In this episode Write Pack Radio, the Write Pack explores io9’s wish list of rules that they would like to see authors (Science Fiction and Fantasy) start to break. We discuss these rules, why they exist, how to possibly break theme and how they are used across all genres.

In this episode, we cover:

6) No FTL

7) Women can’t write “hard” science fiction.

8) Magic has to be just a minor part of a fantasy world

9) No present tense

10) No “unsympathetic” characters
