If y'all were wondering about the burning smell, I have another idea. I was thinking of putting those fanfiction skills to use and writing a "Captain's Log" detailing my Femshep's gradual feelings for Joker in ME1 through to ME2. In a way, it was inspired by Pressly's diary you find searching through the Normandy's wreckage.

But where to put it? I don't really want to spam the thread with it... maybe I should break down and get a fanfiction.net account?

Anyway, I thought it would be a good thing to try and pass the time with, hopefully entertaining my fellow Jokerites in the process! We're almost at the six-month mark, half a year. ;)

Anyway, thoughts on this?

Edit: *gasp* Top of page! Err... can't find any Joker/Diana screenies that wouldn't feel like a re-hashing of my last screenie...

Erm, Ah-ha! Found something!

Captain's Log, stardate I am such a Trekkie :pinched:

But, yeah, it sounds like a brilliant idea :D  Unfortunately, I don't write fanfiction, so I can't help you on where to post it, sorry :(
You can post it directly to me, if ya want ;)
I kid, I kid, but I would imagine a fanfiction.net account would be the way to go... It's the only fanfiction place I know about apart from dA of course.

I have many Sheps, though:

Anna - Infiltrator, Earthborn, War Hero.  Saved Ash, saved council, accepted Spectre status back and bombed the CB into space dust.  >:) Paragade. Hopefull Jokermancer.
Blaze - Sentinel, Spacer, War Hero.  Saved Kaidan, saved council then told 'em where to shove their Spectre status, bombed the CB into space dust, again.  Renegon. Bit of a womanizer :P (flirted with Kelly - hopefull for s/s romance in ME3)
Cal - Soldier, Colonist, Sole Survivor.  Saved Kaidan, saved council and accepted Spectre status back.  Bombed CB.  Full paragon, faithful Kaidanmancer.  (Note: I just realised how much 'Kaidan and Cal' sounds like 'Kenan and Kel'...:mellow:)

Then I tried to break the mold a little bit and make different choices

Eve - Adept, Earthborn, Sole Survivor.  Saved Kaidan, saved council, kept CB (That's gonna bite me in the ass :unsure:) Liara-mancer. Paragade.
Geo - Soldier, Colonist, Ruthless.  Saved Ash, killed council, blew up CB.  Renegon

These are just my ME3 ready ones. 
I've noticed that there are decisions that I will always make, no matter what kind of character I'm trying to give Shepard - I will always shut down Overlord, 9 times out of 10 I will save the council, I won't let anyone die.  And I always save the Salarians in Nassana's towers... Those things are so darn CUTE.  I just can't help myself - I want to hug them all.  Great, now I sound like that crazy cat lady.

My point is that I can't bring myself to be a jerk - I just can't, but that's what youtube is for, I suppose.  I can watch all the other Shepards be badass while mine opens a shelter for Quarians on the Citadel and hugs all the Salarians.... <_< Reapers? Never mind them! I have stray cats to collect!

EDIT: Woah that's  a long post for me... :blink:

I'm loving everyone's Shepards!  They're all so different - this is why I love RPGs. XD

I tend to be a bit of a Literature geek when I make new characters. I sometimes base them off the actual people, but I mostly just name characters after others depending on the circumstances which make them who they are.

@ Omega: I was going to name my Male Shep Logan! Mainly because of the character in Fable 3, but awesome! XD

Fanfiction.net is a great place to go to post stuff. Let us know when you post something! I had the captian's log idea a way while back, but never wrote it down. That's me...I have several ideas, but never write them down. <_<

So long as you don't start crying because you love salarians so much, I think we'll let it slide. XD You know, I only just now realized there was another group of salarians aside from the ones that tried to shoot me. It was like opening a Christmas present early! :wizard:

And it is really hard for me to be a jerk, too. I know it's a game, but the curse of a guilty conscience...>_< Also, some of the Renegade choices always seem irrational, or overdramatic. I always reload, shaking my head thinking: "Shepard, you're not a teenager. Think!" Janine is the first Shepard I made who's a Renagon. She's tough and gets things done, but she has a streak of nobility in her. I'm fairly comfortable with her because I sate my need to be nice, but I also get to push guys out of windows. :devil: I like the dialogue choice for that better, however. I always get a smirk on my face.

Merc: I've got nothing more to say to you.
Shep: *shoves him against window* What sound you'll make when you hit the ground? Think you'll hear it before you die?
Merc: :blink:

Plus...I can't be mean to Joker. :crying: You can see in ME2 how Shepard and Joker have become good friends, or Joker at least really trusts Shepard no matter what. All because you saved his life.

Speaking of which...I don't remember...does Joker ever really thank you for saving him? :huh:

ONE OF US. ONE OF US. :lol:

If she' not utterly disturbed by this, that is. Lol!

Lol, I wonder if it would be weird for her to romance Joker when her hubby voiced him? :huh:...Nah, she'd probably love it.

