Just started reading "A Psalm for the Wild-Built" by Becky Chambers. It is totally Cozy Sci Fi, and is a sister to the Cozy Fantasy :birdheart:

A Psalm for the Wild-Built was wonderful. It was gently paced. Leisurely, but didn’t feel slow. I intend to read the next Monk and Robot book, but I don’t feel in a rush to do so.

Rainy days are perfect for reading with a cup of coffee! I’m currently reading A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers. Cozy Sci-Fi? Serving tea on some moon? The promised robot hasn’t shown up yet, but it’s lovely so far.

@JenniferdeGuzman
I’m currently #editing a #cozyfantasy short story collection of fairytale and mythology retellings called Spell & the Heart

I’m drafting a story about a werewolf pack struggling to survive the zombie apocalypse. I’m toying around with making it #cozyscifi or creating a new #cozyapocalypse micro genre. It’s tentatively titled Survive, but I may go with something more cozy sounding like Howls & Hope.

I’m working on a story tentatively titled Survive. It’s a post apocalyptic tale where supernaturals who’ve been living in secret among human society are forced out into the open after the zombie apocalypse. It focuses on a werewolf pack who must reveal themselves to the few humans left & how they must learn to live with each other to better their chances for survival. I’m toying around with making it #cozyscifi or make a new genre #cozyapocalypse

@liztai I wrote a #solarpunk #cozyscifi short story called The Last Sunset.

@Joncperson I already mentioned #cozyfantasy and there’s also #cozyscifi Both are low stakes stories that give you the warm fuzzies while reading. Since they’re not high fantasy or hard sci-fi there’s a lot less world building happening. Legends & Lattes which kicked off the #cozyfantasy #microgenre is about an orc who quits her life as a mercenary and starts up a coffee shop. I think a lot of people are hungry for stories that make them happy and these novellas fit the bill.
