  • Esports fan here! Mainly Dota and League, but I watch the occasional CSGO tournament here and there. Which part of Finland are you going to be in with your program?

  • #2 has a very human-like android and it explores the meaning of passing away from a different point of view.

    #5 has a fantastic use of drones, and despite not being American myself I enjoyed the many descriptions that tied back to First Nations' cultures.

    I wrote more extensively about each here (beware of spoilers!)

    Has anyone read Grist's top12 stories from Imagine 2200?

    Hey everyone!

    Haven't seen anyone discuss these around, so I was curious if anyone knew about them.

    Personally I only liked #5 and #2; others were ok but didn't feel that much solarpunk. Let me know if you have different opinions and let's talk about them!

  • Update: I added EPUB formats for both Meteorina and all other short stories; I have been postponing that QoL fix for a LONG time but you finally gave me a reason to go and do it 😁

  • That's so flattering, thank you! 🥹

    Your prejudice was half-right actually: tech and systems are what I really want to explore, but I use shorter stories as "experiment" to practice other aspect of storytelling too. After all, characters are the most powerful illusion spell on the reader!

    What's going to be next:

    • More Meteorina adventures (surely one on Elba, maybe one on Albanian shores considering the shitshow going on with the Italian govt nowadays? Some good old satire, why not)
    • Kanteletar, the stories of a public digital library founded in 2067 across four centuries of climate, geopolitical and cultural upheavals
  • Thank you! Let me know what you think 😋

  • I have other formats for the novels, but now that the Meteorina project is becoming bigger I should provide epub files too. I'll work on adding more buttons and get back to you in a couple days!

  • Di fianco a ogni storia ci sono le bandierine che indicano in che lingua sono! La maggior parte sono bilingui; alcune sono solo in italiano. Simulacra Navigans, l'unica storia che avevo in inglese, è quasi a fine traduzione.

    EDIT: Ho finito di tradurre Simulacra; mi ero dimenticato che anche Snowstorm e Lady Firefly erano English-only, prossimamente tradurrò anche quelle!

    I'm a solarpunk writer; here's my smallweb site with free stories and novels!

    Hey solarpunks!

    I'm Clockwork, an Italian solarpunk physicist, juggler and writer. I would like share my website with you; I've set it up two years ago with zero html knowledge and I have given it a new revamp recently. Since I write in English but the publishing system is extremely walled, I want to make myself known among likeminded people without selling my soul.

    I write mostly solarpunk (you can check out the short story page and the Meteorina "saga" (three long stories, with a fourth one coming soon), but you can also find some Neolithic fantasy and scifi with community and resistance themes. All stories are FREE TO DOWNLOAD; there are no Amazon links and most files are interoperable and freely accessible. There is a donation button but I'd rather you enjoy these stories in a non-transactional way.

    I hope you will find them interesting and possibly get inspired!

    EDIT: I'm an idiot, here's the link! Thank you for pointing it out 😅
