[font="Comic Sans MS"]i would write a book about extrodinary peaple with their own special abilitys as well as their defects because i want it to appear real and give a reasonble scientific idea of how they do it and what they do. Such as books on monsters, villians, heros, or just something you thought of. [/font]
Actually I have a whole setting I would love to write books on, have some them related to each and other story that had nothing to do with the main one but still effected it in some way. My big rule is bad guys can win, good guys can die, and more than likely have subjects like current world events with my opnions about them cleverly disguised as fiction.
i agree with you the heroes should be able to die and have stories where the villians can win giving it a very... realistic view because in real life heroes dont always win so thats a great idea and good luck
A mix of cyberpunk and post holocaust, I really love both genres.
A perfect example is the Viriconium stories by John Harrison or Urth by Gene Wolfe

I was working on a Sci-Fi novel for a while. It was the aftermath of an interstellar war between Humans and a race called the Takkens (Utahraptors with FTL drive, Calvin would be so proud...)
In essence, the book is actually a sequel to a book not written about a war between the two races, which ultimately escalated to a level of Mutually Assured Destruction with planet killers. The Intergalactic version of the UN steps in and puts a stop to it. Due to the pressures of rebuilding society both humans and Takkens lose their democratic governments, one to communism, the later to traditional warlords.
Thirty years later, Machine Ghost begins when we are introduced to Anna Casovah who is the organic computer for a thought controlled aircraft called the red knight. A totalitarian government can not exist without enemies and the need to keep the people focused on anything other than the government’s inadequacies, so Earth is going to war with the Takkens again.
I only got about 6 chapters done, as well as an outline of the rest of the book. Anna is going insane from the computer, which puts her at odds with the psychologist who sees her as a threat, who is in turn at odds with the KGB officer who sees Anna as a useful tool, and the very junior captain of the Sovestiki Soyuz battle cruiser needs to arbitrate these concerns.
The Takkens have their own problems as well. Their semi-organic ships have not been upgraded to the extent that the humans have re-armed. Furthermore there is dissent in their ranks, including one captain attempting to defect with an entire battle fleet. She has the grave misfortune of meeting the Soviet commander Greegon, who forces her to glass several Takken colony worlds to prove she is committed, then doesn’t report her actions to fleet command - meaning he has a secret alien battle fleet at his beck and call...
One of these day's I'm going to finish it. Then the sun will go nova.

I'd kind of like to write a big sweeping epic that covers many generations, even centuries. It would follow an Ark Ship.
The book would start out before the ship was created, perhaps even in recent history. It would then chronicle different families' decisions to be preserved for the interstellar journey, ride out their lives onboard and unfrozen (a cheaper option), or to only have their genetic profile on record, hoping that it's used to compile and decant new cloned settlers on the other end of the trip. The book would then progress through three or four--possibly more--completely different eras onoard the Ark Ship. The idea is to emphasise how this trip is taking millennia as they rocket across the cosmos. It would finally find a new home, perhaps after a few false hits.
Finally they would arrive at their ultimate destination. The new settlers would land, old ones would be thawed. And brand new people would be cloned from the preserved DNA of the poorer colonists. They now have many difficulties that they had not anticipated. The final chapter would show how life has progressed on this new world, and how new societies have emerged over the centuries.
I've always wanted to write an account of humanities first war in space. A separatist war between mars and earth. It would span 100 year, covering not only the war but both societies and the progression of the tech involved.
