《Contests》#PunkWars

Steampunk. Cyberpunk. Mythpunk. Oceanpunk.
Whichever one's punk of choice, it's fair to say there's something for everyone. The deeper one digs into the punk sub-genres of Science Fiction & Fantasy, the more bizarre and obscure such things become, however all do seem to manage to keep a foothold - however weak a foothold that might be - in reality. It might not always be the reality with which we're all familiar, but it's a reality, nonetheless.
But what happens when these different and varied worlds collide? What happens when the power of steam, cogs and gears meet the technological might of cyberpunk or nanopunk? What happens when a world of green crusaders encounters the shiny veneer of a decopunk world?
What happens, quite simply, is this: PUNK WARS!
There really are a massive amount of 'punk' sub-genres, all of which are Science Fiction based, fantasy based, or both. Don't believe us? Check out this . Anything with 'punk' in the title is fair game, as far as this contest goes!
In collaboration with & we want you to select two of those punks (and yes, you can select more than two if you wish) and write a story about what happens when the worlds of those punks you select collide! How you choose to do that, is entirely your decision.

The Reaper's Legion
Earth: An advanced inhabitable world in the ideal colonizable range. Moderate temperatures and consistent weather patterns make this planet an incredible resource, along with a wealth of animals and wildlife beyond most worlds. Inhabited by the sentient species designated “Humans,” Earth would likely have joined the galactic community of its own accord. Levels of technology in local populace indicate a sharp trend towards interstellar travel, but still needs to make the last push to acquire reasonable interstellar technologies. Up until quite recently, Earth has not been a fully classified planet and was largely unknown. Due to biotic activity in the quadrant, however, attention has been drawn to Earth and many other possibly habitable planets in the regions, primarily for quarantine and control tactics. Matthew Todd was not a particularly unique human being before the meteors struck the earth. Average athletics, above average intelligence, but somewhat gifted in marksmanship, the post-apocalyptic earth has been a trial by fire for him and many others. Creatures that resemble bastardized wolves roam the land in packs numbering in the thousands. With entire cities decimated, those that remain are left with the harsh reality that they may be witnessing the end of humanity. And yet, there is a chance. Humanity knows they are not alone in the universe - the wolves are case enough for that - but what they do not know is that they are not alone in their plight. They are not without aid. Obelisks descend from the sky, giving the people a means to fight back. With tools ranging from guns to advanced mechanical apparatus and more bizarre tools, the people must cull the Biotics. Or, be consumed by the ever growing and mutating threat. Join Matthew in the fight to exterminate the Biotic threat, and to ensure the survival of human kind!
