Azlan Tahir and Adely Ariffin are co-founders of a Malaysian Science Fiction Community which is called The Unity Macroverse. It is a Malaysian Community of Sci-Fi story contributors from members through a large canvas ,created with the intention of inviting and engaging like-minded individuals, groups, organizations, etc., to participate and contribute to a world-building experience. The premise was created within the genre of Science- Fiction with the intention of encouraging interest in this area.

The premise of Science-Fiction is coupled with an Alternate Timeline that goes back to the 13th Century and is centered around Asia. The fundamental “what if” in UNITY relates to the Treasure Ships of the Ming Dynasty which is further elaborated in the following UNITY wiki. Click here to find out more about the UNITY History!!!

The central characters in UNITY are Asian but is focused within the region of South East Asia. We commenced our story telling of the UNITY Universe through Graphic Novels. The intention was to allow an easier flow into the story canvas that we were building. Most of the major characters were introduced in the first three Graphic Novels through Marooned, these were followed up with the other five titles.

As the Graphic Novels progressed we began to introduce other story medium with lowered barriers to enter as we saw that Community was beginning to insist on participating in growing the story canvas. We eventually ended up with Micro Stories, and eventually to the Short Stories.

We have now begun converting our stories into Paperback.
