So happy to share with you: the first scifi story I've ever sold, appearing today in Strange Horizons!
Contains:
- robots
- cryogenic exoplanets
- linguistics
- beeping

@lunchgirl Thank you so much! I've heard from linguists who read it who said, yeah, that could totally happen. And then started thinking about information density and phonemes
