Four Fics and a Discussion about Robot Feelings

[thenewbuzwuzz]

Feelings felt by robots.

To start off, I thought this discussion about "nonhuman people" went to an interesting place:
Re: Do you think the Buffybot qualified as a person? by buffy-truths, wishiwasmorticia, dreamsofghostsandstars

This poignant supermarket story may have shaped my Buffybot headcanons forever back when I first read it:
Still Some Bugs to Work Out by me_llamo_nic (Buffybot, G, ~600 words)

This is a brilliant in every way, from the rarepair to the POVs:
Patchwork Girls by punch_kicker15 (April/Buffybot, M, 729 words)

This is fascinating to me as the least cute Bot story I've ever read (even taking into account the hilarious dialogue tags in the flashback scene), and it introduces a perspective I haven't noticed elsewhere:
Reinvention by an author who has since chosen to orphan the work (Buffybot/Spike, explicit, mind the warnings, 706 words)

And this is a longer Spikebot story with grief, suspense, funny jokes, *and* intense weirdness, though robot feelings only appear in part of it:
Turing Test by Dutchbuffy (Spike/Buffy, explicit, 21,191 words)

Oh, what a wonderful list. And April/Buffbot is just inspired! Can't wait to read these.
