Sialater suggested, we'd do it the same way, the writers handle it in the Dragon Age forum so I am basically using the layout and description from this thread. If you have any fanfiction for Dragon Age, please go there. For all fan fiction that is Mass Effect related, you can post it here.
Stories here are listed in alphatical order by title of story. If you want your/someone else's story added to this list, just post in this thread, using the template you see below.
I will update whenever I can. Thanks to Shadow of Light Dragon who had the idea for the template and the description in the DA forums. I am only quoting it here. Can't say it better myself anyway.
UPDATE
Severyx has created a new thread for the discussion of stories that are listed here. Please use it to talk about the stories so we can keep this thread here for the listing only. Note also, that any updates made or stories submitted in the other thread will most likely not be added here, since I don't know how much I will be following this thread myself. So, if you want to make sure, I don't miss it, please submit your stories here
A big thanks to all who have submitted their stories to the listing so far

[b]Story Elements:[/b] Reads like a poorly formatted history book, no romance, no adventure, just the facts ma'am. Any humor is purely incidental.
[b]Synopsis:[/b] I don’t know if I’d call this a “fanfic” as much as a “collection of disjointed ramblings.” But it’s basically my vision of the planet Mindoir; it's history, politics and culture.

Uses a script format, therefore is not posted on Fanfiction.net. Makes fun of plot holes and character flaws. The original Mock Effect was hillarious, hopefully my follow up will not diminish its high marks.
