@Data; What ideas did you have for the Ashley project? We need lead writers, secondary writers, artists, a crack research team, reviewers etc. We need organizers, people who can help us organize content, direct and keep track of the inevitable discussions we'll have on a topic, someone to conduct polls, set deadlines, etc. We need to set up a group where most of this will take place. And I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of things.
Right now, I'm in, you're in, Brainheart, Dannycri and that's everyone in an official capacity. I think everyone here can contribute ideas. If anyone else wants sign up though, we need commitments soon.
Thanemancers are moving with the #SaveThane project and Mirandamancers are approaching a deadlines for their #FindMiranda project. We should start soon to make sure we get in our bid for Ash at Bioware.
I think we need to start cataloging Ash's career, mark interesting events for possible explanation or exploration, and breakdown/analyze her character to agree on a few fundamental things about her, to make sure we aren't moving in different directions before we get started.
Maybe we need to dedicate days here, in the fan thread, to discussion to keep this project moving with input from regular posters.
So what do you guys think?
Sorry for the late answer. R/L takes its toll sometimes

Well, the -very- first idea is to create a group, keep it quite closed and invite those we'd like to have in the group. There we can discuss about general organization, who's doing what, how to contribute ideas etc. Next step - once this is set up - is to create a "generic headcanon" - for Ashley, for Shepard. Means. Traits, flaws, habits, past ... you name it. For example not everyone wants a warhero spacer paragon Shepard (that's mine), so we need to discuss about that too.
A nice idea is - if we want to give Bioware something to read - to write three separate books, one for each part.
ME - Sovereign (Working Title)
(Spans the events of ME1 + Prologue + Death of Shepard)
ME - Illusive (Working Title)
(Spans the events after Shepard's death till Ashley receives an anwer on her Horizon letter)
ME - Legend (Working Title)
(Spans the events between ME2 and ME3 plus epilogue)
Theoretically, we could write at all three books at the same time, as soon as we have a set storyline ...
Whatever, just throwing around ideas. Crazy ideas.
Once we know what we do, it's time to do the hard work.
