I like reading other people view of their Shepard and how that Shep interacts with others.

I enjoy the most is femShep stories though. Not a fan of Sheploo.(no thanks to Mark Meers horrid VA for a paragon Shep.)

Seems petty to dislike Maleshep fanfics just because of Mark Meer's preformance.

I'm a fan of minor character fics. I think that's one of the main fanfic purposes - filling in the blanks left by the original writers.

There are so many interesting minor characters in ME (Lorik Qui'in, Nihilus Kryik, Gardener etc.) that must have great backstories currently unknown to us in detail. I like writers who can flesh out these kind of people.

That may be, but I just don't care about maleShep.  I rented ME from Gamefly when it first came out and used maleShep.  I didn't get past Eden Prime before I said screw this and mailed it back.  After a few months, I bought a used copy and created a femShep and fell in love with the game.

So, yea, I don't care for Sheploo.  Even though I have since created five of them to do the maleShep romances.  I play more with femShep.

 I'm liking A Star To Steer Her By  ( www.fanfiction.net/u/2812388/ShadesOfMauve ), but then, I'm pretty much a sucker for anything Joker related.  I like FemShep stories because I play FemShep, so trying to read a story where Shepard is male just throws me for a loop.  I think Mark Meer's voice acting is fairly decent, but my first play through was a FemShep, and Jennifer Hale just owns any role she plays.

[Enigmatick]

Meer in ME2 for Paragon > Hale in ME2 for paragon.

Also I don't really like the ME fanfics a good 90% is just romance fluff or SI talimancers. Is it really that hard to invent an OC (or a using a prexisting minor character) in the MEverse and give them an intresting story that doesn't involve teaming with shep and stopping the reapers

Hale owns Meer when it comes to voicing Shepard (paragon or renegade).  I still can't deal with him even in ME2 but it's slightly better than ME.

My favorite is Razor's Edge. It is basically a novelization of Mass Effect 2 that does a brillient job with adapting the plot to a writen form, adding to the interation and dialoge of/between charecters, charecterization of Shepard and a few of the squadmembers (mosty Garrus, and Tali); all while not departing from the events in the game. Everything that is changed is done so due to the shift from a video game to a writen work or were very minor details to begin with. What is added does not clash with or weaken was is already there, but in my opinion renforced what story it told in the game.

What It most well done of this story is the charecterization Shepard is given.  It is very cool to see a in depth take on a possible Shepard and how he could react, whether it falls in line with your cannon Shepard or not.

It is a bit slow early on, but really picks up around the 4th-5th chapter point (out of 34 chapters) and the continues to improve throughout the entire story.

There is also a shorter sequel following the events of the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC called Razor's Edge: Dark Witness. It deviates much more from the DLC then the previous instalments, but still works out well and is a interesting take on the story.

I personally have no problem with either voice actor. I think they are both have moments were they are good, and some that they are not. Of course this is just my opinion and I can't stop (nor should expect being able  to) others  from having differing opinions.

Anyhow is off topic, so back to Fanfic talk

will be taking a look at those fanfics. im always tempted to script shepards story just to see how my canon differs from other players. theres no standard way to compare shepards either but thats a different issue ive been working on, only tangentially related to the fanfic angle. definitely checkin out the razors edge stuff tho, sounds fun

[Crisp Morning]

Is it odd that FF.net was what led me to these forums rather than the other way around?

Anyway, there are some pretty good stories around, but you have to sift through a thousand crap SI/Talimancer stories to get to them. It makes me really sad, since Tali is my FAVOURITE character (I just don't identify as a Talimancer)

So, if you're looking for one of the greatest humour stories of all time, you can't go past Gabby & Ken.

http://www.fanfictio...1/Gabby_and_Ken

JoelLaTurkey is one of the best around at combining humour with emotion.

But, for action, drama, romance and sheer readability, you can't go past MadeNightwing's stories. Dunno if he promotes himself on these forums, but he's sort of the acknowledged in house master of action stories amongst the ME FF regulars. He also puts an incredible amount of research into his stories, covering various aspects of canon from the games and books.

To pick my favourite three:

http://www.fanfictio...oodnight_Saigon

http://www.fanfictio...ght_To_The_Head

http://www.fanfictio...1/Changing_Fate

Take a read through them, you won't be dissapointed.

[MissMaster]

Mm. I only read FemShep/ Garrus fics, I would post them but they are M and would make me look like a straight up perv.

Man, you're missing out on a LOT of good fanfics by only restricting yourself to FemShep Garrus. If nothing else, you gotta give Gabby and Ken a read, you will not regret it, I promise you.

BTW, Crisp, thanks for the free publicity, but I'm not really the best at action stories. Assault Sloth is the best, but he only updates rarely.

Oh sirs, you embarrass me

As a consummate reader of bad fanfiction, I have to say that ME is a [for the most part] classy fandom. The lack of Mshep fics is probably due to the mindset of "all fanfiction writers are girls."

Although we DO have a bizarre amount of self insert fics. Isn't Shepard already a self insert avatar?

[basbaker]

I've only read a few so far, and mainly involving FemShep since I just identify with her more than with a male protagonist. The best I've read to date is Manipulations by akg ( http://www.fanfictio...1/Manipulations ).

Yes, FemShep is the main character and yes it involves a romance with Kaidan. But it's not fluff by any means. The author takes a point somewhere in ME2 after most of the loyalty missions but before the Derelict Reaper mission and tells a believable and compelling story about a pre-resurrection Shep that never had biotics having to learn how to use them post-resurrection. At the same time, the entire team is slowly unraveling an over-arching plot involving Cerberus and their particular interest in Shepard.

Akg's characterizations are spectacular for all of the squad mates, and no one is ignored. Miranda gets particular attention and is one of the most enjoyable characters for me. The author's voice is both humorous and engaging. There is plenty of action and a lot of flashbacks to ME1 missions/situations that I instantly recognized and appreciated.

If you like humor, adventure and wit in your fanfics, you can't go wrong with this one.
