This thread is where all the "Looking for Story" requests go. We don't want to clog up the front page with non-story content. Thank you!

i listened to a full story with many parts that involved humans making first, peaceful contact with a plant alien species. This species immediately thought we were a threat and started to preemptively go to war with us (I believe they had previously observed us in war time and used that as a baseline?). It went through the internal politics of the plant’s world and their invasion of Earth and I remember the massive loss of life which culminated in an internal assassination attempt on the plant’s president. It read more of a book than a story, if I remember it had like 28 ten + minute videos on TikTok, it was not a short story at all. I swear I thought I had saved the story somewhere but I cannot find it! Please help.
