''[[Unichat]]'' is a text-based [[Web Comic]] about a group of people who communicate on a chat program called Unichat (with the entire comic consisting of their fictional chat logs). It is set in the near future, starting in the year 2089 and featuring a lunar colony where the character Sonja (alias SonjaOfTheMoon) lives. The plot is currently unclear, but is "going to be quite epic in scope" according to the [http://unichat.thecomicseries.com/faq/author in a now-missing FAQ].

* [[Our Graphics Will Suck in Thethe Future]]: Despite the comic being set in the year 2089, text-based chat is still used... Even between space ships. [http://oldunichat.thecomicseries.com/comics/22 The author's explanation for this was "mudkips".]{{Dead link}}
* [[Space Pirates]]: Lead by a man known only by his Unichat handle "Admiral Pancake". They were seen attacking a shuttlecraft carrying Sonja's family when they were going to Earth for shore leave.
* [[Theme Naming]]: The pirate [[Evil Minions|underlings]] use Unichat handles consisting of a word that starts with "s" and "conspirator". The exception is slenderconspiratrix, who has a slightly different name to designate that she is female. This convention came from the author's friend posting a comment as "silentconspirator" (as did the entire idea of having the underlings as full characters).
* [[Writing Byby the Seat of Your Pants]]: The FAQ says so.
* [[Webcomic Time]]: Subverted - There are time-stamps on most comics.
* [[Weirdness Censor]]: On occasion, usually related to the pirates.