Her: "Hey, honey! I'm about to jump your bones again!"
Him: "Why don't you come over here and I'll give you something real."
Her: "After I crush pelvises with Joker!"
Him: <_<

FF.Net is still the place for fic. Considering the fluidity of the net it's a little weird how ff.net has remained #1 now I'm thinking about it.
<_> sorry heyfever meds are messing with my thinking. What I meant was:- That sounds like an interesting idea for a fic, can't wait to read it Omega.


Amelia Spacer/Hero/Paragade/Alliance Golden Girl/Adept "I'm really sorry but you have to die."
Pragmatic, dedicated, weighs decisions against the big picture, and as much as possible follows the rules. Even if those rules are ones she's made up herself (there's a list). She and Kaidan are perfect compliments of each other but the decision to save him on Virmire scarred their fledging relationship. She slept with Garrus because she felt so alone and he was the only person she trusted on the SR2. Despite what she said deep down she really didn't think she would survive the CB.
-I'm not sure where she's going romantically in 3. I'm looking forward to figuring it out.

Naomi Colonist/Survivor/Paragon/Engineer "But does it work?"
Burnt out she dreams of becoming a hermit, building a mech army who patrol her mountain villa and shot anyone who dares venture close. Not a people person but forces herself to be because it's part the career she's chosen. A perfectionist and opportunistic.
She has a galaxy to fix and save, there's no time for romance. Now if only the bloody pilot would stop looking so cute and being so sarky her hormones would settle down and she'd be just fine thank you very much.

Leigh Earthborn/Hero/Renagon/Infiltrator "Get it DONE"
Currently a work in progress but she's probably going to dedicated Kaidan.

(does the Kaidan thread title make anyone else paranoid about spelling his name?)

If all this happens it will be worse then Jacob's, Garrus' and Thane's romance dialog. I sense meme incoming and lots of mad people complaining it was cheesy.

Ugh, nothing will ever be as bad as "the priiiize", trust me. Aside from that, Jacob is the only crew member you can rant to and he listens; not too bad. Thane's romance was a case of bad timing all around in my opinion, and I thought Garrus was actually decent in the romance department. If Joker's romance is indeed cheesy, then...well...let's hope BioWare doesn't use the "bone crushing" joke; that one is worn out as it is. We get enough trolls spewing that originatity almost every day - we don't want it in our game. Let's hope the romance is not too cheesy - but I like cheese. Cheese is good. I also like corny. We need corny in our lives.

I hope you feel better soon, Ser Bard! I know the feeling. Lol, and I love Naomi. Her and Mara would get along just fine. They can rent mountains together. XD I don't blame anyone who would want to be a hermit after all the crap the galaxy put them through. Only a few of my Shepards want to continue fighting, or go into politics; the others will give everyone the bird and become hermits. "GTFO my mountain!" :lol:

I hear you, there! Vanessa is just like that (I freaking love Hale's "bad girl" voice)! Also, mass effect 2 makes it really difficult to be a renegon (In ME1, you could just allocate points into good/bad, but in ME2, you have to either be overall good/bad in order to make choices that have the potential to break ME3. Bioware had no love for grey).

Also, I'm with you guys in the "I always have to do 'X' no matter how bad/good my Shepard is." I agree with Phantom that some of the Renegade choices are irrational, overdramatic, and even somewhat childish... not really befitting a hero of the galaxy. I never kill Shiala (seriously wtf, she just helped me and Shepard's gonna just say, "thanks, die"?), I never kill Wrex (never, as far as all my Shepards go, it is not even an option), I always shut down Overlord (at least we get the option to pistol-whip Loghain- er, Gavin in the face), I never let the council die [did it once to see what would happen; reloaded the game immediately. Seriously, passing up a dying ship full of 50,000 people (most of them civilians) when they're being bombarded and hailing you for help is effed up], I always accept Spectre re-instatement (no matter what my Shepard thinks of the Council, having the resources and reputation of a Spectre is very useful), I never never NEVER kill Samara over Morinth (I kill that murderous, hedonistic psychopath every. single. time. Not even sure why Bioware even made it an option to recruit her), I don't kill the Rachni Queen (it'd just feel wrong. Even my most Renegade Shepard will give her one chance to redeem herself. If the Rachni hadn't learned a valuable lesson by now... well, it will give the Salarians a reason to cure the genophage, won't it?), I usually make Anderson the Councilor (when it comes down to it, Udina is not a wartime politician. We need an "Ike" or "Washington" in the Council during the Reaper conflict and, let's face it, Udina's ignorance almost doomed the galaxy... why would I give him another chance? However, I do see the benefit of having Udina in there, so I'll pick him once on a future Shepard), I never tell the Admirals about Tali's father (I could never be a jerk to Tali), and I always blow the Collector base to kingdom come (I was doing this even before the info for ME3 was released. Moral reasons aside, I'm not about to give advanced Reaper-building tech to a ruthless zealot that I can't trust as far as I can throw).

