Could you help me, help you think about me?

My first completed fiction in four months appears to be more fanfiction and not even for a canon I had been trying to figure out how to write: "The Double Bluff."

It was conceived and partly written in between finishing a rewatch of Chris Boucher's The Robots of Death (1977) and reading Corpse Marker (1999) for the first time, in consequence of which it is nowhere near canon-compliant with the novel except where the infrastructure was important and the author's observations of Kaldor society accorded with my own. It is almost certainly not in continuity with Magic Bullet's Kaldor City (2001–04) or Big Finish's The Robots (2019–), either, but since I have been given to understand that neither of those series is in continuity with one another, I don't feel so bad about throwing another alternative into the ring. It is kind of a fix-it, for certain values of fix. It is very probably [personal profile] thisbluespirit's fault.

I don't think either of them really would diverge too much from this, especially not Kaldor City, which effectively follows on from Corpse Marker.
