RE: Sleepless Nights Off-World (World Building Notes)

What does HFY stand for? I assumed it was created with AI, just based on how similar all of these stories read, and it always poses Humans as the biggest threat in the galaxy, or the most alien thing in the galaxy.

It's not bad by any stretch, but I've just noticed these similarities. But, if it's a trope of this particular style or genre it makes sense then that all of these authors write the same way.

I've never heard of that, but I'm going to look it up now and see if I can find. Based on the title I think I'll like it.

Also, thanks, I'd like to try and replicate the same first person style of those others stories for future posts. I think they have a little bit more weight to them when they're told from someones perspective.

HFY is an abbreviation for "Humans, F**k Yeah !" - it's one of several related genres, including "Humans Are Space Orcs" and "Space Australia" which all developed immensely in Tumblr and Reddit long before AI's came along to try to imitate the genius ideas and memes they spawned, and which built up layer over layer.

Here's one of my faves....
