One of the last things I did last night was post an excerpt from my WIP. I received some praise (and concerns) that it "wasn't a typical Miranda fic." So what is the typical Miranda fic?
Can you point me to the page where you posted it? I'd like to read it.
Maybe they meant it didn't cater to the romance crowd as much as they would've liked. For me, I can say I would appreciate any Miranda fanfic that's not primarily about romance. I've been thinking of writing something about how she ran away from home, but I won't be able to even start for a few weeks - too much other stuff to do.
I'll just repost the excerpt here. There is some romance, but it's not about romance, if that makes sense.
Toombs rocketed upward and rounded on them. For the second time in five minutes, someone was pointing a gun at them. This gun, however, was like none she'd ever seen before. It was roughly the shape of a hand cannon but large, silver, and bulky. He must've lifted it from one of the scientists. "Shepard! You lying, traitorous Cerberus bastard! I thought you'd know better than to show your face here."
"I'm not working with Cerberus. I'm..." he inclined his head slightly toward Miranda. "... undercover. Working to bring Cerberus down from within."
His suit gave Toombs laugh a tinny, hollow quality. "Do you expect me to believe that?"
Shepard stepped forward. "You know me, corporal. You know what they did to us. You saw me kill Wayne. Do you really think I would work with the people who wiped out my entire squad?" He extended his hand. "I was the one who gassed these scientists. I want them dead much as you do."
Toombs didn't take it. "Then prove it. I didn't come here just shut down this facility and stop them from making these babies." He tilted his gun to the side. "That's just gravy. I finally found out who sicced the thresher maw on us in the first place. Help me find her, and I might start believing you. I want a nice long look at her corpse."
"You aren't the only one. Who are we looking for?"
Toombs spit out the words as if they were rotten varren meat. "Miranda Lawson. What happened on Akuze was her idea."
This is very rough and will probably be different in it's final form. The first half is in beta, so I should be able to start posting soon.
