Dedicated to Angus Ecrivain
and all my friends at ForbiddenPlanet, (Now known as Ooorah)
without whom many of these stories would never have been written.
This is a promotional 'book' only. All of these stories have been on wattpad in the past (a few are still here), but I've put them all together in a book, which is now available as a FREE download on Amazon, Smashwords and other ebook stores.
Introduction
Star Clash is a collection of my science fiction short stories.
You will find a variety of sub-genres amongst these tales, ranging from Galactic Empire, to Spunky Heroine, to Zombie Apocalypse. Most of them were written as entries for various Smackdowns. A Smackdown is an elimination-round competition, where the participants are provided with a series of prompts—anything from pictures, to quotations to song lyrics— a sub-genre, and a word limit.
Smackdowns are a lot of fun, as well as suggesting plots and characters which are outside a writer's usual comfort zone. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
Star Clash, the first story, was a winning entry and the prompt was the first six paragraphs, written by Angus Ecrivain.
