My next Shepard is going to look like Jim Raynor.

That actually was my first squadmate achievement.

Technically, I got this and Turian ally at the same time, but Quarian Ally popped up on my screen first.

That's surprising, because it's kind of a tricky one to get.

I, literally, just got it today.  Earned it in the middle of Noveria, with Feros still left to do.

Your from Brazil?  My favorite COD MW 2 Map Thriving South American Economy?

I've had a craving to play this game again, but my anti-fratboy nature compels me to put it back when I do look.

I've subsided with Gears of War 2 instead.

yeah,
Gears is better then MW2 in my opinion

No, Asari Ally was difficult to get. It took me two tries to do it.

Hmm, there's a lot that makes me d'aawww now that I think about it.  It's definitely going to be Tali related.  I don't want to give away the whole plot I'm thinking of, though!  Thanks for the tips.  I think I'm going to keep my first one fairly short.  Maybe if I like it enough, I can use it as a base for a series of fics.  But I'm getting ahead of myself.  It'll probably be awhile before I get this done, what with college and all that jazz.

Also, I know you didn't create the "hero they need" thing, that's from The Dark Knight.  But you are the most frequent user of it around here. 

That's fine.  I love a good surprise as much as the next person.  But don't hold back from seeking help if you feel like you need it.

I've found that a couple things keep me going when I don't feel so much like writing:  1.  Schedule.  I used to force myself to write at least a paragraph every night.  Now I just give myself deadlines (Wed and Sat for CotEM).  2.  Promises.  If you tell other people about what you're doing, it's more motivation to finish since you probably don't want to let them down.

I would be careful about jumping onto an episodic story right out of the gate.  I still haven't finished mine.

Episodics can be rewarding but are also a pain at times. If you do try this, I would suggest finishing before posting anything, just incase the coarse changes. This way you're not caged by anything you've written so far and are free to change things that contradict. Had to do that a few times with Drifting.
Found that I prefer the short story, myself, but to each his own.

Yeah, that's why I am trying to not get ahead of myself.  No solid plans as of yet, but it's slowly coming together in my head.  I'd hate to start a big storyline only to never finish it or feel like it's becoming tedious because I'm on part XXVIII.

True, but the two share the requirement that you hold off on side-quests until you get the right squaddie.

I have to place my support with the 'Episodic' style.  I really think thats just my ADVERTISE-LIKE-A-BIGDOG mindset at work.

I got Quarian Ally on my first playthrough as well, I'm sort of a completionist. Well, Tali thread it's been a while, feels good to be back.

Hey, welcome back.  Long time, no see.

Good points.

Also, NEVER listen to the doubtful voices in your head. The ones that say you should stop and no one is going to like what you're working on. They are jackasses and are to be ignored.

OH, hey, this brings up a good point.  Don't hold yourself to chronology unless you absolutely have to.  Probably the only reason I'm still writing here today is because I just wrote stuff for Unseen as the ideas came to me.  If I'd tried to start at the beginning, I'd never have gotten anywhere.

I ened up getting it at the end of Virmire, along with Krogan Ally. This was my final planet before Ilos, so I ended up skirting for it. Turian Ally was surprisingly easy.

True.
The good thing about those stories is that you get more feedback from the public which can be a good for the ego and inspiration.

I have the same mindset, so. . . no judgmet here. :innocent:

Self-loathing remains an enemy of mine.  On the other hand, there are benefits to being your own worst critic.  That way it feels like everyone else has nothing but nice things to say.

Yeah, otherwise you'll end up like Rune, and destroy all your work at regular intervals.
