Which scifi genre are you? Space opera? Dystopian? Scifi noir? Solarpunk? Only one way to find out: an internet quiz from a complete strange

SFF writers: how do you handle slang?

I only write SFF in our world / a world similar to ours so I use our slang

I use our world’s slang even for alt worlds

I make up new slang for alt worlds

I use a mix of our slang and made up slang

It depends entirely on the project, I’ve done different stuff for diff projects

Other somehow
