It's tough to say for certain.  Initially I thought about nine.  Three for the first act, three for the second, and three for the third.  Now that I've gotten started on the second act, it seems that this one will be short (two chapters) but the final act is still up in the air.  Could be three.  Could be four or five, depending on how certain parts of the story play out, whether I want to actually give character to any of the side characters, etc.

I know it works for me, but it wouldn't hurt to try finishing out the story first and then staggering your release of the chapters.

In my stories, I have a story about Kelly called 'Ubi Venenum, Ibi Evaqua' that I started writing last fall.  I completed it just a few days before Christimas.  And when I started posting chapters, it was every other day so more and more people could see it, still at the top of the list.

Also,
I've been meaning to ask, as it looks like we're on the topic of
fanfics. Does anyone have a list or something with a few good ones? 'am
hitting the road in a weeks time and I wouldn't mind some reading
material to kill time. 16 hour drive, woot. I've collected most of the
work posted here, but I'm sure there's some closet writers or hidden
gems around!

I want to make out with that Gif!!!

Also, if you don't mind a little Kelly in your mix, I would offer the one I have mentioned.   For what it's worth, Kelly helps save a Femshep/Liara pairing.

Kelly is pretty sweet, so much affection for everyone in her.

In fairness she does sleep with everyone and everything. But I think she's interesting because she seems genuine about feeling affection for everyone rather than just wanting to sex everyone. It's not just "getting laid" to her.

Untrue.  The closest thing she said was, "Passion is good where you find it.  Character matters, not race or gender."

Toss that in with the dinner date, the feeding fishes, and the strip dance and people make all these conclusions based off of flimsy evidence at best.  So, naturally, people come to an erroneous conclusion about her.

*sigh*

Anyway, let's put the issue to rest, since this is a Liara thread.

Back to fanfics!  Read what I have to offer!  

You will like them!  Especially 'Munitions or Munitions?'  The punch line at the end will throw you for a loop, but in a good way!

I don't understand where people get this either. If she was so loose and had sex with anything and everything, as so many think, why then does it take almost the entirety of ME2 to get a dinner date and a dance/cuddle from her? Wouldn't she just try jumping on Shepard the minute they met if the prior were true? That doesn't sound like someone who jumps right into bed with anything. Kelly does not deserve the ill placed crap some people heap on her. Next to Liara, she's my second favorite ME character.

[The Lightspeaker]

Don't you just hate it when you know what you want to do with a couple of scenes in a story but you don't know how exactly to do them?

Gah, driving me mad.

Never really thought about it because honestly it's never really bothered me either way...she's sweet regardless.

Seriously, people been bad mouthing her character or something? That just seems bizarre... (I don't really read any of the rest of the character discussion forums.)


Edit2: Anyways, I really ought to log off, forums making it impossible to concentrate on fanfic. Night all, blue dreams.

I tried only once playing a renegade Shep. I just can't do it, though. He's too evil and I found myself wanting him to fail. It was one runthrough of ME1 and I hated him so much I never imported him and I've never switched from a paragon, Liara romancer again.

I just don't see how people can enjoy a full renegade Shep. He's a straight up sociopath, he's not a hero at all. He rather reminds me of Kratos from God of War, and I just find that disturbing. I also find it disturbing when people think Kratos is some kind of relateable badass or something. Same for Ren. Shep.

Agreed. Even though I got into Mass Effect relatively late (February, I believe), and thus didn't have time to actually test out being RenShep fully in the games, the little I actually did was just disturbing. I think it's at its prime in ME3, where the auto-dialogues create such a huge contrast to the times where you actually are able to be a dick.

There are moments when I do choose the renegade options/interrupts, though. A couple of examples are the Kai Leng death sequence (SERIOUSLY, I LOVE THAT) and when you rage at the Quarian Admiral for opening fire at the Geth Dreadnought with you still in it. Those actions both seem just, and work out nicely with what Shepard could conventionally do. Examples of actions that are NOT as acceptable (in my opinion) are the death scenes of Legion (seriously, SEVERAL shots?) and Mordin. They're just... wrong. They're not even like the third category of renegade actions that are just plane-out hilarious (punching the reporter), and they go against what ANY Shepard could POSSIBLY want to do (okay... I guess there might be some sick individuals who actually enjoyed them, but they're irrelevant to my analysis, since they must see the ME franchise in such a different way than me).

