Humanity, Fuck Yeah! It was a subreddit that focused on a subsection of Science Fiction, where humanity is frequently not the underdog at all.

Hambone is the author of The Deathworlders series, also referred to as The Jenkinsverse.

That "chapter" got posted and Hambone forgot about it for five years, then came back and posted a chapter a month for seven(?) years to turn it into a book. It's a long book.

He did this because at least three other authors wrote their own stories in the universe he created.

Salvage (this one is only canon until Adrian attempts to "blow up" a black hole. Something like chapter 73 or so. Jennifer Delaney, the main female protagonist, makes an appearance in The Deathworlders)

Humans Don't make good pets ( Canon, but we never meet the unnamed main protagonist in The Deathworlders)

The Xiu Chang Saga (Totally canon, and Xiu becomes one of the main characters in The Deathworlders)

All of these can also be found as audiobooks, in varying degrees of completion, on YouTube. There's also a guide somewhere as to when all this stuff takes place. A large amount of it takes place between chapters 0 and 1 of The Deathworlders.
