It is a bit odd, considering there's no lack of male authors out in the world.

*shrugs*

But, yes, please pass a virtual Blue Moon my way. It's before noon and I'm stuck here at work, but what the hey!

[KSuri]

Maybe most guys just fanfic other stories? Or maybe they are just too busy playing the games to write stories about them?



I was just looking to see if there was some percentage shown for the number of males vs females who write fanfic but can't come up with anything more solid than "the majority" *shrug*

[mousestalker]

I think it's just that more women than men write fanfic in general.

[LupusYondergirl]

I do think fanfic is just dominated by women, not that women are simply the more vocal.

So... I just realized AOA is the longest Dragon Age story on ffnet.  As of my last chapter it just passed The Night is Full of Stars.
I mentioned on the Anders thread, but I'm a bit  :blink: about that. 

And I'll totally **** myself here since I got new art and have to show it off. Because it is awesome and I am giddy!  :wub:

The awesome-beyond-words Gala did this one of Maggie and Anders from AOA:


And I just got this one of Maggie from chapter 22 of Blue Skies last night that another of my readers did:

And if you keep in mind that it's a series, it's even longer. Congrats.

I'm impressed that you've managed to keep going for this long without losing interest in your story. I know that's something I have to deal with around the time any of my stories hit the 100K mark.

Those are awesome, Lupus!  Congrats on gettting fanart!

[KSuri]

@Lupus: That's pretty awesome, getting fan art on your fan art. Congrats!

So fanfiction.net currently hates me and I can't get to any part of that site.

[mousestalker]

I'm in the same boat. Hopefully a PM I sent went out, but everything else seems pretty well borked.

I know it's probably just confirmation bias, but it seems like this happens whenever I want to update.

[Raonar]

It's been OFF for me all day too.... well, more or less.



I happen to want to review Sarah's fic and it WON"T LET ME.....



Sorry Sarah... I feel like i owe you a review or two and it won't let me. Fate is a real shrew at times.

[LupusYondergirl]

*crosses fingers* fine for me so far.

But that would explain the chapter I posted has a lower-than-usual number of reviews.

Figures. Same thing happened last time I updated Blue Skies. Forces are aligning against me to prevent Maggie from hitting 900 reviews. (which shouldn't matter, I know, but I'm like six shy between all three stories! And I adore a useless milestone.)


Also, unrelated, but I found this out as I was typing and need to shriek... My mom just texted me to tell my my kid sister (who is like 28 so not a kid but whatever, she'll always be a kid to me) is having a boy. I'm going to have a nephew!
Can you tell this is the first time I'm going to be an aunt. I'm already mentally toy shopping.

"Hey sis, remember the time I was staying with you for the weekend when you were 16 to make sure you didn't have a party and you threw a party when I went to the grocery store? Just making sure. Hey, beloved nephew, here's a stuffed Chewbaacca, It makes realistic Wookie noises when you squeeze it. Here's a few hundred batteries, too. Well, I better get to the airport for my flight home!"

@Lupus, That's great news! Some people swear by toy drum sets, but if the parents are clever you can hide the sticks and tell the child that it's a set of stools. My sister claims that bugles make the best prezzies. No batteries and no moving parts.

[Maria13]

Nephews are great... They tend to like video games and Dr Who and the young James Bond, all sorts of really interesting stuff you can talk to them about...

I think ff.net might be working again? Don't hurt me if ti isn't! But I had a problem for an hour or so and it's gone now.

I had a problem for maybe fifteen minutes and now it's gone for me, too, so I think the servers are having problems (when aren't they?) but for individual connections it comes and goes.

[Raonar]

Indeed, works for me now too, though it's more or less midnight here so it doesn't really make a difference for me. Ah well.



In other news, how hilarious would you lords/ladies think it would be if, upon recruiting Shale, she says "Go on, give me an order" and you say "Do whatever you want"? I ca totally see her getting confused about whether or not she has free will 'naturally' or because you ordered her to have one.

That would be great.

Shale: Does this mean I have free will?
Warden: I guess.
Shale: Is the control rod broken? Or did you somehow give me my own will?
Warden: Want me to take it back?
Shale: NO!

[Raonar]

I actually did this in my fanfic and Shale was incredibly pissed because now she doesn't know if she's indebted to the dwarf noble or not. )

Yep. Same here. No site works for me. <_<

Of course that happens just right before I finally can update, now where I have the beatd chapter after six long weeks of beta chaos. Well, thanks ff.net  >__>

[KSuri]

Glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing problems with ff.net. I was working fine earlier and now....chaos. Just going to try to wait it out until I can edit the story I uploaded and know that it will stick.

[jenncgf]

It started up for me again too. I wonder if they're working on the servers or something? who knows.

[LupusYondergirl]

It really does feel like the site breaks as soon as I update lately...

[Miri1984]

You're breaking it!!! Everyone lynch Lupus!
