Hey everyone, I'm going to be going off Bluesky for the duration of Lent, so don't bother checking here until after Easter. We're still hard at work on the next WAYBOUND story and will be trying to get that up to you guys soon. Check out the website for more info. www.waybound.space

WAYBOUND just passed 800 subscribers! The next batch of short stories is in-work, exploring the end of the Fools' War (2524), and a few others that might shed some light on the mystery of the SUNRAY program. Or it might not. Who's to say? Strap in, it's about to get crazy...

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

Doomerism is chickenshit. an embarrassment to every ape that threw a rock at a bear to protect the tribe. if you actually believe this doomer shit what are you posting for? it's chickenshit and i will have no truck with it. you had something better to do with your life than make the world better?

Don't become so focused on doomscrolling and despair that you neglect your other unhealthy hyperfixations. That 16 year old video game won't play itself.

Man I'm honestly really annoyed that all the political allegory I've been writing might just happen for real before I can finish writing it

The SERPENTIS family is now fully assembled, barring the ones that are from after 2525. I'm being told two of these don't exist though shoutout @zfall99.bsky.social the shipbashing GOAT

The PUERTO RICO-Class Dreadnought (DRN-282) is a relatively recent addition to the UN-UNC fleet. While initially derided by sailors as the "Chop Top" this cost-saving move has proven to be, according to UN planners, "good enough." Kane's Defense Research presents this breakdown:

Incredible things happening here

Over Acamar, a total war is imminent. Everyone - Klingon, Starfleet and Politican - is willing to risk everything to ensure victory. Only one person will actually take the risk, however, and push the quadrant that much closer to disaster. CHAPTER 15:1 OF THE EDGE OF MIDNIGHT AUDIOBOOK IS OUT NOW

The MARIANAS-Class Battleship (B075) has been the outstretched right arm of the Minervan Republics for over a century, and her modular construction will likely keep her relevant for decades to come. Kane's Defense Research presents this breakdown of a classic Minervan warship: 🧵 (1/)

Not only are you guys not ready for what's coming down the pipe in WAYBOUND, you also have no idea how not ready you are. It's gonna be crazy

I am tired of seeing untreated mental illness passing as analysis, basically

Getting increasingly sick of rank cynicism

In honor of the anniversary, we've put together a micro-short that should cater to the lore-hungry among our audience... Read it: www.waybound.space/p/ex-arcanum... EX ARCANUM, SCIENTIA follows the recruitment of the SUNRAY program's greatest asset— and ultimate downfall— Dr. Alan Stuyvesant.

Seven years ago, Kirkkerman & I got in a Discord argument with a bunch of friends about the drives from The Expanse. Later that day, we discussed what we would do if we were writing sci-fi. I don't remember how the argument went, but you all know the results. Happy 7th, WAYBOUND!

WAYBOUND has just passed the 700 subscriber mark! There's now 700 people trying to figure out the same thing the good people at FRMI are... what is SUNRAY? Stay tuned for more stories from the far future, with both answers and a whole host of new questions on the horizon...

WAYBOUND's ENTERPRISE-Class ECV was originally meant to be the new backbone of UN carrier forces, but a series of horrific accidents due to the unreliability of early 25th century plate gravity caused the class to be cancelled in 2440.

Those of you familiar with @njmksr.bsky.social's WAYBOUND series have probably already seen some of the stuff I've made, but just in case you haven't, here's a small sampling of it:

New WAYBOUND story coming

WAYBOUND's ENTERPRISE-Class ECV was originally meant to be the new backbone of UN carrier forces, but a series of horrific accidents due to the unreliability of early 25th century plate gravity caused the class to be cancelled in 2440.

So in case you missed it: I got into a copyright fight with the actual, real life United Nations on Redbubble (probably through an automated system) It's all resolved now though, but it was really fucking funny WAYBOUND poster and a novella dropping tomorrow get hyped

Tomorrow, I'm posting a new update on WAYBOUND— good stuff to come.

My boi @njmksr.bsky.social is out there quietly putting out some of the best sci-fi I've ever read and it's FOR FREE. Stunning political satire and detailed inner life to every character. Big recommend especially if you dig Star Trek or The Expanse.

The POLARIS-Class Cruiser was the intended backbone of UN-UNC carrier battle groups for almost ninety years, but a production run cut short as her program ran out of funds and political support following a disastrous dev cycle led the ship to be exceedingly scarce.
