Micro SF/F stories by O Westin

After First Contact, humanity was disappointed to learn that while the galaxy was full of space-faring species, there was no interstellar trade.
"No goods are worth the cost," the aliens said.
They returned the next week.
"Those 'books' you gave us, do they have sequels?"

@MicroSFF "Go forth, my little bookworm virus!"

  • Rozemyne, from "Ascendance of a Bookworm".

@MicroSFF Wait’ll they find out about cliffhangers. Meanwhile Seanan McGuire and Jim Butcher start switching off year for year as masters of the galaxy.

@CautionWIP @MicroSFF Please, I wouldn't want to subject Seanan or Jim to that. That seems cruel

@MicroSFF @numberw1tch Our taxes would all go to constructing corn mazes or researching new adjectives to describe attractive women, depending on which overlord was in power.

@MicroSFF
That's just one of your best!

I love it. 😀

@MicroSFF I am in the firm belief that the most important interstellar trade good may well be art.
