So you wanna write sci-fi?

Then sit right down, take a pick from the list of science fiction themes.  Fill in the details of your atomic rocketship with physics from Project Rho.  (Here's the handy cross-index to that site.)  Some assembly required.  Expenditure of effort in no way guarantees sale of finished product.
Seriously though, it's amazing the quantity (vast!) and quality (well, sometimes) of imaginative work that serious authors and scientists have put into this genre in the last century-plus.  And I for one will continue to buy and read with glee.
