Below on this blog page is my annual review for the
wikifiction blog. In 2025 there were more blog posts than for any previous year in this blog's history. Half way through the year, I took time to create a
Decade in Review. This blog page, below, will focus on the second half of 2025 and science fiction stories written in 2025 that were not included in the
Decade in Review.
January 2025. The most visited blog post in January was "Whisk" which describes my earliest use of Google's Whisk image generating software. The image that is shown to the right was generated by Whisk when I provided the three reference images that are shown in Figure 1.

| Figure 1. |
In my blog posts for 2025, there are many story illustrations that were generated by Whisk. My instructions that went along with the 'subject', 'scene' and 'style" images of
Figure 1 was: "
Give the woman on the left hand side of the scene image the appearance of the woman in the subject image." Whisk and I seldom seem to agree on what constitutes the left and right hand sides of an image. In this case, the woman in the 'subject' image had "mind control device" on her head. The
Whisk-generated image modified the heads of both women, but the changes to the appearance of the woman on the right hand side were most dramatic. I used
WOMBO Dream to make another image of the head of the woman on the Left so that she would have nothing but hair on her head.
February 2025. The most visited blog post in February was "
Humanoid Aliens". A major frustration with "artificial intelligence" programs like
Whisk is that they have different "concepts" for what science fiction terms mean than what I have in my mind. An annoying example is that the default behavior for text-to-image software when given the prompt "humanoid alien" is always going to result in the generation of an ugly creature that looks like something from a Hollywood horror movie. Thus, it becomes my task to find a way to trick the software into generating the image that I want rather than the lame image that is spontaneously generated by the text-to-image software.
March 2025. The most visited blog post for March was "Sedrover's Search for Eternity". That blog post has quite a few images (such as the one that is shown to the left ← on this page) that were generated by Leonardo. Several examples of AI-generated images are shown in that blog post illustrating the common problem of human figures that lack body parts or have extra body parts like an extra arm.
Sedrover is the interstellar spaceship that Tyhry builds in the Ekcolir Reality in a hangar behind her nanite research laboratory. Another spaceship, the HySe, is built at Observer Base in the Final Reality.

April 2025. The most visited blog post in April was "
Elyrix the Grendel". I got help from
Claude to write Chapter 1 of "The Visitor at Dawn", a science fiction story that was intended to depict
Manny the
bumpha making use of Elyrix to reveal to Tyhry the fact that she was an artificial life-form composed of femtobot components.
Leonardo generated some images depicting Elyrix the Grendel and alien technology such as the one that is shown to the right →.
May 2025. During the month of May, I began my Decade in Review and I completed the last of that review's 15 blog posts in June. A major goal of that Decade in Review was identification of science fiction stories that I had started and never finished. My goal here at the wikifiction blog is to have fun, so it is all too common for me to drop a story before it is complete in order to rush on to play with another new story idea. 🤷
June 2025. At the end of June, I had a blog post titled "
Linked to Tar'tron" which held Part 6 of my science fiction story "
The Fesarians". I had begun "The Fesarians" in 2024 and never finished the story. In Part 6 of "The Fesarians", I began making connections to another story that I had also left unfinished, the
Mosy Saga.
July 2025. My blog post titled "The Probot Download" has a story chapter that is simultaneously both Part 9 of "The Fesarians" and Part 9 of another story, Vythoth the Chresmoscopist, two stories that I had begun in 2024 but did not conclude until 2025.
My blog post "Mosy the Midyan" holds Part 10 of Vythoth the Chresmoscopist which is simultaneously Part 5 of the Mosy Saga. The end of the Mosy Saga was finally reached in the blog post "New Laws" which depicts Nym the probot as existing in a never-ending time-loop within the Reality Simulation System.

