Fresh, funny storytelling

Loved this fast-moving, funny story mashing up my favorites: aliens and Hollywood icons. Clever concept that does kinda make you wonder… what will they think of our “archives”, anyhow??!?

From the stars to the Stars

First contact meets the Culture Collective. Aliens risking rapid erroneous assimilation is an old saw in lit and film. But here’s a new twist on it. This short makes me want more from this writer. Could this clever little tale, like the universe, be destined for expansion? Make a hella full-length musical!

such a fun story

This story put a huge smile on my face. It’s incredible how the author, Veronica Bane, managed to create such a funny, epic story in such a short format. And the narrator did an incredible job too. I want to listen to more!!
