Swarm Cycle Wiki Main Page

   The Swarm Cycle is a collection of stories manufactured around a concept introduced by the Thinking Horndog in which he described an alien invasion and Earth's reaction.  The intent was for this to be a multi-author universe similar to the popular Naked In School stories, but it rapidly went out of control.
   The Swarm Cycle was originally hosted at www.ASSTR.org, but as that started to fail the Thinking Horndog shifted hosting to StoriesOnLine,  As of 11/8/2024 SOL has 323 Swarm Cycle stories by 52 different authors.  Unfortunately. there were more at ASSTR.org that never got transferred.  There have also been several stories removed by their authors for various reasons.
   If you're a budding author of erotica or sci-fi and want to see if there is something here that takes your fancy, then surf to your heart's content.  If you feel that you have something to offer, Contact Us to request membership in this group and help us out by either writing new Swarm Cycle stories or adding to this wiki.
   This wiki currently has 666 articles but we always need help keeping it current.

THERE ARE NO STORIES ON THIS SITE!

   There are no stories on this site.  It's just a wiki about the stories, with background information for use by authors who wish to write stories in the Swarm Universe.  Want to read the stories? - Many are on SOL here and a static and imperfect mirror of ASSTR with older (2017 and earlier) Swarm stories can be found here

Commonly useful links

  • Learn about the Swarm Cycle Universe by using the Canon Navigation page.
  • Most characters are members of one or another service, and there is some rivalry between them.  The Marines take on the Swarm on their home worlds and think that they are the best.  The Navy fights the Swarm out in space and thinks the Marines are idiots.  The "merchant marine" Fleet Auxiliary thinks that both of them are insane, and the Civil Service just wants everyone to get along.
  • All the Swarm Cycle stories are listed in the Library page.
  • Universe-specific technical terms and slang are all explained in the Glossary

   (* The "login page" is available to anyone.  However, the 'create a login' section is only available to people who are already logged in.  Ask on the authors' group email list, or ask any of the Swarm authors through their various web sites, and we'll hook you up.  Anyone can browse the wiki and read whatever trips their trigger.  They don't need a login to read the articles.  They won't be able to edit or add pages, though, without a login. -ZM 3/29/20)


(Someday this will be a navigation template.  It will provide a bar across the bottom of each article with useful navigation links.  Until then, this is just a placeholder to get rid of all the red "broken link" indicators. -ZM User (talk) 10:00, 3 May 2024 (PDT))
