As I am finishing up my book I am reading others. I have run straight into a ton of classic Scifi tropes. I will never include and of these in my fiction:
- Brilliant 16 year old kid that is as smart as the chief engineer.
- Beautiful, young cold woman PHD scientist, that burns with hidden passion.
- Cadets, fresh out of the academy on a shake down cruise become command crew.
- Aliens that speak English but don't know of Earth.
- A human female pregnant with an alien life form.
- Ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.
- Goat-tee beards mean that you are evil.
- Sounds in the vacuum of space.
- Visible LASER beams in outer space.
--This list will grow.
