Huge ideas, messy emotions, and ships with more personality than most people. This is sci-fi that hits where it hurts: starships with souls, flawed heroes, and hope forged in the wreckage of war.

Oh, I don't have a lot of purely horror stories (I write dark but not horror), but here's one on the edge for spooky season

A hero whose heroism consists of killing people is uninteresting to me, and I detest the hormonal war orgies of our visual media, the mechanical slaughter of endless battalions of black-clad, yellow-toothed, red-eyed demons.

There are hundreds of years of history of women’s scientific accomplishments not being recognised or being minimised (“not notable”). It *still* happens. Many female scientists are only acknowledged on Wikipedia thanks to the efforts of, yes, other female scientists, notably physicist Dr Jess Wade.
Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.
