Cyborg Theory

[replicarter.livejournal.com]

I hope you all had an excellent weekend, class. Please pass your comparison analysis papers on Metropolis to the front of the room. Thank you.

Now, I have paired the class up in the following manner – and please move to sit with your partner, or in one case, group of three:

1) Veruca Cally, Beka Valentine

2) Lee Adama, Sharon Valerii

3) Bridge Carson, Sam Carter

4) Charlie Kawalsky, Aeryn Sun

5) John Crichton, Anakin Skywalker, Kara Thrace

For your next assignment – due in two weeks – I want you to write delicious crackfic a fictional story of your own focusing on some aspect of cyborg theory. It must make an argument pro or against human to cyborg and/or android relations (of any kind – political, social, romantic, etc).

By the end of class, I want you to have discussed with your partner the nature of the story you would like to write and whether it is to be pro or against human/cyborg/android relations.

If you have any questions, I'll be at my desk. Now get to work.


[Yes, and I actually want you very talented writers to actually do this. Fanfiction and/or crackfic – or original fiction, yay, -- is required, zomg, in two weeks. No word limit. I highly recommend www.writely.com for collaborative fiction.]

But...they're *writing*, not building. RC is totally evil! (but very, very lovable).

Writing leads to building.
Building leads to the dark side mysterious junk-food-spouting machines.

Okay. So are we writing a short story with robot prototype as an illustration? *g*

And I think today's shop class assignment is very much right up Bridge's alley.

*snerk* A cyborg that spits jellybeans at inopportune moments?

And shop! It involves food! Yes! Sadly, in my rush to get something done before running off to real-life-class I was horribly uncreative. Woe :(

*flails* why does it keep posting my comments at the bottom?
