Ok so we have a lot of fanfiction and fanart out there, but I couldn't find a spoof thread( EDIT : Apart from the excellent Ferelden TV, sorry guysImage IPB, i shall flogg myself for thisImage IPB.)
So if you ever wanted to poke fun at any aspect of  the DAO universe, this one is for you. Every text, songs, doodles, comics will be welcome as long as it has DAO for theme and is silly.

I will start this with a short thing that come to me after realising how many Alistair romance was available on fanfiction or fanart and how much the life of a video game hero would sucks rocks if it was real.
EDIT : The scene takes place once you switched off your PC/ Consoles.
It's rather short but I hope it will get a few giggle, thanks for any  comments
(Personal note : Taiyama, DalishRanger, this is dedicated to you as the idea came to me after some of our post on your threads)


A king's problems


Helena Cousland was a happy woman, after months of gruelling fights against everything that walked, slithered or flied on, above and under Thedas; she managed to get her well deserved happy ending.
 
She had put an end to the Blight, killed an archdemon, restored peace in Ferelden, and on the way, settled a large number of issues for other people. To the point where she sometimes wondered how they managed at all when no wandering Grey Warden was available.
Her parent’s death had been avenged when she sliced Howe’s throat and, finally, her beloved brother, Fergus, was alive, the Couslands will continue ruling Highever.
 
But the best part was that she successfully put her lover on Cailan’s Throne and managed to have the Landsmeet accept her as his Consort.
 
“Yep! Life is sweet” she thought while getting out of the formal dress she’d been wearing at the coronation and putting on her more comfortable travel outfit.
“Now let’s go find my kingly husband.”
Well you might find him if you just turn around slightly.”
 
Alistair was standing in the doorway, leaning nonchalantly against the frame.
“You’ve already finished with the council?”
“Well, we’ve...I’ve decided the great lines, now I it’s up to them to carry-on with the small details.”After a short pause he added, “As Leliana once said, that’s what counsellors are for, besides it give them something to do, instead of complotting behind my back.”
Helena joined Alistair in the doorway and planted a kiss on his lips.
My, you are getting into the king business rather quickly. So, what does the king want from his Consort? Any lamppost to lick around here?”
“No, this palace is rather poor on the lamppost department. I’ve come to see if you were ready, we haven’t visited the royal apartments yet.”
“Hmmm, this sounds good, let’s go.”
 
After a long walk through an infinity of corridors, they arrived in front of a heavy wooden door.
“Here we are my Lady. Let me unlock this.”
They stepped inside the antechamber of the royal apartments. Helena took in the huge size of the room. She saw on her left a balcony, bathed in the setting sun red light. She went and leaned on the stone.
“It’s a wonderful view Alistair.”
 
As she looked at Denerim, Helena did not notice Alistair leaving the room as quietly as possible and did not hear the sound of a key locking a door. 
 
              ******************************************************************************************

Alistair quickly came back to the main part of the royal palace. He found Zevran waiting for him by the throne room entrance.
“So, another queen for your harem my prince?”
“You know Zevran, I feel rather bad about all that locking them up business.”
The Antivan looked at Alistair and grinned innocently “I’m sure that if you walk into that room and calmly explain the situation to them all, they would take it with gentle good humour and you would all get along like a house on fire.”
“Really! You think so?”
“No doubt about it... just like a real house on fire, people screaming, shouting...dying, and you, my friend, would probably be doing most of the dying part.”
“Even I would not dare go in there. As much as I enjoy a bit of pain in lovemaking, being mauled to death by thousands of angry women...sorry, angry Grey Warden killing machine, does not appeal to me.”His grin widened, “Especially when so many of them tend to behave like young teenagers when it comes to the romance thing... so much pathos, so much drama, you wouldn’t expect that from hardened Grey Warden veterans.”
 
Alistair nodded to Zevran; he had to admit he was right. After all it was the way their universe was going, he hadn’t made the rules. And explanation could get tricky, after all most of his “ladies” were half crazed human noble who had seen their family died, attention seeking dwarfish princesses with excessively bad family background, or city elves with affection disorder due to attempted rape and police brutality. As for the mages ones he’d rather not think of it at all, they were a little bit on the fireball side of diplomacy.
 
“Still, I must say that myself, Leliana and Morrigan are a little bit jealous of your success, you do get most of the attention.”Alistair sighed and looked at the Antivan “Well I could do with a bit less, I’ve picked so many roses my clothes are full of small holes and I’ve got plasters all over my hands, I have enough runic stones, dragon statues and other mystic items to open a small museum... and I am sick of that lamppost line!”
 
