Tevunkrus Geschichten

Welcome to the Flabbergasting Flash-Fic SmackDown!

Surprise Punk is not a sub genre per se, but rather a way to describe a certain type of story breaking with traditional tropes. It can be set at any point in history, the future, or a hitherto undiscovered dimension, and Surprise Punk stories will overlap with other sub-genres. Their key element is, surprise-surprise, surprise. From the Neanderthal who invents electricity instead of fire, the scientist who, rather than creating a new soft drink comes up with a formula for faster-than-light travel, or the girl who finds out her math teacher is an alien, everything goes - and more.

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.

BioPunk focuses on biotechnology -- technology that alters the genetics of an organism. Broadly, this can even refer to selective breeding, but for the purposes of BioPunk fiction, it tends to refer to things like bioengineering, or biomods, which are programmed to enhance or alter the abilities of an individual.

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

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!

That's right, 'troopers! Something brand-spankin'-new for you all. You thought WattPunk was innovative? Well, how about the long-awaited Punk Wars issue?!

It's another big one, folks! That's right, this month the crew of the good ship Ooorah! take on the monster that is Alternative History! Short stories and articles abound; there's even an interview and a contest, too, but that's nothing new! Show your support for the amazing authors featured herein!

The universe began, scientists believe, with every speck of its energy jammed into a very tiny point. This extremely dense point exploded with unimaginable force, creating matter and propelling it outward to make the billions of galaxies of our vast universe. Astrophysicists dubbed this titanic explosion the Big Bang. And that's where we're going with the next international issue of Tevun-Krus: All languages and species welcome!

Tevun-Krus #100 - The Ultimate Reading Experience! 100 stories, poems and artworks from the best SciFi writers the orange Multiverse has to offer. We got coffee & cookies. We got cake. We got beer. Don't miss out!

They're not all pale, pasty nerds with chemistry degrees! The Anti-Villain is the Anti-Hero's opposite: Where the Anti-Hero does good deeds for morally bankrupt reasons, the Anti-Villain has good intentions but deplorable methods.

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.

This month, the @Ooorah regulars take on Theological Science Fiction!

Synchronicity is a concept in psychology that describes circumstances which appear meaningfully related but lack a casual connection. Of course, this concept has a load of fictional potential-join the crew to f the mothership to explore its science fictional depth!

Wattpad is wattching. 60 issues ago, we invented a brand-new sub-genre: WattPunk. Imagine, if you will, that Wattpad--and writing--rules the world. Now we're doin' it again! Scary, huh?

A long time ago, in an issue far, far away... we tackled FanFic SF the way Batman tackles Harry Potter's archnemesis, Lord Voldemort. Now, many years later, we're doing it again... From Doctor Who to Star Trek and Warhammer - welcome to our FanFic Special No 2!

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.

The crew here at Tevun-Krus takes on the Spunky Heroine! You don't want to miss this.

So what is Utopian SF? Is there an objective definition? Or will we inevitably be accused of political bias for saying free healthcare, education, a health-based approach to drug use and rehabilitation, universal basic income for everybody, art is beautiful, no more crime, no more war, peace, love, success for everybody, that's our Utopia!

Classic nursery rhymes revisited with a Sci-Fi Twist. Originally published in Tevun-Krus, @Ooorah's monthly e-zine dedicated to Science Fiction and its many subgenres.
