Sexy Aliens and Clones… Oh My!

Made for Her available HERE

By Jessica E. Subject

It’s not always “write what you know.”

Anyone who has read my stories will know I have many stories about sexy aliens, extraterrestrials I created in my mind. I have never met any aliens (that I know of), nor traveled through space or to another planet. Yet, they tend to be the focus of my fiction.

Today though, I’m here to discuss writing about clones, as I did with Made For Her. I wanted to try something different. When I penned this story, I had already written alien romances, a contemporary romance, and two science fiction romances without aliens. But I wanted to push the boundaries as I do with my other science fiction romances. I wanted to show that everyone in the universe deserves a happily ever after. Alien, clone, whatever, as long as the character is a good person, then they deserve love, too. And yet their differences always become an integral part of the plot.

For an alien, first of all, they have to find someone that accepts that there really is life on other planets. And then hope that they would actually have a romantic interest in someone so different.

When it comes to a clone, their journey into life is already so controversial, that they are destined for discrimination. It’s an issue that is part of this story, and one of many roadblocks in the relationship between the hero and heroine.

When it comes to how a person might react to a clone, I refer back to my favorite sci-fi romance show from my childhood, Space: Above and Beyond. The character Rodney Rowland played is not a clone, but born through in-vitro fertilization with a tank as a womb. Thus how he earned the mean-spirited nickname “Tank”. Of course, he was the character I fell for, but that’s just me. LOL I imagine the resistance he experienced in trying to fit in would be the same as for a clone.

This opposition is not only due to the fact that the character is different, as it is with aliens, but also a result from those who do not support the science used in creating these people. The resulting life is seen as sub-human to some. And that plays a huge part in the plot of this story.

So, while writing clones is not a huge stretch from writing aliens, there are some key elements that need to be added to the plot of the story. And it’s something I plan to write about again.

Excerpt:

   Colonel Jones eyed each one of her new cadets, examining the neatness of their uniforms, while inspecting for signs of stress or over-anxiousness. She’d never seen the telltale muscle twitches or sweats in any previous clones, only in human-borns, but she had to look for them anyway.

   The first generation of clones didn’t live long enough to become cadets. Their hearts gave out within a year after incubation. But the scientists at Onatria had plowed on, utilizing more of Daniel’s research, speeding up the aging process with hormones to create the perfect generation she saw before her.

   She’d had female clones in previous squadrons, but the government filled the one in front of her with testosterone-driven masculinity. If she’d been younger, she’d have a hard time concentrating. But her days of crushes and fantasies were long over. She was devoted to serving her country and planet, and nothing else.

   That didn’t stop her from going out on the town for a stress-relieving fuck from time to time. But these young men in front of her appeared so virile, sure to last longer than any of her previous sexual partners.

   No. As junior officers, and more importantly, as clones, they were off limits.

I  Inspecting them gave her the opportunity to check out more than their fatigues and tics, but if they knew her thoughts, they’d walk all over her. She’d be done.

   They were of varying nationalities, builds, and heights, all fit to serve the planet. None of the cadets revealed any indication he would put the lives of others in jeopardy. This will be an easy squadron, every one of them ready to fly in a matter of weeks.

   She reached the last cadet and froze. Her stomach clenched. No, they couldn’t have!

   She pivoted on her heel and rushed off the tarmac, leaving the squad without an instructor.
