Welcome to the very first issue of TEVUN-KRUS Vol. 2! After ten years and 100 issues of Wattpad's #1 e-zine, we've entered a new era for science fiction.
Welcome to the New Frontier.
Ooorah!
Here's what's in store for the rest of 2022! We hope to see all you 'troopers there!
July 10th: Tevun-Krus #102 - TrashPunk
The setting of a trashpunk story (or garbagepunk or junkpunk, if you prefer) is a world where the only resources available are the remnants of a lost civilisation. So, literally everything is made from trash, salvaged at times under life-threatening circumstances. This said, the environment will be harsh and unforgiving most of the time, making survival key for the story's protagonists. Of course there might be unexpected gems in the heaps of trash covering the world. And a clever mind will be able to (re-)build impressive technology form the discarded items of the ancients.

August 7th: Tevun-Krus #103 - Androids
Androids, from Greek andr- (man, male) and the suffix -oid (in the form/likeness of), are artificial beings, for example robots, built to resemble humans. Androids have been a long standing feature in science fiction literature and films. While mostly designed to take over menial tasks in the place of humans, they may well be used to replace humans or decide they are better suited for the task anyway...

September 4th: Tevun-Krus #104 - SoulPunk
SoulPunk as a subdivision of QuantumPunk focuses on the evolution of the human kind as a species into the quantum level: the smallest element, eternal and ethereal. When a human is summed up as the Soul. On the quest to gain immortality, souls might be hosted in a series of bodies, clones or droids. Perhaps the black market for bodies is thriving, people are abducted, souls extracted to become a blank canvas, an empty corpse ready for a new host...

October 9th: Tevun-Krus #105 - The Black Hole
Black holes have fascinated science-fiction authors for a long time. Technically, a black hole is a region of space time where gravity is so strong that nothing, including light and electromagnetic radiation, can escape it. According to the theory of general relativity a sufficiently compact mass can deform the space time to form a black hole. Crossing the event horizon of a black hole means there is no return...

November 13th: Tevun-Krus #106 - Best of '22
Like its older brothers, we keep this bad bubba of an issue locked up in chains, only allowed visits from writers we specifically ask to come aboard. Each of the previous sub-genres covered throughout the year gets a brand-spankin'-new story from some of the readers' and Tevun-Krus' favourite writers.

December 18th: Tevun-Krus #107 - A Very Merry PiratePunk Christmas, Matey!
PiratePunk works can be set in a wide variety of historical eras, ranging from 14BC when the Sea People attacked Egypt, to the 'Golden Age of Piracy' which spanned from the 1650s to the 1730s, or in the far future and outer space. Add a little Christmasy twist, et voilà: Merry Christmas, Matey!
