Who needs biology when you can have comedy?

This is my attitude.  I respect that if people at fanfic.net don't like a story, they don't say anything at all, vs. saying mean stuff.  Or if mean, at least it is constructive.
No one should be discouraged from writing.  No one.

I'll drink to that!

I won't be here when this thread hits 700... I am tiiired. But let me repost cute turian baby (not mutant) before I go:



Gaahhhh, I really want to see turian females in ME3... I really hope BW will give us this. If we're going to Palaven and there are no turian women, I will raaage.

Shepard: "So, this is Palaven?"
Garrus: "Yes. Isn't it beautiful?"
Shepard: "Yeah. I'm missing something, though. Why are there only males on this planet?"
Garrus: "Because all the women just took a shuttle to do some unspecified mission before we landed."
Shepard: "O RLY, BW?!"

[Nevara]

That is adorable!

Silentstephi it sounds like you and I know some of the same people, re: gargoyles fandom, fanfic, etc...you weren't ever on the Station 8 boards, were you?

Pillows: I imagine Garrus sleeps permanently on his side. I can't sleep on my back, though for me it's got less to do with a headful of spikes and more to do with stomach discomfort, needing to sleep with my knee up on a pillow, etc. I have no idea how the cuddle scene from Shep's cabin would actually work in practice.

Mordin's Bottle Opener: Is Awesome, Enough Said

Fiction in general: The internet is big, everyone starts somewhere, and if you have haters, tell them to frig off and go read something else, being as the internet is free an' all.

I haunted there for a while around '06 as my OC Garg, Pearl.  It was when I was able to make one of the Gatherings.  But if you're refering to Christine's stuff, that would be the awesome fanfic'r I'd be referring too.   ^.^  She's a pretty awesome person too.  Her and CrzyDemona. XD

Why do I have this weird desire to make a turian pillow in my brain?  I don't get it...

Yes, the internets is big, wide and full of interesting things.  And reminds me of the ctrl alt del comic... XD

I've told a few people to frig off, particularly those who don't like my cooties in their Halo.  Funny, the haters seem disappointed when my major reaction is "so read something else, the internet has much variety to offer you."

I'm writing for my own pleasure first and secondly for that of those who want to read my stories.

Pretty much anything you do in life leaves you open to haters, so I don't really waste much of my time thinking about them.  I have better things to do.

Haters:  not to be mistaken for constructive criticism, which can be useful, and is about the story, not a personal attack on the person writing it.

...damn, I love what tvtropes says about the ME fandom on "All Fanfic Writers Are Girls"

(IRL, ended up meeting my husband through fanfic....at least ONE is not a girl...)

[Soltana]

Wahaha...The Garrus thread is like the best medicine I swear. I have the flu or something today and I feel so much better.

Actually, to top off the hilarity, PV would further have a coronary if he introduced his and Shepard's "baby": Grunt.

LOL. That would be awesome. Too bad BW doesn't consider Grunt as Shep's adopted son... Oh well, Grunt is still my baby in my fantasy haha. Garrus dating a human Spectre and adopting a baby krogan... Papa Vakarian will die instantly.

Jig danced! XD Lack of camera.



I also see I have many pages to catch up on, but it's 4.30ish here, so maybe in the am... (unless I stick around for 700).

I'm glad you all enjoyed.

As an aspiring writer myself with dreams of one day being a professional author, I personally prefer criticisms to compliments. It's more useful, telling me what could be executed better and what I did wrong, than just saying "Hey, I like it!".



Of course, non-specific criticisms like "LOL U SUK" or other things that don't give me any new insight from a fresh perspective aren't useful, but... I generally believe that good criticism is the best thing you can give to a writer.

Yea I realize the hanar are evilspace jellies, but even if they're all single sex, we don't know.  No codec entry to tell us if they have gender.  Be interesting to know.

We know drell have females, but since Thane, Feron and Koylat are the only ones we've seen in cannon, hard to think what their fems would look/be like.

Still... want fem turians.  So bad.  My favorite OC has gender identity crisis over this fact!

Would you like to 'meet' Charla? Not as good as the real thing, no picture yet (because nobody will draw her for me), but I have a physical description as well as a psych. profile.

Meet 'Charla'?  Who is this?  (I totally meant to ask this earlier but missed it.)

Charla is female turian from my fanfic. Again, I don't have an actual picture yet (sorry, nobody will draw her), but I have a good description (based on what I hope turian females look like), and a psych profile. If you want to 'meet' her, let me know.
Also, sorry it took so long to respond, I just got back.

No worries!  And sure ^.^  Want to compare notes.  Quint's the only fem I've felt confident coming up with, but that's also probably because I have an unhealthy obsession with Turian tattoos. ^.^

Wow, I don't read this for a day and it grows by 30 pages. What happened to it being slow?

Ah yes, "jig dancing". The presentation of extreme happiness by Garrus fangirl Janey. We have dismissed that claim.

Did you ask the band to sing Rare Old Mountain Dew?

I won't be sticking around for 700.. I'm still one hour ahead of you and tired

I did and they did! 

If only they'd sold mountain dew at the bar. Had to settle for wine. Now I'm stealing my mate's internets. Couldn't go a day without y'all and Garrus - how cool sad am I?B)lol

I think I may not survive to 700 either. I'm sleepy. (jigging tires you out, man!)

[silentstephi]

I need to go to bed soon. Test in the morning, nerves will be wracking. And I won't get the results or the consult from said test until a week or two later I bet /flail



I'm going through the Archangel recruit mission right now, on Hardcore. OMG IT'S DIFFICULT.

But I'm AAAALMOST done. I couldn't do this as anything but Vanguard, but damn it, close combat usually means a dead Shepard /grumble grump

Can't wait to have Garrus in my squad instead of him just pea shootin' on the side lines

[Re_spawNZ7]

Quick question...how do I insert images into message? I am not sure how and I want to share some Garrus =)
