Before we go on any longer about how we need this thread, I just start it and hopefully, it will be become a sticky.

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 :)


-------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR STORY:
To use, 'Quote' this post and fill in the gaps of the template below (delete everything else). To enter your links, press the BBCode button on the right-hand side of the formatting toolbar. You will see two bits of text reading 'InsertLinkHere' (one for Forum, one for FF.Net), which you can replace with your link(s) or delete if not needed. :) Replace 'Story Name' with the title of your fic. If you press the BBCode button again you should see what your entry will look like. (Don't stress too much if you can't figure it out ;) )

The Days That Are No More
Author: SilverRose208
Length and Status: Approx. 20,000 words - Complete
Explicit Content: No
Story Elements: Romance, drama, angst
Synopsis: Follows Ashley's journey after losing Shepard and the destruction of the Normandy, through ME2 and little beyond (there has to be a happy ending).  Told from an Ash POV.

So, the next one is kinda odd, and I'm not sure how to complete the catalogue (they're all related, but they're kind of not).  I'm writing a series of M!Shep/Ash standalone vignettes that all fall under the heading of what I've coined "The Mosaic Project."  I like to explore the characters' pasts in terms of how it relates to their relationship in the post-reconciliation present.  All are/will be roughly 2,000-5,000 words in length and follow similar themes.

I have 5 written so far, and will be adding more:
Mosaic: Prologue, Of A Giant Amongst Men - Sets up the series
So Eden Sank to Grief - Ashley reflects on Eden Prime
Of Shades of Gray - Shepard reflects on his decision at Virmire
The Armor We Wear - Ashley thinks about how her dynamic with Shepard has changed
Nothing Gold Can Stay - Ashley worries about what their chosen lives as soldiers will mean for her and Shepard

Here is my own attempt:

Objects in Space(Links: Forum )
Author: turelhimvampire
Length and Status: 30,000 words - ongoing
Explicit Content: Y
Story Elements: Action, Drama, Romance, Revenge
Synopsis: It has been four months since the Normandy returned through the Omega 4 relay, the collector base burning in its wake. Commander Shepard has severed all ties to The Illusive Man, and has now begun the difficult task of rebuilding his honoured reputation. All of his crew came back alive, a minor miracle in and of itself, but not everything is cause for celebration.

The Justicar Samara has returned to her duties, her oath to Shepard fulfilled. Jack - Subject Zero - has parted ways with the Normandy, no longer a refuge from her past. Kasumi Goto has also moved on, returning to her life of crime, though the greybox did not go with her.

Journeying out into the black, the Normandy has rendevoued with the quarian Flotilla at the request of Tali and Legion, the Geth boarding the Neema to work alongside Haan'Gerrel in attempting to broker peace between their two peoples.

On its way back to the Citadel, the Normandy entered a region of space so far off the normal space lanes that there is nothing else out there. It is there the Illusive Man enacted his revenge. The Normandy lies in flames, ambushed by a Cereberus dreadnought - the Styx.

This is the story of that ambush, and the devastating rift it leaves in the lives of Shepard and his crew. There will be casualties on both sides - but the Illusive Man considers this a price worth paying.
