Ugh. Major plot/life disconnect. Attempting to write a chapter that includes Alistair's wedding... hours after I dumped my SO. Yeah, I'm in the PERFECT mindset for this.

:( That's no fun. However, this is Alistair. I find it's generally acceptable to take a bit of frustration out on him. As long as it's not via the Landsmeet, he can usually be polished back up, good as new.

I'm
kind of on the other side of things...  I'm trying to go for somewhat
sweet and happy go lucky romantic, but my brain is screaming "freedom!
freedom! Forget commitment! let's go get TRASHED!"

LOL That could be a lot of fun, actually. Maybe you could write an alternative take to get it out of your system and then go for sweet and happy go lucky romantic.

I can just see the DA MMORPG now...King Alistair on his throne in Denerim and an entire harem of PCs loitering in the palace.


LOL - I hadn't considered that! Yes it would be hopeless, hundreds of PCs surrounding him, probably making a noise a little like that in Castle Anthrax.  Imagine the lag!



Laaaaaugh .... "We are fourscore blondes and brunettes, all between 16 and 19 and a half."

Then later, the public spankings, and you know what happens after that!

Oooh, that's an idea.  Also, sorry bout the breakup.  Those are never fun. 

But Surely has a great idea.  Write everything that could possibly go wrong (make it a humor fic?) and then you will have had some therapy!:innocent:

There's always cold feet and "Maker, we should have eloped instead!!"  Let them play out their fantasy a bit before the real thing happens.  :P

@Lupus I am so sorry, love. That is sucky and does not help with romance. Been there done that. *HUGS



@jenncgf, I was raised on Monty Python, thank you mum and dad!

Why am I not surprised you guys are all Monty Python freaks?



I can just see Alistair saying "Please... just a little bit of peril?"



@Lupus - I hope it was an empowering dumping. I got to do one once when the guy said "I hope we can still be friends." My reply? "I've got plenty of friends. Get the f*ck out of my house." :).

ROFL! Joining shaped beacon! Nice one Shadow!



@ Miri, love that line... I love and adore you for so many reasons. That just get's added to the list. And I wasn't nicknamed Zute (as in bad, wicked, naughty) for nothing at Uni.



Remember...always look on the bright side of life!

And of course the Free Marches could also send a delegation to King Alistair of Ferelden (notorious womaniser and Grey Warden) to request assistance in dealing with the Blight...


Laugh, notorious womanizer.  If we go by our fanfics he sure is!  And also, I never knew there were so MANY female Couslands. 

For a guy who got started "licking lampposts" late, he's sure made up for lost time with no worries.  :blink:


But surely you know that late starters and choirboys (or Templars) are the WORST:devil:

And youll click on him and he will say : Im sorry, Im in the middle of some calibration...or that was another game? ~~



In my version, he'll say: "You know...  I never thought I would get fed up of having sex but... LET'S KiLL SOME DARKSPAWN!!!" (actually my latest chapter is a bit like that...)

Corker: There was talk of a round-table for fanfic writers as one of the DA podcast episodes a month or so back. I haven't heard if anything's been confirmed, though.

I guess this means if it's definitely on this weekend, I'm not in it! Since I have a cold and would be sniffling in a most unpleasant fashion through most of it, this is probably good. Although I must say that my Australian accent sounds damn sexy while I'm all congested...

I don't understand how the hell you don't end up in it and I do.  What, like, three people read my stuff?  Whereas you're responsible for changing a lot of minds on Zev, with fic that has mass appeal.  I thought Tara would be all over that.

Maybe it was a scheduling conflict.  I'm going with that for now.

I'm assuming scheduling conflict, since I know for certain Tara didn't overlook me or anything :)

But honestly, I am (micro)phone shy, so I'm not going to feel too left out, hehe. Thanks though ;)

I'll look forward to hearing all the voices behind the text!

I think some emails sent to Tara got eaten by the internet dragons.  My response to the questionaire got eaten and I was not initially on the list.  I am now for tomorrow.

That is probably what happened.
