Of course, proud to share "Affinity Gradient" by Miah O'Malley. But also loved reading "Singularities" by Cressida Roe (at Kaleidotrope) and "Ghosts of Summer" by Catherine Tavares (at Apex).

It's grating to me to read the term "AI" in sci-fi. Not that there shouldn't be a term, or stories with AI. Just seeing the same two letters in every story feels like reaching into a closet for the same coat hanger to hang an idea on when we're looking for new ideas of what it even is (or could be).

When you've completed your story, pat yourself on the back. Not an easy feat.
Now, return to your opening line. This line got you, the writer, to write. But the reader probably needs a different door into your story.
Thank your opening line for its help. Now re-buid the story entrance for readers.