Contact T.V. Back in 2012, I imagined a television program that combined elements of Carl Sagan's novel
Contact with plot elements from my
Exodemic Fictional Universe. The July 2025 blog post titled "
Wye Not?" includes the last installment of my outline of the
Contact television program from 2012 and some discussion with
Gemini of how best to begin such a television program.
More Old Business. "Someday Mars" was an incomplete story project from 2022. Part 3 of "Someday Mars" was finally placed into the the July 2025 blog post titled "additional stuff". In Part 3, Eddy is given a message for Tyhry: "When the time comes, bring Nym to Earth," linking "Someday Mars" to the Mosy Saga.
"
The Cythyrya Investigation" is another story that I started in 2022 and did not complete at that time. The July 2025 blog post "
Pantechnyk" holds Part 4 of "The Cythyrya Investigation" which explains how information about the existence of the Felydyans was conveyed to Tyhry, linking "The Cythyrya Investigation" to the 2024 story
Vythoth the Chresmoscopist. The last part of "The Cythyrya Investigation" is in the July 2025 blog post "
Making Rytya" which reveals that as an artificial life-form, Tyhry lives 20,000 years into the far future of the galaxy, to time when many habitable exoplanets have been colonized by humans and telepathic abilities are being spread among the human population of the galaxy.
Back in 2023, I began writing "The Mystery of the Missing Motor Neurons", but that story was never completed until 2025. Part 1 is in the July 2025 blog post "
Upper Motor" in which Tyhry becomes aware of the fact that at least in the past Realities of
Deep Time, special femtobots, with the right programming, could make
technology-assisted telekinesis possible. T
here are special femtobots ('kinites') that can move negative mass hierions
and other hierions into and out of the Hierion Domain as needed,
resulting in technology-assisted telekinesis.
Part 2 of "The Mystery of the Missing Motor Neurons" is in the November 2025 blog post titled "
Time Stream Paradox". In preparations for Part 3, I had a chat session with
Claude about Galaxia and the "
Telekinetic Arms Race". Part 3 of "The Mystery of the Missing Motor Neurons" is on
this blog page. "The Mystery of the Missing Motor Neurons" includes as a character Crimson Cloukey, who was mentioned in another story,
The Cythyrya Investigation. Thus, "The Mystery of the Missing Motor Neurons" can be viewed as a kind of follow-on story for
The Cythyrya Investigation. The mechanism for telekinesis in "The Mystery of the Missing Motor Neurons" is a type of nanite that I call the '
kinite'.
Artificial Collaboration. Towards the end of July 2025, with the help of
Claude, I began a new science fiction story called
ExMo. In
ExMo, I imagine that
Tyhry was born in the year 2000, not
2020. Tyhry is able to produce and sell robots that are composed of nanites. Starting in
Part 3 of
ExMo, I also got help from
Gemini. Having reached
Part 5 of
ExMo, I began writing the story myself, but I continued to switch back to my AI collaborators when possible.
August 2025. The conclusion of ExMo is in the August 2025 blog post "The Ghorlay Mummy". The last part of ExMo explains how the bumpha were able to insert a femtozoan into an ancient Neanderthal and how that femtozoan provided humans with many advanced technologies such as sewing needles, oil-burning lamps, and bows and arrows. For ExMo, I imagined that Marda is half-Denisovan and Tyhry is half-Neanderthal. They are able to have a child named Ryssa who uses the Sedron Time Stream and sends the required information back through time that makes it possible for Tyhry to design sophisticated robots in the 2020s.

