Well, if it's Tali-related...

Do what I do.

Take a long walk and look around you. Listen to music. Watch a few films. Keep your mind open.

Eventually, something will stick, an idea or a phrase, and it will grow from there.

You just have to nurture it.

Hell, Last Son was entirely inspired from a song.

Usually I get my ideas from this thread, but I've been doing those other things as well. I just feel tapped out.

Have you considered writing about something other than Mass Effect for a while?

It's
helped me out of my block as of late, nothing like a bit of Tamriellec
Lore to get the Dwemer Gears a turning in your head.

I've considered it, but I don't really have any ideas.
I really want to do some writing, but I've got nothing right now. For anything. I would try something not FF related, but I don't even have anything for that either.

Other times, you just get lucky, like with Reckoning.

It really helped having someone to bounce ideas off of, huh Jones?

Absolutely.

It's hard getting a sense of an idea when you can only take council with yourself.

It's circular. You don't get anywhere half the time.

Having someone else's opinion is outstandingly helpful.

Indeed.

If Jones and I put all of our discussion for Reckoning into Microsoft Word, I'd wager it would be 90 to 100 pages. That's how many ideas we've had, we've been able to bounce around. I've added things to the table, and there are  a lot of things that are all Jones. It's better for it.

Sometimes you just gotta listen to the voices in your head.

If I did that...

There would be a LOT more dead people in the world...

Actually, I'm going to test this theory.

Give me a minute.

Everyone is guilty of that, as well.

Indeed. Wolf's help with BT was invaluable.
Now that Noir Tali is finished, I've been playing around with the idea of starting a duel-project, but frankly I'm scared that the writers block won't lift in time and I'll be leaving whatever unlucky bastard I have for a partner hanging and I don't want to do that. It's not fair to the other person.

Sometimes, visual stimulations (giggity) is the best solution:

Amen.
But there's comfort to be taken in the fact that a good 60-70% of them probably had it coming.

If it weren't for Rip having to rely on me, I probably would not get anything done for AoD. You may be surprised by what having a partner will do for you.

[Lividity Jones]

Uhh... Rip?

It's 278 pages.

We've bounced around 278 pages worth of ideas since we started and we're only just finishing chapter four.

Holy ****.

I do not. That is the problem.

Also, Jebus Rip you're already working on, what, fifty other projects? You're going to explode if you're not careful, man!

Also, also, 278 pages of notes? That's beyond insane.

Now, take into account how many of these are actually sound ideas as opposed to any idea you had, then cross that with how many times that these ideas have intercected with one another over any repeats you likely had, then consider how many of these ideas would actually benefit the story, or at the lest not seem like a waste of writing. Then you will get a decent estimation in how much content both of you have actually concieved in these pages of pure conception.

I've done some one-on-one story writing before, and I'll agree that having the right partner can really bring out some great ideas and breath life into a story like you wouldn't believe.

Rip seems to be the current God of this power.

Let me know if you come up with something. I always thought it would be great to do a Noir Garrus.

I've got a ****load on my plate. What's one more?

Sanity is a state of mind. I don't mind, and you don't matter. Matter is any object or particle that occupies space. Pancakes taste good with syrup.

I have many talents.

Also, Jones, art is nearly done. About... half an hour... I think.

I would offer up my own name for consideration as a Collab-partner, but lets face it:

1) I'm really lazy.
2) I would go advertising crazy.
3) Redtracer7 shares the credit with NO ONE!

Perfect.

I'll be ready.

Going over it again to make sure I didn't miss anything.
