A few months back I set out to see whether you can write about giant robots in long-form verse.

Still not sure I know the answer, but you can now grab the first book of Cosmic Warlord Kin-Bright on itch.io.

Ah, that's a great question! 'Fold space' as a phrase for some kind of FTL has a long history, back to Dune and I imagine probably before that. But most of the details I came up with.

Fold is a helpful and old monosyllable with at least three distinct etymologies in English: a fold in a sheet, returning to the fold, and fold-as-earth/Earth. I wanted to call Book I 'Burning X-space' because there's an early episode of Ideon called, in the English translation we have, 'Burning Null Space'.
