Well, if we're to believe what that dev said then the intention was there. Of course, that person no longer works for BioWare and may not have been heavily involved in that side of thing so it's possible that she misunderstood or something.
I guess we'll have to wait and see what BioWare say themselves, if they choose to clarify things.
They're standing on very thin ice right now.
My guess is that if they do offer a clarification it is going to be very vague.
...why does that seem more like a personal attack?
Anyways, I was just saying I could understand why a game designer wouldn't be fond of the idea. I wasn't saying it was right or wrong just why he might've felt that way about them.
I get the personal attachment but it's quite in human dna or sth to keep developing the story you have read or seen in your head so fanfics are bound to happen ^^;
50,000 words? What was it about?
I kind of shipped aged-up Sansa and on-his-way-to-redeeming-himself Jaime. Screwed up pairing, I know.

Hmmmm.. I don't know what to think about that.

You know, I didn't even know Fanfics existed until a year ago. I was all like "People actually do this? I want to do this! Because I am an amateur writing and would never actually get anything published." 
But hey, there is always hope now cos Fifty Shades of Shite did!
And because I feel like sharing, have a beautiful Skyhold and a bit of smooching in a distance ;]
Now I am off to make certain elf hot and bothered entertain my quizzy with meaningful conversations....
By the way, did I mention that I absolutely love bard songs in DAI. Listening to I am the one now 
If by some chance you have not downloaded them yet, here is the linky.
I can understand that though. You can get very attached to characters you are writing. They are your baby and writers get very protective of them especially if people start writing them OOC. Is is like "WTF, he would never do something like that! Whelp"
Martin hates fanfiction written for ASOIF. I didn't know that until I was 50,000 words unto mine and I will admit it has really put me off continuing it
Soooo... that humping gif, yeah? .
I think I read somewhere that the only reason GRRM doesn't like fanfiction is that he thinks it makes writers lazy, since they're not world-building for themselves or coming up with characters, but simply borrowing someone else's and having half the work done for them?
I can see his point, but I still think that fanfiction is a legitimate art-form that's been around since before humanity even knew how to write (no single person wrote all ancient myths, after all) and shouldn't be disguarded as just "bad writing".
(Besides, Stephenie Meyer's entire body of work reads like particularly bad fanfiction, so it's not like "real" authors can look down their nose at fanfic writers either)

Can't be as bad as Sansa and the Hound 
Does sound pretty interesting. I'd read it

Well... if you know how many really great fanfic there is based on Tolkien's Middle Earth & Rowling's Harry Potter. There are even many who are really really good & contain original characters & idea, only borrowing the world.
And Stephanie Meyer's works get a fanfic that results in 50 shades of Bull

Does sound pretty interesting. I'd read it
or Arya & the Hound. I kind like the idea of these 2.
so, BLOOOOM do you have the link pretty pleeeease?

Honestly, that is just disturbing, and, rather illegal.

You know, before the series I always imagine the Hound much younger. Like, he's around early to mid-twenty.

*shudders*
Anyway, yeah, there's some excellent fanfic out there. There's an amazing Cullen fic that I read years ago, even before DA2 came out I think, and that was the first time I thought, "huh, I guess I could like this guy." It's extraordinarily well-written and absolutely nails the major characters. The way the author writes Leliana is incredibly spot-on, at least for Origins Leliana.
Oooh, do you have a link? This I have to see!
Sure. It was the first thing I ever actually attempted to write and I am still going back and editing chapters. Lol, learnt my lesson on that one. I have loads of people willing to beta it for me so i don't know why I don't take them up on it. Actually, I need to go delete the last chapter, it was terrible. I'm going to go do that now.

Speaking of Tolkien, most of The Hobbit trilogy ended up being like an awesome fanfic because they expanded so much on the source material, especially given that Tauriel is an entirely OC for the film who they put in to romance Kili.

Bloom? Aww, that's sweet.

I'll get round to reading that a little later. Maybe tomorrow.
Speaking of fanfic, almost finished here.
Soon Cully-wully will reveal the origin of his manly scar.
(At least how this fan sees it 
)
I fell in love with a 28 years old guy back then when I was 12 but I see your point
Was this guy famous or in your household? No, don't answer that. I'd rather not know.

When I was about 5, I was in love with Clint Eastwood. He was in 'Rawhide' at the time, but was obviously still waaaaaaaay too old for me. I'm told I used to kiss the tv and announce 'I'm going to marry Rowdy.' Mercifully, I have blanked it from my memory!
