while they did live happily ever after

again, you can find it in its entirety at ff.net.

( part two )

So, normally I don't post my own fic here, but this one, well, I want to post it wherever I can, and that amounts to about four places, one of them being here, so, well, there you go. This wiki entry and this one sort of give you an idea of the general things surrounding this specific story; it helps to know that the character you play in Dragon Age is a Grey Warden, which is an order of people who drink darkspawn blood in order to be able to kill archdemons, taking the taint and mastering it, at least for a little while.

Anyway, here is my fic; hope you enjoy it.

Title: Legend
Author: Jade Sabre
Summary: The Warden and Andraste; a study in light.
Notes: This was originally going to be my entry for the "legendary" lightning round at the dao_challenge LJ community, but I quickly realized I wouldn't be able to do it in fifteen minutes. Try two hours and fifteen minutes. Anyway, I have to acknowledge a few influences on this piece:

1) The fic "But A Sword," by tjadis, which has been lingering in the back of my head in its own beautiful way,
2) The novel The King's Rose, by Alisa Libby, which is an absolutely fantastic character study of Catherine Howard, fifth wife of Henry VIII, and
3) The fic "Deathsong," by LoquaciousQuark, which is an excellent Bleach fic (I'm not in the fandom, but there's nothing a little wiki-ing can't help you with), as well as some of her other fic, as well as her general outlook on life.

This was written to "Farewell," the final track on the Pocahontas soundtrack, on repeat, and reads pretty well with it.

The quotes from the Chant I obtained from the Dragon Age wiki.

A little piece of my heart went into this; I'd love to read your reviews.

Disclaimer: Dragon Age belongs to the brilliant people at Bioware.





( Leliana calls the Warden a sunflower, and it is not far from the truth. )

So today I was reading the comments on the latest installment of Kyoshi Hold 'Em (shiperrific crack fun) and someone was laughing at the idea of Aang going through puberty, and said it would like Azula getting her period. So I tried to write crackfic and then kind of failed, but I was pleased enough with the results to repost them here, with minimal editing. Also unbeta'd, so comma abuse probably abounds.

Title: idk, "End of the Innocence" or something, 'cause it's ironic
Author: Meeeeee
Rating: G unless you're a boy easily grossed out by casual mentions of girls gushing blood

( call it a character study? )

A meme from Quarkie who is ignoring me to work on her ~*~artses~*~ or something thought I had fallen off the internet, brought to you by my inexplicable desire to tease you with my writing.

Post a sentence (or paragraph) or two from as many of your WIPs as you want, with no explanation attached.

They are not in any particular order, mostly sorted according to how I found them.

( fanfiction )


( original stuff )

pick a--a world, any world I've written in or that you've seen me write in, fandom or original, whatever. And then prompt me on it. Any prompt, be it something you've always wanted me to write, or something you've always wanted to read, or--whatever. Anything.

Hit me with it. I wanna write something.

(example:

Quark: hmm
zuko
"know that aching pull"
Jade: it's the stretch of the burn scar on his chest
it itches when Mai touches it, and tugs when Katara is near.
the end)

This drabble is manonlechat's prize for donating $5 during the help_haiti Lightning Round.

She asked for something Avatar, Katara/Blue Spirit, maybe? And so here are 500 words. I hope you like them!





where shadow chases light

( Aang read wind currents, and Toph felt the shifting of the earth, but Katara saw into shadow. )

Of the fanfic variety.  (Stop groaning.  ...I'm looking at you, mysteree80 .  I know you've already stopped reading, but I'm still giving you a Look.)

Namely, I have finished Not Yet by Lightning, with an awesome final line that belongs half to me (the non-awesome part) and half to Quark (everything that is awesome).  So, uh, if you want to read it, since now you can just read it all at once and be really confused, rather than just sitting around for weeks waiting for an update to continue your confusion, um, please, go ahead.  I put in some nice symbolism, some running motifs, some character development...all in all, I think it turned out quite well. 

Fanfiction.net says it rounds out nicely at 63,950 words, of which I would guess at least 950 are author's-note-type-things.  So...that's pretty long.  For me, anyway.

If anyone feels like reading it, again, you can find it here:  http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4142011/1/Not_Yet_by_Lightning .

enjoy!

Whelp, folks, I know I've been talking big for a while now, but it's FINALLY HERE! 

That's right, my epically long (if 55K is epic) fanfiction based on the main plot of the Neverwinter Nights 2 campaign is finally up and running!  Now, I know y'all are all just falling over yourselves to read it, but there might be some lingering questions in your mind, such as "What the heck is Neverwinter Nights all about?" or "What's a tiefling again?"

So here's the deal.  If you want to read it (and some of y'all PROMISED you would *puppy eyes* thought of course you don't have to, but just think about what a welcome procrastination tool homework break it could be...), I'm going to be writing brief summaries of the main plot action that I left out of my fic here at the LJ, and then posting a link to the chapter.  That way you (hopefully) won't be totally lost; the fic is designed as a series of...snippets, I guess, of a couple of my own invented subplots that rely on the main plot and intersect with it but don't cover every aspect of it.  Some of the scenes take dialogue directly from the game and then tweaked, others are completely my own; I'll be sure to let you know which is which.


Now, please enjoy Not Yet by Lightning, Chapter 1.

I just thought I'd warn you.

anyway, I've got this niggling little storyline in my head, except these excerpts don't do them justice, but I'm too chicken to upload them to ff.net, so instead I'm torturing whoever stumbles across this with them.  the characters come from the game Neverwinter Nights 2.  This is fanfic expanding upon some of the scenarios in the game.  A rundown of the names mentioned:



Anyway, here's some un-betaed fic.  Any thoughts would be most welcome.  I kinda want to expand this, but I also need to beat the game.  Oh, decisions, decisions.
