I have just started to publish my first fanfiction on Fanfiction.net. While I have been writing for a number of years, this is the first time I have put anything on the internet for public viewing, and I look forward to hearing any and all feedback (positive or negative).

The story revolves mostly around original characters, though there are several cameos and one established ME character as a mainstay in the story. It is set at the start of the Reaper invasion, and I've done my best not to deviate from established lore.

For anyone who cares to check it out, here is the link (it can also be found in my signature, obviously)


Mass Effect: Event Horizon

[dpMeggers]

It comes highly recommended.

[Drussius]

Thank you for the kind words! Much appreciated.

[Drussius]

I had expected to get Chapter Two up a little earlier than this, but I wanted to take one more pass through it to make a few revisions. I would like to thank those of you who were kind enough to take an interest in my story.

Chapter 2 is now online.

[Drussius]

For those who are following my story, Chapter 3 is now online.

[Drussius]

After an unintended delay due to personal matters, Chapter 4 is finally up.

[Drussius]

And here is Chapter 5!

I would like to thank my readers for their kind reviews and their interest. I appreciate it more than I can put into words.

[Drussius]

My creativity has been at a bit of a high point recently. And so, thankfully, Chapter 6 is already up!

[PSYCHOxMONSTER]

I haven't read all of it but what I have is good, a lot better then most of the fan fics out there.

[Drussius]

Thank you very much for the kind words. If you keep reading it, I hope you continue to enjoy it!

[Drussius]

Here we go again! Chapter 7, for those who are reading the story.

[Drussius]

And now, I present to all interested parties... Chapter 8!

[Drussius]

And once again, a new chapter is ready. Thankfully I've been able to keep my updates fairly consistent in timeframe over the last few chapters. and so, without further ado: Chapter 9 

[Drussius]

A day later than I hoped for, but Chapter 10 is now online.

[Drussius]

Never thought I'd be happy to say something like this, but I have reached Chapter 11! (Bad financial joke ) Enjoy!

[Drussius]

And onward to Chapter 12! Happily, I'm keeping my pace pretty well. Here's hoping I can keep it up.

[Drussius]

Still rolling right along. Now I can present to any and all followers of my story... Chapter 13!

[Drussius]

Right on schedule, Chapter 14 is now up for viewing. Thank you to everyone who had read/is going to read my story. The interest means a lot!

[Drussius]

My schedule continues uninterrupted! For followers of the story (and anyone else who is interested), here is Chapter 15!

I have read parts of it and found it good overall. However, I experienced the constant switching of timelines as tiring and stopped reading altogether.

[Drussius]

Fair enough. I knew the converging timelines wouldn't be to everyone's taste. And I really appreciate the honesty regarding why you stopped reading. As those who are still reading have surely noticed, the timelines are slowly converging as I finish up backstory elements, and eventually there will just be the one, but I can definitely see how it could get tiresome to certain readers.
I'm sorry it wasn't for you overall, but I truly want to thank you for giving it a chance. It means a lot.

I find that I usually dislike time changes and such specially when they are all over the place. There were several different times in this story but they are well marked and flowed well so I didn't mind it, it was actually like reading a few stories in one and they were all very very good.

[Catastrophy]

It's mostly a matter of personal preference, but maybe it could be worth it to consolidate larger bits of timeline without sacrificing the overall style. Personally I found the Massani part especially interesting.

[Drussius]

I figured it would be a matter of preference. I actually wrote three full chapters before I ever posted one, and in its original form, it started far too slow. If you actually go through, ignore all of the "Now" timeline entries and just read the past stuff, that was the original content. The converging timelines helped the pacing dramatically, although there are still minor issues. But now that 15 chapters are posted and 19 actually written, going back and consolidating it all into larger sections isn't an option. Changing large swaths of the story would be an incredible annoyance for readers who have followed the entire story to date.

But I do appreciate the insight. I figured there were a few people that felt this way, though you're the first to actually say it. And as I said before, I appreciate the honesty. This format was entirely new for me and I've struggled here and there with it, but I think it's the best presentation I could manage for this particular story. Is it perfect? No. Would I write all my stories this way? Not at all. But in this case it seems to be working fairly well for some, while others just aren't into it. But I can accept that. No story is going to appeal to everyone.

And once again, thank you to you and everyone else who gave my story a chance. And those of you who are still reading it have my heartfelt gratitude as well, of course. The support and the criticisms are all appreciated.

[Catastrophy]

No problem, you need to do it as you see fit. Once you complete the story it will be possible to see in one piece.
