Exploring the Science Fiction Experience on Wattpad

Welcome to the world of science fiction on Wattpad! Here, you'll find all kinds of wild and wonderful stories and more. Science fiction isn't just about aliens or spaceships (though we have plenty of those, too!). It's a place where we explore different futures, worlds, and big "what ifs." We're diving into all the sci-fi subgenres to give you a taste of what's waiting for you. Expect to laugh, shiver, and maybe even rethink the future as we share stories, games, challenges, videos, movies, media, and more. Let's explore the sci-fi experience together!

What to Expect: 

We're celebrating the unique sci-fi subgenres featured in our profile reading list. 

Here's our lineup: 

Space & Aliens 🌌

First stop, outer space! If you've ever wondered what it'd be like to meet aliens or zoom through the stars, you'll find it here. You'll explore other planets, mysterious alien civilizations, and giant space battles. You might even read about a character who makes friends (or enemies) with extraterrestrials. Just remember: if you meet an alien, it's probably best not to shake hands. You never know where those tentacles have been!

Cyberpunk 🕶️

Cyberpunk is all about futuristic cities, neon lights, and lots of cool tech. Imagine a place where robots and humans live side-by-side, and giant corporations rule the world. Here, characters might hack into high-security computers or fight against powerful enemies. If you like the idea of a world where tech and humanity mix in crazy ways, cyberpunk is for you. Plus, everyone seems to wear sunglasses at night, which is strangely cool.

Sci-Fantasy 

In sci-fantasy, science and magic collide!  It's the best of both worlds: futuristic tech with a sprinkle of magic dust. Sci-fantasy shows that you don't have to pick between science and magic; you can have both! It's like eating pizza with ice cream—totally unexpected but super fun. LOL. 

Dystopian & Apocalypse 🌍💥

Imagine the world has taken a wrong turn. Dystopian and apocalypse stories are about societies that have gone way off course. Maybe there's a strict government that controls everything, or a natural disaster has changed life forever. This sub-genre is intense but exciting, and it make us think about the future. Will the hero survive? Can they change their world? And just what would we do if zombies showed up at our door?

Viruses & Zombies 🧟‍♂️

Speaking of zombies... in this sub-genre, a virus or infection has usually caused chaos. Here you'll find characters trying to survive outbreaks, escape zombies, and find cures. Some might even be scientists working on vaccines while battling the undead. If you like a little bit of scare with your sci-fi, this is the perfect place for you. Just don't forget your hand sanitizer!

Time Travel ⏳

Ever wanted to go back in time? Or maybe take a peek at the future? The time travel sub-genre let us do just that! Characters in these stories get to jump through time and see what life was like in different eras or what might come next. But be careful: time travel can get tricky! One little change, and the whole future could be different. It's like if you accidentally stepped on a butterfly in the past, and now pizza never got invented. Scary, right?

LitRPG 🎮

LitRPG is for those who love games! In this sub-genre, characters are actually inside a game, leveling up, battling monsters, and completing quests. Imagine logging into your favorite game, but you're actually in it. It's like a real-life video game with all the danger and excitement included. But there's no "pause" button here, so you'd better think fast!

Diverse Lit & LGBTQIAP+ Sci-Fi Stories 🌈

We believe everyone should see themselves in sci-fi, which is why we have Diverse Lit and LGBTQIA+ sci-fi stories, too. These stories feature characters of all backgrounds, identities, and orientations, showing that adventure, courage, and love belong to everyone. From nonbinary space travelers to LGBTQIA+ heroes fighting for a better world, these stories give everyone a place in the sci-fi universe. They make our sci-fi experience richer, more inclusive, and way more exciting. Representation matters! 

Steampunk

Steampunk is all about mixing the old with the new. It's like adding a sci-fi twist to historical times. Imagine inventors building massive machines with gears and pistons, creating robots out of scrap metal, and uncovering mysterious, glowing crystals that power entire cities. Steampunk gives us the chance to imagine how people in the 1800s might have created high-tech wonders without computers or electricity. Plus, it's just super cool to picture characters battling in foggy streets with steampunk gadgets!

Something to think about

Our Reading Lists are packed with stories from each of these sci-fi subgenres.  You'll find stories that'll make you laugh, wonder, and maybe even give you a thrill. 

We'll also post games, challenges, and more fun activities related to these themes. So whether you want to  take on an alien invasion, or find out what happens when the dead start walking, we've got something for you.