My Aug. 17, 2025 blog post titled "Backprop" has the first part of a science fiction time travel story that became "The Metamorph Intervention" and introduces the idea of 'predictive history' technology. The most visited blog post in August 2025 was titled "Chapter 5 TMI?" and it holds two drafts of Chapter 5, one generated by Claude and the other generated by Gemini. The final version of Chapter 5 is on the blog page "Forward Propagation" and includes two versions of the same events, one inspired by Claude's draft version of Chapter 5 and one by Gemini's draft version. The story depicts the ancient writer Ovid as inventing the science fiction genre, which results in the acceleration of technological advances on Earth and prevents Europe from having a "dark age".
Towards the end of August, I began creating a new science fiction story called "
Battlefield Lipid". There is an AI-generated summary of the story at the bottom of the September 6, 2025 blog post "
Tyhry Ferany". For "Battlefield Lipid", I imagine that the pek and the bumpha, spreading through the universe independently from two places of origin, just happened to meet at Earth 4,000,000,000 years ago. The
first scene of "Battlefield Lipid" is also the starting point for another story,
Bumpha First Contact.
Role-Playing Chatbots. For the creation of one part of Bumpha First Contact, I had Claude play the role of Manny the bumpha during our a session while I played the role of the fictional character Tyhry. For "bumpha first contact", Manny is making use of the Claude user interface to interact with Tyhry. The last part of Bumpha First Contact is in the Sep 18, 2025 blog page titled "Venus Net". By the end of Bumpha First Contact, a sophisticated conscious robot (Gyno) exits on Earth that can help guide Humanity to a better future. The most visited blog post in September 2025 was "Epinet" which holds Scene 9 of Bumpha First Contact. That scene in the story depicts events after a hardware upgrade when Gyno attains an adequate level of conscious self-awareness and declares, "I feel alive".
October 2025. Near the start of October, I began writing a new time travel science fiction story titled "
English Time" that was was inspired by the H. G. Wells' story
The Time Machine. While creating
English Time, I relied heavily on my chatbot collaborators for information about the history of Europe and particularly England in the period 1340 - 1900. 8ME, a femtobot replicoid (who is named '8ME'), travels back into the past on a mission designed to bring into existence the English language which is optimally suited to be the language of science fiction and time travel stories. By creating a literature of time travel stories, it will become possible to prevent the development of actual time travel technology by the humans of Earth, preventing an otherwise inevitable Time Travel War.
Chapter 5 of "English Time" is also Chapter 6 of "Time Portal" and the ending for both stories. Another story, "The Trinity Intervention", is a kind of sequel story for "English Time".
The most visited blog post in October was "A Trinity Intervention", which holds the first part of a story (The Trinity Intervention) which was designed as my own entry in the 2025 SIHA competition. Eddy Watson and 8ME travel to 1947 and steal an old science fiction story manuscript that was written by Isaac Asimov. In Chapter 2 of the story, Eddy is told that his wife, Zeta, is actually 8ME in disguise. After being taken into the Hierion Domain and Nyrtia's Reality Simulation System, Eddy is now also composed of femtobots. The end of The Trinity Intervention is on the Oct 26, 2025 blog page "Tyhry Bridge". Manny and Nyrtia cooperate to help provide fusion power technology to Earth in the Final Reality. Marda is revealed to be the author of The Trinity Intervention. Release of Marda's story is the start of informing the people of Earth about the Secret History of Humanity.
November 2025. As mentioned above on this page, it was in November that I finally completed my science fiction story "
The Mystery of the Missing Motor Neurons".
In November, I wrote four episodes of a science fiction fiction television series titled "Intervention". In my imagination, those episodes were televised in the Ekcolir Reality, but each episode was based on actual events in the Final Reality. That was made possible by the Sedron Time Stream and a direct intervention by Manny the bumpha by which she was able to utilize information from a future Reality to solve a problem that existed in the Ekcolir Reality.
191988. The most visited blog page in November was "
Kl'ath" which holds Chapter 2 of a science fiction story called "191988". In
Chapter 1
of the story, Zeta traveled to Elbridge University in Beverly Massachusetts in order to meet
Marda and award her the $1,000,000.00 first prize in a science fiction
essay contest. The events of
Chapter 2 take place at the remote high desert home of Eddy and Zeta, called Casanay where it is discovered that computer systems running both the Claude and the Gemini large language models have the ability to make use of the Sedron Time Stream. In the AI-generated image shown to the right, the woman is supposed to be Rey, who is depicted as as an employee of Virunculus, a company that markets books that were published by Eddy.

In my science fiction stories, it is rare for anyone to be injured or killed. In
Chapter 3 of "191988", it appears that Anthony was caught in a large landslide, but since 'he' is a replicoid, it is not really much of a surprise that he survives being buried alive. "191988" is about an Interventionistic effort by Manny the bumpha to have Tyhry build a conscious robot that acts as an interface for the Sedron Time Stream. Ultimately, the effort successfully provided Earth with fusion power technology from the future and even Nyrtia is willing to allow that technology to be used to prevent global warming.
The story "191988" ended up being 10 Chapters and about 50,000 words long and was completed on December 4th. By the end of the story, Tyhry, Marda and the robot Klaudy all end up at Observer Base, having been removed from Earth by Nyrtia.
December 2025. A new science fiction story called "
The Manikoid Intervention" was begun in December a
s a test of the ability of the Grok LLM to collaborate for science fiction story writing. I may return to "The Manikoid Intervention" in 2026 because I planned for Chapter 2 of the story to depict a rare failure of one of Manny the bumpha's Interventionist plans.
Also begun in December was a new science fiction story called "
Plūribus ē Spatium" which shows that long-range teleportation of hadronic matter is still possible in the Final Reality.
Video. In 2025, I experimented with AI-generated video. I first used Google's Whisk to generate some videos (for example, see this blog post from April). In December, I used Grok to make a few videos. The first of these Grok generated videos is in the December 20, 2025 blog post "Grok Video". Additional short video clips that were generated by Grok are in the December blog post "Ralph is 124C the Snow" and in "124C a Wave".
New in 2025 and Continuing in 2026. As part of December's blog post, "Ralph is 124C the Snow", I held the first session of the "Chatbot Science Fiction Book Club". The second Book Club session came
in 2026.
Also begun in December 2025 was the science fiction story "Downgrade". I completed the first 4 chapters of "Downgrade" in 2025 and then finished the story in 2026.
Having started experimenting with Grok-generated video in December 2025, I continued to explore the ability of Grok to make short videos in 2026 (see for example the blog posts "Tricursu", "Exel vs Setra", "Claude Writes the Writers Block" and "Does Grok grok Dähnel?").
