The Keeper’s Universe started as a science fiction message board roleplaying game in 2003. The game is still active today. In 2008 the novel Pangea Liberation was published, set in The Keeper’s Universe, inspired by the stories that were being created there. (It is available in paperback and as an eBook at Amazon.com and most other online retailers.)
Today The Keeper’s Universe Publishing Group is collecting short stories set in The Keeper’s Universe to publish. Contributing authors will get royalties. For more information visit keepersuniverse.blogspot.com or email KeepersUniverse@gmail.com
We are currently looking for short stories that fit in two collections. We of course will be happy to read more and publish them in later collections once enough stories have been gathered.
The first collection is themed on colonization of worlds. What types of people would venture into the unknown and set up a colony on a new planet? What types of adventures did they have? What new discoveries do they make? What friends, enemies, and lovers come from settling a new world? These are just some of the ideas our first collection wishes to explore.
The second collection we are putting together is themed around spies. The Keeper’s Universe had several galactic superpowers always engaged in hot wars and cold wars. The Galactic Republic was constantly sending spies and assassins into the Socialist Alliance and the Socialists were sending them right back. No one knew what to do with the Alltradeuin Empire but they sure tried hard to spy on them. We’re looking for stories of espionage, but also of characters; adventure stories, but also stories of the heart. Who were these people who worked so loyally to undermine another government?
Please send us whatever you have and write more. And please tell your friends who have an interest in writing what we are doing. By setting stories all in the same universe we are creating an ongoing series that will help all of us get our stories out there.
