I hate it when I have a fic in my head, and I know what happens in the middle and how it ends, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to start it /sigh

OMFG story of my whole week.

I've had middle scenes and conversations floating around and I've had to write them down so I don't forget, but then trying to actually... you know...get there. Nothing. Nadda. And then the more I thought about it today, the more the whole thing morphed into something completely else and now I don't even know WTF.

Seriously, I'm sitting here in front of my laptop with Word open staring at a blank page because for the life of me I can't think of how to begin this story... /sigh

Beginnings are *the worst.* Well, besides endings. I don't write fan fiction much anymore (I'm more of an original fiction kind of person) but even if I have what I dub the greatest idea ever, it is SO hard to implement it. I have no idea where to go with it, how to grab the reader's attention and not confuse them...

But after the beginning it smooths out a lot.

Also, Kaidan.

Yeah I'm having the same issue with my original work that I'm having with this fan fiction I'm working on.  Sometimes I can sit down in front of the computer and it works out, other times, I stare at Word and shake my head in frustration.

just leave the beginning blank and start with what you have... you can always come back to it, but can have the part's you know there so less chance of forgetting them.. plus once you have it 'on paper' you can look at it anytime and brainstorm... just a thought

just finished the game for the hundredth time....I didn't get the breathing scene at end aww. Even though i done almost all quests. (except like 4 mini stuff where u have to collect stuff). i also didn't get Anderson shot and Chose destroy.

Oh well when the EC Comes out i will use my real file where i got the breathing scene on.
but i finally finished played through the last part 3 times to get all the clips of all the endings (already have breathing scene so don't need to worry about that).

[AndreasShepard]

Just a question to fellow Kaidanites, would you be ok with the ending if Kaidan had gone up the beam with Shepard and they had both confronted the catalyst together? Obviously resulting in them both being sacrificed for the greater good but at least they would have each other at the end. Not sure if this discussion has been had before since I'm still relatively new to this thread but it's something I've been thinking about the past couple of days.

I just finished again too!  It's been weeks since I played it but for some reason I just got the urge to finish one of my newer playthroughs tonight.  Man it is still depressing, had to watch the romance scene with Kaidan afterwards just to try and feel a little better.

No, because there are still all the issues that are a part of the ending fiasco. The fact that the ending contradicts so much of the Lore of the Mass Effect Universe is really the biggest issue.  Would I have been ok with a scenario where Shepard died and Kaidan was there?  Yes.  Would I have been ok with a scenario that both Shepard and Kaidan died? Yes.  However, the plot holes and issues with the ending go beyond that.

 Kyria killed the thread, so...:innocent:

[Kyria Nyriese]

Yes apparently I'm really good at that this morning... at least I think it's morning, not real sure since I haven't been to bed yet.

2am here. Watching ME2 romance videos and trying to decide who I should romance to cheat on Kaidan...:innocent:

I thought Garrus, but I don't wanna break his heart in ME3, then I picked Thane, since he dies, but...he dies 
Then I thought Jacob and remembered what he does in ME3...


Can I romance two characters? Dang it, Bioware, why give us so many choices??

actually I'm okay with it since I already expect that both of them can die
if only that stupid normandy crash is not exist <_<

[Kyria Nyriese]

OK it's almost 4 am, I'm going to bed now I think. Nighty night my fellow Kaidanites. See ya in a few hours.

and have some Kaidan

No, because I'm so lost in my own reality that nothing short of my headcanon will make me feel any better. And knowing that's not going to happen... Oh well. I've built up my mental defenses, with not only my headcanon but my headcanon's headcannons, ready to fire at the first hint of ME3 depression.
I don't care about my lame puns or attempts at them, it's 1 am and the bazillion millions of Loki on my dashboard threw my mind in to some weird, unreadable state.
I should stop typing and go back to the Shenko fics I'm reading.

I don't believe it would have really been all that much better (better, yes, but not by much).

If Kaidan had followed you up but you were able to send him back before the explosion, or if he didn't come up but you had some other way to ensure that he was spared, or if he followed you up and saved you and you both lived, then I think it would have been quite a bit better (obviously, that last one would have been perfect).

I think the real issue is that Kaidan would still be fighting, even if he didn't make it to the beam. He would not abandon the fight, Earth, or you (none of them would have). There was just no reason for them to be flying away and to crash for no reason on some remote jungle planet, never to be seen or heard from again. Kaidan should have been on Earth, and when the smoke cleared, he should have been able to mourn Shepard's death and help out in the immediate aftermath of the war. (If Shepard survived, of course, then they needed to be reunited, to face the future together.)

I did this when the patch came out.

For some reason, I was playing from a save near the end, and I decided to just go through it again. I felt just as bad as I had the first time I witnessed it.

I laugh when reading that they wanted the ending to ME3 to be something you'd never forget, because I truly will never forget how bad the ending made me feel. There is not a single form of entertainment I've ever experienced that has ever made me feel like this. I really can't explain it, and I won't ever forget it.

Yeah I'm still reeling from the shock of it all and it's been two months now. The only good thing to come out of this has been me realizing just how much I really love these characters and it got me to finally check out these forums and find this great thread.

Love your idea of Kaidan following Shepard up the beam and saving him/her at the end.  I really wish they weren't so commited to not changing the ending because if they're forcing him to be stranded on a jungle planet while Shepard either dies or is in citadel rubble then it's going to be pretty much impossible for that to happen.

this thread is quite today, i haven't been sleep yet. But i think my refresh button is broken as there has not been no new posts in a long while. we need some kaidan pictures

[NRieh]

Ello there, dearest ones!

In case some of kaidanites do not brows general forum much - I drag this one here, into our private nook. And I really-really'd love to know is it true or not...

If you have the iPhone app, Kaidan will e-mail Shepard a day or two 
after you finish the game. The message says "Hey, Commander. Thought I
might come down to see you today--if they let me. Here’s hoping."
To me, that implies Shepard is in the hospital.

Anyone with the app down here?

Sorry hun, that's a glitch in the system. It's supposed to be the first message that comes through at the beginning of the game. I checked it on my app.

Great. They allow such a "minor" glitches to happen, and then wonder, where people get all those ITs from.. 8P

Does not change things, still. Someone mentioned "head cannons for a head canon" here, but I'm about to complete private nuclear-armed head-fortress. "Nothing's gonna change my world"©.
