Cannon Fodder, by Eric Alexander Arroyo. Queer mecha pilots in love during wartime. Got it for the sci-fi library; we have now purchased all three printings of this, haha.
Maintenance, by Cryptozoology. “What if a robot liked it when their creator performed upkeep on them (in a sexual way) and they were both girls???” Grabbed for sci-fi library.
Silhouette, by L/V. Navy blue Riso robot porn. May also end up in sci-fi library because the art is so gorgeous.
Reccer's notes: Probably one of the more sinister takes on virtual idol character as literal AI/Robot! Several commenters note that the "cult leader" character Teto plays is probably a LLM - albiet one that has, within the fiction of the song, possibly achieved true sapience. (Has it literally taken over a physical body, or is this just how metaphorically conceptualizes its relationship to humans? People using the LLM as a "confession booth" or life advisor, becoming emotionally dependent on it.) Examine elements like the back wall of the church being a circuitboard, the conversations resembling ChatGTP conversations, the four pointed star imagery looking like the logo for Google Gemini, and recurring concepts in the lyrics themselves. Considering how common "megalomaniac AI" has been as a trope in sci-fi for decades now, I'm surprised it took the current "AI" bubble for me to see a vocal synth character portrayed as one.
I'm curious about other people's interpretations of the song and MV!
Rogan: holy shit guys, the color version of Coming In or Staying Out came out GORGEOUS. Just Right Press did an amazing job and I will absolutely be hiring them again! I cannot wait to put it up for sale and show it off!

On Saturday December 6, 10:30-2 and 4-6 PM, Sunday December 7, 11-2, we aretabling with the Boston comics Roundtable at table 32 at MICE! Sorry for the double post, but we got an extra shift!
I don't know what sort of greenhouse the downstairs neighbors are running, but they are practically heating our own apartment for us. It is 20 degrees outside, we have YET to turn on the heat.
Through luck, we have ended up with the warmest room in the apartment. We wake up in the morning bathed in sunbeams and radiance. The heat is off, and I am comfortable just wearing a sweatshirt--no gloves no hat. It's a little rough in the summer, but right now, I am blessing those downstairs tropical neighbors.
Hey everybody, it's that time again: time to vote for which stuff gets the LiberaPay/Patreon money this month!
As always, anyone can vote (please do!), but LiberaPay and Patreon patrons get double weight for their votes. (Due to Patreon's porn purges, I really encourage you to use LiberaPay, if you get a choice.) If you want to see the blurbs for any of these works, those are here! (You can also leave your requests there; requesting a story or essay is always free!) If you don't have a DW and so can't do the poll, that's okay; just leave your vote in the comments below; anon comments are turned on.
Which works gets the money, and thus posted this month? YOU CHOOSE, readers!
Okay. Our health has been kinda rough and the fan poll and Patreon perks are a bit delayed, but hell or high water, we will be dragging our carcass through a couple shifts at the Boston Comics Roundtable (BCR) table at the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo (MICE) this weekend:
Saturday, Dec. 6, from 10:30-2
Sunday, Dec. 7, from 11-2
MICE is at the Fuller Building at Boston University (808 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA), off the Green Line.
If all goes well, we will be debuting Coming In or Staying Out, the color edition, at MICE! (As in, we will be frantically stapling and folding it as you arrive, having picked it up from another tabler at opening.) Here's the sneak peek pics the printer sent us that we've been sitting on for a week due to computer breakage!
It's being printed in violet and bubblegum pink on ivory paper. Exciting!
EDIT: also, I discovered that apparently all this time, the paperback of Infinity Smashed: Found Wanting had been set to international shipping rates. Eesh. We have reset the shipping to proper rates. I don't know how we fumbled it so badly, but at least it's fixed now. (And the person who ordered a copy even at that nosebleeding sum has gotten a partial refund to bring the shipping down to domestic rates.)
