So, is anyone else experiencing nothing but heartache at the hands of ff.net today? My stats are being goofy, I'm missing at least one review that I know of and I've had variable success even accessing my most recent update, from a direct link and the story listing. It's making me feel very grrrrr.

I've been those having problems since Friday. Or rather, the DA section of the site seems to think it's still the 15th and so getting things posted since then to show up is a pain.


What Sarah said.  I've noticed the problems since the stats went down last week.   Annoying stuff, really.

Annoying and update-motivation-killing. Posted Image

It has been giving me the fidgets too! And yes it is update-motivation killing.

Has ff.net always been this buggy or just the last couple of months? I didn't really notice anything before then.

Ok guys I can't focus on anything. Should I write more "Restoration" or try starting this as-yet-unnamed-dwarf thing. Tell me what to do. I'll listen.

No clue. Muse has been a slave-driver all weekend and I'm fried.

I vote for the dwarf project as dwarves make everything 1000X more awesome. Posted Image

I too say dwarf project Saga. But ask Missa, I loves me some dwarves.



Saga, I feel your pain. I wish my muse had been riding me,but I have been having the opposite. My muse seems to have taken a vacay to some tropic isle for the moment.

I love reading about dwarves too (and writing about them, obviously) so it's a shame I have to be so freaking PICKY about the sparse selection available.

Well my concept is for Pilar Brosca, bizarrely innocent and cheerful and just DOES NOT GET IT when people are hitting on her and wicked good with a dagger. I'll probably be writing this more as random vignettes that catch my fancy than a full-blown gamefic, as that's what Maebh was and I don't want to do that again. Right now I'm kicking around an idea of writing the proving because damn if that wasn't a great scene.



Also she's totally going to be starry-eyed over Duncan because he's the first person outside of Rica and Leske to treat her with the slightest bit of kindness.

Plus he makes a beard and earring look amazing, don't forget the superficiality.

Is Pilar going to get equally starry-eyed because Alistair is also nice to her and promptly romance him?

Our recent discussion in the distasteful decisions thread has me thinking about doing a short piece from Colgrim's point of view.

If you do make sure to spell it Kolgrim. I mean, I really don't care for forum debates but it would probably annoy your readers if you get your main character's name wrong.

Heh. Funny. I've had a dwarf fic kicking around in my head too. And I *have* thought of a name for it. ;)

No, she's not going to understand him at all. She's going to think the rose is some kind of food and then think that he wants to marry her right then and there and get scared and run away. Just clueless. And sweet.

I saw that take in a DA comic once but never in an actual story.

OK here's the deal. I have to update this Restoration at least once before I write anything for this. BUT! I'm almost done with this chapter so I'm feeling optimistic and will say that The Amazing Adventures of Pilar, Dwarf (working title) will start sometime next weekend.

For anyone who's writing fics with darkspawn, David Gaider posted a slew of answers to questions in this thread recently that you might find useful/interesting, including (but not limited to) an allusion that female Grey Wardens couldn't become broodmothers due to their infertility.

(Hooray, we can only become 'regular' ghouls ;))

Informative indeed.  Is it bad that I'm most pleased nothing in there screws with far distant plans for my fanfics?

Bugger. The fact that wardens don't become broodmothers has kind of made one bit of Consequences void. Ah well.

Well, strictly speaking, he just says it's good that they're infertile.  I wouldn't expect the darkspawn to do a full roster of fertility tests before creating a broodmother.  They just might be dimly confused when no lil baby darkspawn show up.  So if all you need is the body horror of being transformed, you could still be good to go.
