They're exercises focused on: Scene Engineering Worldbuilding Architecture Science Fiction Concept Design Each challenge includes a Basic Prompt and an Advanced Prompt. There are no grades. No word-count police. No perfect answers. Just opportunities to experiment, practice, and build stronger stories. Share your responses, discuss your ideas, and encourage your fellow Space Authors. Write boldly. Break things. Discover something unexpected. And remember: Science fiction deserves its own space.
