Gosh there's so much to writing isn't there, and reading. I never really thought about much of this stuff until I started writing it myself and I'm sure a lot of readers don't. Writers who can can write something that appeals on different levels, like Tolkein did, that's really clever!
G1 is great to write in, yes, because there is a lot of leeway (and not least that plots which would be a bit ridiculous in other verses are perfectly acceptable!) And maybe its OK not to be too cyber-orientated period. Some readers definitely don't like organic metaphors - I've heard them say so - but its that old thng of they don't have to read I guess!
Weather metaphors are good if the setting's on Earth (or another atmospheric planet) - I really admire those who can use these well too. As I do those who make good use of 'space' metaphors.

Thank you for this. It all helps much :-)
