If Miranda had her own theme what do you guys think it would be?


Short Skirt/Long Jacket by Cake Yes, it's the theme song from Chuck but the lyrics to the song fit Miranda pretty well.


As for the romance, Maybe I'm Amazed bu Paul McCartney

Speaking of twitter:

"Who did you romance in your playthrough? (All games applicable) If no one - why not?"

Might be a good time for another round of #FindMiranda tweets too


Done, sir! <o_

Cherry Bomb or Innocent Smile by Ash spring to mind for some reason.

Lyrics-wise, Learn To Live With What You Are by Ben Folds could work. :P

I'd have to give it some more thought.

"Resistance" by Muse is a great song for the Shepard and Miranda romance. The lyrics go along so well with it.

Agreed, it's funny I thought of the same thing about this song :)
"Invincible" by Muse fits well too.

Giving their possible bittersweet end, I'd go with Band of Horses, "No One's Gonna Love You"

And already tweeted to @masseffect. :)

Edit: @hot_heart I just started reading your fic, I'm at chapter 3 and so far I'm finding it amazing, I really liked your idea of writing something from Miranda's perspective during the events of ME3. I thought about doing something similar like that when ME3 launched or writing a fic telling about Miranda's past, how she joined Cerberus and stuff like that, but I never even started writing so I'm really glad that you did that and a lot better than I would. I'll give a better review at fanfcition.net when I finish reading.

Maybe you can write about Miranda's past after you're done. ;) I'm actually inspired to do that right now, but that could be tricky.

Oh, thank you very much! It's always nice to hear. :D

I hadn't actually considered writing more ME/fanfic stuff. This was an exercise that grew into something much larger. It may be a thought though, if I do ever want more practice.

If you are after stuff about Miranda's past, I know someone has been writing one called The Prodigal. I've fallen a little behind with my reading (I may take a break from writing to catch up on that) but it looked pretty good from what I had read.

And I'd be interested to see what you do write. Seeing other people's perspectives on things is always good.

Thank you, I'll take a look at that fic you recommended. :) I plan on getting started, the problem is finishing and for me it's a bit hard writing in English since it's my second language, would be nice having a beta. I wrote a fic once, nothing fancy just an agsty one-shot about Shep/Miri, but after re-reading it I got a little embarrassed by the amount of mistakes I made and I am too lazy to fix them.

I'll try to get started, but I'll be asking the people here to help me a bit with details from Miranda's past. Let's see if I can get past the first chapter.

Yeah, in one thread the other day, I saw someone who had almost completely misunderstood the character, but it was enlightening to see why.

I think I find it easier to dissociate what the writing team and the animation team are doing, possibly due to my background, though I can see why others might not.

p.s. any tips on how to work ass-shots into a story told from Miranda's perspective? I'm asking for a friend...

Of course! It was a joke that sort of ran off from what I was saying before.

Ok...

If it ran by me, the humor was too subtle.

Hehe. Maybe.

Basically, I was saying that people think Miranda is all about looks because of how the animation team portray her, which can be working at cross-purposes with what the writing team is trying to do.

Then I mentioned ass-shots.

With the exception of Jack and Enyala in ME2 (Which even then is only 1 comment), I don't remember anything in the writing that suggests Miranda is all about the looks.

But all the "Dat ass" or "Miranda's so boring! People only like her cuz she's hawt!" comments are f***ing annoying.

That's why it's at cross-purposes with the animation (ass-shots, etc.) which is about the looks, i.e. doing the opposite.

Oh. I looked at that part of your post, but didn't absorb anything form it. Goddamn it.

I boil it down to some horny animator thinking he's slick, but everyone else thought it was funny (hint: it isn't).

In all honesty, I'm not sure that's an aspect of the character that one would necessarily want to eliminate, by which I don't really mean the ass shots per se, but the whole dynamic where Miranda's... assets are so glaring that some people will never see anything else, whereas there is so much more to see.

Speaking in very broad terms, that seems to be an important dynamic for the character.

Good point. You could argue that she's putting it upfront (so to speak) because there's no point in hiding it (I think those were her words).

Agreed. That crap irks me to no end.
"Dat ass is what makes Miranda", "I hate Miranda cuz she has daddy issues", "Miranda's a **** despite me not developing her character"
Ugh.
