    Summary

    Katla Collingwood. Captain, Terran Cosmic Navy. A woman who’s made herself tough as nails, all the better to be the hammer. She runs a ship as tightly wound as she is, an island of air in an ocean of void, where the only fear permitted is fear of the sovereign, the commanding officer, the all-mighty Captain. Tonight, however, she faces a foe she never prepared herself for. Tonight, Captain Collingwood faces the prospect of peace.

    For the HDG Community's Digitization December Jam 2025, this is Beta Testing, a story of transformation, self-understanding, and sweet sweet dehumanization.

    Summary

    One stayed behind. Three fled to the stars. Andy finds herself aboard the immense Affini ship Agathoxylon, sharing space with the alien, Reseda Paphinia, who started all the weirdness by abducting Taylor and force-transitioning her with a strange implant. They've seemed entirely benevolent until now, but Andy soon discovers that not all is as it seems — that Reseda means to keep Taylor as some kind of human pet, and that the Affini all seem to have that as a motivation! The clock is ticking, not just for Taylor's freedom, but for Andy's, and for all of humanity.

    HDG1999 is an AU of Human Domestication Guide, a setting created by GlitchyRobo, in which an expansionist species of plant aliens called the Affini conquer humanity and turn them into pets. HDG1999 departs from the formula by moving up the date of the Affini's arrival from the 2550s to the late 1990s. If you like 90s nostalgia, UFO weirdness, Y2k hysteria, and computers that look dangerously edible, welcome home.

    Summary

    Turned loose by the Affini with a truckload of cash and a shiny new implant in her back after being rescued from the secret OCNI facility at Groom Lake, Holly Preston has only two things on her mind. The first, to reunite with her husband; the second, to tear down the veils of secrecy and misunderstanding and tell the world who the "Petalorians" really are. But she's not the only Groom Lake evacuee who plans to be in Times Square for New Years — Andy and Taylor have a mission of their own.

    Summary

    Captured by the Office for Covert Non-terrestrial Intelligence, Dr. Andy Sharpe is offered a choice: stay in lockup, or use her medical and scientific knowledge to help the OCNI learn the secrets of the Petalorians. Hoping to find a way to free her friends, she agrees — and learns far more about the secret history of her country than she was prepared to. Taylor Wilde, meanwhile, is held incommunicado, isolated, the OCNI fearful of the implant inside her and what it could mean. Yet, even in the secret base beneath Groom Lake in Area 51, she does find a single unexpected friend, one who has plans of his own...
