Love Interest Appreciation
Project 2: The LI Tribute
************************************
The Final Version of the PDF is now available: http://kiwi6.com/file/ia5gn5a30m
***********************************

If you can, please donate to cover the costs of the book printing, here: http://litributebook...e-tribute-book. Our original estimate was off by a lot! Any amount helps!
************************************
The Tribute Has Been Delivered!
*************************************

After the resounding success of “The Book” (which can be read about here: http://social.biowar...ndex/10853184/1), the product of the PAX LI Appreciation Project, where in just six days, we gathered 130 fan letters and over 30 pieces of fan-art, bound it in a beautiful, 200 page book and presented it to the BioWare panel at PAX East, we wanted to further demonstrate our desire for more romance content to BioWare.

Because Project 1 "The Book" was pure LI/character feedback, we wanted to focus Project 2 "The Tribute" more on Shepard and her/his LI. Fanart, screenshots and fan-letters were accepted for this project, mostly focusing on Shepard and their love interest(s).

Thank you to everyone who participated! Please give us a few days to compile all the contributions. Once done, a .PDF will be made available for all. But don't leave just yet, we still need your help!

We're planning on making a physical edition of The Tribute (just like we did with The Book) and will be sending it to BioWare! We'll be taking donations soon as we get a final estimate of how much all this will cost to print, so please if you can, help us out!

Is this just for known love interests or does it include love interests and those who've expressed interest or seem open to an encounter?

Like Shiala, or Gianna Parasini?

[Emeraldfern]

I'm going to ask a somewhat derp questions but...
If we feel like donating both writing and art is that ok?
And is art that was displayed in "The book" eligible to be re-used for this project?

Regardless, awsome idea!

I'm donating both myself writing and fanart myself.

I think this is a great idea.

Perfect! I am in the process of writing a Garrus/Shep one-shot now! I'll submit it when I am done!

EDIT: The OP corrected me, it's not fanfic! I read wrong, I apologize for any confusion!

BOTH is perfectly fine!

As to art that was displayed in The Book, it's only eligible to be recycled if it has Shepard + LI in it.

[kookie28]

So you want us to write only fan-fiction? Sorry if I misunderstood the post.

[Cyansomnia]

Excellent. I'll make sure to submit some goodies, when I get the time.

I have several Shepards I could write about, since I romanced everyone (if that's OK).

[JECW]

I didn't think it was suppose to be fanfic.

Not... exactly.

What do you think your Shepard and Miranda see in each other? Is your Shepard an Akuze survivor, and does that bad blood with Cerberus ever give him pause in pursuing a relationship with Miranda? How do you see their relationship play out? I think everyone roleplays with these relationships to some extent- this is just putting a bit of your headcannon down on paper.

Alternatively, you could also just send us screenshots of your Shep+LI, or fanart of Shep & LI.

@Aislinn Trista,

Only one letter per LI, but lots of images for each are more than welcome.

No, I read it wrong. I apologize for the confusion. I also blame the meds I'm on...damn allergies.

[Hadeedak]

Well, for starters, my picture of Thane and femShep stands available for reuse. But... I'll see what I can make/scrounge up!

[FRANCESCO84Inn]

hi, thanks for this second opportunity,

this screenshot its take from ME2

my Female Shepard Barbara whit Liara

Barbara Shepard is an Spacial, she is born on ship, not have planet or house, the Galaxy is the only house, she is Biotic and she is an real heroin,

Barbara Shepard love Liara, she is the only reason to fight, she is the reason to live.

[wildannie]

Great idea! count me in

[blueshepard]

Great idea - I will definately contribute Thanks for coming up with this!

[mnomaha]

This is an awesome idea!!! And even I can come up with a screenie or two!!

Thanks Visii!

[CptData]

If you want I can contribute several (if not hundreds ^^) of dialogues with Shepard and Ashley (and friends).
Right now it's the only way to deal with the lack of significance and emotional attachment displayed in the game. Seriously, Ashley's romance feels not just incomplete. It simply doesn't display the "you mean everything for me". She appears more to be his fling, not a lover. The "I love you's" sound nice, but hollow if you consider the lack of interaction between all those romance scenes in the second half of the game,

[Aryss0410]

The idea is for these 'letters' to consist of your impressions of particular LIs. What made them alluring to you? What did you love about them? Why did your Shepard choose them out of all of the other options?

That's stuff of ME1 in my case, since ME3 lacks most of those qualities - I need -heavy- headcanoning including those dialogues just to find out why I cared for my fave character that much.

Not being able to play a second playthrough in ME3 says a lot, huh?

[Totally Not Swaggacide]

I will contribute for Ashley!

[gearseffect]

Despite my last statement I can't just turn my back, ehh It's like just giving up deciding it's better to just runing from the problem, I really can't stand people who tuck and run when things get hard so I'm back. When is the deadline for this project?

Because I going to replay ME2 to get some screen shots of my Shepard and Samara, and I'm going to be writing some stuff for this project too.

[CptData]

Okay - I'm going to type down a text. Dunno if I can keep it at page length - which size and font are you going to use? What's the format of your page?

I have a lot to type down, it may hit 2 pages count ...

[imp187]

That is the spirit we need gearseffect... and even though most of my effords go into supporting Jack i would love to have a real romance option with samara!

[Lawrence0294]

Count me in guys
