Yes, there's 'spec - fic' which is sometimes used as an acronym for speculative fiction, which includes science fiction as a major part.
I'm not aware of any other widely used abbreviations for science fiction apart from 'sci - fi' and 'SF'.
The Bebop from 'Cowboy Bebop'. The name just has a cool, jazzy feel to it. It reflects the laid - back yet action - packed nature of the show. The ship is home to a group of bounty hunters, and the name Bebop gives it a sense of being a unique and somewhat off - beat place in the science - fiction world.
Sure. In the Star Wars universe, there's cortosis. This material has the ability to short - out lightsabers on contact. It's so strong that it can resist the intense energy of a lightsaber blade, which is a very powerful weapon in that fictional realm. So it must be made of some really tough stuff.
The Panther from the video game 'Spyro the Dragon' series also counts. In the game, the Panther is one of the many unique creatures Spyro encounters. It has its own distinct look and behavior within the game's fantasy world.
Yes, 'Slaves to Darkness' has some interesting Dark Eldar elements. It might not be solely about them, but it gives a different perspective on their relationship with other forces of Chaos. It shows how they can be both allies and enemies depending on the situation.
Yes, in some local Christmas folktales, there might be kids like little Annie who helps Santa when his reindeer gets injured. But these are not as widely known as the main ones in classic Christmas stories.
There's 'The Monstrumologist' by Rick Yancey. It's about a young apprentice who studies monsters. The descriptions are gory and spooky, great for Halloween. 'The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein' by Kiersten White is an interesting take on the Frankenstein story, adding a new perspective. Also, 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' by Ransom Riggs. The strange children and the time - loop setting make it a fun Halloween read.
Well, there's 'Florida' by Lauren Groff. Some of the stories within it subtly explore the lives of women in different situations, often dealing with themes of oppression and the struggle for self - identity, which are relevant to feminism.
'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos is an epistolary novel. It's a complex web of letters between various characters, mainly the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont. Through these letters, a story of seduction, betrayal, and the corruption of the French aristocracy unfolds. It's a very dark and cynical view of society at that time.
There could be, but they are not as commonly known. The game developers mainly provided 'motherlode' and 'kaching' for easy money cheats. It's possible that some players have discovered glitches that can be exploited for money, but these are often patched out quickly. Also, using glitches can be considered unethical in the gaming community. So it's best to just rely on the official cheats.
