Hmm. I have been in the mood for something sci-fi-space-opera flavoured.

My biggest question right now is just to make sure that the plot allows for (it doesn't have to guarantee it, of course) that the Cast can, through some means, actually "win." That this isn't just the story of crushing, inexorable defeat. Everything doesn't need to be shiny happy rainbows and butterflies, but at the same time I'm not looking for something that's just bleak, protracted darkness.
