thirty-three questions / ideas to write a sci-fi world

does the story take place on Earth?

when does it take place (future, present, past) ^ side note: it can take place in the past—think of Star Wars' "a long time ago"

what is the government type?

are there extraterrestrial species?

what is the effect of the world to the plot?

what are forms of new technology?

is there a developed timeline?

check out some sci-fi movies and series (Star Wars, Star Trek) and write down the scenes

read some sci-fi books (Ender's Game, Dune) and note the recurring themes and tropes

sci-fi often crosses with dystopia. does your story touch other genres?

what is the main differences between that world and ours?

what languages are spoken?

why did you decide on sci-fi?

draw a map of the world

draw some of the creatures

fix together a playlist from different sci-fi movies and shows to create a background to your story

what books is it inspired by?

could the world be Earth-similar?

what are the great events in this world's history?

how is the culture different?

what foods are common? is it similar to the kind we eat now, or is more developed for activities such as space travel?

what do people in this world wear?

how far have people travelled in this world?

what are common activities in this world?

how is long-distance communication done?

what is the main/Universal tongue?

what are some funky/different trends in this world?

Not interested in a love I have to earn or perform for. I want to be loved as a choice, on purpose, not as a reward

I think there are people that help you become the person that you end up being, and you can be grateful for them, even if they were never meant to be in your life forever.

I love people with obscure knowledge or useless academic insights. I want to hear your analysis of lighting in Ratatouille. Tell me about the history of soda pop or the references to classical mythology in Macbeth. I want to know about the underlying homoerotic context of that 1930s sci-fi paperback. I think all knowledge is worthwhile knowledge. Explain to me the ecosystems that komodo dragons inhabit. Don’t be afraid to learn for the sake of learning.

“Cartoons? Isn’t that for kids?” I look up and smile “ Yes it is” Suddenly my appearance shifts and shrinks as I become a child. All my money turns to monopoly money and all my bills are gone. My adult responsibilities vanish, finally the spell is broken, and I am free.

Two characters, mostly from the same gender: *hate each other, always argue, say stuff like "I can't stand you anymore"*

Me: so... when are you two going to kiss I've done my waiting.
