It is a time of great unrest in the M'Verse. Warring factions are spread throughout the galaxies. Planets crumble after a series of seemingly random mass invasions from universes abroad. The dark science threatens to poison the minds of all who dare...
2K23 is somehow nearly at the halfway mark, 'troopers! We know!
But there's still plenty left!

June 4th: Tevun-Krus #112 - Animal SF
In the broadest sense, Animal SF refers to science fiction with a primary focus or emphasis on animals and animal-related themes. Remember Animorphs? That's Animal SF. Pokemon? Animal SF, too! That gritty story you wrote about your flying, crime-fighting cat? Animal SF!
Oh, and all those cool little niche sub-genres like CatPunk, DogPunk, GoldfishPunk, Mexican Hairless RatPunk—those all fit under the big umbrella that is Animal SF!

July 2nd: Tevun-Krus #113 - Flat Earth (A Different Earth, 1 of 3)
You read that right. The Mothership is taking on the "flat earth." Now it goes without saying we believe the world is round—but what if it wasn't? Or maybe it suddenly went flat? Or maybe your exploration vessel comes across a mysterious pancake-flat planet? Or perhaps you want to get meta with your tale, and debunk this "theory" once and for all! It's your story!
Flat Earth is the first in a trilogy of issues dedicated to the concept of an Earth that differs from our own. Maybe all three of your stories will be related in some way? It's your choice!

August 6th: Tevun-Krus #114 - Hollow Earth (A Different Earth, 2 of 3)
After taking on the flat earth, it seems obvious what's next! The hollow earth "theory" is another bit of junk that's gained some traction online in recent years. But what if we came across a world that actually was hollow? As always, you tell the tale you wish to tell.
Hollow Earth is the second in a trilogy of issues dedicated to the concept of an Earth that differs from our own. Maybe all three of your stories will be related? It's your choice!

September 3rd: Tevun-Krus #115 - Ringworlds (A Different Earth, 3 of 3)
The "ringworld" is a classic sci-fi concept. Imagine a self-sustaining artificial world that just so happens to be shaped like a giant ring. Sometimes it looks like a big generation ship. Other times it looks like a ring-shaped planet. What will your ringworld be?
Ringworlds is the third in a trilogy of issues dedicated to the concept of an Earth that differs from our own. Maybe all three of your stories will be related? It's your choice!

October 1st: Tevun-Krus #116 - Horror SF
At long last we've decided to broadly tackle Horror SF. Zombies, vampires, werewolves, space aliens from Uranus, murder, mayhem, mystery, a haunted airlock that won't shut properly—if it's horror and it's science fiction, it fits!
