What kind of story is STARDRIFT?
The short version: found-trouble space opera with a mystery underneath.
The longer version: STARDRIFT sits somewhere between the grimy pragmatism of a Firefly-type crew-in-space story and a locked-room mystery where the room is moving through underspace at several times the speed of light and the lock may have been set two hundred years ago. The tone is dry. The stakes are real. The humor is mostly situational and mostly unintentional on the part of the characters.
Do you like stories where competence is demonstrated rather than announced? Where problems don’t resolve cleanly, and where “probably fine” is not actually reassuring? Then this is for you.

Serial Fiction
Serial fiction is fiction published in episodes — the way Dickens did it, except without the Victorian installment pricing and with slightly fewer orphans. Each piece goes up as it’s written, which means you read it as it happens. You get to be impatient in real time.
Most stories end. These ones are still deciding.
