The Sci Fi Scroll

PLEASE READ: Updates to the r/SciFiScroll and r/SciFiTV Self-Promotion Policy

2026-10-13T12:56:41+00:00

r/SciFiScroll and r/SciFiTV Self-Promotion Policy:

These forums are part of Axiom's Edge Sci Fi, and we are trying to build a community of genre fans where where we can discuss and learn more about science fiction, fantasy, and horror while also allowing the promotion of works by independent creators. We have been allowing self-promotion at r/SciFiScroll and r/SciFiTV, but we are going to adjust the policy because that is almost all that we see on the subs now (particularly r/SciFiScroll).

We will continue to allow you to promote your books, comics, movies, web sites, web series, games, etc., but we are going to impose some new limitations. Going forward, SELF-PROMOTION POSTS WILL BE LIMITED TO FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS and NO MORE THAN TWO POSTS PER USER during that time. And even with that, we want you to act very judiciously.

And if you are putting up self promotion posts, we ask that you participate beyond promoting your own works by posting other links in these subs, and also getting involved with the discussions and debates. We want to help independent creators to get their work noticed, but we don't want to turn these forums into a shill. We also request that you DO NOT POST AFFILIATE LINKS as that is a violation of Reddit policies. You can post a link to your YouTube page or an article or site with information about your work or chapters/segments from your book or web comic, etc. And if you happen to want to let people know about a new product like the Blu-ray release of Blake's 7, you can put up an informational post with a link to where people can purchase it as long as that is not an affiliate link.

During the rest of the week, posts to news, updates, reviews, and discussions will be acceptable as this is what I want as the main focus for these subs (note that for r/SciFiTV, the posts should be related to genre television as well as related movies, books, comics, etc.). It is okay if you link to an article, video, podcast, etc. on your own site, but these need to be on topic and informational and/or generating discussion. Though I will put a limit of links to your own site at two to three per week per sub. And again, be judicious about this and also post other links in the forums and participate in the discussions. For example, I post anywhere from two to three links per week per sub from the Axiom's Edge sites, sometimes more, but I always post other links as well and try to stay as involved with the discussions as time allows.

Note that blatant CLICK-BAIT POSTS that do a bait-and-switch or that go to sites that are mostly marketing or spam are not accepted and will be removed. (If you have ads on your site, that is okay, as long as the main focus is sci fi and fantasy and not selling a non-related product.)

And for those reporting what they believe is spam, please make sure you understand our self-promotion policies and explain your reason for reporting the post. Just because something was generated by AI, does not automatically make it spam, and I will be putting up a discussion about AI content shortly.

Consider these new rules to be in place now, though I will give a couple of weeks for everybody to get used to them. Starting in November, you will be given one warning if you violate the rules, and then posts will be removed and you could be banned from r/SciFiScroll and r/SciFiTV. If anybody would be interested in helping with the moderation of these forums, and/or if you have any questions or concerns you can contact us [axiomsedgescifi@gmail.com](mailto:axiomsedgescifi@gmail.com).

Let us continue to build this sci fi community where we can all participate, and those who want to pass on information about their genre-related independent creations can do that as well. This can benefit all of us and turn into a great forum for sci fi and fantasy if we all do out part and if we all work together.

The most interesting part of an apocalypse isn't the disaster. It's what stops working afterward.

2026-10-25T16:34:32+00:00

What's one everyday system you'd like to see explored more realistically in post-apocalyptic fiction?

I've been thinking about how quickly things could fall apart without anything actually being destroyed.

Gas stations have fuel but can't pump it. Grocery stores have food but can't process payments or keep things refrigerated. Hospitals have generators but need fuel. Water plants need electricity and trained workers. Cell towers eventually lose backup power.

The interesting part is that these systems wouldn't all fail at once. Some places might last days, others hours.

I've been exploring this while writing a post-apocalyptic sci-fi novel. To me, the real story begins when people have to decide who gets the remaining resources and who's responsible for keeping things running.

Which books handle the practical aftermath of an apocalypse particularly well?

My Sci-Fi Series About a Cargo Ship Carrying Something It Was Never Supposed to Carry

2026-10-25T23:14:53+00:00

Hey everyone! I’d like to share the teaser for my original sci-fi series, BORDERING.

The story follows the Far Frontier, a cargo ship heading toward a remote cluster of frontier worlds on the edge of the Thousand Stars Alliance.

A disgraced enhanced soldier is forced aboard. A famous actress is hiding a secret mission. The captain has a past he doesn't want anyone to know about. And somewhere on the ship, there's a shipment of classified military cargo that raises some serious questions.

When an ion storm hits and the ship starts losing power, things begin to go very wrong. The crew soon discovers that their cargo may be far more dangerous than they ever imagined.

The series combines sci-fi mystery, space horror, action, and character-driven drama. This teaser introduces the world and sets the stage for the story to unfold over multiple episodes.

Most of the video content was generated using MiniMax H3. The dialogue is in Chinese with English subtitles.

🎬 Watch the teaser / EP01 / EP02

I'd love to hear what you think, especially if you're into sci-fi worldbuilding and space-based mysteries!

Note: English is not my native language, so I used AI to help translate this post.

The Time Traveler's Tale

2026-10-24T22:00:27+00:00

This is a neo-noir sci-fi thriller I wrote and narrated myself. It follows a futuristic PI named Kira. She helps people fix problems in their past. The money is peanuts and she's pretty miserable about it all. When a mysterious woman named Janin shows up to her office late at night, she's given a lucrative but dangerous offer. Her lover has been kidnapped and sent back to early 20th century New Orleans to be killed. Will Kira take on the case even with all the inherent dangers that case presents? Check it out and let me know your thoughts: https://youtu.be/c6VuZVwAHTw

An unofficial Walking Dead fan series that begins before anyone understands the outbreak

2026-10-24T21:38:32+00:00

I wanted to try a zombie story where the characters are cut off from the usual landmarks. No hospital, no highway, and nobody on the boat even knows what a walker is yet. Just a family offshore watching the coast stop making sense.

That’s the setup for The Walking Dead: Sunday. The first two screenplay episodes are at r/THEWALKINGDEADSUNDAY. I’d be curious whether the isolation works for you as sci-fi horror, and which part of the premise you’d want explored next.

Independent Sci-Fi Trilogy Exploring the Future of Artificial Intelligence

2026-10-24T03:01:30+00:00

I'm Joe Kosednar, an inventor and electronics designer who recently published a three-book science fiction trilogy, WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN AGE OF AI.

The story explores what might happen when artificial intelligence becomes more capable than its human creators.

Can humanity maintain control? Will AI improve our lives, or will we gradually surrender the decisions that shape our future?

These questions form the foundation of the trilogy:

WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN AGE
ALL OF US
STILL HUMAN

All three books are available on Amazon, and Kindle Unlimited subscribers can read the entire trilogy at no additional cost!

You can learn more about the books on my BookBub author page:

https://www.bookbub.com/profile/joe-kosednar

I'd welcome hearing what other science fiction readers think about the relationship between humanity and increasingly capable AI.

Thanks for taking a look!
