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 4/30/2024 SOL has 322 Swarm Cycle stories. Unfortunately. there were more at ASSTR.org that never got transferred.  There have also been several stories removed by their authors for various reasons.

   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.
