Seen on Reddit (/r/PrintSF) in a discussion of fantasy faster-than-light space drives: “We rip a hole into hell then run really fast until we’re about where we want to be and rip a hole back.”
Am now being attacked by ideas for a new space opera. Subtype: high fantasy except where it's hard SF—FTL starships that run on magic.
(It goes to the back of the line or it gets the hose again.)
@WomanCorn @cstross I was thinking that too. Highways and railways through hell are a staple of the game.
