Pastebin entry: SAM17 - Mr. Adams' Guide to Practical Fluffs - Part 9 - Pastebin.com
Part 9 of the Guide. This was originally supposed to be written as Part 8, with the idea being that the protagonist winds up back in his home reality, but the tribute ended up going on for way too long. In addition, work on what was supposed to be Part 8 was affected by the death of Fluffybooru, which has definitely impacted the overall nature of the guide.
Thus, I have decided to use this chapter to mark a specific point in the story, one that will set the stage for later events. It is also meant to reflect how the death of the booru has affected the fandom as a whole, due to the loss of context to a lot of content.
Some notes:
-
one of the ideas I played with is the idea of replicants having less rights than fluffies, based off this picture by Meh. I might give it a full treatment in a future standalone cyberpunk story, unrelated to the guide
-
BDB’s Curcuit was supposed to be featured earlier, but I found it difficult to explain her presence in a setting other then a lab.
-
I decided to base aspects of Sparks earlier life on Mayclore’s Whitney, specifically Meh’s depiction of Whitney, due to their visual similarity. It is also possible that Sparks may actually be based on Twilight Sparkle, hence the purple hair colour I decided to settle for.
-
one idea that I had, that I didn’t express, was that Sparks is actually Sam Adams’s sister, based on the possible influence of Spark’s character, as well as Sam Adams. However, because Sparks belongs to Meh, I decided to only hint at the idea
-
the events of this chapter can be seen as having lead to two separate tribute stories I did. The first was a tribute to Meh’s Nisc, which can be read here: To everything, a turn - Tribute to Meh's NISC - By Oculus (with art by Carpdime)
The second was a tribute to both Black-Dragon-Blood and Coalheart, which can be read here: link broken
Both stories can be read independently from the Sam Adams Guide.
- despite the title, this is not the end
