What about the little green men?

So here’s a situation I’ve been pondering for a while…

Say you’re writing a futuristic series set on…kind of an outpost of Earth, I guess. There’s interplanetary travel but the setting is primarily the one outpost. Do you prefer:

A) An all human cast (as in Firefly)

B) A variety of aliens with human central characters (as in Star Wars)

All opinions welcome and greatly appreciated.

    :popcorn: I choose B. I’d like to see a variety of aliens and humans in a mixed setting, though each could have their own clubs, etc., where only their species is allowed. :blah:

    Definitely B for series potential.

    My only concern would be space/pacing for the world build. (Please don’t hit me for bringing that up)

    Mostly human, but sprinkle in aliens as secondaries or peripheral characters. Would that be option C? :neener:

    I like B as well.

    Let’s face it, darling, if you write it, we will read. It all depends on how crazy you want to make yourself.
