5.0
My favourite pieces in this issue were:
Vina Jie-Min Prasad- “Fandom for Robots”: Basially an old-fashioned/outdated robot discovers an anime with a similar dated robot in it and starts writing fanfiction. A whole lot of humor and sweetness.
"Let Me Tell You" by Cecilia Tan rocked it in the non-fiction essay section this time around. Their essay challenges the old 'show vs tell' adage and examines it in the context of SFF that doesn't fall under standard 'literary' white male genres. Recommended read.
