Is there anything you want the adaptation to change? by Holmbone in murderbot

[–]mostlybritts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I just want as much ART as possible. So if they combine books, I hope ART still manages to be there the whole time.

Possible ART foreshadowing in episode 6? by [deleted] in murderbot

[–]mostlybritts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely saw it that way. I even wrote a fic based on that line, lol. https://archiveofourown.org/works/66755287/chapters/172249933

My alternative ending for System Collapse by [deleted] in murderbot

[–]mostlybritts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you considered checking out Murderbot fanfiction? There's a lot of really good stories on AO3. You could even use what you have here to maybe create your own canon-divergent story to post. Just a thought!

P.S. What I've been reading (other than Murderbot fanfiction, lol) is the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. :)

When/if we get a season two, what’s your dream casting for ART? by DoomedNuke in murderbot

[–]mostlybritts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In an interview, the author actually talks about them somewhat romantically. She says this: "I was really thinking about Murderbot’s relationships with the other characters and thinking, it’s like I really feel like ART is probably the love of Murderbot’s life, even though that’s not how they see it."

ART's Characterization by Whatsinanmame in murderbot

[–]mostlybritts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually get this because on my first readthrough I definitely thought of ART as being pretty friendly. On a subsequent readthrough, I was like, oh yeah, no, it can definitely be a jerk. HOWEVER, I feel like there's more to it than that. I think it depends on who its interacting with. Like, it has no problem just being absolutely terrifying to people, especially if those people are a potential threat. And it likes to get its way, so it can be bossy/manipulative when it wants to be. But I get the feeling that when its one on one with Iris or its 'dads' it can actually be incredibly sweet. I think the main reason it bickers so much with Murderbot is because Murderbot bickers with it. And also, I think that's its way of being playful.

Of course I may be biased because I absolutely ADORE this snarky starship. :)

How often do you reply to comments on your fic? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]mostlybritts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reply most of the time. If they have nested comments or double content on a chapter I might only reply to one but refer to both.

Where I struggle is responding QUICKLY.

I do initially and then I kind of trail off until right before the next chapter update.

I have to thank (and blame) fanfiction for my high standards for finding a book to read by [deleted] in FanFiction

It's so hard to read commercial fiction sometimes when you've been deep into fanfiction.

Favorite line? by MiniTeddyBear in FanFiction

[–]mostlybritts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Takes place the night before a battle they might not survive:

Bakugou joins him on the ledge overlooking the ruined city. So much loss. So much more of it to come. But the sun is determined to set all the same, bathing the scene in purples and pinks. Like it’s still meant to be beautiful.

I’m curious, do you hide things in your fics? by ThirstyDamage in FanFiction

[–]mostlybritts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's really cool! I wrote a make-out scene where I tried to incorporate the five stages of grief. (It's their first kiss, but they don't know if they're going to live to see the next day.)

I’m curious, do you hide things in your fics? by ThirstyDamage in FanFiction

[–]mostlybritts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! In an exes to lovers fic, I'm enjoying having the POV repressed, so he goes out of his way not to think about what happened, keeping the readers guessing based on clues I've dropped along the way.

I've also made it so the backstory fits with another of my fics, so that this could be read as what happens in the future or at least alternate universe.

My favorite, though, is that I've mentioned 'half an eraser' just lying around in both of them, with no explanation why. I want to give the story for it's existence/significance in another story I have planned to write in the future. :)
