Well I never read fanfiction either. Garrusfic is the only fanfic I have ever read, and yes there is a sea of drivel out there. However, there are also a few diamonds in the rough.

Reading bad fanfiction can be a special joy, though, if you find the right ones. XD

Made me think to repost this (no Garrus here, thank goodness):

the only fanfics I read are the ones directly from members. AKA the stuff buddha, riptide, Lividity Jones, and Sergio write. We get sneak peaks, and some of them are basically in chapters that we get in bits and pieces every week.



If you don;t mind Tali fics, I do recommend them. I'm sure you have folks like that in here too.

Also Awesome BKness I see. Do you think he can handle the Migrant fleet and the Garrus gals at the same time? :)


If they show up, I guess we'll find out!

It makes wonders what people can think of.

If there was a Garrus/someone else mash up fanfic, I would be very disturbed...

Hopefully Alexine, that will ONLY ever happen if Xsause wrote it, because then it'd be done hilariously well and we would all laugh over banana cupcakes. If anyone else on earth did it, NO NO NO NO.

I read a Garrus/Kelly fic once, mostly smut but still pretty good.



Everyone was asking her why she was walking funny.

Got a somewhat interesting question I was thinking of the other day. What fanfic would you guys say does the absolute best job of describing the pre-Omega 4 relay encounter? There are so many it's impossible to wade through them all. I got my own picks but I wondered what you guys thought.

I nominate: 1) Precedent  2) Just Once 3) Night to Remember/Strange Bedfellows tie for third


An excellent list, although I'd move A Night to Remember to the front, though, as I feel it fits most naturally into the game--I can imagine all that actually happening.  I love those other 3, though.
And I'd be remiss if I didn't nominate "Reward" at least for Honorable Mention.  It takes a completely different approach, and it's well-written...even if it's more smut and less plot, it still qualifies. ;)


I'm sorry, but I had to add something, as long as we are still kind of talking about ff, and smut-containing ones in particular...I would add "Always Be There"--THE  FIRST TWO CHAPTERS ONLY--as fitting this question even though technically Ch. 2 wasn't before the relay.  Just 'cause I love what she did with those 2 chapters. :)

Yes I don't have them all, I relay alot of several other people in the tali thread to supply shots I don't have. No one seemed to have the Veetor no no no no no pic handy.I make up for it with the above Pure win Garrus comic book cover shot. Tali thread member posted it a little bit ago.

Nah, it's okay. I kind of got used it (but not entirely D:) I still can't stomach explicit yaoi in case you want to go screaming down the hallway with a strong desire to be a loser with a L on paper attached to my forehead.

But the comments in the article were even more disturbing, yet hilarious

Here's a cute lil Garrus as an apology.

OMG I can't keep up with this thread, bah work - stealing my fun.
Where is this from Andaius?

As for Garrus "night before Omega 4" I can't say I have read too many of those - will have to give some of your recomendations a go kg and Raga!

I just read "Rock Steady", I’d avoided reading it because it was non-canon Jack/Thane pairing and there are some terrible non-canon pairings out there – but it just WORKS, incredibly well written piece. Hell I even think I like Jack now.
 
Oh can only read ME slash if its part of crack fiction – all the serious stuff reminds me too much of Star Trek Spock/Kirk pairings I read many years ago, I think I’ve grown out of that phase now.

I also like the pre-Omega scene from Insubordinating if you snip out all the rest of the totally OCC story around it.  It happens in a few flashbacks.   The rest is a bit much but the flashbacks are nice.

@Buggirl

I specifically prefer really realistic fanfiction that just fills in the gaps in the game's story.  Well and off the way crazy crackfic of course written by our resident mad salarian.  The other "what ifs" and weird non-canon OCC things I don't tend to care for.  I've read a few that I liked but they are pretty rare.

Also bad writing bugs me so much I have been known to copy and paste a story into Word just so I can correct grammar and bad spelling and stuff like that before I do a real read and get rid of unnecessary repetition of dead-weight modifiers like "actually" "simply" "literally" and the the like.  That stuff drives me NUTS.  Maybe that is me bootlegging someone's fic, I dunno, but I'm crazy that way.

Yes!  I agree with that one.  There were some nice bits to that story, and I guess maybe this makes me a bad person but I loved that one chapter (6, I believe?) where Garrus and Shepard ruthlessly interrogated that guy.  Hehee, I may be going Renegade or something but I loved it. :bandit:

Comic-Con update: Steve Blum WILL be at Comic-Con doing autographs. (Voice of Grunt, and Wilson - the guy that betrayed/killed by Miranda) I plan to get his autograph... as long as it doesn't conflict with some other panel/event i wanna attend.



Another update for those interesting from the tali thread.



Bugstress, it's fan made art. :)

Its friggin awesome.  MMM I'm using that word a lot today. 

Did someone mention Alan Moore before?  An Alan Moore version of Garrus on Omega would blow this fangirl away.