Anyway, back to Joker:

No... but we're hoping and begging and crossing our fingers to the breaking point that he will, which Shepard can ultimately follow up with three well-placed words, a kiss, a tender pre-SM moment and, after the Reapers have been defeated, lots of creaky-legged children!!! <3:O<3

And, Phantom, I agree with you; no matter how corny or cheesy they make the Jokermance dialogue, nothing (and I mean NOTHING) will ever top "the priiiiize." Also, if Bioware can create a romance where you immediately start hitting on a guy after a convo about his dead wife, they can do anything! Lol :lol:

*glances up a post*

Less creepy, huh? Rofl, nice fanart! What's in Shepard's mouth?

Omega - I know this is really Thanes romances creeps me out for that reason - I really wish I could enjoy that romance as really like Thane but that conversation *shudders* (same with sky in Jade Empire though) but from what has been said so far I have the feeling the romances will be more involved and emotional so hopefully any creepyness like that will be avoided with a potention Jokermance

I have:
Annabel (Named after Edgar Allen Poe's poem Annabel Lee. The woman died and could not be with the man she loved. Means "gracious", "merciful", and "beautiful".) - Spacer/Ruthless; single for Joker
Mara (Biblical woman who lost her entire family. Means "bitter".) - Colonist/War Hero; romanced Kaidan and then Garrus
Ariel (A spirit from Shakespeare's play The Tempest, who serves a master to earn it's right to freedom. Means "lion of God".) - Earthborn/War Hero; romanced Garrus
Janine ("God is Gracious") - Earthborn/Sole Survivor; single (My ideal for her is Zaeed, but it's doubtful he'll be a LI.)
Eris ("Strife") - Colonist/Ruthless; single



I only have 3 Shepards, Lanah Shepard and I explained a few pages back why her name is Lanah. she romanced Kaidan but has fallen for Joker and (goddess willing) will dump him for Joker in ME3 considering how he broker her heart.

I also have Andromeda 'Anna' Shepard who shall be single until she can romance Joker, and Marcus Shepard because I am lazy with names so just named him after my fiance. He won't be romancing Joker though, I kept him for Jack.

Awww.... let's just hope that all of us will be happy in march. Then they just got started early. But I can understand not wanting to come in and making everyone sad.



I love reading about everybodys FemSheps, getting inspired to kick up a new game at once but I should finish the current one first.

As a big Jacob-fan I really hope that Joker won't get any "prize"-lines. Jacobs dialogue after that unfortunate sentence is really good, love it. He even says "I love you" which makes this super-romantic-sap a very very happy FemShep   =)

@ Omega Torsk let us know if you do any fanfiction stuff =) would love to read it. Currently writing the log for my FemShep. Ummm.... Just recruited Jack and so far I'm up to, hmmm let's see. 50 pages holy moley. But there are lot's of pictures aka screen shots.

XD Okay, fangirl moment over. I'm just so happy because FemShep's "officially" a ginger now. She's so badass!

Back to Joker:

Y'all are making me want to write a log for my Shepard. : \\ Or...at least a fanfiction for Bel and Joker. 

My friend and I agreed that Joker needed a shining moment next to his appearance at the end of the SM. What do y'all think it should be?

I'm pretty annoyed at how young she looks. I'm 19, but I swear this femShep looks younger than me. Other than that, I'm glad the redhead won, and it *is* a really cool poster.

So, no news about Joker at all, huh?

Yeah, with all the complaints about spoilers during the ME2 ad campaign, they're keeping a LOT of things tight-lipped. Now it seems people are uptight because all we've seen is the Sur'Kesh demo and Cerberus troops being beat to death. Fans can be impossible sometimes...

Though, while I'd love for BioWare to put us out of our misery and announce that Joker's going to be romancable...they just can't do that and not announce it for everyone else, too. It's just as well, because everything will have the best impact when we play it in the game itself. I just wonder about all the goodies that we're gonna get that they're keeping under wraps. :D

New FemShep? Like her in the original drawing, but not in the poster so much. In the poster her face is rounder, and she has a cute little button nose and tiny mouth...meh. Don't get me wrong, the art is epic with all the detail and such, but she looks very short, skinny, and round-faced, which makes her look 16. When I saw the partial poster, the desktop background, she looked fine except that she was a little "cute" in the face. But the full poster makes her look like a skinny awkward teenager. The original art was very nice, her face was long and lean, very characterized nose, she filled out her armor, etc. The red hair doesn't help her case. People with red hair always look younger to me for some reason. Lol. For the record, I voted for the blonde twice...still wish we had a strong blonde character in the game. Plus, it would've been a blast to see a Skylar-look-alike in the FemShep trailer and on the CE box. I didn't think by any stretch of the imagination that the new default Shep would look anything like her, so I got really excited when she did. *Sigh* But, I can't complain too much, since the original Jane had red hair; this keeps it pretty consistent.
