Good Science Fiction must still be grounded in the reality of facts. If the basic idea underpinning the story is too far-fetched to be possible the reader will not put up with the stretches of belief required to absorb the story.

I fully understand this and I currently belong to a speculative fiction writer's club, and we all try very hard to improve our stories. So far I've written a little christmas piece with Santa living on Sedna, and a few others which I can't remember at this time. My stories generally suck, but I would like to think they are getting better.
