I'd be curious about the premise / idea / notion for these two.
星殖民地：新中国 (Star Colony: New China)
It is the year 2222 as we today would know things, or year 121AFC, which stands for After First Contact. Slightly more than a century ago humanity achieved the ability to enter hyper space and promptly was told to join the Galactic Union of Federated Races or be blown off the face of the galaxy. They were much more advanced than we were, and not especially nice or friendly, but nothing unites human beings like an outside threat, and we swiftly put aside our differences and became a unified species for the first time. However we had learned from our own mistakes and did not try to fight them setting up embassies on the outskirts of NYC and after a while we learned something useful: few, in fact almost NO races could live on the same types of planet. With the grudging help of the other races of the federation we found a dozen worlds across the galaxy that we could colonize and Terraform, and set about putting together colony ships to go do that. One of them, dubbed "新中国" or "New China" due to it's geophysical similarity to a lifeless central China, is where I and my friends were sent after we volunteered for the colony mission. The old nations of the earth are not in charge any more, though there are a disproportionate number of Chinese men and women on this mission, but I am from the USA, which has gotten a lot calmer with 200 more years of self rule under it's belt. I am part of the colony mission, and headed out into the unknown, along with millions of others, but I have a small group that I am close with, there are five of us, friends since grade school, two Chinese/Americans, two European/Americans, and one African/American. We signed on together in a drunken dare after graduating from Pennsic Community College, and now, much more sober, are in a lander together heading down to the surface of "New China" as a fully trained "Surveying and Transforming" team. What adventures and romances will the five of us find on the surface of this strange new world? Welcome to 星殖民地：新中国.
The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald (A Tale of the 'Verse)
It is the year 2532, 15 years after the events of "Serenity". In the Wake of the "Miranda Wave" public outcry on the Core Worlds has completely restructured the Alliance and ousted it's former leadership. Among other things this has led to groups of legal but freelance salvagers and wreck divers. The protagonist is a member of one such group, and when they pick up the salvation beacon of one "Edmund Fitzgerald" three weeks out between Whitefall and Beumond they decide to go have a looksee, might be survivors to pick up, and if not, there's no rules against hiding the good stuff till they can come back with a Writ of Salvage. What they find onboard, well, it's the stuff of legends and nightmares... (Important note: this story is largely non-erotic, any sex that occurs will happen only when logically demanded by the plot and is incidental to the main thrust of the tale. If it does happen it will be suitably steamy however...)
