August 7th: Tevun-Krus #103 - Androids

Androids, from Greek andr- (man, male) and the suffix -oid (in the form/likeness of), are artificial beings, for example robots, built to resemble humans. Androids have been a long standing feature in science fiction literature and films. While mostly designed to take over menial tasks in the place of humans, they may well be used to replace humans or decide they are better suited for the task anyway...

September 4th: Tevun-Krus #104 - SoulPunk

SoulPunk as a subdivision of QuantumPunk focuses on the evolution of the human kind as a species into the quantum level: the smallest element, eternal and ethereal. When a human is summed up as the Soul. On the quest to gain immortality, souls might be hosted in a series of bodies, clones or droids. Perhaps the black market for bodies is thriving, people are abducted, souls extracted to become a blank canvas, an empty corpse ready for a new host...

October 9th: Tevun-Krus #105 - The Black Hole

Black holes have fascinated science-fiction authors for a long time. Technically, a black hole is a region of space time where gravity is so strong that nothing, including light and electromagnetic radiation, can escape it. According to the theory of general relativity a sufficiently compact mass can deform the space time to form a black hole. Crossing the event horizon of a black hole means there is no return...

November 13th: Tevun-Krus #106 - Best of '22

Like its older brothers, we keep this bad bubba of an issue locked up in chains, only allowed visits from writers we specifically ask to come aboard. Each of the previous sub-genres covered throughout the year gets a brand-spankin'-new story from some of the readers' and Tevun-Krus' favourite writers.

December 18th: Tevun-Krus #107 - A Very Merry PiratePunk Christmas, Matey!

PiratePunk works can be set in a wide variety of historical eras, ranging from 14BC when the Sea People attacked Egypt, to the 'Golden Age of Piracy' which spanned from the 1650s to the 1730s, or in the far future and outer space. Add a little Christmasy twist, et voilà: Merry Christmas, Matey!

January 2023: Tevun-Krus Special #7 - Return to the M'Verse: An OOORAH Anthology

Each of the stories eventually featured in Return to the M'Verse will be 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.

The M'Verse is a place of infinite possibilities. But, just to make things fun, there are five rules that each story cannot contradict. (Check out the Return to the M'Verse book on the profile).

Beyond that, as long as a story is brand-new, 5000 words at the most, as well as being science fiction (cyberpunk, bonepunk, steampunk, stonepunk, generation ship—whatever!), it's suitable for submission.

February 22nd 2023: Tevun-Krus #108 - International 7: The Big Bang!

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!
