'Some of you might remember the Evil Overlord's List, a list of all the
generic cliche mistakes that Evil Overlords tend to make in fiction (16:
I will never utter the sentence "But before I kill you, there's just one
thing I want to know."). I think that it might be a good idea to begin
bolting together a similar list of the cliches to which Space Opera is
prone, purely as an exercise in making sure that once I get under way I
only make new and original mistakes, rather than recycling the same-old
same-old.'

Great stuff!

Share and enjoy,
