Lol I'm in a fantasy/science fiction writing class, so I should be able to still learn something from the reading! 

How did they not have classes like this when I was in college? I got stuck with "The Victorian Novel".

Writing classes are different from literature classes. I have creative writing classes this semester. Man, if they do let me write something, they're gonna be stuck with cheesy fanfiction from me. =)

 

It was a great chapter IMO. The book isn't written yet but the author put us in Varric's head for a bit while he was trying to formulate a plotline.

Spoiler

They're in the middle of the warden quest & I'm afraid of what might happen to Hawke. I can't deal with those feels, I just can't. Varric's reaction in the game made me cry & if this fic is going into the direction I think it is.......It would make sense for Hawke to sacrifice herself in this storyline

 

I don't know, but so far Varric's been doing all the 'heroism' in this fic. Getting Cass out of trouble with what she did in the first chapter, not being an ass about the Hawke dilemma, now with the last events of the latest chapter...

 

It may be Varric's fault she's dealing with those things, but still. I guess if it does lead to that, it's going to be Cassandra's turn to help him in her own way.

Yeah, I see your point. It does seem a bit unbalanced now, but I think I kind of expected it to be more Varric-centered from the title. It all depends how long it's going to be too. If there's 50 more chapters, a few with Varric at the beginning saving the day will be more than counterbalanced by whatever happens later. Who knows?

I don't think it's a bad fic, but maybe my expectations are too low? :shrug: You are speaking to a person whose only literature class in college prominently featured spontaneous human combustion as a plot device....(Bleak House, looking at you.)

Maybe you can write some V/C fic for us where Cassandra saves the day?

Also, a new V/C fic was just posted on AO3. It's a total "plot-what plot?" smutfest, rated M for a reason, but in case anyone wants to read:

Sometimes a one shot lemon doesn't need a plot line just hot sex lol. That fact that they both agreed not to speak of it or ever do it again is believable for both characters. I also need to stop reading smut on my phone in public.

I don't know if anyone is/was reading the "One Question Too Many" fic from the first page. I kind of skipped it initially because the grammar was a bit troublesome. In addition, some of the word choices any syntax were a bit odd. I figured it was being written by someone who was still very much struggling with writing, and/or someone for whom English was not their first language.

Fine, whatever. But I checked in on it today and read the last few chapters, just to see where it went.

It has reached "Plan Nine From Outer Space" levels.

We've got Cassandra begging Varric to tell him about dates he went on with Bianca for no apparent reason. We've got actual quotations from romance authors and their stories (which the author at least credits, but still...). We've got Cassandra deducing Bianca is a victim of domestic violence with no apparent evidence given for how she reached that conclusion. We've got flashbacks to Bianca being gang-raped.

There's more, but I think I mind-bleached most of it. I actually read more than I intended to, because I just couldn't look away.

I'm in class, and I can't read because the teacher is talking way too much! So I'm just going to have to push playing Dragon Age back, and read the fanfic! I want to be able to discuss things here, lol.

[morie91]

omg! i didn't know that thread like that can exist! O_O

 

i'm just very new on this ship... and i'll sink with it if needed!!

funny that i made a little comic about those cuties today ;u;

 

 

... i'll just sit here in the corner, sobbing silently, thinking of all the cute things and headcanons ;u;

This is the best thing ever.  All my Christmases have come at once! *flail*

 

(Also, Cassie looks damn fine in that tunic.)

Its hard to be a gentleman was the only fic on the OP that appealed to me so I kind of forgot about the other two since they didn't measure up to it. When it comes to bad grammar I can overlook alot of things but if it is glaringly obvious it ruins the story for me. Also Cassie in Varric's tunic.......mmmmmmmmmmm

[rda]

Morie, great artwork! I think you really nailed the characters! Cassandra especially can be hard to get right...but you did a great job!

[Cespar]

Alright! So I just finish reading the first chapter of "It's Hard Being a Gentleman." The first chapter made Cassandra look really weak and vulnerable, and I'm not going to buy the "she was drunk, so her character could go through a big change." When Varric first approached her, the Cassandra I'm use to greeted him with that cold demeanor, which was closer to her character than the following. Cassandra has been alone for a while, and it took that one night to make her crave it!? But overall, I actually like the story, so before I judge it, I'll need to continue on!

This fic was actually supposed to stand alone wiyth just the first chapter. I read it with just that before and i noped out of it and closed the tab.

But so far, its so gooood. Swear. Forget about the first chapter, the rest is great.

Now I imagine the two of them being late in some meeting, then they come later on with like... in each other's tunics... Cassandra in Varric's tunic and Varric in Cassandra's shirt... and everyone is all "guys if you're gonna hook up make it a little less obvious"

Please add your creative art thoughts of Varric/Cassandra here! Please!?

will do! i want to draw them more, but upcoming semester finals and huge secret project i'm working on, are effectively keeping me away from doodling my own stuff T.T (not that i don't like working on the latter, it will be grand for sure!) for now i'll just hang around here a little more, and try to get inspiration for nice stories. so i should ask you guys instead for writing down your headcanons ;u;

I understand the finals things, but this secret project maybe not so much, lol jk! Life keeps us away from our passionate hobbies! I'm currently still working on my Cadash/Lady Pentaghast pairing, but I can stick around for the Varric/Cassandra love stories.

I would have written/drawn something for the ship looooong ago, but i'm reduced to a pile of giggles once i actually try writing or drawing it. OuO Not to mention that Varric is hard to draw??? Like is it really hard or I'm just stupid?

What part made you close the tab? (I sound like one of those people in a book club.) 

Pretty much when it became almost smutty ;;; And how it all started. It was kind of OOC, even though she's drunk. I was like, "no that is NOT how you comfort someone" and it felt really odd, but I read through it anyway, against my better judgment. It went out a little better than what I expected, at least. OuO;;

maybe you could try writing this despite turning into pile of giggles? (:

 

he's kinda hard to draw at first due the difference in body shape comparing to other thedosian races. they're usually tall, slim, or similar in body build to humans, while male dwarves are kinda short and bulky, and you have to be careful not to overdo their proportions.

And we have fanart!

I would think Varric would be pretty easy to write. A healthy dose of wisecracking sarcasm and some cynicism, underlaid with a heart of gold, and you're good.

Cassandra, though, I think would be the hard one to write. She's a very...subtle character, if that is the right word to use. I think the tendency would be to accentuate one aspect of her personality and turn her into a caricature.
