Just peeking into this discussion for a second. Two genres I really
like are Spec-fic and romance. Generally, I don't care what races are
involved. But there are moments when a great leap of joy just
overcomes my fluttering heart...and that's when a story connects to
me in a racial or religious
I was only answering a question and I am being honest when I say I don't
attach a color to Science Fiction as I only see good stories and bad stories.
I don't thing black sci fi writers should either. The origin of this post
was about marketing to black science fiction fans. I am saying it's

I know I'm coming in late here but I think the very act of labeling your
work "black" sci fi is an issue because as much as I love black people & sci
fi
I get this bad image of a guy flying a space ship and saying, "Im'a blast ya

It might be me...but I do think our previous discussions emphasized a
couple of different things:
1. blacks consume more sf (in all of its variations) than we are
"given credit" for consuming.
2. black people do not consume sf in the same venues as their white

We've asked the question quite a few times, Doctor, but I don't recall ever
getting an adequate solution let alone an answer...this is as close to a way to
proceed than anything else I've encountered...forgive me if I missed the
