Krus Stories

Wouldn't it be nice to have a clone to who helps us with menial tasks? Someone we can trust to do everything exactly the way we would do it ourselves? Or let's imagine you have a serious accident - but there is nothing to worry about since you are able to replace your body with a new, identical one. And as a plus, it's even twenty years younger. Now this brings up major conversations about identity. Are we more than a sack of cells? If someone creates a perfect copy of you, will it really be you? Ooorah and enjoy!

Yabba-dabba-dooooo! We're back with one of the cooler sub genres of the multiverse... let's go stone punk once more and dive into the world of prehistoric societies. After all, Sept. 30th 1960 saw the birth of one Fred Flintstone and his family. Fred might be 65, but he's still a long way from being retired - and neither are the 'troopers of the mothership. Yabba-dabba-dooooo!!

SportPunk is what happens when society becomes so fixated on sport that nothing else matters. Sport is life. Megacorporations spend lots of money on improving athletes beyond normal human capabilities. Life-forms from alien worlds are taken and used in cruel bloodsports. And perhaps sport is what finally prongs peace to a torn universe... Let's get sporty!

The sixth international issue of Tevun-Krus! The time has come for... PEACE.

Welcome to the 10th anniversary of Ooorah. Let's celebrate ten years of Tevun Krus, ten years of science fiction short stories, of articles, contests, poems, and general awesomeness. Join the festivities, we have cake!

Nine brand-new stories from the nine sub-genres covered by Tevun Krus in 2021, all written by nine of your favourite Tevun-Krus contributors! Enjoy this anthology and a trip through space and time, 'troopers!

It's this time of the year again - the Ooorah crew wishes you a Very Merry Cyberpunk Christmas

MusePunk combines art and the spirit of punk. A world driven by art - art as a means to master the challenges of life - or art to fuel business in a setting where the pleasure of creating has turned into pain. Writing, painting, music or sculpture... everything goes. Join the crew of the mothership into our exploration of a fascinating new sub genre!

From Ooorah, with love - enjoy our gift of brand new stories, a poem and art especially made for our lovely readers!

In science fiction, a mysterious and excessively large object of unknown origin is called a Big Dumb Object or BDO. A typical BDO has unknown but potentially immense power and often unusual properties, even going against the physical laws. Contrary to the misleading name, these objects are by no mean dumb but either lack the means to communicate or are simply too far advanced to bother with humans. Want to know more?

Bugs, may they be organic, mechanic, electronic, or a mix of them all, in a world of input from cyberpunk or biopunk, stand at the core of this subgenre. It has the potential to be horrific and awesome on a new level. Perhaps the bugs come from outer space? Are augmented by technology? Or they are simply humanity's successors in a dystopian world.

The Mandela Effect is described by TechTarget as "an observed phenomenon in which a large segment of the population misremembers a significant event or shares a memory of an event that did not actually occur." But what if it did? Find out more in issue #123 of Tevun Krus, your favourite Wattpad e-zine.

The opposite of SolarPunk, LunarPunk brings us the secrets of the night under the light of the moon. Rooted in pagan mysticism and the occult, LunarPunk shows us the darker side of what might have been and of worlds beyond our imagination. Think we're lunatics? You might be right.

The Harrison Brothers Corporation has hired Hazel Eaton to secretly transcribe the moon-carriage designs of pre-eminent French inventor Léon Gasquet while on a Zeppelin flight to Paris. What remains to be seen is whether technology is her friend or foe... This is an entry for the Tevun Krus 3 Competition - to write a Steampunk spy story in exactly 500 words. Check out @ForbiddenPlanet's Tevun Krus ezine for some awesome articles, and more details on this competition!

**February 4th, 2024 Tevun-Krus #119 - AfroFuturism 2** We first tackled AfroFuturism in 2020 for TK76. Now we're taking on the subgenre once again! AfroFuturism combines traditional African art, architecture, cultures and values (and that of the African diaspora) with the sheer wonder that is our shared science-fiction future! In more recent years, there's been a divide between "AfroFuturism" and "AfricanFuturism"-where the former term has increasingly been applied to works about or by the African diaspora and the latter restricted to the African continent. The Ooorah Mothership has taken a stance of inclusivity, so we welcome stories from both branches of this subgenre.

Welcome to QuantumPunk - a step beyond CyberPunk or NanoPunk, we encounter a world where quantum theory is applied in everyday life. Sending a person through time and space atom by atom? Switching between the different planes of the multiverse? Or seeing your own quantum ghost still hanging around a place you like to go? Welcome to a world beyond our imagination!

Pastoral Science Fiction focuses on life on rural planets - with the settlers and colonists often in negligence of the technology that brought them initially to their safe haven. Of course, this has potential for both idyllic developments and deadly conflict. Enjoy an issue dedicated to this multi-faceted Sci-fi sub genre!

A collection of shorts and one shots and long shots. Cover by the lovely hellvis, she's awesome.
