6. Autumn Endings (not started yet) - World-building -Colonists, fleeing an Earth that is so polluted they must rely on artificial wombs, land on the wrong planet. It seems like a quite hospitable spring until they discover the year is over 80 Earth years long, and the winters are too dark and cold to survive. They choose to end the race every November, and let the artificial life labs restart humanity every spring. Then a child is born naturally, one long summer. Rather than join everyone in the ritual euthanasia, she decides to escape to the warmer south, hoping to lead a return to a normal overlap of births and deaths.

I should mention that I have also written maybe 150 Flash Fiction stories of 1000 words, many of which could be expanded into short stories of 2500 words or so. And a few of which that could join together into a novel - that's how the above Autumn Endings started. Stories are here.
