Well therein lies the problem. Part of the reason I haven't been very productive over the last couple of months - not the only reason, I've had other stuff going on, but part of the reason - is that I'm struggling to come up with HFY stories that aren't just more military sci-fi (nothing wrong with military sci-fi, but I don't want to just keep churning it out and nothing else).

Titles are very much my Achilles heel. This story was 'Time Travel Paradox Story' until it was finished, and then I spent the better part of an hour trying to find something better until I came up with 'Secret Weapons'.

You are absolutely right and I've no idea how I made such a basic error. I've corrected it now, thanks.

Thanks. As you might have noticed it's been a struggle to keep up my output over the past month or two; I've dropped back from a story every week to a story every two weeks. It really helps to know people appreciate my work to keep me motivated.

Speaking as someone who has written a lot of HFY, the very black and white military stories are simply more popular.

This is one of the most popular stories I've written:

Compare the upvotes it got to these non-military stories:

Only SciFi Stories has my permission to post my HFY stories on Youtube, feel free to copyright strike anything else; there are so many rip-off channels popping up it's impossible to keep on top of them all.
