Almost Nowhere | comment |
Almost Nowhere is a science fiction web serial by nostalgebraist about First Contact with Starfish Aliens.An unknown amount of time has passed since aliens known as anomalings first contacted our world from a place beyond our understanding of time. It became apparent that they found us an abomination, for some unexplainable reason that maybe had to do with our bilateral symmetry.The bilaterals, as we come to be called, are placed into crashes, artificial places where time and thought move differently. This is supposed to neutralize what is bothering the aliens, without killing us in the process. But bilaterals hate being locked away. A resistance force is brewing... and it's completely outmatched.We're up against nothing that we've ever seen before, having to invent new forms of physics overnight just to explain what's happening. Yet nonetheless, the anomalings are on edge about something. Something they know happens in the future. Or futures? Enough to start a project, an experiment named Anne. Or perhaps Annes? It's complicated. | |

A Form You Are Comfortable With | |
Almost Nowhere / int_106f1a77 | comment |
A Form You Are Comfortable With: The anomalings interact with humanity via shades, living shadows that interact with our familiar world from somewhere beyond. Many of them are humanoid. Some of them are decidedly not. | |

Starfish Aliens | |
Almost Nowhere / int_31c5e7fb | comment |
Starfish Aliens: Anomalings. They interact with us as though they have bodies and move forward in time, like we do, but their true form is something vast and distant, and they only provide the illusion of temporal continuity. | |
