1 Lise by D M Arnold

Lise is a young female Novo Homonid or Novonid, an artificial humanoid species created on Planet Varada for slave labor. Novonids have green, chlorophyll-rich skin to derive nourishment from sunshine which makes them perfect fieldworker slaves. As the Novonid population increases, the Varadans are finding Novonids useful for low- and no-wage urban labor. Lise comes of age while living in the Green Zone, a Novonid ghetto, as tensions between Humans and Novonids threaten to become violent.

3 The Six-Eyed Beast by BenLepp

The opening act of a true space opera. A cynical officer whose career wasn't exactly going great is given a shot at glory and accepts for the wrong reasons. A ship that should not even exist finds itself circling the changeover of eras, the good times have passed and the storms are approaching. A galactic alliance on the brink of a new age, the many parts that make its whole unaware of each other. A hastily-gathered crew learning to become a unit, not by choice, but by necessity.

5 The Box on the Shelf by TMax

A story in the Superheros and Aliens Universe
You've been dying since before you could read. You just don't remember most of it. Home alone and bored, a kid spots a dusty box with a crayon smiley face on the highest shelf, and nothing is going to keep him from it, not even the furniture tower it takes to get at it. A short, funny, strangely tender twist on the origin story for a young internal superhero.
