Rover Love
Feb. 2nd, 2010 07:54 amA recent XKCD webcomic on the Mars rover kinda broke my heart : XKCD #695: Spirit.
Fortunately, fandom came along and patched it up. There are *two* fanfiction fix-its for this webcomic that I've seen. Guess I wasn't the only one brokenhearted.

"It was okay, though. The humans would come soon, and then Rover could go home."
Spirit, The Sequel bylinaerys (G)
"For three years, Spirit has followed the sun. The nights are cold and without sun she powers off, but she always comes on again when it rises. Something inside her tells her when to approach the equator, and when to switch to the other hemisphere. Mars is big, and its rocks are endlessly fascinating to her."
Does it count as RPF if it's about real robots? Maybe RRF (Real Robot Fiction)?
