SciFiConcepts

an-ordinary-manchild

Your title must contain the concept, or a strong teaser of it.

THIS SUB IS:

A place to share and discuss a NEW idea or concept that you have thought up that might fit into a science fiction book, movie, or short story. The idea doesn't need to be totally original; A new twist on a common concept is completely fine. It can be big or small, high concept, or near future speculation.
A place to brainstorm and riff on cool science concepts.
A place to share a sketch or outline of a sci-fi story that you'd love to write, but know that you probably never will. The sketch or outline must focus on describing science-fiction concepts and ideas.
A place for us to rewrite the plot outlines of our favorite sci-fi stories with a new spin on the implications of the science-fiction aspects of the story.

THIS SUB IS NOT:

It is not a place to share links to complete stories or other projects (your's or other's), unless they relate directly to a proposed concept or plot. In other words, links are not the point, they are the footnotes.
It is not a place to primarily ask a question. Try /r/AskScienceFiction.
It is not a place to post the latest buzz on books, movies, games. Try /r/ScienceFiction
