Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
05 Jul 2021
Tags
Summary
The meta-tags popped up when I scanned the file; it looked like some kind of self-contained background routine, written and locked for my use. Which was weird, because I had asked ART to help look over some of my targeting code yesterday but we were already done with that.

Bookmark Notes:
Quite short and fluffy presentation of an interesting idea. Glad Dr. Calvin never had write-access to positronic brains, though. It’s not an ability she (or any of Asimov’s characters) could be trusted with. Which probably hints at something interesting about the changing cultural definition of psychology and mental health.

Summary
In the twelve years since the Chiyan case, Jingyan has made no mention of the Chiyan Fleet, Lin Shu, Prince Qi, or anyone else killed in the conspiracy. Mei Changsu has waited for that final proof while he gathered his secrets and lined up his pawns, but now he can't wait any longer: he has to know what Jingyan's true feelings are before he arrives in Jinling. So he arranges an ambush on his own ship in order to meet with him. Will Jingyan help him bring justice to his army of dead – or does he believe justice has already been served?

Nice use of technology. The background hints of ancient predecessors are also tantalizing.

5 Times the Raptors Tried to Kill Miriam, and 1 Time They Didn’t by JulisCaesar
Fandoms: Jurassic Park (Movies)
12 Nov 2015
Tags
Summary
Miriam thought the job working for InGen sounded perfect. Tropical island, good pay, first dibs on publications… At least, she thought so until she found out that she was the only behaviorist on staff. Once the eggs hatched, it became all she could do to keep up–with the dinosaurs, the science, and her health.

Bookmark Notes:
A hard-SF take on Jurassic Park. Specifically the sciences are animal behavior, wildlife biology, and zookeeping, all of which is informed by current paleontology on Deinonychus. Also the characters are well-drawn.

Bookmark Notes:
This is more literary than most other works in the collection in style but I think the understated worldbuilding qualifies it as a proper fantasy story in addition to being magical realism.
Edit (2021): I recently wrote a rec for the fic:
To be pretentious about it, “The Source of Distant Rivers, the Sound of Distant Guns” has the most literary merit of any fic I have ever read. FYI, it’s definitely Hamilton fic, not historical RPF — the conceit literalizes the musical’s “Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?” theme. Nonetheless the story works just as well when read as historical RPF. The story is beautiful and atmospheric and haunting. It’s also a very melancholy, being set in the last few days of the revolution’s loss. It is a genuinely good work of literature in addition to being a good fanwork.
There’s also an inspired-by sequel by someone else, but it suffers by comparison. On its own it’s a perfectly good piece of historical fantasy, but it’s not great like scioscribe’s original.

This recording came over our radio on a frequency that rarely picks up anything. As you can tell, it’s very likely a prank, and I’m sorry if you deem it a waste of time. Maybe Dr. Bradshaw thought you’d get a kick out of it.
