I am willing to read 1,000 fanfics in the same fandom, with 10,000 different "headcanons". Canon and fandom stuff are different.
From the most canon-compliant fanfic to fanfic that directly contradicts the source material, they are all part of the experience of being in fandom.

And, you know, if you like to stick to your favorite flavor of cake, that's great! #twocakes

My point is: It's nice to have a buffet of fanfiction. #fanfiction #fandom #themurderbotdiaries

After reading books 1 to 4 of "The Murderbot Diaries" by Martha Wells in German, I am now starting all over again, this time in English. I also have books 5 to 7 on my pile to read.

For some reason I cannot really explain, I can read the English version more easily. The German translation seems to be rather "wordy".

Emotion check: Happy. Fulfilled. Looking forward to a reread. 🫶🏼

Murderbot visits Space Disneyland

Platform Decay feels like a bit of a "side story" imo, similar to Fugitive Telemetry. I kind of like that there are some stories where Murderbot just helps some people though, without necessarily saving a planet or taking down a corporation or making Big Discoveries about its past. It also helps with the pacing of the series as a whole when every book doesn't need to be even more epic than the previous one. Also Murderbot needs time to process its trauma after a Big One.

It's interesting to get a glimpse into more of "normal" corporation space (i.e. not labor camps or transit rings).

I like that Three had a very slightly bigger role, and I'm hoping we get even more of that in the future - I'd even enjoy some Three-centric stories, similar to how Rapport was about Perihelion and its team.

Overall, I loved it, and I'm ready for more!

Corporates always want to make a deal, when they don’t already own you.

The only good thing about the extent to which this situation sucks is that it’s at least distracting me from how much I suck at the moment.
