lillitheris started the original version of this list, and I thought it was a great idea. It was a wonderful resource for ME fans to use to find new stories that might appeal to them, and now that lillitheris cannot update it any longer, I've been sad to see it go without updates. I have decided to create a new version of the list that I can try to keep updated so that lill's original concept does not go to waste, because the idea was fantastic.
Submission Rules:
Feel free to add your own story or ones you like. You can offer additions as replies to this thread or as PMs. However, because I have numerous things demanding my attention in life, I must be a bit of a stickler for formatting. I'm not trying to be difficult, but I do not have time to hunt down information on the stories people want added to the list. For this reason, I will only add stories to the list that are formatted as follows:
[ * ] [ url=http://www.fanfictio..._Effect_4_Unity ]“ME4: Unity”[ /url ] by lillitheris: FShep/Liara (M, sci-fi/adventure/romance, long, ongoing). Thought it was over if the Reapers fall? Peace and prosperity? Eevy & Liara, their friends, comrades, and the fate of everything. From the battle for Earth and its aftermath into the new challenges facing the galaxy. Gritty, sciency, often funny or teary, sometimes sexy.
An Additional Request:
Please do not use this thread to advertise updates to your story. It is better to set up a separate thread for your story to make such announcements.
The list will be formatted alphabetically by LI, or by main character in cases where romance is not a significant component of the story. At the end of the list will be the stories involving original characters, no defined main character or characters, crossovers, self-inserts, those in a language other than english, and the like. And so, without further ado, the list:
