Fandom for Robots by Vina Jie-Min Prasad This story is adorable. Computron is robot who lives in a museum and answers questions form the general public as part of an exhibit. His existence is rather boring until one day he’s asked a question about an anime series with a robot character. Read this if you like robots and/or fandom.

“The Influence of the Iron Range” by Marissa Lingen (Content note: elections) I mentioned this story briefly before but I wanted to say a little more about it. This historical fantasy discuses free and fair elections and who gets to vote.

I’ve just finished reading The Prisoner of Limnos by Lois McMaster Bujold This the latest Penric novella and I my favorite in the series so. (You could start here the plot would make sense but if you want the character arcs I’d recommend starting at the beginning.) Its got a heist and family members looking out for each other and lots and lots of feelings.

That first link is not working correctly.

Thanks for the rec of "Fandom for Robots." (As Isis said, the link isn't working, but pasting the title and author into a search bar got me there; I'm guessing there aren't a lot of people with that exact name writing in English.)

Thanks, should be fixed now.

Glad you liked. (Just fixed the link)

I also loved Fandom for Robots - so lovely and just what I wanted at the time. Remind me, have you read How to Be a Robot in 12 Steps?
