Author has written 22 stories for Mass Effect. I tend to write a lot more thesis papers and free form poetry than stories, but the Mass Effect universe has sucked me in. It's been over 10 years since I wrote fanfic, so I'm a bit rusty. These stories are meant for amusement or to get the story-loop running through my brain down on paper or .doc files as the case may be. Either way, enjoy! All my Mass Effect stories are based around my fem!Shep, Rachel, earth-born/sole survivor. Though all one-shots, they are interlinked by her. Author's notes are added to explain what might not be common knowledge to readers, but always feel free to ask if still confused. IMPORTANT NOTE: I have explained this in the fic 'A Side Note', but I feel it needs to be placed here as well. I (and my character) write G-d with a dash because I follow the belief that, if there is a possibility the word can be defaced or discarded, I cannot write the word in full. Nor would my character miraculously do so, nor would she suddenly change her voice or, more importantly, her beliefs. I truly do not wish to get into theological debates with anyone over this. It is not my intention or desire for my (and my character's) religion to become an issue with you, the reader. I didn't even realise it would be a hot topic to begin with. So, if you feel that this takes away from the stories or if it bothers you in some way, please refrain from reading my stories, PMing me about it, or leaving reviews that have nothing to do with either my stories or my writing style but rather my (and my character's) religious beliefs. Thank you. Art created by the amazing Zweihand at LiveJournal. | |||||
