Sci-Fi isn't really my thing, as dark fantasy is probably more my jam... though I've also done some historical research. Pantsing everything, including characters, was just something I've always done. At least I've also gotten to show off my realistic dialog, of which was praised to me in a high school English class (I took AP Lit senior year).
I've generally been more in the Lit. Fiction category with most of my writing. In this case, however, the subject dictates a futuristic setting, so I guess that means it is Sci-Fi, but not in the sense of Star Wars / Star Trek. I think it's more Noir / Cyber Punk style.
And the setting is actually quite important to this story. It is, in a respect, almost its own character.
