You have to be aware what the consequences are of the approach you take.

Happily, fantastic fiction is slowly gaining in status.

If you want the reader to accept the premise as a given, then being specific is vital. This is what I'm after; I want the reader to accept the setting and the mindset of the characters, so we can get on with the story.

All my stories and worlds spring from the basic principle of being a slave to the premise, to follow the consequences wherever they may lead without taking any easy or comfortable ways out.

I want my voice to be consistent no matter if it's an original or a translation.

I don't consider genre while writing.
