Good read of the month
Been a while since I've done one of these and afaik that's the first one that showcases a Story written for and posted to reddit.
A Job For A Deathworlder is an ongoing tale in the r/HFY subreddit.
What makes this one outstanding is its well crafted cast of characters and the complex yet believable world building.
Starting with James our "main character" a human male (bisexual) scientist who's one of the first selected to work along the greater galactic community on bard a glactic research starship
Shida a "galactic catgirl" with a complex and traumatic past
Moar a Megatherium like female scientist of advanced age
Curi a full body cyborg robotics and cybernetics expert. Member of a non-gendered species and "afflicted" with a condition not unlike human autism.
Nia, James' adopted sister a scientist. While not directly stated in the story (yet) it can be deduced from conversations she has with other characters that she is a trans women.
A bunch of James former comrades from his military days including his ex boyfriend and a childhood friend.
and that's just the "main cast" not counting the oposotion.
The story begins with James' first day on the ship. The poor guy has no idea what the unvierse has in store for him...
