Speaking of Dragon Age Confessions....I actually follow the site and as much as those confessions annoy me...some of the confessions do have some great screenshots. I like how they distinguish themselves from the other confession sites.

Agree that they're often quite annoying. In what way do you think they distinguish themselves exactly? Because of the screenshots? I don't follow any other confession sites regularly, just posts here and there, so I am curious.

I like that they don't rip of the style of Bioware Confessions and other sites.  And they actually used a pic of mine awhile back and sent me a request through my photobucket.

I told them  they can use my screenshots whenever they need to.

My early stuff is kind of cringeworthy.   My beta reader has really helped me alot but I know there are far better writers.

I think I evolved when I got out of my Alistair/Cousland stage.

Beta-readers are great... until they spork your fics.

Anyway, the point is that all writers evolve, for as long as they keep writing. I shudder when I reread some of my early stuff, and other parts make me think "You know, that kind of doesn't make me want to vomit."

It's tempting to erase all of it from your hard drive, but it's important to keep it around to remind you of where you've been. And honestly, we're never going to make money off this stuff. All that matters is that we have fun while we're doing it.

I need to start looking at people's tags. I didn't see that you had fic as well. Thank the Maker... I was starting to run out of reading material. (I have been scanning some smut on the adult fan fic site though. Tee hee!)

I like this one you posted earlier because it looks like he's licking his teeth. I'm not sure why but I find it incredible hot when guys do that. Unless they're picking out spinach or something.

You are awesome. I feel so bad for the mods there when "ownership" of screenshots come up yet again. We were just chuckling about that recently when I ran across one of my screenshots used (without permission, but whatever)  by dirtydragonageconfessions. LOL

I agree. I've never gotten ridden of them

My first fic was called Seven Months....a miracle baby fic and after all this time people still send me reviews and I think its utter crap.

My Second fan fic...the greatest review I got was someone posted a review that I made them cry. 

I've branched off into minor characters like Teagan because I feel like there are aspects I can explore.

The Varel fic was inspired bu his loyalty to the Warden Commander

LOL Yeah, I can't believe they (she?) got a screenshot with him licking his lips or whatever. Awesome. Most of my screenshots of him talking end up looking derpy.

That's one that I just read. Are you going to continue it or is it finished? I was curious as to how it all pans out.

[LolaLei]

Omg it totally does look like he's licking his teeth/lips! I never noticed that!

I won't be offended if you don't like it. I try to be fair to all the characters, but some appear much more often than others. I am trying to work Fenris in more. He's a fascinating character, even if this particular Hawke can't form relationships that survive separation.

But yeah, I know what you mean about reading peoples' stuff. Since I've got an abyssmal memory, I make it a point not to read pairings I ship unless they're decidely AU for fear of accidental plagiarism, but some of the off-beat pairings are well-thought-out and highly entertaining.

Me too. Totally. And then I discovered FRAPS (and I accidentally typed FAPS, which is *totally* different). FRAPS is great. Make your movie and make as many screen caps as you like. And if you screw it up and get him with his eyes closed or whatever, you replay the clip and try again. Much less annoying than living with your finger on "print screen".

berelinde, if you don't mind my asking, do you have the paid version then? I  heard the free version only does like 30 second clips...? Since I only dabble I am always reticent to "commit" by paying for something like that. But, I've heard of folks using it so frequently it sounds like it might be worth it...

Long is fine with me. I'm a quick reader. I just have to save them for "mommy's quiet time" which isn't often due to summer vacation! lol I'm hoping to start one of them tomorrow during his nap... if I can get the little booger to take one.
