[table=black][tr]
A Dystopian novel is an imaginary society that is as dehumanizing and as unpleasant as possible and is primarily characterized by human misery, squalor, oppression and/or disease. This society doesn’t necessarily need to exist on Earth to be considered dystopic. To be considered a Science Fantasy Dystopian novel, the story must maintain a balance of supernatural and technological elements.

Space Opera SciFan – Click cover for story!
[table=black][tr]
Space Opera is loosely defined as Science Fiction in space that doesn’t really follow the established laws of physics or how big space would be. Generally there is a lot of space traveling because the author can hand wave away the pesky notion that space is big. Like, really big. This subgenre can easy to slip into Science Fantasy almost on accident. All it really takes is something mystical in either the location, the tools, or the people.

Chaos Fountain - Book 1 of The Chronicles of Ascensionby DCBallard
https://cdn.royalroadl.com/dcballard/285...200x300jpg
The story of Kyle Durlow and how he goes from Joe Nobody, to anything but. All because of a chance encounter on the streets of San Diego. From simply trying to convince himself that it was all some elaborate prank; to being convinced that this world he finds himself in was as real as the bank account his ex-girlfriend emptied for him. Kyle finds himself a fugitive from intergalactic justice, first running, and then turning the fight back on them. The Chaos Fountain is written from his perspective as he tries to get a handled on all he has been through, and what he has become after accepting the seemingly innocuous offer of a beer.

Paranormal SciFan – Click cover for story!
[table=black][tr]
This genre gets mixed with Urban fantasy, but Paranormal can happen pretty much on any timeline. More focus is given to mythical creatures such as Vampires and Werewolves. Obviously a story set in medieval times would be harder pressed to fit in the Science Fiction side of the equation, but if your story is set in the future, or maybe someone has time traveled to the past, that could qualify.

Stormguard: The Invisible Warby rhematom
https://cdn.royalroadl.com/rhematom/b146...200x300jpg
The Stormguard are the guardian angels of myth and legend, those who protect mortal souls and fight the war against Lucifer and his Fallen. Two of these angels embark on a mission to save humanity from unseen forces and dark terrors.

This is a series appearing in SciFan Magazine. A new episode is released each month. Stormguard is a bit of paranormal and sci-fi mixed together.


Portal Fiction SciFan – Click cover for story!
[table=black][tr]
This subgenre incorporates portals into an alternate world as a primary piece of world-building. More specifically, includes the use of portals between other worlds, while maintaining a balance of supernatural and technological elements.

Umbraby JaredJFleming
https://cdn.royalroadl.com/jaredjfleming...200x300png

The city of Umbra is a massive hive of activity. Centuries of building on top of each other has turned it into a pyramid of houses and apartments. At the top sit grand structures of opal and pearl, the residences of the upper class. Genetically modified, artificially grown, magically and technologically augmented, and selected from the best stock available at the Genesplicers, they are the perfect representation of what Humanity could be. They live their lives in opulence and luxury, with servants providing them with all the labour they need. Some have grown bored of this lifestyle, and seek adventure. And what better adventure could exist than a journey into the millennia-old Underground, where the authorities and luxuries of the upper levels don't exist?

Myths & Legends SciFan – Click cover for story!
[table=black][tr]
These stories include legends, myths and folktales. Legends usually involve heroic characters or fantastic places and often encompass the spiritual beliefs of the culture in which they originate. To be considered a Science Fantasy Myths & Legends novel, the story must maintain a balance of supernatural and technological elements.

The Vorrgistadt Saga - Arc One: In Places Dark & Terribleby SovereignofAshes
https://cdn.royalroadl.com/sovereignofas...200x300jpg

The world of Aelth Myrris is dying; the world-god is in her death throes. This was not caused by rampant environmental devastation, the fall-out of some cataclysmic war, nor a random happenstance of celestial events. This act of murder was entirely intentional and caused by capricious and hidden entities even more powerful than the gods themselves.

The many groups that call the world-god Myrris home have been abandoned. Once proud societies are crumbling into ruin and barbarity as those with ambition vie to seize what few bits of fading power they can. Amidst this tumult, there are still some stories to be told about those few who cling to life wanting more than power and trinkets. This is the saga of those few who hope for a better future. Those few who defy the hidden entities that devour their world. Those few who refuse to be the pawns of fate.



Enjoy your reading!

This sounds interesting. It's something I'm planning on doing in my story, but it'll be more of a genre shift, so it'd probably be more under the soft rating if anything. Cool

SRNovels,

I appreciate your enthusiasm, however this Story List is exclusive to members of the SciFan group. RRL rules state that you can only be in one group at a time, and unfortunately since you're a manager of Scribble you cannot join our's. As a gesture of goodwill however, I intend to create a new post for non-members to feature their novels and simultaneously be considered for future Open Houses. I'll let you know when the forum for non-members is up and running.
