makima-think Are there any HFY stories worth reading?

[–] fox@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Among the best I read back in the day was Chrysalis: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/55v9e1/chrysalis/

It's not a Humans Are Space Orcs story, it's a story about blowback and justified anger, and not losing yourself to vengeance, and how you can find new meaning after loss.

It also has ass-blasting space combat that better reflects how space battles ought to be fought than half the HFY "man the broadsides" naval nonsense.

Before anyone could answer a Marine officer yelled across the room "Bring it on cock lips. You fucked with our boats and now want to try and fuck with our new found allies, you got another thing coming." Boats refer to water faring ships on Earth and Cock is slang for Human male genitalia. The term Cock lips infers that the opposing has committed oral sex acts.

I find this series entertaining. Less "humans are orcs" and more "humans are community builders"
