Summer of Protocols

Final weekend to enter the Terminological Twists protocol sci-fi contest. Deadline April 14.

https://protocolized.summerofprotocols.com/p/terminological-twists

Select a term for a technical or procedural concept with protocolish connotations and write a short story that explores some unexpected and startling implication of the concept. Examples to consider: packet switching, boot sequence, cap-and-trade, chain of custody, kill-chain, zero-knowledge proof, multisig, social distancing, fuel partitioning, priority boarding, self-checkout, vampire sneeze, 5-second rule, first-in-first-out.

Writing with AI is so much more fun than I thought it would be. It’s a great creative sparring partner.

TLDR: it’s not just about making it easier…
