From soft to hard, where do your tastes fall on the Science Fiction scale?
I'm fine with either. Soft is fun, hard can be interesting & thought provoking. However, if you're going to write hard scifi, you need to take extra care to write clearly & NOT jump around the timeline (unless it's time travel, of course) so readers can follow. Also, honestly, dozens of POV characters in a hard science series is one way to lose me faster--I have enough to keep track of.
