Tale Recursion
Murderbot fics about media, transformative works, fandom.
Tags used in this collection:
- #The Murderbot Diaries in-universe: fics that involve Murderbot having shared its "The Murderbot Diaries" to the world
- #Characters create fanworks: fics where MBD characters create fanworks
- #Characters as fans: fics where MBD characters otherwise participate in stuff because they are Fans; visiting the stage sets of Sanctuary Moon, etc.
- #Media night: fics about consuming media. (The focus of the work, not incidental. Otherwise we would include nearly every fic.)
- #Fandom: the rest of the fics that don't fit into the above buckets, that are still very much about #FandomWhen a function calls another one, that's recursion.
When the last thing a function does is call another function, that's useful for technical reasons (compiler optimization) so it has it's own name: a "tail call"
Ergo: "Tale Recursion"(Thanks stellatedHexahedron for the baller collection title)

Summary
ART and Murderbot wanted to spend more time together, so they do. They spend it watching media in ways humans and augmented humans don't understand, and aren't capable of.
Having real feelings about fake things together is one thing.
Having real feelings about real things (like each other) and being expected to talk about them (with each other) is something very else.Bookmarked by FlipSpring

No thanks, I replied.
Um, Ratthi said, you should really take a look at this.
