Something a bit different: my #Upto99Fanworks fic, a post-canon piece for Vina Jie-Min Prasad's wonderful sci-fi short story. You can read that story here: https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/fandom-for-robots/. It's less than 5000 words and I strongly recommend it!

I was really happy to write about Computron and bjornruffian having further adventures together. ❤️

Computron feels no emotion towards the animated television show titled Hyperdimension Warp Record (超次元 ワープ レコード). After all, Computron does not have any emotion circuits installed, and is thus constitutionally incapable of experiencing “excitement,” “hatred,” or “frustration.” It is completely impossible for Computron to experience emotions such as “excitement about the seventh episode of HyperWarp,” …
