The following narrative details the actions of the most average man in the universe, an alien who's almost never noticed, and a bounty hunter who is never late. Through a series of events involving many miscommunications, organizations designed to handle miscommunications, organizations designed to handle organizations designed to handle miscommunications, telenovellas, teleportation, telekinesis, tilted houses, expensive spaceships, large reptiles, nonsense pseudoscience, universal constants, and a plan to kill the galaxy's most wanted man, they embark on a journey that will end pretty much exactly as you'd expect it would.

Fade Eternal | ONC 2023 by KurokageJS

Fade is on an elevator in space, and he doesn't know how he got there. The last thing he remembers is stumbling out of his 2023 grad party. He's a trainweck of a human with zero skills or talents, and it's very clear he has no business being in space, or in an elevator full of heavily armed people. As it turns out, they're professional space cleaners responsible for removing space problems. They've all been given a mission to figure out why a research station went dark. Fade is informed that yes, he is part of the team, and actually, he's the guy in charge! If Fade is going to have the slightest chance of surviving this, he's going to have to do his best to fake it till he makes it. That is, if his own secrets don't get him first. ONC 2023

The Space Spinster (on HOLD) by DomiSotto

A dutiful, ace soldier from Mars faces a dilemma. She can accept an offer from an infuriating gen-eng man from Venus, grab her loyal cat + dig up her inner rebel and maybe become the first human to explore the Galaxy. OR she can keep flying security on the cruise space ships. Did I mention the man from Venus has an unbearable personality and nearly got her killed on Jupiter? Daaaamn! I got cocky and wrote a space opera, yes, with aliens and fast spaceships. Become a part of the audience so small, it's exclusive! First published: long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Now updates as a lite novel with AI art.

Humanity Endures by Evan_Armstrong

Desperation, ideals, greed, and hope - they all have a role to play in tearing the galaxy apart. The human race finds itself at the precipice; a mysterious, monstrous force threatens everything in the cosmos, and all the while, the unity of humanity's Empire threatens to shatter just when it is needed most. Never before has extinction been so tangible a possibility, and never before has exceptional courage, intellect, and luck been more needed. This is a story about more than just people, their ambitions, and their conflicts: it is a story about crisis, set in a universe where survival, for any side, and for anyone, may be impossible. It remains to be seen if the popular patriotic saying, "Humanity endures," will remain true - even for a week. -- If you wish you purchase a paperback version of this novel, you can do so on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Humanity-Endures-Evan-Peter-Armstrong/dp/B08P8QK86H.

Fast Cars and Intergalactic Speed Dating by MinaParkes

🌟 2022 Wattys Shortlist! 🌟 Richard Campbell has numerous problems. First among them is Garth, his roommate and business partner. Together, they're launching RiGarTek, a start-up intended to bring more efficient solar power to the average consumer. But Garth is on the very last of Richard's last nerves, and they're broke. Add to this the fact that Richard is still recovering from a nasty divorce, and...well, life isn't great. Richard's main solace is his '72 Camaro. He takes her out to drag race on weekends, which is a great way to get his blood pumping and to relieve some of the stress he's been under...but one night, he returns from a race to find a stranger in his home. A stranger with tentacles, who scarpers with Richard's life's work: the schematics for his revolutionary solar cells. Richard nearly convinces himself that the tentacle-waving burglar is a figment of his imagination, but when he and Garth are nearly killed in their own front yard, they have to face the facts: a space age adventure has swept them up without their permission. Their lives and the lives of many others are on the line, and Richard's not hero material. ...Or is he?

The Final Countdown - Season I by JWCMaher

New World by AngelinaJoliesLover

(Chapters are in English) Her scale like skin glimmered in the sun like vibrant, red diamonds as she stepped down onto earth. Her eyes were a beautiful golden glaze that only seemed to shine brighter when hit with the sun's glow. Her body was toned with muscles, as if she were born with them. Her hair was a deep black, neatly decorated into long, patterned braids that stopped just at her lower back. And scars adorned her front and back torso. 💫 Things were not meant to be like this. She had just reached her coming of age, she was supposed to be celebrating with her ງ๏ภคร, and yet here she was on her family's ship sailing off into space away from what used to be her home planet. What used to be a beautiful, scarlet planet filled with wonderful clouds, beautiful forests, gorgeous mountains, and vast-less oceans, it was now filled with black smoke as bits and pieces of the planet itself drifted off into space. *Any and all pictures and/or videos used in this story do NOT belong to me

Danger Service! by DannisWrites

They all froze and looked at the camera. "Danger Service!" We are brave, we are bold We do what we are told And sometimes we are sold into slavery! Several of them were dragged offscreen, some by their feet. But we work really hard To think of things that people need And we write them in provisions For all the Seven's traders So that everybody eats! Satire of Diplomatic Service, from Dannis Cole's fiction universe. Coming soon to YouTube...uh, when I learn Unreal Engine 5. At this rate, it might just be Unreal Engine 22 by the time I get anything done...for now, here are episodes from random, unpublished stories. The picture is Diplomat Dashing, an Elshar diplomat, saying, "Oh, no! Am I missing a pin? Habis maif!" His sash is purple because he doesn't know how to prog his clothing former. Advisors in Sigan Mas, a school that's a galaxy, stay up late at night to figure out errors the producers of Danger Service can stick in an episode for diplomatic students to find. For example, barren Elshar Mashai, capital world of the Alliance, is a treeless, sandy world but for a tiny region of farms. Episodes will show Georgia red mud, rain, and pine trees. Or items made of wood, which is very rare on Elshar worlds!

The Best Laid Plans of Vegetation and Cybernetic Beings by KarinaLFabian

If you love Star Trek and parodies... If the Orville and Galaxy Quest give you as much joy as Wrath of Khan... If you believe (as Tumblr users do) that humans will rule the galaxy because we are the only species crazy enough to tie two warp cores together, reverse the polarity and toss them into a star just to see what will happen... then this is the book for you. These are the voyages of the HMB Impulsive. This episode: The HMB Impulsive has a routine diplomatic mission - to assist two warring planets to achieve peace through marriage by ferrying the prince to his wedding. But when the prince falls for the ship's sexy (yes, that's her title), and the Cybers attack, it's far from routine. Can the crew of the Impulsive apply human hold-my-beer ingenuity to save the day and the wedding? (This story is found in my collection, Space Traipse: Hold My Beer, Season 1, on Amazon)
