anyway I read your excerpts and got the impression that you're diverging Morinth into a half-repentant jaded old loner and Ali'Sha as an unknowing gold-hearted rebel. Is that accurate or am I talking outta my ass again? XD

Also, your writing process is interesting, is at always non-linear? As in you have little pieces you put together into a final draft or is this just a result of your brainstorming?

I knew this story was going to fail...

I didn't even think about how I was writing either one of them, I just wanted to get the character's correct so that they seemed to act the way the reader would expect

I just brainstorm about what I'll write as a whole before starting from the first chapter and going from there.

Now excuse me while I brood in the corner.

You're actually writing the same way as two of my favorite authors: Neil Gaiman and Dan Simmons. Novels rarely spawn full lenght out of the writers's head. They are rather the product of a collection of ideas the writer came up with over the years and wrote down in the form of short-stories, letters or simply notes in a diary. You get this really cool or emotionally rich idea but you don't necessarily have a use for it yet... so you write it down and keep it for later. At some point, a story idea will come up that will use it, along with a bunch of others that will feel part of the organic final opus.

 I followed the advice of Kudara and started my fanfic . The first chapter is done and it is mildy short, being only a thousand words or so. Also I need to think of title and a way to work Samara into it.

What's your fanfic about DOYOURLABS?

[DOYOURLABS]

It takes place after the suicide mission and after the overlord DLC, the time when Shepard isn't saving the galaxy and is waiting for something to pop up. It's going to be about his life from that point on, and maybe some exposition about his past, but also a Shepard/Liara fic. Shepard is also an easily distracted, angst filled alcoholic. I'm trying to not let it become a sappy love story.

Please do not do too much angst, i remember that one film maybe ten or fifteen years ago about this guy drinking himself to death.  

I also remember about 30 min into it being willing to give him a pistol so he could hurry it up.

I don't think it's that bad but I'm going to re-read it to be sure. I just finished editing it and I'm going to put it on fanfiction.net, then my blog. I'll post a link if anyone wants to read it

You know it always blows my mind how many people write the characters as complete children.

We always see them being complete badasses.  It's nice to see who they are when they're not shooting folks.  Some people go overboard with the tenderness, though.

It is good to see characters such as shepard as a real person, but when the authors write about how he/she is in puppy love I don't like it. It just goes beyond the scope of what Shepard is like IMO. He has feelings, but he doesn't go cry in the corner writing love poetry. Anyway here is my fanfic http://social.biowar...1929/blog/6264/ . This is the first thing I ever wrote that wasn't assigned so I'm hoping I did okay. And I also hope that it doesn't make me a hypocrite for criticizing overly emotional characters

Copy & pasting things from one location in to the text fields on the Bioware forums butchers the formatting.  It's done that to your story.

I know . I tried to fix it. 
EDIT: I re-edited it and I think I fixed it.

You need to look at it on fanfic, you've got the one big paragraph error

*ahem*



Just a though, while writing Pariah, suddenly This Song seemed to fit a romance from Morinth's POV very well...



But that might just be me, I thought the lyrics were a bit ironic. *ahem*



kthxbai! *hides*



PS- I know I should probably go over to the Morinth thread with that but I'm scared of the people there...most of them seem to hate Samara with a passion O.o; You guys are nice and friendly :3

I could have sworn I just saw Samara's face-model on a commercial for Breyer's ice cream sandwiches.

Really? O.o

Look it up on youtube!

We all try to embody Samara's compassion Ashira

[Ashira Shepard]

Hmm, nah. Doesn't look like her to me.

I just found a nifty oil painting in my neighbors trash. What should I do with it?
