Slipped in while nobody noticed: Journal Entry 284/03261, <a href="http://www.drizzle.com/~elf/journ

While nobody was looking, and without proceeding fanfare, another story has escaped into the wild: the sequel to the August 31st, 2002 (auuughh! Has it really been so long?) Honest Desires is now available: Journal Entry 284/03261, Honest Response (14,040 words), is now available. It's got robots, it's got lesbians, it's got lesbian robots!

The Journal Entries: Any resemblence to the actual future would be cool!

That's mostly deliberate. To Linia, it is the "51st" century (actually, that's a typo; it should be the 52nd) since she's still using a Terran/Western calendar. Characters who use the Pendorian calendar would say "The 33rd century" (the Pendorian calendar starts around 1884 Terran/Western and deliberately tracks one-to-one, although both Pendor and Terra drift and by this time there's an 18 month difference between the two). Misuko would refer to Linia's manufacture time as "The 6th" century, and Linia would refer to it as "the 26th century."

To Linia, she was deactivated in 2496 CE; but in Misuko's calendar that would be about 612 PSC (Pendorian Standard Calendar).

Ahh, I see. I didn't pick that up, but it does make sense. I was not reading thoroughly, since it was a reread just to get the context for the new story, so I could have missed things that would have made it clear. Thanks for the explanation.
