Quick question: is it pathetic if it takes eleven chapters for Zevran to show up?

Quick answer: that depends where is the focus of the story. If it's kmeme Zev smut, than it's kinda fail :D If it's romance with Zev as main LI that's kinda weird, but otherwise it might be just right thing to do... e.g. there are about 100pages of my thesis and still no Zevran *shrugs*


LOL. Zevran showed up in chapter 11 of DDW. I will hasten to add that while the romance is important, it's not the only plot of the story.

You spent a few chapters setting up Dust Town, right? I think your story started before the origin even did to set the scene better.


yeah. I wanted to show that she was capable of leading and being a commander, as well as bonin' Lina. Obviously. The latter is *cough* character development. GDI I've talked more about DDW today then I have writing about it. ffffffffffffff-

Sarah I willllll review later I gots to go eat cake. This is important.

Well, what if chapter eleven ends with the story being at over 95,000 words? Is that weird?

As long as the cake is not a lie. Ascertaining that is probably the most important thing you can do in this kind of situation.

I don't know, I haven't read it (sorry). Is it love story than or not?
If not why would it matter when does Zevran show up? If it's 'generic' DA adventure following canon story, according to my observation it takes about 10-50 chapters, so Zevran should show up somewhere around chapter 5-25. Depending on various things. And there doesn't need to be any Zevran at all...
If it's Zevran love story... then it's just weird and what was going on these 10 chapters? I would drop reading like after three it it was announced as romance.

No, not a romance. And she's only found out she's single this chapter, anyway.

This theme needs more androgyny. Let's have a game of "spot the woman". Oh, wait, there are no women. I don't care if this was back in high school, Malice Mizer's members are still wonderful to look at. Too bad Kozi was creepy. And is dead. Alas.

Oh, and thanks for the men! It made my day considerably less terrible (heart)

But i'm exhausted and i'm going to go pass out for a while. They don't match the theme, but since I found this on google while I looked up the other one, here's more pretty womanly asian men.

Ok, than it's adventure story of Aeducan princess in 100k words so far and Zevran in chapter 11... I see nothing pathetic or weird about that :) But ask maybe someone who is a writer :D

Also this

Kay! :D (Hey, I posted buff manly men last friday.)

It's cosplay, and it's asians cosplaying, so... of course it's going to be lolandrogony, though to be fair the canon has some pretty manly guys, but the apparent main char (the guy in the hat) sometimes looks girlier than girly. Ah well.

Makes it easier for skinny asian guys to dress up as them, I guess!

Not really my type, but pretty to look at!

Is it sad that I oggle the vinyl and purdy vest-suits more than the guys in them? Yes? Damn...

Thief types (my usual choice) look a bit underwhelming though.

Oh no, I have a thief and basically just sneak up behind monsters and knife them to death before they can react.  And stealth is invaluable because it lets you trek across country without having to stop every couple minutes and kill something. 

Morrowind is so much better, though.

This. I ended up spamming invisibility with my first mage, especially during the gates.

And thieving skills are good for the brootherhood quests.

Has anyone else read The Things They Carried?  You know that story about the chick who take souvenirs from her kills and makes them into a necklace?  Yeah....

[Alistair] Creepy. [/Alistair]

And demon-Connor seemed to have the same idea. Of course, he wanted to feed them to the dogs, I believe...

For some reason, The Song of Ice and Fire series came to my mind, probably because it's being discussed here.  One of Tyrion's wildings had a necklace of ears.  Gah, it's been too long since I read it; I don't remember the names of everyone!

I'm not sure I'm  upset but that's certainly very disturbing serial killer behavior. Posted Image
