I was reminded of this story after reading another 'Looking for a Story' post, in which the MC may be over weight, and I think Leslie Moore's "Copy. Cure." may have been the front runner

I just spent the last several hours reading and re-reading the list of author names but I just cant get Desiree and her story "The Bronze Maiden" out of my mind

https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/book/20839/desiree-jones - https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/46012/bronze-maiden-c...

Here is what I remember

I think the story is incomplete!

SCI FI
Set in future
May be Dystopian earth? (BladeRunner overtones, may be steam punk?)
Ruled by Corporations

MC is an (overweight?) hacker, (Female Persona Online?)
built a mainframe from obsolete hardware
Goes out to collect a replacement part,
has a meal at a street cafe, while waiting for contact (can't remember if this is for the part or for the meet for the exchange of info about the hack.

I believe there may be some kind of cyber interface, like in the 'Johnny Mnemonic' movie

MC is hired for a high level hack, and is in 2 minds whether to take contract
Contract turns out to be a Goldilocks trap

MC and the Corporate Fixer (I can't think of a better term) switch bodies via the net
after the Fixer and a Corporate hit team raid his apartment.

I have some other fragments that may or may not be parts of this story so I'll leave those out

The term alludes to something

The term alludes to something that is too good to be true, but like the fictional character "Goldilocks" you keep going


"REMEMBER, No matter where you go, There you are."

I found it totally by

I found it totally by accident as I was looking for Snowfall's "Nightmare Rider"

The reason I couldn't find the story was that I was looking for the wrong name for both the Author and Story Title , they were

Author - Heather M

also I stated "May be Dystopian earth? (BladeRunner overtones, may be steam punk?)!!" and the genre is called CyberPunk


"REMEMBER, No matter where you go, There you are."
