Earth: The Fatal Frontier
Earth Technology was no match for the might of the Federation's Advance Research Corps. Humans - those who survived, at least - preferred the term 'Invading Space Army', amid protests about being experimented upon. The Alien scientists found their quibbling about the ethics of non-consenting test subjects tedious, but admitted that the natives were best suited to help the research teams navigate this Deathworld.Vera was absolutely holding a grudge over the massacre of the facility where she worked, but you didn't survive weekly team productivity meetings without learning how to hide emotion and fake compliance. She wasn't a wildlife expert, but the Australian sense of humour bred a wealth of knowledge on how to inflict wildlife on unsuspecting foreigners...The real battle for Earth's liberation wouldn't be fought between armies, but by a scattered handful of survivours fuelled by spite and a basic knowledge of how to survive a world where everything is designed to kill you.

You may have run into the Tumbler/Reddit collections of #HumanAreSpaceOrcs and the like. Ms. Rose took that prompt and ran with it as only an Australian can do.
This light short story explores multiple points-of-view around the planet fighting back an invasion by "welcoming" the aliens and helping them explore the bio-diversity of our planet. From Kangaroos to Ghost Peppers. Up close. The more up close the better.
Not quite as funny as the full Tumbler group of posts - but then 3 sentences of the funniest thing a person thought in a day time twenty people is hard to compete with. But a coherent story of how to chase the invaders off a planet is nice. - I guess this is like the difference between a movie and a book - different formats.
****
Second Read 8/17/2021 - Still delightful. #HumansAreSpaceOrcs
Fun take on a story I always wanted to see done.

EARTH: FATAL FRONTEIR is a fun little story about an alien attack on Earth.
Unfortunately for the aliens, while they defeated the armies of Earth, they are poorly equipped to deal with the weather, let alone the animals, insects and plants.
The surviving humans work together through social media to exploit the weaknesses of the aliens.
It was a lot like a Stephen King book. The concept was great - brilliant, even - but it felt it hadn't been edited enough to get the best out of the story. It all felt rather undercooked.
I do hope that the author keeps writing, she is clearly talented and has the one thing a lot of writers lack - imagination. I just hope they take the time to make their next book as good as possible before they publish it.
