Fantastic stuff, gang. I particularly like the subtle dichotomy in the movie scene; Thane lamenting that this is being added to his permanent memory base, while Shepard is probably using the most mindless movie imaginable to deliberately blot out the memories she doesn't want to recall right now. Neat.
This was still nice even though I have no emotional connection to Thane. He was forever stowed in my ship, even dying once because I forgot to do his loyalty mission...

13 year old men? I think the word you're looking for is adolescent, a 13 year old may not really be a child any-longer (whatever the law may say) but they're not an adult either. But yeah, I agree completely but unfortunately a lot of people don't and interpret PC13 as 'no sex please' for threads. Seems a little incongruent given a lot of the official content here but whateverCandidus said:
I think I agree with you, assuming you mean fanfiction is not a lower form of art or anything like that. It's quality varies just like everything else and it can lead to some really annoying legal battles, some which are the fault of companies, occassionally they are the fault of the fanfiction writer.Entitled said:
So yeah, not much difference at all.
OT: Excellent comic, never tried this paring in mass effect but maybe I will now.
They can be the "fault of the writer" in a common sense meaning, that is, if you knowingly disobey copyright law and get sued, you kind of had it coming.Dark Knifer said:
But looking at a bigger picture of copyright's morality, it is pretty atrocious that nowadays publishers can get away with stretching intellectual "property" so far, that it extends to banning other people's works just because it uses an "universe" that they claim to control.
"Fanfiction" as a thing only exists because of this "IP" control. Historically, picking up previous writers' works and continuing, altering, or countering them, has always been a main form of creativity. Homer's Iliad wasn't a greek superhero crossover fanfic, and Virgil's Aeneid wasn't an Iliad spinoff ignoring the continuity set by The Odyssey, these were just people writing what they knew.
That nowadays comparable works would be called fanfics, that writers have to hide along the grey areas of non-commercial Fair Use, and/or flying under the publisher's radar, so the only motivation left to continue with their legally unpublishable work is fannish obsession, is in itself an unnatural state.
This is true. In the instance of blaming the writers of fanfiction I was talking a specific example which I should have mentioned but I am lacking details as I can't seem to find the website but an author of an established series was working on the 4th book of the franchise. She came across a fanfiction of her work which hald a rather similar premise to her yet-to-be-released book so she did the right thing and contacted that author and offered compensation to the fanfiction writer so she could use her idea. This was merely a coincidence but the fanction author demanded co-authorship of new book and 50% of all profits.Entitled said:
So the book never got made because of fanfiction.
Overall, I think fanfiction can be a wonderful thing but many established writers, not companies, take issue with fanfiction, such as George.R.R Martins of Song of ice and fire fame.
As it is with most things both sides can be excellent or extremely petty but I do enjoy certain fanfiction, like 'The Unity Saga'

AAAAANNNNNDDDDDD she spends the rest of the war lying on her bed, singing a rock'n'roll version of "The Day The Teddy Bears Have Their Picnic."

Personally I can definitely see renegade shep letting her hair down every once in a while, while retaining the easy confidence.Fappy said:OT: Only problem I have with the portrayal of Shepard is that she appears... I don't know, a little too mouse-y. She doesn't really seem to me to display the rough edges that she does in the games. Maybe that's the point? Maybe you wanted her to appear more soft when she was around Thane and doing romantic stuff?
Either way, I enjoyed it. Another reminder that I miss Shepard, so thanks for that
Really good stuff overall =)
That was a good story. It took me a few seconds to remind myself that "it's not my Shepard." The going to the movies scene was funny. I think all Shepards would want to see Blasto on the big screen.
I appreciate the focus on romance Shep doubting him/her self. I personally thought that was the best part of ME3. It completely turns the roles. Normally Shep is the one rock that others cling to, but they had it so all these people you invested time and effort into became your rock. You show weakness to your love interest and they comfort you. You show doubt to your bros and they reaffirm their total faith in you.The Wooster said:
Shep's saving a seat for you in that bar Garrus. Stay classy, and take care of Tali for me.
Edit- Also, might just be me but but the feels are exponentially rustled when you read the comic while playing this...
3:17+ or just listen to it all...
well here's what mordin says if you romance himPhrozenflame500 said:
When Mordin notices Shepard's attraction to Thane, Shepard can ask him for advice regarding the drell. Mordin will advise her that human-drell romances are complex, as there is a chance of a rash with some itching and that oral contact may induce hallucinations. He offers medicinal remedies and information regarding positions comfortable for both species and details of erogenous zones. He also comments that Thane himself is "complex."
O.T. that was nice I enjoyed it

As the dreams go on anyone who has died up to that point appears as shadowy ghosts in the background. That last dream is a kick in the dick, showing everyone you couldn't save. I do understand why the child is the focal point though, children represent innocence, love, and life. Shep fixates on the kid because not only could he not save the kid, but Shep is coming to the realization that the reapers may, in fact, win. Thus destroying, or already destroyed, innocence, love, and life.
