

I really look forward to reading your entries I LOVE science fiction.
