[email protected] - A community for people who write or enjoy reading HFY themed fiction.
What is HFY?
While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.
In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.
Would Star Trek be an example of HFY?
Yeah, Star Trek is an example of HFY. Star Trek fan five are welcome too.
