If you're worried about it, I would say get yourself a beta. That's what I did, since I'm not sure I can write Joker correctly either, or any/all of the other characters other than Shepard.

oooooh. Congrats on even trying to right one. I could never do any of the characters justice.
If you ever come up with a version you like, I'd love to read it.

Aw, thank you for the encouragement. ^-^ I really appreciate it. ... I don't know what you mean by a beta though, viggorrah. Do you just mean someone to proof read it?

Oh, sorry, yeah that's what I meant. Someone to just look over your stuff and make sure everyone's in character and the like.

Ok, I take back what I said at the top of the page. If Joker's not an LI, then here's to hoping Vega is. 'Cause Ryla would totally want a piece of that.

I'd go for him too, but i feel that i need a forever alone Shepard to silently protest incase the unthinkable happens and Joker isn't an LI.

Hmm, yes you have an excellent point. Great, now I need to make another femShep strictly for Vega, assuming he's actually an LI.

I applaud people's dedication in doing in a forever-alone playthroughs. I can't get my Sheps to go through both games without romancing someone...

To be honest, I think that femShep's romance options are terrible. I hate Jacob, I'm not much for romancing Thane although I do like him as a character, and I just can't see Garrus with Shepard. I guess I'm in the minority with such thinking.

It's just my opinion though. There's really no need to go spreading it around.

EDIT: Damn formatting!

As if you weren't doing another playthrough in the next 3 months.

Your not in the minority, I don't really like the romance objects either. Garrus's my bro, not my ho Garrus's my second in command, Thane had just dealt with his kid, and it felt like a horrible time, and Jacob feels like a one night stand you never talk to again cause his priiiiize wasn't as good as he said it was.

PS: I can't talk well at the moment. Please ignore the horrible, but clever jokes.

My main F!Shep romanced Garrus, and he is my favorite LI ME2, Kaidan might be my fav LI of the series after ME3, but both of them would be blown away by Joker if he were to be an LI. My main F!Shep Virmired Kaidan thinking that would somber Ashley and she could have angsty, emotional issues relating to killing off her flirty friend, but no. No picture on her desk and nothing gone on for ME1, and then on my second playthrough of ME2 with the character I "romanced" Samara, so this toon is ripe for realizing a real relationship (hopefully with the best damn pilot in the Alliance military (or whatever that exact reference is)).

Naahhhh Garrus is my BFF and my LI. XD I can easily see him in either position (shows his reach and flexibility). Thane - not so much. He's still mourning his wife, and his family life is delicate. And you can't beat him in the angst department...

Shep: I was dead for two years.
Thane: I was dead for ten!
Me: ...You ass. Let Shepard have a "pity me" moment for once!

That is one reason why I like Jacob though - you romance him, he lets you vent. As for me, Jacob is just my bro.

I'm kinda glad that I have one Kaidan-faithful Shep even though he isn't my top LI (Garrus is). I heard his romance scenes are gonna be steamy in ME3, and my inner fangirl went: BOOYAH.

But this just makes me ache for a Joker romance. I want to see what it's like, I want questions answered, I want to grin like an idiot for days, and I want to giggle like a schoolgirl and partially cover my eyes when some sexy time comes. (I still do this when I romance Zevran.) 



@Mademon: You can do it! Joker is a bit hard to write - he's very witty, and complex once you sit back and analyze him. What's helped me is to read other fanfiction and get an idea.

Don't be sorry! =)
I'll definitely seek someone out when I have a draft which is at an appropriate stage.

... I just realized I had Totp ... That's never happened before.
Do I need to host an image on my own or do most people just hotlink?
I assume there must be an etiquette.

Just find whatever Joker-related picture you like and post.

I've read a few Joker fics and though some were awesome ... I worry that my own writing would be that of the group which was ... not so awesome. Lol, but I'm working at it!

I felt Jacob was down right rude in some of his flirtations. Thane as well, but he had redeaming sensitivity.
Haha, and I listened to the Sbarge audio ... journal ... thing, as well!

One of my main problems for writing Joker is that ... I can't see him taking the first move, and so if I have Shepherd do it, then there's the huge question as to whether he was even interested when he/she did. I started one draft at the end of ME2 (more or less), picturing a greatful F!Shep yanking him forward in his seat for a comical "thank you" smooch, but the way that was going, I saw Joker just stagnating and never bringing it up again. See my previous rant about his development in ME2. =P

Ah, yes. This is also very helpful. Especially when trying to write a character like Vega, whom we have barely any information about. I've written a couple scenes with him outside of the ones in the leaked beta videos, and it's downright terrible because I don't know how to write him (I just watched the videos; I didn't go anywhere near the script).

