I'm glad you folks liked the fanfic. Anyhows, with the help of a friend of mine, I've made some vast improvements to the text this morning as well (probably not a good idea to post something at night without proof-reading it utterly beforehand). It should be better now.

Here's the link again;

Just read it. Good work, like the text that was with the pictures.

I saw that a few pages back. When is that quote, and I'm assuming Shepard says it? Its an awesome quote if its from Shepard about Liara. I never ran into it!

i was so glad there was that renegade interrupt at the end.

kind of sad they so overtly confirmed her as liara's dad, i prefer some things not interconnected so tightly in a big galaxy.

Yeah, Akernis. That artist just can't handle Liara's face, but (she?)'s clearly very talented and can do everything else very well. Even Fem Shep there doesn't have a messed up face...it's just Liara.

That's not really fair either though, in some pictures Liara's face looks a lot better.

I'm not. If they hadn't, we would never have gotten such an awesome scene.

[MrStoob]

I thought it was great when Shep wants Liara to speak to Aethyta and you get the dialogue option:

[Make Liara talk to her]

This dialogue selection boils down to Shep just saying "Liara!", in that insistent tone that lovers save for each other.

It's about the most complete story in the game, albeit a little whimsical. ME1 we learn of Liara's past, ME2 we discover her father, ME3 we can finally push them together. Lovely.

Ok, so it seems I can't even avoid Liara haters on twitter anymore, let alone the rest of the forum.

Maybe I should just hide in here forever.

Yeah I kind of noticed that as well.

At least It's not as bad as certain other issues like, say: XX v.s XY  Shepard.

Does anyone have any links to some fanfics with Liara and Shep? Preferably MaleShep if possible. I've read a bit of some, and would love to read more. Reading them just makes me happy. Just skimmed through "The Importance of Words", and it was sweet. Would love to read more like that.

In addition to those MShep stories mentioned (which I have strangely never seen before, might take a look) there is Moreeman's various stories (Daddy's Little Girls, Little Monsters, Then and Now, One Last Date, and Dinner. Liara also has a prominent role in his Remembering).

And superclutch's Awekening

And I am working on an alternative ending fanfic (chapter one linked in my signature) that while not directly about Liara & Shepard does feature Liara prominantly as my Shepard's LI.

Why are so many people so bad at drawing faces, yet they can make the armor look decent?

Faces are one the hardest things to draw in general, and one the easiest places to make mistakes, especially if you are drawing a character that people know how should look, like Liara, rather than an original chaarcter.

Though many talented artists I know complain about drawing armour as so that can apparently also be difficult.
But as far as I am aware, both from others and personal experience faces are easily the most difficult thing to get right when painting or drawing and usually requires considerably more care than nearly anything else in most pictures.

Check my ALL the fanfics thread. There’s tons of stuff there, and a link to the ME2 forums’ thread too. I am still missing some Liara stories, I know, I was planning on catching up on the subs today…

It’s not that people are bad at drawing faces. It’s that people are really, really good at seeing faces. The human eye and brain are uniquely suited for looking at human faces, and will notice if something is wrong immediately.

One can only hope. :-\\

[Wulfram]

The fact that Aethyta is there because she's Liara's father rather than as a coincidence reduces the "small galaxy" issue, I think

Heh, fair point.

Be better to be stuck in a cabin with Liara though. :innocent: <3

Are people posting Liara hating tweets to Bioware employees?

[kyg_20X6]

I know when that dialogue with Aethyta started, and Shepard orders the drink, I was thinking: "BW better put in that I saw that damn vid in LotSB! And Liara's just over there. They better not cop-out on this!" So glad they didn't.

why do you care what small-minded individuals think? your blogs are well-written and eloquent, from what i have just seen, what have the dullards done?

