[CHALLENGE] I'M IN THE MODE FOR LOVE

Writing great comments is an important part of being a great Ficleteer, wouldn’t you agree? In my opinion, nobody gets it better than THX 0477 . He’ll tell you if it’s good, bad, or worse, and so on – and his comments are useful, respectful, polite, and well said. I’m using this opportunity to honor his comments and COMMENTING in general. Look at his writing too – the best of the best… If you want to write better, the answer is to read his stuff and comment more. Enough said!

Your challenge: I’M IN THE MODE FOR LOVE

According to David Levy, Artificial Intelligence Researcher, around 2050, the state of Massachusetts will be the first to legalize marriages between robots and humans.

Your challenge is to write a story set in the year 2050, describing a romantic moment between the robot and the human…

Was it the moment they met? Was it their vows? Was it their honeymoon? Was it sexual? It’s up to you to decide…

Please mark the story “mature” if you get too descriptive. Good luck!

Strange that I had planned something like this previously, but never had the courage to have it pan out…
I suppose this gives me an excuse to try it…It will take some time though.

This may seem like science fiction, but David Levy turned his book into an academic Ph.D. thinks it’s something we’ve been moving toward for decades now. Here is the full article if you want more ideas:

What a cool challenge, and oh my goodness, I’m blushing. Such kind words for little old me. I guess now I have to do this challenge, right? Sadly, I’m way behind on my comment to ficlet ratio, so I may have to get to this tomorrow. Thanks!

Nice idea…me thinks I’ll give it a shot. I used to date a girl who behaved like a robot (cold, calculating, unemotional, Spock-like, wired, etc.) Maybe I’ll write about her.

futurama-ish….OH BENDER !! Come back, my love!!!!
this gives me some great idea’rs, I’m just so tired right now, with too many tests tomorrow, and too long of a paper to write, I can’t do it right now (trying to use excuses to cover and avoid the bare truth – writers’ block)

Definitely a hoot of a challenge. Always a testament to a good challenge when it inspires so many quality entries—I’ve read ‘em all and even did one of my own! Great stuff all around.