“I would gladly let Teagan have some of my romances; the poor fellow has to go for a brisk run, a cold shower and a lie down every time the story is replayed because of all the flirting.” Zevran let a moment pass and tried to cheer up his friend “ On the other hand, my polygamous friend, you got to spend a lot of nights with Morrigan, experience the thrill of a new romance more often than any of us, and the lovemaking must be very good after all these partners. ”
 
The assassin noticed a small blush on Alistair face. “Well, yes that’s nice, but ...erm.... you see..., it’s not only the thrill of romance that is new all the time.” Alistair rubbed his hands together, focusing his stare on what must have been a very interesting wall.
 Understanding downed quickly on Zevran, “You mean the virgin thing! Every time is actually your first time!?”
“ ‘es” the answer had been spoken in the faintest murmur.
“Oh.......tough!”







Author's note : Well that's all folks, I wanted to put an extra paragraph at the end with the Cousland reaction after realising she has been locked with thousands of others. But I thought it was more fun to end with Zevran reaction on the terrible truthImage IPB.





So What do we have so far ?

Pffthahahahaha. I hope the doors and walls have some kind of anti-magical barrier because those trapped mages are going to be P***ED.

Oh Zevran would have a lot of trap girls ( and Men actuallyImage IPB) but I wanted to focus on Alistair he is the most present in fanfiction. The pairing Alistair/ fem Cousland being the most popular.
There is probably somewhere in the multiverse a room full all the romancable character love interest.
I just wanted to make fun on the theme of what happened to fictional character when you switch off your PC/ Consoles.

I know, I was attempting to make a joke. I, too, get tired of the Cousland/Alistair fantasies. Good thing I'm sticking to my Surana... ;)

@NvVanity: thank you, hope the night is good.

Here's another one, it comes from my love of drunken talks and  making fun of scenaristic tricks. There is a little private joke at the end for people of this forum who follow this thread and this thread . Hope you will like it as well





Angry, angry NPC's


Barney, the barman of the Gnawed Noble, was happy with the start of the evening; the tavern was nearly full, as always when the story was retold. People generally found a nice pint, or twenty, very helpful when your life was mostly a succession of Blight and civil war.
Especially when it was the same Blight and the same civil war over and over again.
He had his usual worries about the small group in the private room, they weren’t particularly noisy or drunk but they were always in a sombre mood.
“Talkin’ of the devil” he thought, as the door of the room open and the dwarf made his way to his counter with that extremely focus gait that only the very drunk who wants to appear sober could manage.
“ ‘nother round for my mates and I my good man.”After tossing a few silver on the counter the dwarf made his way back to his friends.
Barney poured quickly 12pints, two for each of the guests, and called a waitress, “ Kailaaaaa! Service for the shortarse and his friends!”
 
***************
 
Kaila entered the room and left the drinks on the table, collecting the empty mugs on the way.
 
The elf was standing in front of the little group, “ ‘s not right I tell you, we ought to get a better treatment. These writers should know better.” He stopped a moment to gulped down the last of the pint he had in hand, “I mean, it’s alright for your average NPC’s, but us we’re awesome! We have dedicated fans out there.”
 
“Damn right Tamlen!” Ser Gilmore hammered is mug on the table, “We can’t let them treat us like that anymore. Look at poor Iona and Dairren here, two handsome, clever young people, what do they get for visiting Highever? They get screwed! Twice eventually!”
 
Iona and Dairren smiled and nodded, there were already far into drunkenness and probably out of the other side. “It’s all to do with narrative... wossname...?” started Iona, “Narrative rules, y’see. Young love interest getting killed in ‘sneaky attack, v’ry dramatic, real hero’s character building stuff, thingy.” With that she slumped back onto the table.
 
“Oh please!” said Tamlen, “What kind of a writer still uses this kind of rope? I mean look at me, “oooooh, the strange ruins nobody ever noticed, even so our clan has been coming here for ages, let’s have a good look without telling anyone. Oh look a strange mirror in a spooky room with a flea-eaten monstrous bear. I wonder what will happen if someone happened to touch it?”, what am I supposed to be a total moron!”
 
“You and me brother!” shouted Ser Gilmore, “I am a good knight, the Grey Warden are interested in me, I’ve got everything to make a great companion, even maybe a romance possibility. Bang! Howe attack the castle, I defend valiantly, and instead of blocking that goddamn door with every pieces of furniture in the room and run for it with the Teyrna and her last child, I get to do a stupidly heroic last stand! Tell me about building a story! And they keep that idiot of a dog alive! Is this some kind of script convention, no matter how much people die, if there’s a dog he has to survive?!”
 
