Forty years after the fall of the internet, four women (and one genderless alien) embark on a journey that's one part saving the world, ninety-nine parts trauma recovery~

Would you save a world that had only ever hurt you?

Ever since Lilith’s husband calmly walked off a bridge with their daughter strapped to his chest, Lilith has wanted nothing more than to follow them.

When “Hannah”—human liaison to an alien species—hits her up, Lilith’s eager for anything bigger than her own grief.

buds chilling on the roof of an old abandoned-looking building, ufo in distance, WE EXPECTED MORE in neon on the side of the building, other text is "found family" "gals being pals (and also not)" "aliens & more" and then "(optimistic dystopia at its queerest)"

The world ends, but people keep living. Now two women separated by time and space must figure out how to fix what's broken... or, if it's even worth fixing.

Red always thought the world would end at once. A great collapse! Zombies, aliens, whatever. What she didn't count on was being one of the last 25% surviving after the flu, now expected to pick up the pieces and make something of them.

YOOOO so my favorite aliens are nothing like the above
Steven Universe is a great example in my book
What I like to think about (like REALLY like to think about, it's so fun, ohgosh) is the natural history of that planet. THAT for me defines what lives there.

For those who have written sci-fi with alien species, how do scientists categorize them?

Would the kingdoms of animal, plant, fungus, etc apply in your world?

Are there new kingdoms?

How do you handle designing alien species from a scientific point of view?

I could've chosen a lot of gifs to rep We Expected More. Aliens! Friendship! Overgrown and drowned-out cities!

This one punched me in the heart, though. Just--the world is over, has been over. But we got this Tamagotchi to work!

That's what it's about, y'all.

A bunch of people partying on top of a building with an illustration of a ufo up above. the words over this are:

Chapter 1: Lilith "Fire"

"Survivors are eaters. Eating means killing."
I was feeling mighty clever before Trent spoke up. "What about, like, carrots? Are we counting carrots as victims, here?"

well I officially DO NOT have a future in visual art

Cool butch is Ruth, tragically sincere
Then Lilith, pov #1, determined and trying to die just a bit
Pov #2 next, Hannah, just getting loud enough to be heard
Then we got Esme on her right, trans radical librarian
46 behind. yup.

First up we have Irene Rosales Vivas, the protagonist in The Amulet of Kakata. She's a 10yo Puerto Rican who loves to game as much as she loves her little brother, but don't tell him she said that 🤭
