Question

I was thinking of doing a spin on The War of the Worlds by H. G Wells where the aliens are the protagonists. Do you think this would be a fun read?

It could very well be an interesting read, but most people enjoy reading relatable fiction, and it might be hard to relate to (assume the position of) aliens. A skilled writer might be able to make that possible.

Question

Can I write an erotic sci-fi story and turn it in as a school project?

Community Answer

I would recommend no as you could get into trouble if you hand it in to your teacher.

Question

What kind of ending is most preferable?

Community Answer

If you’re planning a sequel, write the ending so that the sequel could take place after the first book. If it’s an on earth book, try to make an unexpected ending, or one in which one of the sides win.

Question

How original is this idea: aliens and humans are at war but a human and alien fall in love (they are my main characters).

Community Answer

This idea has echoes of Avatar touched by Romeo and Juliet. It's a simple idea already written about often, but the question of originality comes in how you handle it.