There was five minutes of “here, here”, “I hear that”, “zegactly” and then Gorim stood up.
As for me, I don’t have to go through the all dying thing, but sometimes I wish. I am a well respected dwarf warrior; I serve the best of king Endrin’s child, even got to romance a bit if it’s a girl.
Ok, my prince gets framed, and we are both exiled. Fair enough the story has to start at some point.
But who decided that the only part I will have to play would be as a merchant in bloody Denerim! Man, it was sort of going well, thought I would be a party member. Instead here I am selling “real dwarfish craft”, in a small stand in the Market district, not even a proper shop. And don’t get me started about the yellow outfit!”
 
The sixth guest patted Gorim on the back, making him sat down. He managed to rise from his chair, swaying a bit, brushed the ale that was dripping in his beard and addressed his friends. “Lady and gentlemen, that’s why I gathered you here tonight. I propose we form a league of unfairly treated awesome character and start to take action. We will not rest until the writers change the story.” He raised his fist in anger, forgetting that said fist was gripping firmly his eleventh pint. The ale fall down on Dairren head, who was asleep, without triggering any other reaction than Iona giggles.
“Never again will good, awesome, kickass characters, get treated so shabbily by writers and narrative imperatives. We shall not flag or fail, we shall never surrender!”
 
They all stood up at the cries of “huzza for old Duncan!”, “Let’s show the bastards!” and “Let’s get another round, I’m thirsty.”
 
***************
 
Barney sighed; he knew it would come to this. The night was about to become very long. He hoped he would not have to get sergeant Kylon involved like last time, for that business with the Orlais redhead and the two mages.
Why couldn’t people be satisfied with what they had, it was only a story after all.

Well the inspiration for this one is in the title.




The Hitchhiker’s guide to survival in Ferelden.

 Ferelden is a fairly dangerous place; the following tips should help you improve your chances of survival. Dreadful things still may befalls you if you follow this rules.
 
1.       Learn to fight or to use magic, dispensable people die quickly.
2.       Do not travel if you do not abide by rule 1, the roads really are not sure.
3.       Do not, under any circumstances, be within 30 miles of Sten if he lost his sword.
4.       Never steal cookies from Sten.
5.       If you meet someone wearing strange dresses and funny looking hats, do not make fun. Mages have no fashion sense but are good at fireball.  
6.       Massive armor that looks as if you would not be able to walk in and light armor that exposes around 40% of your most fragile body parts don’t look like a good choice, but they work.
7.       Big swords and axes that seems too heavy to lift may not look like a good choice of weapon, but they work.
8.       Unless you are of royal blood (human or other), a city or dalish elf, a mage or a dwarf commoner do not let Duncan recruit you into the Grey Warden, this will lead to certain and unpleasant death.
9.       Joining the Grey Warden is not a wise career move if you want to live to a ripe old age.
10.   Refuse any invitation from the Tyern of Highever.
11.   Isolated mountain temples are not a good choice for a trek.
12.   Neither is Brecilian Forest.
13.   If you visit Brecilian Forest, being into ecology might be a good idea.
14.   Talking trees are scary but safe. Moving trees are not.
15.   Going in the Deep Roads with a small party of 3 companions does not look like a good way of surviving, but it is.
16.   Do not under any circumstances play of any musical instruments that lay about in the mountains.
17.   If you haven’t train at the Circle tower do not boast of any magical abilities. Especially if Chantry people are around.
18.   Following Morrigan’s advices might get you into trouble with the rest of the population.
19.   Mad ermits are mot to be taken lightly, do not try to touch their stuff.
20.   Little old woman living in a hut in the wilds are not to be trusted, try avoiding them altogether.
21.   Try to avoid Antivan’s Crows, unless you are very good with weapon and very sexy.
22.   Do not ask for shelter in small, quaint, remote villages.
23.   Do not go on the wrong side of a mabari dog, it will get back at you in a vicious way.
24.   If King Cailan tells you everything is alright, prepare for the worst.
25.   Darkspawn will kill you no matter what if you do not abide by rule 1.

Why AA should never have a beer after a rough day with morons and bad weather...And getting her car stuck in the driveway for a second time.........


"Dude, you ah'ight down there," Jory nudged Davith with his toe. He had the easiest bit. Grasp throat, make a few blood-curdling moans, and then fall to the ground. Not like Jory! No, he had to give a convincing performance of horror and death by stabbing. Jory frowned and nudged Davith again. And he didn't even get paid more.

Davith rolled over with a grin, reaching into his pouch for a pinch of tobacco. He deftly inserted it between lip and gum and grinned at his compatriot, "Not bad, eh? Didya see how she turned all pale and looked like she was gonna hork a lung?"

Jory laughed, "I thought I'd almost won. I really thought she was gonna puke."

Duncan's laughter caused the two men to turn. The older man shook his head, eyes twinkling with wicked humor, "No, this one was tough. However, the one coming tomorrow, oh she'll be fun! I hear she actually thinks Alistair likes girls."