At the same time, I feel like I'm sometimes forcing myself to choosing paragon. As much as I love the bigger picture, there are times when I look at the renegade option (doesn't have to actually be red lighted) and think to myself that I would actually prefer it to the paragon one, but STILL I go for mr. Good Guy. Why? I do think it's because I keep telling myself I'm sort of serving a goal that's greater than my comprehension, and therefore must choose the light path, no matter if it sometimes stings. Most of the time, though, I feel satisfied with my choice afterwards. A lot of times it's probably because my doubt about the current paragon option was based on the fact that it was presented in the dialogue wheel as pretty blurry ("Wait... what does that even mean?"), and did end up as the optimal thing to say when it's said. Ok... that was pretty vaguely formulated, hope you get what I mean.

So, in summary, I totally agree that genuinelly playing as RenShep is undoable. I did create a joke-Shep and chose a larger amount of the dick-phrases for funzies, but actually making those big evil deeds... I can't do it. I simply can't.

PS. Oh, and cheating on Liara is just as difficult.  DS.

I think a pure paragon comes of  as somewhat an idiot:?. At the time mordin and wrex's death do seem terrible, but on a larger scale they are rather insignificant. The  krogan are too big of a threat and (outside of Shepard's personal contacts.) they don't seem likely to change. Shepard curing the Genophage could very well end up costing the Galaxy much more, in the long-term.

I find Renegade Shep plays as someone who is far more millitary, then Paragon Shep. Some of the best and most succsessful military generals in history, are very much renegades. Even Liara questions whether curing the genophage was the right thing to do. The whole genophage situation reminds me of this qoute:

People forget, and then they make the same mistakes again. They say they won't let it happen again, that they're going to change the world this time, but who can guarentee such a thing.-GD

Sarcastic Tasha wrote...

I think renegade Shep goes well with Liara. Obviously you can't choose every "renegade" option without causing problems. But choosing every "paragon" option would cause problems too (paragon Shep in ME2 disapproves of Liara's criminal activities). Personally I found Liara and renegade Shep more interesting than Liara and paragon Shep, though that may just be because I prefer my renegade Shep in general.

Either side has its upsides and downsides though I generally prefers the paragon side of most subjects in the game.

Personally, I've never agreed with this sentiment, but to each his own. IMO, Hale makes a good Paragon if you like a more emotional, Type II-III anti-hero. Especially given the events of ME2, the Paragon doesn't really feel like your average white knight, pure hero type. Even in the first game, you feel that no matter the alignment, Shepard was around to get the job done. This is reflected in Hale's performance when she comes across frustrated and impatient when she's doing nice things. Like talking to Conrad the final time. Femshep is definitely tired to talking to him, and she makes this known, despite the fact that she's still putting up with him. One example out of many, but it does let the player know that being Paragon is not about being the White Knight.

*snip*

ok so subject change if you had to fit all of the ME crew (1through 3) into that anti-hero scale where would each fit for me its 

Garrus/Shep as the type II-III
Liara:  would probably fit type I best in ME1 due to her naievity and unsuredness that she'll be of any help in the mission when you get her although she settles more into a typeII-III as the series goes on and she comes into her own.
I would do the others but with the exception of Tali who i would put in the same boat as Liara (with the exception that she is more sure of herself in the begining and then moves into type I unsuredness in 2 before settling in II-III)  I really don't have much of a care or investment in the others although i do love Wrex and i guess he would fit in Type IV

True enough. Both sides  can also have heavy consequences. So more neuatral players tend to get the better playthrough results. I prefer Renegade  options but the problem with ME3 is that it lacks the  neutral  dialouge options.

Also, quick question....

Why do F!Sheps seem to choose Liara in Mass Effect 3 more now... I am seeing A LOT of Deviant Art of F!Shep and Liara.... Im guessing making up for lost time? Hehehe

Because (And this is not an attack on mshep at all, so don't take it as such.) every other LI  for fshep screws her over, or dies, or is not really compatible pysically.

Thane Dies
Jacob cheats on you and knocks up another woman.
Kaiden(Well the whole horizon thing,him suddenly being avalible for mshep, lack of personality.)
Garus (As much as I him) is not really pysically compatible.
So Traynor and Liara end up making the most sense.
Jhale has said her favorite romance in me was Liara.(I thought she was jesting though..)
Colour Theory and Freckles.

Straight  fshep players  starting in ME3 who chose Ash..are really screwed over.( Because they only have Liara and Traynor.) Because Liara is mono-gendered, maybe it makes  them mentally justify fshep being with Liara an easier transition.

Thats my two-cents on the matter anyway.
