A series featuring a nano-civilization developing in the leakguards of an enormous diaper.
Here are the original descriptions for each part:
Page 1: Starport Bravo
A pair of star cruisers land at the site of newly-constructed colonial city. Hundreds of disembarking passengers take in the strange atmosphere of their new home. This alien world, discovered by autonomous scouting probes, was selected as an ideal environment for human civilization to thrive. The colonists could see that the landscape was white, like snow. However, they were surprised to feel the warm, humid air of a more tropical biome as they left the ship.
----------------------

The strange white alien landscape continued for miles beyond the star port. Like an unblemished lunar surface, no vegetation could be seen anywhere.
Miraculously, the land was made of some sort of polymer, and was mined easily to derive manufacturing materials and even fuel. Metals would need to be sourced elsewhere, but water was abundant below the white mountains nearby and pumped with massive pipelines to the colonial cities to be purified.
Even stranger than the pure white land, were the enormous brown towering structures in the far distance. One appeared near the arrival star port like a rocky range of mountains.
-------------------------
Page 3: Bravo Valley
This colonial city is situated in a large valley in the white landscape. The enormous earthy towers crisscross high above in the sky, forming a sort of cage protecting and concealing the colonies, another feature of the site deemed desirable by the scout probes. Perhaps a hidden and defensible world like this would finally mean some hope for peace for a civilization with a long history of invasion and strife.
------------------------
Page 4: The Strange Continent
High above the world’s surface, the various colonial cities can faintly be seen nestled in the valleys of the vast white continent. The white mountains from which the life-sustaining water is pumped are seen rising countless miles into the sky. The sheltering towers are grouped in the thousands, forming a forest spanning thousands of miles.
------------------------
Page 5: The New World from “Space”
Now thousands of miles above, the colonial cities appear as mere specks on the world’s surface. The topography of countless ravines and mountains appear like mere wrinkles in some kind of garment. The once-imposing towers of earth in the forest can now be identified for what they truly are: millions of hairs in a reddish-brown coat of fur. Perhaps the new home world of the unsuspecting colonists was not a planet at all, but rather an incalculably-enormous mammal?
------------------------
Page 6: "Planet" Kaisak
At last, the true nature of this world is revealed: an otter named Kaisak lounging in his bedroom. To the microscopic civilization, Kaisak would appear larger than most planets with a height of 74,000 miles. A scale that made even the elastic leg gathers on the otter’s diaper a place with enough area and resources to build entire cities. A diaper, even a planet-sized one, was the most dubious site that the civilization had ever unwittingly picked. If Kaisak could have been aware of the nanos settled in the folds of his diaper, he would have been flattered, given them a warm welcome, and then recommend methods of relocating to somewhere less...disposable, maybe?
Agreed, lol. Definitely the wildest idea I've ever had, there admittedly isn't much "micros exploring planet-sized diaper" stuff out there. This was the first piece I've done where I thought "Yeah, I might be charting new territory with this one."

I really like the idea and the concept behind it, especially there is far too little that deals with the subject of whole civilizations that are in a diaper~
even if the civilization did not know where it was first, and first thought it was a planet, I wonder if you would encounter the first time the sex of the sea otter, in addition to the fact that I am the whole civilization in a giant diaper and then have to determine with in sentences what the diaper is actually there, and if the sea otter then times urgently needs to relieve himself what then happens to the whole civilization~
