For the past few weeks I have been throwing out short stories at the HFY subreddit, and apparently they are decent. Here is a list of everything I have so far:
If you want to skip to the very good stuff first before staring from the beginning, read 'Human Employment ( and Spoon Dueling )' first, and 'How To Fix A Battleship' second, then do as you please.

It's not LTC related per say, but there is space, and there are explosions. You may also notice as the stories get newer, I improve my writing, so don't be too harsh on the first few.
Feedback is always appreciated. Please respect the handwavium and the plot armor.

Re: Trigger's Short Story Series
Well since I finished that semi-series, I had no new interesting ideas to wright up. Time isn't an issue here, getting good thoughts into writing is.

I know that feel man. When you don't even know where to begin. Or you begin somewhere but after about 2 pages you realize, that it's going nowhere and you have to trash it.Triggerhappy wrote:Well since I finished that semi-series, I had no new interesting ideas to wright up.

Re: Trigger's Short Story Series
Mistakes of the Universe ( series above ) had a very nice flow to it in my mind, but now that it's practically finished ( or at least the first chapter is ) I have no idea how to precede...
Hey the more I wait the more effect it will have on my subscribers when I finally post
