Plunder, Whores and Starships

Tumblr Blog for a semi-serialised scifi web novel about a group of Queer Space Pirates. Absolutely no LLMs or Generative Ai was used in the writing of this work.

In the distant future, the aftermath of a bloody war has left the Galaxy in chaos.

On the lawless frontiers of settled Space, a Bordello Cruiser plies the Merchant Convoys and Mining Outposts with offers of entertainment and pleasure in her Casinos, Restaurants, Nightclubs, Spas and Malls.

All is not well aboard the Bauhinia however, talk of mutiny is whispered between Cooks, Courtesans, Bellhops and Cabaret Dancers.

Soon enough her crew will embark upon a journey filled with pillage and plunder as they turn Pirate.

The Black Lantern Fleet will be posted semi regularly on AO3

taps mic. is this thing on.

consider: clone squadron w/ dazzle pattern markings

the most batshit confusing designs. droids have zero clue where to shoot. also they look cool and goofysilly. am i making sense.

I am very much considering.

All of the Warships in my web series have Dazzle Camouflage, because if space ships can detect and shoot at each other from extreme distances, then they might as well have some pizzazz and whimsy.

I meant it when I said "Semi-serialised".

After several months, I have put out two brand new chapters.

In which two of our soon to be Space Pirates learn to appreciate that even in the darkest of times, the healing power of a good hug is unmatched.

I hope that those few of you reading along will enjoy the updates.
