The sick thing was, it WAS working fine for me. Until like thirty seconds ago. Now... bah.

I seriously think the staff at ff.net are a team of monkeys trying to write Hamlet and occasionally accidentally running a fanfic site.

That would...

...explain quite a bit, actually.

[LupusYondergirl]

I don't know if they're even attempting anything that ambitious.



Maybe Timon of Athens (which I swear was never actually finished. No way did he want to put that pile on stage as it is.)

Monkeys who switch the server button on/off for the lulz, no less.

Oh well, at least I could update now

Wake up, thread...



I need some good info on daily life in Orzammar and all things dwarven... Preferably delivered by ff



Recommendations welcome.

[LupusYondergirl]

Sarah1281 has a lot of fics set in Orzammar.

Ditto what Lupus said.  Once I get closer to getting my characters to Orzammar, I plan on hitting her stories up for some interesting insights into dwarven culture.

Urgh. My job involves a certain amount of staring at a computer screen for most of the day, and I'm getting sore eyes increasingly often which removes a lot of motivation to write after hours (since I do so on a computer).



I think...I think I need a holiday that involves no glowing screens... *shudder*

soignee's Dead Duster Walking for Dust Town.

Yes, Sarah1281 and Soignee's stories mostly. Regrettably, dwarves haven't been given much attention by the fandom.

Which reminds me... I need to go back to Magda's (my DNF) game...

That's why I took up walking. I have to take my MP3 player because my attention span isn't nearly long enough not to get bored in the 40 minutes it takes to walk around my neighborhood but it's very relaxing. I'm not sure what to do once it gets cold, though.

As for dwarf things not written by myself or soignee I'd have to go with The Stone Endures by Sparrowfall. It's about a DN so there's more about that than Dust Town but virtually every chapter (and there are a lot of short ones) has new insights into on Orzammar culture and it's a pretty unique take on the origin.

Thank you all for the dwarf fic recommendations, I shall definitely follow them up.



I understand that the toolset mentions that there's a GW HQ in Orzammar can any of you confirm? I did download the toolset but was unable to get it to work...

[LupusYondergirl]

It does, Rica mentions it.

And oh! All the entries in the Fine Dwarven Crafts competition!

Most of my stuff isn't very cultural, but I will pimp out Hallbera (links right at the top of that page), my attempt at epic dwarven poetry. Beowulf with darkspawn.

Yep. If you are a DC and refuse to go with Duncan immediately so you can speak to Rica and then express doubt about going, you get this line:
"You're not seriously thinking of refusing, are you? This is like... like being raised to nobility. Think about it: If you ever come back to Orzammar, you'll stay in the Diamond Quarter. There are separate rooms set aside for the Wardens. Everyone will respect you. Everyone who spat on us. You... you could recruit the king's own sons if you want."

Edit: I'm really glad this information about GW quarters in Orzammar is getting out. Since most DC wouldn't, I think, refuse to go with Duncan and then tell Rica that they don't want to leave and many people don't play DCs, I can understand how people don't know this. Just the same, I've read fic after fic where they have to find an inn somewhere. For dwarves, this is even more complicated as no one wants to let a brand or an exiled kinslayer stay with them and it's all so very unnecessary because they already have quarters set aside for them. The DC and non-dwarves have an excuse not to know but every DN fic where they don't remember these basic things that they should know is facepalm-inducing.

All of a sudden, I'm feeling rather smug.,,,

[Sarah1281]

For the non-Wardens it's always just a 'well, we've got to stay somewhere' thing but for DCs it's a reminder that to Orzammar they're trash and for DN's it's rubbing their face in how far they've fallen in the public eye but it's still so unnecessary!

Ta, Sarah.
