Okay so I need someone else to read this so I can talk to them about it Time to Orbit: Unknown It's a sci fi story about Aspen Greaves who wakes up 5 years early on a 20 year trip into deep space to terraform a planet and set up a colony. SOMETHING has had to have happened to the crew. And the back up crew. And the back up back up crew for them to be woken up under emergency protocol - and it just gets worse (better) from there. This is the blurb that's on the author's website: I stayed up until 6am binge reading it and only put it down to sleep because my boyfriend was getting up for work and he makes sad faces when I don't sleep enough. People have been describing this story as ADHD crack, for some reason. I think it's because there is always SOMETHING happening. One Situation gets resolved but that creates another Situation immediately, etc. I think there might need to be some trigger warnings on it, but I am really not very good at those... This is the post I read that got me to read it. so animorphs level of angst and maybe horror and graphic detail might be a start as far as warnings go? I've never actually read animorphs though lol anyway now i'm caught up and have to wait for new chapters to come out twice a week ;-; also i love the way the author talks about the story:
one of these days im going to have to finish reading this spaceship.... and all its perfectly functioning and normal attributes
Spoiler i can't believe we're off the ship. i can't believe we made it to orbit!!! time to orbit was known!! gasp!
And it's complete! Well, it's been complete for patrons for a while, but now it's complete for everybody! Spoiler Recontextualizing the title.
I've been meaning to read this for ages but I feel like I have to set aside a whole weekend for it considering how everyone talks about it. I saw something about derin making a print version? I might go for that...
