Hi Herr, waves.

*waves back*

I write no fanfiction so don't expect me to become anything more than the lurker I am.

[Danijou]

Ahahahaha Tanith called me a contributor.

Silly lady.

Hi Herr! *waves* I loved geology in school. Might I pick your brains sometime for my story when I get to Orzammar? I love that you watch us from behind trees. 

And for someone who doesn't read fanfic because You don't want to sift, if I may make some suggestions should you be so inclined... Tanith's works, soignee, ShadowofLightDragon, odiedragon, Maria13, Tasmen, Danijou, Tellervo, westiex9, Slim Warden, LadyDamodred, Miri1984, MireliA. Just to get you started. If you are not reading them, you are really missing out, just sayin'.

Although I agree that most fan fiction sucks, its nothing to upset me, I just don't read it. However, I think its cool that people are writing things they are passionate about and maybe 1 in a 10000 will write something amazing. I'll wait for that 1 in a 10000. My cousin grew up reading Forgotten Realms stuff and wrote fan fiction growing up and now he has a few Forgotten realms novels in the bookstores. All power to you writers.

If you don't read any of it...how are you going to find that 1 in 10000? Wait until Bioware/EA releases the rights to have it published?

Yes to your last question! haha I thought it was implied.

*grin* Yeah, I know, it was. Unfortunately I don't think EA/Bioware is going to go the way of Forgotten Realms or Lucus Arts (meaning, no matter how good it is, it'll never be official fiction. But hell, not everything out there that's been published is worth reading. ).

the amazing stories should be amazing enough to be published for me to read (on official websites even).  Im not saying there aren't some amazing stories out there, Im just lazy and unwilling enough to go through all the bad writing to find it.

It is fair enough not wanting to wade through a heap writing to find the 'good stuff'. There's a lot out there. Fortunately you have a large group of reader/writers here who can recommend you some of their faves...if you are at least interested in putting a couple of toes in the ocean. That way you don't have to hunt, and you should be able to decide after the first 100 words if what's been recommended is your kind of story.

[Gilgamesh1138]

Yep, what Shadow said. Posted my favorite authors, or some of them. Like I said, if you aren't reading them, you are missing out.

[Miri1984]

I love it when people write one-shots. It means I can get a taste of them without wading through 40000 words first. Most of the fanfic writers I read I've come to through reading their one-shots .

[HTTP 404]

Im not putting down fan fic, Im actually putting myself down by saying I was lazy to read some of it. haha. Shadow, you are right, sometimes it takes a minute reading into a story to know if its worth continuing it, also forums like this may steer me to good stories.

This is absolutely true. I don't have a ton of time to read, so  shorter stories have helped me find writers who I would have been compelled to skip over if they only had epics posted. 

[Gilgamesh1138]

Oh and I forgot SurelyForth too! SORRY Surely! *hangs head in shame*



I wasn't saying that you are putting fanfic down, I was just helping to steer you. Again, if you are so inclined. You could even try mine, but I gave you my fav authors. : D

Dear, dear, trust SOME to lower the tone so early in the day...

[Miri1984]

Hey it's past five here and I've had a glass of wine, so... blame it on time zones .

[Maria13]

UK 9:02 here. Bank holiday weekend. Not drinking... Yet

[Miri1984]

Hehe. I say 11am on holidays is acceptable. Of course on Christmas morning, champagne is obligatory at breakfast. Only day I drink before 11.



Otherwise, 5pm is beer o'clock in my house. Or wine o'clock these days - haven't drunk much beer since university.

[Maria13]

You, know, I started drifting back to beer in my 40s, something to do with maturity? I've also developed a taste for rose lemonade, although it's a bit acidic...

[Miri1984]

Mm. Maybe it is a maturity thing. I had a beer the other day and it tasted much better than I remembered. But then, at university I could only afford cheap beer, so maybe it's just about the quality .

I say, when in doubt go with Buffy:

XANDER: Why blood? Why Dawn's blood? I mean, why couldn't it be like a, a lymph ritual?

SPIKE: 'Cause it's always got to be blood.

XANDER: We're not actually discussing dinner right now.

SPIKE: Blood is life, lackbrain. Why do you think we eat it? It's what keeps you going. Makes you warm. Makes you hard. Makes you other than dead. (quietly) Course it's her blood.

The question is not about potency, but about what you would actually do with it if you had a mage's phylactery.  I'm having trouble even coming up with generalizations, wracking my brainmeats something fierce.

I don't think Spike's answer is restricted to potency, though of course for many men, potency is life, power and everything flowing from that.  The first thing Spike says is that blood is LIFE (bible).  So you have someone's blood you have absolute power over them.  If I were a templar with a mage's phylactary, I wouldn't only use it to trace them, I would try to use it to weaken and enchant them.  Perhaps a special dispensation from the Chantry can be obtained to do just that for especially dangerous fugitive mages?

HA! Thank you so much for discussing this.

So the phylactery is ... a bit of blood magic? (Did anyone say this already, I didn't read any further, I had to get my thoughts out now.) Oh, sweet hypocrisy.

I was looking for something like this for my story. There was a little plot hole explaining as to ... how ... and why ... things work. And now I have a wonderful idea. Oh, I do.

You are so inspiring.

Damn, the idea is growing into a monster. Now the Chantry could be involved in ... evil things ... and stuff.

Well, I was just speculating...  You know how things work with certain organisations:  Its alright if we do it, but if YOU do it, it's very, very wrong... 

[soignee]

I have all day to write oh god please be done chapter today PLEASE

[Gilgamesh1138]

soignee, I hear ya. I too have a day to write... and I want your chapter done too, so I can has me some Missa! *GLOMPS soignee*

[soignee]

13000ish words on this chapter. Should I sit on it for the night and check it in the morning to see if it's too much, or split it into 2 chapters?

[Shadow of Light Dragon]

If you can get away with splitting it into 2, I would. But if it just reads better as a single chapter...leave it.



*is horribly procrastinating on her next chapter >.<*

[soignee]

it's just the first half is so... plodding. it ends with some lulz BUT the second half has all the drama, action and such.

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff-
