great work both ont he exalent art and the awsome story. i realy liked them both. especaily the alistair art. very well made.

[Miliat]

I loved this last one. A sense of danger but sweetness, and the realization of what his choices mean. Excellent.

[Sandtigress]

Gah I find Wynne's relationship talks annoying too. Another well-told story, Sisi, ready for part II! :-D



Did Aedan pick Bhelen just for blood? My HNF went with him, though she despised him, in part because of what he wanted to do for the casteless. Everyone else has chosen Harrowmont, up until my CDF who is there now.

[Sisimka]

Aedan wrestled with the Bhelen decision his whole time in the deep roads and it's the first time I actually drew parallels between that choice and putting Alistair on the throne (yes, I know, fifth playthrough and I finally noticed!).


He did choose Bhelen because of blood. It was what he was wanted to do for the casteless that cemented the decision for him, however. When Bhelen called for Harrowmont's head at the end though, Aedan tortured himself with guilt (which we all know he does very well). I like to believe he convinced Bhelen to merely imprison Harrowmont instead.

Very nice entry into the history of Aedan and Leliana's relationship.

Sounds very similar to my HNF Amelia.  Blood was some of the decision although since Harrowmont was supposedly picked by Endrin to be his successor, there was a little bit of muddiness to the idea of succession.  For Amelia, the decision was similar between Anora and Alistair - Anora wasn't wrong to have the crown since she had a claim through marriage, but Alistair had an equal if not better claim and would take care of the less fortunate better than Anora.  Bhelen calling for Harrowmont's head was a knife in the heart though, that made her incredibly guilty too.

I think she spent a lot of time, before and after, wondering if she was doing the right thing.

That guilt thing is going to be his death! Maker's Breath!

But it gives us angst, and somehow, a good dose of angst is always worth reading. :-D



More Aedan please!

[Sisimka]

lol! I'm working on it! This is NOT the story I intended to post today, it kind of crept in and took precedence over the one I was working on yesterday, which has a lovely ANGSTY Aedan chapter in the middle. Hehe.



Want to finish this one off first though, as it's only two parts. I think the other one may be more like three or four, we'll just have to see how carried away I get.

[Sandtigress]

I'm just pleased to hear you're still writing us lots more Aedan to gobble up!

This!

I think your Aeden deserves his own fanclub, because he is awesome.

[DalishRanger]

Very nice, can't wait to read more!

I did catch one typo goof at the end though - Leliana's line says "We going to be late to dinner…" when it should be a "we're" or "we are." I actually didn't notice it until my second reading, but now it's glaring at me.

>.> don't bother him about typos

[DalishRanger]

Just because a work is good doesn't mean it's free of mistakes. Even a typo should be pointed out, as sometimes even the simplest mistakes can change the entire meaning or connotation of a sentence. If you don't fix mistakes when you find them, how do works improve?

I appreciate it when people find mistakes in my work, so I'm holding myself to the same standards. One of my members on Maker's Breath, while enjoying my series, would pick out any errors or things that seemed off in my chapters. I caught a lot more errors than I would on my own, and my writing improved for it.

The way I see it, to ignore it when I know it's there is doing Sisimka a disservice as a writer.

Sandi and Miliat - you two are so cute! I'm flattered you like Aedan so much!  I really enjoy writing about him. :happy:


Mastice - I'm a 'she' actually, dunno what posessed me to write about Aedan as opposed to my SEVEN female characters, but there you have it. I guess I'm one of his fans too!


Ranger - Thanks for pointing out the typo, appreciated and fixed. I did catch a couple of others not long after posting (despite reading the danged thing over several times!) but totally missed that one!

You're welcome. Sometimes it just takes one goof to notice several more. I can't tell you how many times I've tweaked Seasons of Love to fix misspellings (usually game related ones like "Ostagar") or odd wordings that I catch after re-reading them. Honestly, I'm somewhat surprised people don't notice them more often. But maybe I'm just being too self-critical.



Heh, I'm tempted to draw Aedan myself after I've worked on a few other works I need to do first. That is, if you don't mind me stealing him for a bit, Sisimka. ;D

[Sisimka]

I'd love to see what you'd do with him! I don't mind at all... I can send you a link to a screen shot of him if you like or there's the pic I drew of him myself you can work from. Just let me know.

[DalishRanger]

I've seen your drawing of him, but a screencap would be great, so I can see the original source.

[Masticetobbacco]

whoaa, bioware games attract a lot of women

and I was just getting used to a sausege fest

We disprove your signature.

[Sisimka]

Actually, I think his sig is kinda funny.

[DalishRanger]

I do too! I should reword that - I meant "disprove" as in "negate" not "disapproval"

[Sisimka]

Yeah, I realised after I submitted my reply that you meant 'disprove' and not 'disapprove', but eh, I still thought the sig was funny!

[DalishRanger]

Oh, words. You can be so confusing sometimes. XD

Quick question (need it for my sketch) - how much time passed between the archdemon's death and the first assassination attempt on Leliana (think that was chapter 9ish?) in The Hero of Ferelden? I can't remember and I can't seem to find it skimming through the text. xD; Basically, I need to know how unkempt or not Aedan would've looked at that time - hair/stubble length and whatnot.

[Sisimka]

Ah, chapter reference would be 'The Crow'. I imagine he would have been looking fairly presentable at that stage as Leli would have 'groomed' him for the Coronation. I guess he'd have two months worth of hair on his head too, as he'd not have seen any hardcore combat and wouldn't have been wearing his helm.



You're talking about the two assassins Aedan knocked out the night before he left for Amaranthine, right? Coronation happened two months after the arch demon's death.