Anyway, back to Joker, let's see if I can find a good Joker/Shep fic...try this one: Crippled. (I sincerely hope no one's linked to it already. Otherwise I'm gonna feel like an idiot.)

If you roleplayed a gay male Shepard, you could see how effortlessly it would be for him to stay alone.

No, you're definitely not alone. Yesterday my female cousin told me: "Did you know that Raphael Sbarge recorded the message for FemShep after Horizon?" "Yeah, why are you so thrilled? Are you a Kaidan fan?" "Yes, he's the only decent romance option for FemShep" "Wait, you don't like the other options?"  "No. Garrus is like a little brother for my Shepard. She couldn't romance him. Thane is too much drama for my taste. And Jacob... well, Jacob is Jacob."

Kaidan is currently the most popular male LI by far, but I suspect that if Joker were already a romance option, he would give him a run for his money.

[phantomdragoness]

So apparently Mademon inspired me to write a one-shot...but I wrote it when I was half asleep. O_o I'll uh...I'll edit it before I post the thing. If I can read my handwriting...D:

To those who don't think Garrus is a good LI...YOU'RE ALL RACIST.



XD I'm kidding. That opportunity was too good to pass up. *hugs and runs away giggling*

You can do either action.

If you want to hotlik just type By: NamiraWilhelm, then highlight the artists name, then
click the 'Insert/Edit link' button, then copy and paste the URL of the
picture you found into the URL box, click okay, and you're done.

What i do, i right click on the image i want to use and select 'copy image url', then i'll put the image brackets around it (so [img ] at the front and [/ img] at the end, without the spaces)

Oh, well it's good to know I'm not the only one! And yeah, I'd be willing to bet that Joker could easily become a contender for "Most Popular Male LI". I believe he's got a good-sized fanbase (we're just the most vocal of it), so I think it's definitely possible.

My fellow Jokerites!



Yup, the Monty Python reference speaks the truth! Your old buddy Torsk is still kicking. I've just been spending some time away from the thread. I spent all morning catching up on the 9 pages I missed. Y'all have been doing great keeping the thread burning! And Vigg, it's nice to see that you've become a regular and the thread greeter! Also, your Joker avatars are full of win, if I might say so.

And count my Diana Shepard in for the "Forever Alone" achievement if Joker isn't an LI in ME3... I am incapable of seeing her with anyone else. Seriously, there's like a wall there.

Aaanyway, seeing as how I missed the chance to throw my two cents in when we had the discussion a few days ago, I can only think of one thing to name my robot dog. A name that symbolizes a much-loved sidekick in the sci-fi genre that speaks from the heart even though you can't understand a darn thing he says...

I would name my robo-dog Chewie.

I have a t-shirt that says "I'm not dead yet" from Spamalot...for that, you get a cookie!



And good to see yah, Omega!

[SilentK]

Hia Omega =) nice to see you!

Ohh... I wasn't here either when the robot-doggie-name thing was up for discussion. But since you brought it back I get a second chance. Love Chewie by the way.

I will name the dog Love. And no, it is not "Lurve" the sweet emotion that we would like to discuss further with Joker, sans EDI. It is actually a guys name in Swedish. I really like it. My brothers team had one guy called Love on it. They had a game against a team from the US. When the commentator said " and now Love get's out on the ice" you could hear collective stifled laughs from the other side of the rink. No problem, he gave their team some tough love and they won. So, that is what I'm naming the dog. Love, but it isn't "Love = ", it's just a regular name for me. And if anyone teases my doggie, he can give them some tough love.

[viggorrah]

@Omega: Good to hear from ya! I think it's awesome I have an unofficial title in the thread now. XD I've been around for a while (I'm very good at lurking), but I just began posting consistently again once the Twitter fiasco happened and then I stuck around. And thank you very much; I'm glad you like them!

[dpMeggers]

Robodog - If we're going with much loved and unintelligable I propose Artoo.(As in R2).

Also Joker - his green eyes will be the death of me.

It isn't hard if you consider the majority of NPCs to be shallow and uninteresting.

It also isn't hard if you get into the mind-set of your Shepard, who in my case wasn't about to get romantically or physically involved with anyone under her command, in case it affected her ability to lead, make command decisions. She also wouldn't risk losing her authority or the respect of her crew.

It's both, in my case. No offense to people who like the Mass Effect NPCs. I'm just not particularly interested in any of them.

Edit: I'd like to point out I don't hate any of the characters in ME. I think they're well written and the voice acting is superb. I merely feel nothing, utterly nothing, when interacting with them.

Joker's eyes.... so purty....

And i do agree with Kaiden being the only good LI. The rest are too priiiizy/broish/dramaish.
