I’m super happy about the amount of sci-fi adventure this week! Very excited because those are two of my favorite things! I hope you like them too!
Star Catcher
By Sirisha
Summary: When Dex is taken from his home planet to repay his debts, he didn’t expect to be put on a space ship smuggling Star Dust. Star Catcher, the pride and joy of it’s captain Alina was a horrible ship at best and something just above useless space junk at worst. And it is now Dex’s job to navigate it through what might possibly turn out to be the most dangerous mission of their lives. The only silver lining is that it comes with a reward big enough to walk away from all his problems forever. Will the crew of Star Catcher survive the mission? Will they finish what the captain’s father had asked of them? By the end of their journey, will they want to?
Word Count: I am planning for 28-30 chapters with 1.5k to 2k words each so around 50k to 60k words.
Any warnings: Maybe mild body horror while describing the aliens but nothing else as of now.

Clockpunk and the Vitalizer By HK Lune
Summary: When the city of Cooley is in need of a hero, Dolores Garza answers the call as Clockpunk, superheroine extraordinaire! Unfortunately she isn’t the best at her job: her powers, which let her slow time for seven seconds and see seven seconds into the future, aren’t exactly well-suited for her line of work. More often than not, her older superhero compatriots have to step in to do any real saving. She doesn’t have time to feel sorry for herself, however—The Vitalizer, Cooley’s most feared villain, threatens to destroy the city in search of a mysterious superweapon. He’ll do anything to get his hands on “The Bull,” and it’s up to Clockpunk to make sure he doesn’t succeed.
That’s easier said than done for Clockpunk, however. The fate of Cooley, the seriously-not-stacked-in-her-favor odds, and the loss of her self-esteem aren’t her only concerns: her very strong, very real crush on The Vitalizer might just spell out disaster.
