I have posted The Pioneer at originalfiction. Here are the details:
Title: The Pioneer
Genre: Original Science Fiction
Rating: PG for non-explicit references to reproductive biology, mild violence
Summary: A young hominid growing up on an alien world finds her peaceful life disrupted by shipwrecked space travelers.
Notes: The sequel to The Gardener. Contains spoilers for The Gardener, obviously. Approximately 9,000 words. Five chapters and an epilogue.
This is probably my most generic story yet, both in terms of the "hero's journey" plot structure and the "mysterious visitors from outer space" trope, but I think the creativity comes out in the speculative biology. See this post for random musings about the background to this story. I hope you like it.
