Ooorah Stories

Welcome to issue #1 of Tevun-Krus, @Ooorah 's monthly e-zine. Herein you'll find short stories, interviews, articles and even a contest. All sorts of Science Fiction goodies, related in this case to the First Contact sub-genre.

The grey-haired man was gazing into a mirror. At least it looked like a mirror at first glance. It was a silver disc, a perfect circle-paper thin and lighter than silk. At the moment it was reflecting his face but as he stared, the surface shimmered and he caught a glimpse into another world. A world where metal birds flew though the air and people merely pointed a stick to kill someone. A world of powerful magicians, far stronger than anyone he'd met, including himself. If only he could tap into it, bring a warrior from that world to this...

Entries for 'SmackDown: The Second Coming' and 'SmackDown: Back to our Roots' hosted by ooorah! Roughly a collection of prompt driven science fiction short stories.

In this latest @Ooorah anthology, we team up with Wattpad's own @WattpadPunkFiction. Inspired by a round theme from our Wattpad-famous SmackDowns, sci-fi writers will be challenged to craft a kickass story with one cardinal rule: They must first randomly generate and then merge a -Punk sub-genre and a non-Punk sub-genre. From now on we shall call this noble goal... MergePunk!

With MergePunk we return to a TK favourite - first covered in one of our trademarked SmackDown challenges, then appearing in an anthology we co-ran with an Ambassador-run Wattpad profile, MergePunk is all about merging one Punk subgenre with a non-Punk subgenre. Or several of them CatPunk meets First Contact? Time Travel x DreamPunk? AncientPunk and Superhuman SF? The possibilities are endless!

Each of the stories featured herein is set within a Universe of the writer's creation, while all being a part of a larger, shared Multiverse. At the Ooorah Mothership, we call this the M'Verse. Writers have free rein to tell the story they want to tell, providing it's sci-fi in nature and no more than 5000 words in length... then it's all good! There are, however, five "rules" to which all created Universes within the shared Multiverse must adhere. Think of them as non-mandatory prompts that weave an invisible, unbreakable web throughout this anthology. But that shouldn't prove too difficult for the writers partaking... It's time to RETURN TO THE M'VERSE.

**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.

They was... Space Pirates She found clues of their presence in Europa. She embarked on the journey to Jupiter's moon. But what she got was more than she could handle...

Tevun-Krus' best and baddest come together in this 'Best of' compilation of epic short stories. Enjoy, 'troopers!

Three years ago we created a new concept: Punk Wars! Where two (or more) sci-fi -Punk sub-genres collide in one science-fiction story. Now we're back at it again. That's right, we're returning to the Punk Wars, 'troopers! Ooorah!

Welcome to issue #66(6), Satanic SF. It's like Theological SF, but specifically about satanism.

"Perfectly happy in our tertiary star system, its thirteen life sustaining worlds more than sufficient to house our modest population of almost eighty billion, we thought we were untouchable. Then they came. Humans. They looked like us, walked like us and the technology they possessed allowed them to talk like us. That is where the similarities ended. Never have such a brutal, bastard race existed and it is the sincerest hope of myself and every single surviving member of my species that never will such a race exist again." Star Clash
