AboutThis community is a Heinlein-free zone. Please help to keep it that way.
For discussions of science fiction that gets away from cliches like space battles and laser cannons. We specialise in Soft SF, New Wave, Cyberpunk, literary SF. We don't discuss hard SF or military SF, and we don't discuss authors like Heinlein.
Rules
Any posts that appear to be by members promoting their own books (or movies, or whatever) will be deleted, and persistent offenders will be banned. This is not a writers' workshop or a place to promote your own work. On the other hand I have no problems with promotion of other communities as long as they’re reasonably relevant.
There's only one real rule here - no political discussions of any kind. Politics has killed too many online groups.
