@RoyalRey: Dem cheekbones.
(That's a warm-up?! What the devil are you working up to, then? A fresco to outdo Solas?
)
So I have a bit of a confession to make.
My name is Caddius, and I'm a lapsed writer.
AA*: Hi, Caddius.
But when we were discussing whether we could still respect Solas if he gave up his thousand-year goal for a relationship, Rebby and Liz's comments got me thinking and churning.
So, about a week ago, I started digging through my old emergency Masterfile of all of my notes and rough drafts. There's a lot. It's mildly organized. Thanks, Rebby and Liz. Thanks a lot for inspiring me. 
It's a thousand pages of, "Oh my gosh, I'm a genius . I should high five my SO for getting me, hot dayum Caddius!
" to "...So apparently I was born out of a freaky three-way between Stephenie Meyer, Dan Brown, and Micheal Bay.
And then they stole what little talent I had and split it between them." A lot more of the latter sadly. 
But while I'm reassembling the whole constructed world I was deliberately trying to outdo DA on when it came to wonderful jigsaw background plots, (A seemingly easier task before Inquisition, I assure you. One of the reasons I'm so fascinated by Bioware is that they're telling similar stories to the ones I tell, and they're doing it with panache and cheese memes.) I've got to hone up the technical sides of my actual writing.
So I'm wading back into fanfiction.
I'm probably going to warm up with a stab at the 'Inquisition through the mismatched eyes of Coryflora', but that will probably flop. Should I tackle the political thriller type mentioned earlier, or is that Liz's baby?
I was even considering having a different take, with a human or Qunari mage to add in that power-grubbing knowledge factor instead of the Dalish run ragged but succeeding over the odds.
Basically anyone have any ideas they want to throw at me and see what sticks?
