Sia if you're still lurking, just finished reading your latest update to the Rescue.
You do love to torture your characters.  
Interesting way to end the chapter

I actually just started reading it last night, still working my way through and it I really love it.
But the thing you point out, Shenzi... why do authors put their main character or their favorite 'NPC' character through things like battles, wounds and torture? I do that myself, my favorite characters tend to suffer the most.
Is it because the agony they endured makes the rescue so much sweeter?

Somtimes I wonder if it is just my sadistic side that demands tribute.

I think writers want to add adventure and drama to their writing, and that's very welcome, as long as they're not writing the characters completely out of character or grossly creepy...certain fanfics I've come across come to mind...  I would never want to read a fic that makes Kaidan into some massive, evil jerk, for instance, or has Shepard killing her love interest...but adding action to a story is appreciated, I would like to make my next story more action oriented and not just romance.  Not that I mind romance oriented stories at all, but I think it would be good for me to branch out.

Hehe, yeah and I totally agree - it's just that there are other possibilities for action and drama than having  your main character or his/her love interest suffer physically. I've read a few fictions that went quite far down that path and some of them were really good and got under my skin. As macabre as it may sound, I like it... I am just trying to analyze why I like it. But -  I suppose that self-analysis does not belong here so I'll just retreat and write more suffering...

Kaidan brightens up our days...well that or pulls us down into the gutter, which is not exactly a bad thing either

Good morning ladies. I just thought I'd pop in to say hi before starting my day.

Hey!  I didn't get a chance to say so yesterday, but I loved the story you posted in here, so my vote is definitely yes!

@Star g'morning, have a lovely day



@Cypher No! We hate Shenko. What does Kaidan see in Shepard anyway?...j/k ofcourse we like moar Shenko, write away as long as you're having fun with it



And I'm out for the eve, it's couch potatoe time with a few movies

[Cypher0020]

Ok do any kaidan fans have a request? A drabble or a oneshot or a multichapter?

[RyrineaNara]

See the thing is I am writing something that is somewhat a darker version of the story where Kaidan is taken by the Reapers as bait to lure Shepard in to a trap. Thought when she get to him she does have to fight him because he is not himself. However mostly it not going to be what the person thinks.

I've had this song stuck in my head all day and I realized it was a result of reading Shenko so I figured it should probably make it's way to a Shenko playlist ... The Promise by Tracy Chapman ...

@Nara



Wooow... that's both original and really freakin' depressing!

[legbamel]

I've got the end of The Commander Takes a Shower uploaded but I'm still working on the interlude between Part 1 and Part 2.  That'll take some time, as it's very gutterly and I don't often get enough privacy to really concentrate on writing it.    I need to do some clean-up of the formatting for part two before I publish it, though.  There's just never enough computer time in the day!  I have to visit from time to time to get some Kaidan inspiration, though.

Squeeeka!

Thanks Jilly and Jo! Thanks a lot! Really helped me out a great deal.

I'll fix the mistakes and then finally I get Chapter 5 out! Yay!



And yes, getting those typos presented in correction-red, lol, always a joy. But it helps greatly.

I wish I could hug you!

[Cypher0020]

@Rose



hmmmm ok. I may do some drabbles as a warm up!



Anyone got requests? I take requests.... I'll write fanfic for digital food.....

yay!  Glad I could help.  Cause, you know, then I get to read things early.  I'm so impatient.  

(And is it weird that I love the red pen?  Even when someone's using it on my stuff?  )

And hugs all around!
