Travelling to another star... but the distance is so incredibly big, that the explorers who set out in the first place won't be alive when their ship arrives at their destination. But their far distant offspring will - if all goes well. The knowledge about the running of the ship is passed on through the generations, as is the reason why the travellers left home. But what will they find at the end of the journey?…
Ethnographic SciFi has a focus on societies - they may be alien, they may be human either on a dystopian earth or in a distant future on a colony planet. Quite often, two or more different cultures will clash or have to find a way in dealing with each other. Believable world building and differentiated aliens are important features of these stories.…
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.…

Tevun Krus goes Hard Sci-Fi for once! What does this mean? Hard science fiction emphasises on scientific or technical detail, or on scientific accuracy, or on both. Stories in this sub genre try to be accurate, logical and credible in their use of current scientific and technical knowledge. Of course there is a degree of flexibility in how far from "real science" a story can stray before it leaves the realm of hard SF.And we definitely don't want to get nitpicking here. So, enjoy what the authors of the mothership have to offer!…
