I don't get what you don't get either.

 

I don't know what's so complicated. When people talk about official story, they all have the same elements to reference. Fan fiction doesn't apply to that.

 

I mean writing fan fiction doesn't mean they didn't enjoy the game (sometimes), I view it as taking the enjoyment to a whole new level

 

I've read one where it started off really well... but for the past 5 chapters or so... its gotten really odd.. like someone else is writing the thing...

 

Generally why I don't read fan fic, some can get to really.... odd place

They're building off the games. They're playing with elements of them. It's all rooted in love and enjoyment of the canon. It's playful and something they do for themselves. You're just making a lot of assumptions and projecting a lot of things onto people. I mean it's cool if you don't want to participate in that kind of fandom, but I don't get the dismissal/derision of it. 

 

It's not canon. There is no Varric/Cass romance. And it's not even much of a character study of the two. I posted Varric's quote earlier: "Just because two people dislike each other, doesn't mean they're about kiss." Nor is it much of a study on Cass' character, seeing how much effort and romance she'd like to see from a man. Why is she suddenly dropping her standards with Varric?

 

I'll tell you why: Because people would rather be self-indulgent rather than pay attention to any of that. And in the process, step on my toes. Or being like you, turning me into the bad guy for just playing things that were in the actual ****** game.

 

I know no one is going to listen though. I know I'm not composing any of this in a friendly manner.

Idk it's just difficult for me to get upset about some fictional pairing when many of the women here were heartbroken over Cass being straight. I'm sorry but it just feels like the wrong place for this. I don't mean any harm really but it still is a disappointment for some of us.

Well, I can understand that. There are men who where disappointed in Sera not being bisexual. Not because they simply wanted to bone an elf. Because they really like her character and developed a connection to her. Unfortunately it's a case of the first being a more vocal than the 2nd.

I could almost see her going for that... but I think that's got more to do with reading BC's fanfic before the game came out than actually running around with Sera and getting to know her...


Ah 'My Little Toy', a highly enjoyable fanfic indeed :-)

I wanted that, prerelease.

 

But here I am, still digging her... just as a friend. This is the role I was given. I don't need to create more than that on my own.

Fan fiction is a double edge sword. I have read some that I enjoyed and some that really made me question the writers mental health.


I've done a lot of the latter for kicks: an elcor and a hanar reenacting Deliverance, for instance.

"This one wants you to squeal."

"Piggishly: weeeee!!!"

Sorry for the unfriendliness btw.. 

 

 

This is what happens once I feel defensive. I have little support and multiple replies from different people. So I start getting antsy in my posts, knowing everyone thinks I'm being a dipshit. :)

It's cool, I'm completely indifferent to fan shipping...unless it's Makorra, even then only from those still trying to deny the obvious.

 I haven't turned you into a bad guy, only offered a different perspective and asked for more clarification from you because I don't understand. But I'm stopping now, because this isn't going anywhere.

I probably should watch it. I still don't know what any of you are talking about there. lol

I'd rather it did go somewhere. Productively, I mean. We got this far. ;)

 

I might just simplify this with.... I like how Cass' romance was written in game. It's probably one of the few things that made my Inquisitor personable and that I could really enjoy the character with. And like all romances in this game, they're drawn out a bit. Compared to older games. You don't get from A to B right away. And it's fun this way. It's an improvement, no matter who you go with.

 

Except with Varric, of course... instant win, for some reason. His fans can't resist saying how awesome he is. And how Cass is secretly in love... because they bicker.. Or something. That's what I meant by cheapening things.

Okay, y'all may think me strange since I know they're ardat-yakshi, but I think my favourite Asaris are Falere and Mila.
