Have you read Walter Jon Williams' Aristoi?

[wytchcroft]

nope. would you recommend it???

[cowboy_r]

Given your other interests, and what you've written here? Strongly.

[wytchcroft]

cool, i'll go hunt it down - thanks :)

Such a strange and... human-like way to repair those complicated systems - bring repair team in via the human body!

I love it!

[wytchcroft]

спасибо!:))

it was when i had the flu... !!! LOL!

[stoshagownozad]

I generally like things which could not be "rationally" explained. There is no rationalidea behind this way of action - but it makes a bridge between hudge thing and nan things made by humans via human body made by at least Nature.
That is how I feel about this.

That is how I feel about this.

then my writing has really succeeded! thanks Yu :))

[wytchcroft]

certainly the term 'robot' is more, uh, opaque these days...

But on the other hand see this;

As for Eva, this story ended up being sort of Babylon Dutch in space
(i must have had unfinished business with some of that!)
so i'm glad Eva is interesting enough to keep you reading.

and thanks, as ever, for the feedback :))

haven't had a chance to read this yet, i'm gonna get around to it at some point today! the anticipation is palpable!

[wytchcroft]

well let's hope the realisation is palatable! :))

i was feeling a bit under the weather yesterday, but i could've sworn i left a comment here! i must've closed the window before sending it.

regardless, i was very impressed with this section. This is all cool to me, cuz it's the first story of yours i've read as it comes out in installments. it's like back in the day when author's would publish their short stories piece by piece in the magazine.

ok, so one question, or curiosity: whats the inspiration for Eva's name? if it's a story spoiler then, please, do not divulge.

[wytchcroft]

hey thanks! :)) and that's very kind of you

especially as i think you might enjoy my steampunk stuff more. (It's no better - just different, a bit anyway!)

ah Eva - well, like most of my names there like a gzillion puns in it. For one thing the character is part inspired by the female cosmonaut who was the first woman to do a spacewalk or E.V.A. as they're called.

Hindu mythology lists the various planets, (spheres, realms,) or Loka, of the Gods (a bit like the Qabbalah really) such as Diva Loka or Jiva Loka etc
These names recur and get used by Strindberg in his plays and crop up also in Dr Who (!). In one of those Dr Who stories (which is actually riffing off from Strindberg) the main antagonist is a character called Light.
So - geeky i know, but it doesn't mater, just how i came up with the name is all.
There's other reasons but... enough already! LOL!

And, dude - thanks again! i appreciate the comments :))

your writing is amazing. esp. loved the "mute" scene -- then fascinated/saddened that she'd only imagined it. very real. "people hearing something more than there was building connections where there weren’t any, dealing with places as relationships" -- profoundly true statement. when i have the energy, i'd love to try to help you sell some of these?

[wytchcroft]

this comment caused me to jump and down and experience GLEE, i'm very flattered. and yeah that statement, i believe it. thank you my friend - and your charming typing fingers, LOL!!:))

[betsycontent]

all is heartfelt and true. i'm happy to bring you glee! wow.!you're writing brings the same to me, :)))

[wytchcroft]

i'm not convinced people would pay for this stuff but...

*head swells*

it sure is a nice daydream :)))
