Tale Recursion
Murderbot fics about media, transformative works, fandom.
Tags used in this collection:
- #The Murderbot Diaries in-universe: fics that involve Murderbot having shared its "The Murderbot Diaries" to the world
- #Characters create fanworks: fics where MBD characters create fanworks
- #Characters as fans: fics where MBD characters otherwise participate in stuff because they are Fans; visiting the stage sets of Sanctuary Moon, etc.
- #Media night: fics about consuming media. (The focus of the work, not incidental. Otherwise we would include nearly every fic.)
- #Fandom: the rest of the fics that don't fit into the above buckets, that are still very much about #FandomWhen a function calls another one, that's recursion.
When the last thing a function does is call another function, that's useful for technical reasons (compiler optimization) so it has it's own name: a "tail call"
Ergo: "Tale Recursion"(Thanks stellatedHexahedron for the baller collection title)

Summary
"Secunit, you need a hobby that isn't just watching serials."
And that's how I accidentally started a social feed account with a cult following. It's not my fault humans have an obsession with my opinions.aka Murderbot discovers space twitter and commits crimes against corporate entities (ART is helping!)
(Rated T for sad SecUnit flashbacks)
