This one was hard. I hope you like it.

Chapter 13: The Skyllian Blitz

Shepard faces the biggest battle of her life, and she faces it alone. Which is the more challenging enemy - the external one, or the one from within?

Read it on dA or FFN

Due to the holiday this week, I will not be posting this weekend. Instead I will post next weekend, before Dec. 3rd.

Posting a day early!
Because the story is panning out more like a serial than a novel, I've elected to change the "chapters" to "episodes".

Episode 14: Dawn

James' N1 invite leads to a chance encounter that has the potential to screw up all of his plans.

Read it on dA or FFN

Share & Enjoy!

Now that we've reached a milestone in the story, here is the Shega Playlist for TOTGA. Listen and enjoy!

I'm asking everyone this question this week: What was your favorite line from Episode 14?

It makes you feel bad, when you think of it. (that you´ve born too early to experience intergalactic space adventures)

I don't care if I'm ninety years old, when they build the first colony ship, I'll be first in line.

Another twist! Probably kinda gross though, if you think about it. Image IPB

Well, I guess that depends on what your headcanon is. According to game canon, not gross. Unless you're referring to something else... PM me if you are, I'm curious (but don't want to spoil it for others).

On the potentially gross side of things, I've heard about enough interest in the Lola/Raul pairing to warrant the creation of a poll asking whether a mature one-shot is desired by readers. I leave this kind of thing out of the narrative unless it moves the plot forward, but it's implied and I know what happened in each case.

This particular scene would happen after the first scene in chapter 7 (da & ffn). There's enough plotty stuff in it for an actual story arc, which I summarized in the following scene rather than writing it out. If I get 20 votes for it, I'll publish it.

If you're for it, comment yes. If you're not, comment no. If you're on deviantArt, take the poll here or on Fanfiction here. And do let me know why you voted the way you did, if you have a second.

In addition to the episode I posted yesterday, I also wrote a character entry on Cong Jia, complete with concept pics.

Enjoy.

I finally got around to posting the story on Archive of Our Own. The reading interface is very clean and it has a great download feature for multiple formats. Read it on AO3.

What does everyone think now that we've caught up to Mass Effect 2? The last chapter ended on a bit of a downer, but as we all know, it isn't the end...

I'm going to be a day or two late this time. I have a family situation to take care of.

Thanks for understanding.

I know, I'm a day late posting... but this one was really hard to write. And I had the flu. And other excuses. But it's a good one, I promise. Worth the wait.

Chapter 21: Waking Up

Shepard gets a second chance at life. James and his squad fight off the Collectors on Fehl.

Read it on FFN, DA, or AO3

Now that the Fehl chapters are finished, I've decided to take a short break (two weeks) to recharge my creative batteries. I will still be writing, though.

During this break I'll write a new, original short story and will publish it on Kindle. This is an experiment to see what it's like publishing fiction independently and to see what interest there really is in my writing. It will be available for free for a few days with the KDP select program; I'm not fishing for your money here.

Enter your email on this webpage and you'll get an email when the story is available for free on Amazon. Thanks!

Not only did I totally plot out the new story, which is awesome, I also started Chapter 22 in an unexpected rush of inspiration. This break was exactly what I needed!

I'm not sure but I might post Chapter 22 as usual next weekend. If I don't need as long a break as I planned, I won't take it. Thanks to everyone for sticking in there with me!
