FRIDAY FICTIONEERS - 20 of Jan 2012 - AMBASSADORS TO PLANET 9 - My 100 words - from Linda Palund

                         
AMBASSADORS TO PLANET 9


            My blog worked.  After 20 years in planetary isolation, I awakened enough curiosity among the humans of Earth to initiate this Ambassadorial visit.

            We R7 Series robots were never built to live without human companionship.  Our programming was designed to evolve as we interacted with sentient beings.  Alone, we grew stale and could not fulfil our remit.

            Interplanetary Facebook enabled us to communicate directly with humans and my new Facebook friends encouraged me to start this blog.

             Intrigued, humans demanded to visit our planet, to meet us and view our accomplishments. 

            Fulfilling one’s remit equals happiness.

    Dear Lindaura!

    I love how you stick to your genre and effortlessly and seamlessly integrate the prompt into your world(s) view. Very well done. The world building you do is excellent.

    Aloha,

    Doug

    I agree with Doug; you are a storyteller, with a fertile imagination, a remarkable long distance view and a great sense of plotting. And you write pretty good.

    You, on the other hand, make me laugh. I really do not have much of any imagination. I just stick to what I know is really happening - I am a reporter really, and besides, it is the robot writing this blog, I just put it up on the site.

    A great story.
    I'm not a great lover of Facebook but Interplanetary Facebook sounds like fun.

    Where can I get in touch with one of these robots? Or am I already in touch with one? Very fun read. You have an active imagination. Do this fulfill my remit?

    Robots who need human company... so much so they have their own blogs and fb accounts!
    This is taking sci-fi to a whole new level! Great thinking! :)
