Hi Riverview! I go by Ptero, and I'm glad to be joining you with Breq from the Imperial Radch books. For anyone unfamiliar, it's a space opera trilogy about sentient AI, revenge, and what happens when the ruler of an Empire tries really hard to be everywhere at once and also what happens when that ruler is forced to make difficult decisions (spoiler alert, it's bad).

Breq is a stern AI fragment on a mission that she's technically just finished at the point I've pulled her from. She'll be working in the Perimeter Guard as a Surveyor, and staying on communal housing floor 2, and I'd love to throw her at those people! Or people in general. A brief note, that Breq tends to stumble into some language faux pa wrt gender so if you'd like to avoid that please hit me up over at her permissions post.

You can also get in contact with me on my plurk ([plurk.com profile] needslineface ), or hit me up via PM, (or use one of those methods to ask for discord). I'm always down for chatting.

Okay her series sounds totally badass and I need to pick it up. Also, hi I'm Kim and I play Alex Reagan from The Black Tapes podcast. Welcome!

Not that I'm biased or anything but I'd totally recommend it. Particularly the first book, Ancillary Justice. It's got some cool world building and I love the structure of the first book since it jumps between Breq's present and past annnnnd given half a chance I'll ramble on about it, as you can see. Anyway, the author's Ann Leckie, if you want to look it up!

Nice to meet you Kim! I haven't run across The Black Tapes but I'm always looking for podcasts to add to my list .

It's okay! I think we can all ramble on about our canons and that's why we play from them. I'm definitely adding the first book to my goodreads list!

As for TBT, I feel like I should warn you that I regularly need to plurk about "wtf is my stupid canon" but it is fun!

Ahahaha, I think with a lot of story podcasts there's an element of that, but being fun is the most important part.
