for The Sane Writer's Guide To: Robots in Fiction7/5/2016 c1 AbyssScript
Hahaha. Lovely little piece you have here. Though I haven't posted it on this site, I actually have a story in my collection for which the protagonist is a robot. Created by the master of the house, Bronze is an "inferior model" to her predecessors, Gold and Silver. The story actually begins on the day when the master manages to imbue her with a "soul" to conduct a secret investigation. As Bronze is the only robot who has been confined to the manor and is considered an inferior model, he had decided her to be the guinea pig for the experiment (currently outlawed by the government).
For the idea, I actually have to give credit to my partners in my drama class a few years back, for the skit we were inspired to in fulfilling a certain "mime" requirement. Of course, that idea was in regards to humans, not robots, but the relationship between Bronze and the master is similar.
However, I have to admit I never quite realized how many topics I was addressing with this story until I read this Guide. And yes, one of the ideas is that of romance, I'll reluctantly admit. Thanks to this, I'm tempted to go ahead and post it, just to see the kind of response I'll get.
Thank you very much. Keep up the good work in the future please.

Thanks for this! I was trying to find some sort of critical analysis and tips for writing about robots. There is surprisingly few suggestions out there. I still have a lot of questions, but your discussion of humanity really helped as a jumping off point!

I'm working on a sci-fi of my own. The theme being that robots simply follow through on their programming, but humans are no different either. Our programming is carbon based instead of silicon and humans just like to romanticism consciousness as something special, while it's really just boils down to sufficiently advanced thought processes.
Should I run with it?

Very interesting. I may have to come back here if I ever decide to add robots to my story.
On a completely unrelated note, I found a typo. you wrote "dis" instead of "is"
_
is all of the true feeling on the human side, or dis the human just using the robot?

So many valid points..my brain is on stimulus overload. That's a good thing by the way. At least to me. Now I feel the unparralleled need to write a story about robots.
