oh, lucy maire, i misunderstood you. i remember now you mentioned your dream. (btw, it's kind of like when you have one of those wonderful happy dreams and you wake up and feel so bummed to realize it wasn't real. i've had a thane dream like that. *sigh*)

anyway, i don't know whether to keep tweeting them or not. i mean, they know we are here, don't they? they don't really want to acknowledge us, i guess, and i don't want them to feel justified in blowing us off. "they are just some really PASSIONATE (sarcasm ala dr. muzyka) fans, nothing to pay any mind to." i think maybe strength in numbers is what we need. i hope all the me2 romancers are tweeting about it, that might help more than anything.

Yeah it was a lot like that. I woke up and thought they were really into curing Thane. If only...

Haha I hated that he said that, it was just so utterly condescending. I think we should keep tweeting them. I mean, they can't ignore us forever, can they? I agree, strength in numbers is good. We need more people...at least we have persistence.
Other ME2 romancers must be tweeting about it. Thane fans aren't the only crazy ones, are we? On the other hand, that would explain a lot.

Is there a "Me3 Needs More Thane" on Twitter? I don't have an account, but I was looking @MassEffect and someone named "ME3 Needs More Jack" got a nice response. :) And I'd like to be able to just "ctrl+find" conversations about Thane, but since @MassEffect never says his name, and I can't see the people who tweet to them, I can't find the discussions without just clicking "In reply to---" for every post. lol


Go make a ME3 Needs more Thane! IT sounds like a cool idea... and it would make me and Cosmochyk not look like the only two Thane fans taking it to the streets...

Awwww, I wish I would have named it ME3 Needs More Thane! D: I just went with my username. We could, as a group, get together and share the PW and such. I don't mean to suffocate them, but they were super speedy and nice. I was extra polite too.


@MassEffect Love the series and happy with ME3, but ME2 is still my favorite. :) Any idea of how to request more Thane Krios? :DD

@niemalna Sounds like you just did. :) Will pass along your request. Thanks for your support!

So the Twitter page said something about going to the Facebook to message feedback, and I saw a T-shirt design contest. Now, I wasn't expecting Thane to even be there. But he was actually on a shirt.

In the corner. On the back. Away from everyone else other than Jack.
Sad days.

I'd have no problem helping with an ME3 Thane twitter acct! And great idea about fanfic! Others on here must have pages...and tumblr people!! I don't have one but I could get one that is Thane specific and then share the info so I'm not solely responsible! (Just can't commit the time). Thoughts?

LOL...I am in a mood tonight. The drunk Smithy in Redcliff when you tell him you'll look for his daughter but not before the promise to do so, "Not good enough." That is my response to where Thane is located.

All anyone needs to do is hit me up and ask me, I'm no artist but I have plenty of time (husband works, I stay home).  Just point me in the right direction.  For Thane, I'd run through Hell in a gasoline g-string.

I got a response on a tweet regarding Thane DLC - "we will let the team know, thanks"
I think they are just placating everyone. Although I figured if I started with something I liked about ME3 then perhaps I'd get something...

@utaker - let me know if you need help! I'll check out tumblr tomorrow, but I'll need a name suggestion!

I want to keep Tweeting, to keep them aware of how very serious I am, but at the same time I think once they see the username + Thane again they just go, "Same guy. Ignore or say something short and sweet like 'Thanks for the feedback.'" They're timely, and I want to keep up the pressure, but I don't want to annoy them. Just wish there was someone who'd be willing to have a whole conversation/discussion about it so that I'd feel more comfortable reaching out.

that's why i would like to get more people on board, and why it would help if all the me2 romancers would join in.  the tricky part is that some people still haven't played or finished and get very pissy if you spoil it for them, so it is hard for me to just put out a public call for support.

testing  --  sorry, post didn't show up for a minute, thought maybe they locked my crazazy butt out of here!  would be a total rage moment if that happened.  it helps so much to be able to share my frustration and disappointment and happy memories as well!

<3

Thought I'd post my Fanfic real quick, as I leave to work on scholarships.
Any feedback would be great! I'd like to update it since it's been a few years. If we aren't allowed to make these kinds of links (its rated T btw) just let me know~

i told niemalna i would post mine if she would post hers.  i also hope it is not against tos or something, especially as mine is rated m.  just to be safe, instead of linking i will say that you can search fanfiction.net for author name braxy29 to find mine, or look at "The Krios Network" community for lots of thanely goodness.

most of what i have listed in favorite stories over there are thane fics, so definitely check them out!  a few are super-m, a few are romantic, and as i mentioned earlier today, there is an excellent me3 spec!fic that is how i wish me3 had gone!)  there are really some amazing authors in the fanfic world.

And it's totally infuriating - but perhaps it's because they don't want to open the can of worms?? Or Pandora's box? They know if they come by it will be countless posts???

And so it should be dammit! Thane & Shep deserve better!


I think you hit the nail on the head. They're probably scared off by our ... intensity. lol They seem reluctant to address the ending complaints directly as well because they know if they engage fans there will be a deluge of questions, complaints and input directed at them. Something similar happened to Patrick Weekes and he stopped answering questions. It's easier for them to stay silent, I suppose.

We just have to hope they're listening and taking our feedback into consideration.

I posted this in the Thane thread but I'll link to it here as well. If you haven't already done so, participate in the romance survey: http://social.biowar.../index/10290010

Could be another good way to make our voices heard, regarding the poor treatment of Thane and his romance.

Somebody post the Twitter link? Why can't I win the lottery and be here all day? I need to win really big, do a hostile takeover, fire the writing/development staff, and hire staff that actually listen to what the fans want and are willing to pay for.

Is that too much to ask for?
