Yeah I've visited the site sincea round that time too, and I think it's a good thing to actually go by the rules of your own site, though I can't say I agree with them... I do not specially care for lyrics in fanfiction, but I think since fanfiction itself is using copyrighted things -in the first place-, it doesn't make a lot of sense. And for the rest of the stuff, I never had a problem with them, specially because if you have a story in the real world like Supernatural (they have a car, they listen to rock music, they reference real-world things all the time), you cannot avoid copyrighted stuff. And real people, etc. Which they don't allow apparently.
I have enjoyed them if only for artistic freedom, and there is a ME fanfic just about Shepard and Garrus talking through email messages -it's very good for the first few chapters at least. I'm not sure it is against the rules but it kinda sounds like it. I see no reason for it to be bad though.
It's artistically restrictive, and I don't want to support that. But it's their site and they can do what they want with it.
Anyway my problem is with:
1. never being able to see some fics again lol, but what can you do, some people aren't around anymore to back up their fics
2. the horrible, horrible bullies and flamers who are making clubs to gather everyone to flame and bully people (who are often kids) into changing their stories to fit the rules or quit the website. They're like 4chan and youtube in one place, and all the bad parts of the BSN. (and they do report what implies mature content - if they can't get stories down, they flame the author to death) They know you could just warn the authors and be polite and constructive, but all the people who talk to them get is the usual "freedom of speech" excuse people use to be jerks.
Yeah, it's their site, so their rules, but I'll be sad to see a lot of those fics go, especially while so much drivel is sure to remain
I will never understand the "freedom of speech" argument - rights only ever go so far that they do not impinge on other's rights. If your "freedom of speech" is violating someone's right to feel safe, it is not your right ot freedom of speech! People seem to forget that responsibilities are more important than rights, and they have to work together to have a proper system.

So, I don't really remember seeing anyone link this fanfic before. I stumbled across it earlier today and just finished reading it and thought I'd share.It's actually a story about Hannah Shepard and Sparatus during Relay 314 on Shanxi- with the occasional reference of Shep and Garrus. There were a couple disjointed moments in the story line and the occasional grammatical error here and there... but I thought the overall story was great.
Xenoprudes beware, there is some pretty awesome lovin in some of the chapters, which I'm actually sorry you wont want to read/will skip over because it's pretty good LOL
The Translation in Blood
Sparatus and Hannah Shepard? Interesting. *bookmarked*
There was a short fanfic with Hannah Shepard and Nihlus floating around here somewhere. I thought that was an interesting match-up...although I believe the author ended the story right when it got really good.

My feeling on the matter is, if it's rated, and there are warnings on the site about adult content... WTF is the problem?
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE OFFENDED OR SCARED, DON'T BE. ( I don't me a you specifically, I mean anyone in general)
Go read something else or stick with kiddie ratings. Seriously.
It's not like I see much advertising on that site that they need to worry about losing money from sponsors that don't want risque subjects or anything...
Aight, sorry for the rant... Im just ragging over the possibility of so many great stories that I love going poof over delicate sensibilities.

Parental controls on browsing are a joke to any kid over the age of 7 with an IQ over 75.

Ohhhh this fic. I love this fic. It was originally a kmeme fill. That got finished (praise Jeebus).
Sparatus. UNF. This fic convinced me to LIKE Sparatus. Also, he is written to be quite hilarious and different to how we know him in the games, but this doesn't go unexplained. Hannah and Sparatus' relationship is written so well. It's really endearing. But yes, my fellow xenoprudes be warned. It does have a few explicit scenes scattered throughout the second half.

I was thinking, as Shepard is curled up when she wakes up... and we know Garrus went to get some water, hence why he was up (according to the message he sends you on the app thingy)... her position perhaps suggests they were spooning... any thoughts?

Good god epilogue to "Mum" (proper english! xD) is fantasmically amazing and i do hope theres more on this interpretation of Shepard and her post-war years.
Its just too good.

That epilogue made me really happy when I saw it. Sure, the 'action-guns-blood' part doesn't really exist in the story line, but it's a heartwarming family picture with main characters who really stay in character. Even the children seem to be somehow 'real' and not just small adults, a thing I'd consider quite hard to achieve.

Wait, you aren't suggesting that fanfiction containing violence and/or graphic sex are "impinging on other's rights" or "violating someone's right to feel safe" are you?
Oh god No! That wasn't clear - it was a rant against flamers and bullies attacking the stories and the authors, and using "freedom of speech" to justify their disgusting behavior! (Also applies to a lot of the BSN these days
If there are warnings I fail to see the problem - you knew what you were getting into, it's your problem.

Gotcha. I was a little confused, but you cleared it up. Obviously thought you meant it as related to the stories, hence my little outburst lol.

Was someone looking for a gif of the Earth base kiss on flycam? Or maybe it was the Citadel date. Either way, here's the Earth kiss. Wait, is it flycam? Damnit, I have no idea

If it is a flycam scene (not sure myself), then the angle is one of the few tolerable ones. View the scene from the other side and you'll see one of the most severe cases of clipping in the whole triology - both face meshes intersect each other.
Great Shepard-Garrus picture above! And the card is priceless
Edit: ToP again. Okay, about the London kiss:
It is okay until here...

... and from here on:

Most of the frames between aren't really pretty unless the point of view is somewhere behind so that the faces aren't visible.
