Space Funding Crisis
In space, nobody can hear you apply for funding ...
Persister: Space Funding Crisis I
In theory, getting funding for research in the 45th century is easy. You just fill in a few thousand forms and send it to the most powerful force in the galaxy - the Central Academic Funding Coucil Administration - then cryogenically freeze yourself while you wait for a decision. But Dr. Karen Arianne did not expect to be frozen for 153 years.Now, she has been woken from chryosleep to solve a mystery. Someone is murdering cultural evolution researchers, a critical field in a pan-galacitc community where languages change faster than messages take to reach their destinations.
Who would want to kill researchers? Can she trust the Administration? What are the mysterious Bloggeration planning? Will she ever get a job?
Satire that puts the pace in space opera, the fun in academic funding and the itch in hyper-niche.

Praise for Space Funding Crisis Vol. I:
★★
"I read 12% before putting this book away. I found the premises unrealistic and too centered on academics to be believable."
"Would benefit from the inclusion of characters."
"It has to be said, this isn't a very good book, something the author has acknowledged to some extent by making it free."
"I mean, if you expect a Nobel prize for literature or a gripping global story like Stepehen Baxter's Flood then better not even start reading it."
"LMAO"
Resister: Space Funding Crisis II
Right across the galaxy, people have started to speak the same language, and nobody knows why. Sounds like a job for Karen G. Arianne. Or at least a part-time post-doc.Resister is the sequel to Persister, the only comedy sci-fi story about academic funding to be listed under the 'Fiction' section of the Wikipedia page on Cultural Evolution (briefly).
