@MonicaCellio I added a short-story to the Universe Factory. Can you please review it and see if it fits the Blog? It probably needs a "Mature Content" warning label... If you think it still fits here is a little excerpt that could be used for the WB Meta post:

A dream for a poor little girl from the slums, they said. There would never be such a chance again, they said. She would live a different life, they said. There were just a few details her father didn't tell her and her mother.

The first thing was that it wasn't really a scholarship. It was more of a payment. A payment for a slave.

And another story about Luna (yeah, I continued one of my series! :D) A possible teaser could be:

After a few incidents that involved a test subject with cat ears and another one with a wolf's nose we can this time follow our heroine on her quest to find a new assistant while she is taking a little vacation from the strenuous experimenting.

@Cyn It's WorldBuilding.SE's unofficial Blog on Medium. You can find it here. And there is a post on WB.SE Meta where new posts are announced. You find that one here. Basically everything related to WorldBuilding is welcome there. I sometimes write fantasy short-stories for it.

There is also a chat room on WorldBuilding SE for it that you can find here, but as there hasn't been a post in a while it's frozen right now and I can't ping Monica there. So I thought I'd do that here instead.
