My trouble with time travel especially going so very far back in time is if she changes too much then she may just wink out of existence. When you set out to change things, guess what things change! Then what? Time travel is tricky. One wrong step and you make things worse.
Yeah, it can get pretty convoluted. The whole fic seemed pretty far fetched and OOC to me, and it was hard for me to take it seriously.
But then again, just my opinion. Tons of people love it anyways 
You are awesome! HAIL DIRTHAMEN!!!
I'm adding this to my Dirthamen shrine. I haven't been crazy enough for my lab to notice yet.
Cool! I also did a tarot-style card of one of Dirthamen's ravens pages back, don't know if you saw it:
Not sure if it's 'Fear' or 'Deceit'..
I know you were.
So you finished this one?
Oops, just noticed your comment. This is actually a different one than the one I was stuck on. I had actually written half of it, thought, "What the hell am I doing with this?", scrapped it, and started writing the other chapter instead. Then I couldn't quite get my version of Solas to stop moping. I was casually going through half-finished things when I saw this chapter again. In my sleep deprived feelsy state it made sense to change it slightly and bring it back.

Not sure if it's 'Fear' or 'Deceit'. It looks a bit deceit-y though..
I love your art!
I've been needing that for a while
Thank you!!
I always try to write for myself first and foremost, but it can be really hard to do, at times.
I just have to remember what I write is for me and nobody else, and whether or not my writing makes me happy is what is most important.
Life lessons from my fellow writers in the blanketfort
thanks again!!
See, you've got it! 
And no problem. What I find helps me is thinking of my writing like a journal entry. No one has to see it for awhile, if ever, and I can write whatever I want and how much of it I want. It takes a lot of the pressure off. Like write now (hehe), I'm writing a Solavallan fic, but I consciously try not to think about publishing it. Maybe someday, vaguely. But for now, I'm doing it at my own pace and expectations, and when I feel it's ready for other people to read, then I'll publish it. Until then, I'm keeping it for myself. This adds to my enjoyment of the process and actually helps me write even more. You could consider it.
Also, about the Dread Wolf's Heart: it did take me awhile to warm up to her version of Solas. But once I fully accepted that yes, it was another version of Solas, it was much easier to read and absorb the story. 
I admit that suspension of disbelief took a bit longer for that one, but also to great effect personally. I can see how it would be more difficult for others though haha

I figured that out while reading. But that comment was made before I started. I think you made a good call.
@Droso:
Aww yus! *fist pump* 
Thank you..

That's what I'm doing right now! I have barely any time to write, but I still try to make time. I also have trouble with extreme insomnia, so most of the time I'm only functioning on 2 hours of sleep, or none at all. This, in effect, really hampers my writing.
In conjunction with me having no time, always being exhausted, and also being very sensitive to other's opinions of my writing, not publishing until I feel comfortable and have a lot written already just seems the way to go.
It's nice finding another writer that's doing the same

This is so true. We all need this reminder. I'm enjoying Looking Glass, and it's of course on and off making me feel like pond scum. That said, my style and Feynite's are very different, so it is wrong for me to compare my work to it. It's like comparing apples to durians. I know Feynite's style is more appealing to most readers than mine is, but my style is mine. It's far from perfect, but there are things about it I love, that I'd never want to change for the sake of appealing to someone else.
If I don't want to read what I'm writing, why on Earth would anyone else want to read it? Moreover, why would I waste my time writing it to begin with?
Edit: Wow there are 191 people following this thread now?! When did that happen?
That's what I'm doing right now!

Whatever helps the most is the way to go. Sorry about your insomnia though, that's a definite pain. I hope you're getting help with it. 
IMO it's worth the effort to try and be more comfortable interacting with people. But if you're an introvert, you're an introvert, and there's nothing wrong with that
I'm a sociable introvert. I like people. I'm comfortable interacting with them, including relative strangers as long as we have something in common. And it took a couple years of practice to get there. But at the end of the day, I still feel drained from it. I lose energy from being with people and extroverts gain energy from being with people. Again, nothing better about one approach than the other. It just means that my very extroverted boyfriend learns when I need time to recharge my social batteries.
So. I've been thinking about this comment for awhile, and I think I'll share a little from my own experiences, if you don't mind.
I wish I could tell which one I am. A lot of the time I feel like my depression and social anxiety put a damper on my true personality, or at least what I act like around others. Sometimes I can actually feel such a split from the way I act, and the way I am, if that makes sense. Deep down I really enjoy being around lots of people and interacting a great deal with them, yet on the other hand I'm instinctively reclusive and have the aforementioned social anxiety that prevents me from really doing anything with others. Can't tell which I get my energy from more, since severe depression kind of zaps it all away regardless
Oh. I didn't want to get too personal, yet here I go anyway getting too personal. Sorry! 
Well, to sort of drift back on topic (off topic? 
) here's a screenshot of Solas I re-discovered after sifting through my tumblr likes earlier. Nevermind that the first two pages were nothing but Solas, because OFC.
Holy crap, she dropped another chapter while I was asleep?! I was just catching up and the posts started to confuse me...
*goes to read*
Has anyone read The Dread Wolf's Heart by the same author? I started reading it but the first chapter seemed awfully slow. Is it worth sticking with?
If Dread Wolf's Heart is slow, my Bookkeeper is stone still, than. I suck that way.

Edit: Is it too much of a stretch to have an Antivan Crow on House of Repose business? Hmmm... I think I got myself into a pickle.
If Blackwall keeps collecting beards like he is, he could turn it into a onesie
Somehow, it reminds me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
AHHH apparently I missed awesome RGP discussions while I was asleep 
I don't know the type of nerds who play tabletop games either. Or any RPG for that matter.
We could have a Solas thread table top RPG in a chat room or something? Or is this not feasible/not sounding like fun?
I am so in, if you guys still have space! Love board games, haven't really played RPGs that much, but would be so up for it. BTW what RPG is everyone thinking of playing? I think there is official Dragon Age one.
Can't believe another chapter of Looking Glass is out! Wow, that's fast writing!
Edit! Top Solas!

Speaking of Charlie and the chocolate factory lol I was thinking stupid stuff as per usual lol and it got me thinking what kind of chocolate would Solas eat In our world? Haha
I think he would eat Cadbury flakes or Cadbury caramello koalas.
I'd suggest a true, dark and bitter chocolate, with pieces of savoury orange.
