A New Space for HFY & Sci-Fi Writers Using Modern Tools

Hi all,

I know you're here for The Black Ship, but I wanted to quickly let you know that I’ve launched a new subreddit: r/OpenHFY. It's a space for human-centric sci-fi storytelling that welcomes modern tools like AI-assisted writing. I’d really appreciate your support as I try this out.

I recently found out that even stories edited or brainstormed with AI tools aren’t allowed on the main r/HFY subreddit. That includes anything touc...

Send Greg | HFY One Shot

This is a one-shot written by me. I wanted to lighten up some of the HFY stories I have on the channel and bring in a bit more fun to the stories.

I hope you enjoy it. I'm planning to write several stories in this style and they'll get released on the channel in the coming weeks.

I'd love to know what you think in the comments.

[Animated] The Black Ship | Chapter One - One man’s trash is another man’s boom

As there’s no Black Ship episode this week, I spent most of the weekend putting this together.

A little while ago, Ekhinda re-wrote Chapter One, and when I heard there’d be a delay with this week’s episode, I decided to animate it for you.

I’m no expert, so I used my meagre AI skills to create a sort-of-show/episode in the style I could imagine seeing on a streaming service. It’s definitely not Netflix-level—but it was fun t...

Black Ship News

Heads up, Black Ship fans!

There won’t be a new Black Ship episode this week— the author’s hit a bit of writer’s block. Nothing serious, just one of those creative speed bumps. We’re giving the story a little space to breathe so we can come back strong.

In the meantime, I’ve put together something else for you to enjoy this week — just a little something to keep the vibes going while we regroup.

Thanks so much for your patience an...

Patreon Side Story Decision (and What’s Next)

Firstly, thank you to everyone who voted and for sharing your views in the comments. After reviewing the results of the recent poll and chatting with Ekhidna, we’ve made a decision on how we’ll handle side stories going forward.

Around 85% of Patreon supporters voted in favour of sharing side stories on YouTube after a short delay. So moving forward, Patreon will get early access for 7 days, and then those stories will be released to the wider ...

Should Patreon-Exclusive Stories Be Shared on YouTube Later?

Hey folks,

I’d really appreciate your input on this (The poll idea was Ekhina's).

Recently, we released a side story exclusively on Patreon. It was meant as a special thank-you to you—our amazing supporters—but as you may have seen, it sparked some frustration from YouTube listeners and on Discord who love the series and felt left out.

So the question now is:
Should Patreon-exclusive stories eventually be released on YouTube?
And if so, h...
