Oh! I'm late to this, but I really like this question.
I am S.M. Carrière. There are too many good stories to stick to just one genre.
I can only answer for the heroes (character limits), but gentleness. There is a gentle side to them, even when they're capable of cutting through swathes of enemies.

Q1 has arrived. It's international men's day today, and I thought actually that's a good topic. Not the easiest one to build questions around, either. So if I do not hit the mark I am sure you will forgive me.
As usual, no links, no pitches, not till the end.

WHAT?! I hope they don't make it too dark and gritty. I adore gritty stories, but sometimes something hopeful and slightly camp is called for. It's part of what made SG1 so special to me.
Stargate is coming back?!

Misinformation is harmless, they say, it's just a different POV they say ... "Canada has lost its measles elimination status, the Public Health Agency of Canada says. Since the fall of 2024, Canada has recorded more than 5k measles cases in 9 provinces and one territory." www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Absolutely!
Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

Stop sharing AI slop.
It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays.
But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.
