For science fiction romance, are you interested in any particular types of heroes and heroines (e.g., cyborgs, space pirates, scientists, airship captains)?
I adore a rogue who redeems himself/herself, so rebels, smugglers & pirates operating outside of the law appeal to me, yet I’m also attracted to uber-honorable law enforcers, detectives, warriors and military servicemen (love those sexy men in uniform!) but I’m actually open to any protagonist who has strong passions. Kickass heroines appeal to me, but I can fall for quiet, thoughtful heroines and beta heroes if their goals are compelling enough. For me, that’s key—the characters must want something fiercely enough to make me care about their goal, so that I make an emotional investment in their story. Scientist protagonists are fine—provided the story doesn’t get lost beneath of the weight of the science. And it’s important that an action-filled romance contain conflict between the h/h—and not rely solely on the conflict resulting from them facing the same danger, so that we get romantic/internal conflict as well.