I have been wondering though - are those wordcounts on fanfiction.net right? Because if they are, then according to google and ms word, some of these stories are shockingly long. Both PMC's stories (and the second one seems like it's not even half-way through), at >130k words, are on-par with The Return of the King and Melaradark's Dark Energy 2 is as long as A Storm of Swords . Can that be right?

That sound somewhat over the top, that is the equivalent of a 2-300 page book or something along those lines. Are you sure it dosn't count signs, as in individual letters, rather than words?
If it does counts signs than that would be around 30 or so pages which seems considerably more realistic.
Though I will have to admit I have not read them so can't judge how long they are.

While we're on the subject of fanfics, I think some of you might find FanFictionDownloader useful.

FLAG is good if you don't want to download a program. Just paste the link, select format and click download.
Don't know what's the difference on Kindle and such as I don't have them, but the HTML download is very nice.
I don't feel like spending 70 ~ 500 € just to read fanfics so I'm sticking to my LCD monitor, can't read longer fics because of that tho...

About Ma-rin's Liara art, I really wish she painted Liara's face just "right" because it's the only thing that bothers me in them. They would be perfect.
-


"If you are not familiar with the German language: There are two ways of addressing someone. One is called "Duzen" and is used in an informal way, like you say "Du" to friends or your family. The second one is called "Siezen" and is the formal address. AND THEY USE THIS ONE IN MASS EFFECT NEARLY ALL THE TIME."

"I'm so glad I play this game in English."

I had to reinstall Sims because of that Liara Sims picture a few pages back, so yeah... Haha, reminds me why I uninstalled it. It's just too damn boring. The sims just go to work, then sleep, then work, then sleep, then die in a fire (maybe).
Shep & Liara
Seems that Shepard's all sporty and Liara is into science. And damn Liara's face looks weirdly textured from this angle.
I like to learn new things so I had to learn to do texture files and get them into Sims, so Shepard's N7 tattoo is made by me.

This is fantastic, thanks for this! I've been annoyed that I haven't been able to download FF.net fics to my hard drive, just in case the fics are removed or the the site is down, but this makes it a breeze!

Now, if only I could find a program for managing fanfics and other documents. I use MediaMonkey for managing my music and video collection and it makes life so much easier when I can browse my files based on genre, artist, titles, custom tags, and so on. Not to mention being able to automatically rename files based on metadata information. However, MediaMonkey doesn't support text documents and I haven't found a similar program for this purpose yet.

Well, I now tried converting some of the stories to pdf instead of mobipocket format and they really do come in at some hefty page counts - A Thessian's Whisper is 170 pages, Dark Energy (the first part) is 236 and Dark Energy II a whooping 555. But that's using a really tiny typeface, to small to read comfortably on anything smaller than A4/letter sized paper and way smaller than what is used in printed books. The pdf comes with over 70 lines per page, about twice what you get in books, and there's consequently also more words per line. If printed, I would guess that the page count would be doubled at the least!
Truly mind-blowing...

...wow...

That is not a fanfic, that is a book. How the hell do they get time to write something like that? and here I though that I was good, that would take me over eight months of 3+ hours of writting each day and that is if I don't have homework or equivalent to think about...

Well.. impresive to say the least.

Yes, they’re genuinely just enormously long. It’s not quite as long as your average GRRM book (judging by the time it took me to read DE and DE2) but the pace that ravynwriter produces text is just staggering. During the week, she can write a chapter every day that’s at least a third longer than I can produce in two days.

I understand not wanting to waste $ on an e-reader just for fanfics, but if you do a lot of reading in general, I can't recommend it enough. I just find the Kindle a lot more convenient than printed books, especially with 500+ page books. And without it, I probably never would have gotten around to reading any of the 100k+ word fanfics, which I can already say would have been a shame.

Much seconded. I have an iPad and about 400 books on it (plus all the other uses it has, like the drawings I posted a while back). It’s wonderful for reading in bed, outside, in the subway… A used tablet isn’t too expensive, either.

I use the Kindle app for most reading, but fanfics I usually just run through Readability.
