1, I tend not to pay much attention to since I never finished the game. 2 was a great game and I've seen some nice fics for it. It also has a couple too many fics trying to redeem a character that should just be incinerated but I might be biased. Bishop annoyed the hell out of me.life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

I've written only for NWN2, though I've played NWN a few times and I adore Valen Shadowbreath from Hordes of the Underdark as my first pixel boyfriend.Originally posted by MaskedOne View Post
I wrote a Bishop story, but there's no redemption in sight. It's really quite horrifically dark and does NOT have a happy ending, despite being a romance.
I also wrote a mushy as all hell Casavir story too, because I am a mush pants.Comment

Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately
Lol, there are worse things to be in the world and Casavir at least was never a flat out traitor.
Bishop, is just a long lasting pet peeve of mine. He wasn't mechanically useful enough to keep around, I never had a compelling reason to want him in the party story-wise and character wise, if I want an a** with a sharp tongue then Sand is moderately useful. Then I discover NWN2 fanfiction and I'm sitting here going "awesome, NWN2 fics...
WTF, why is this character so popular?!?
He's a useless traitor that only stuck around because I couldn't get rid of him and only got out of the keep because I'm not allowed to call meteor storms down during a cut scene. Why?!?!?!?"

Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately
His usefulness does change depending on the character you play-- and his appeal? He's a bad boy. Chicks dig bad boys...in theory. That is until he turns on you...thing is, most of the stories ignore that bit. Mine, not so much. There is one way to get him to fight with you during the end game...and that's what I wrote about. And yet, he betrays her anyway in the end. I used this silly fan fiction to write about the worst kind of domestic violence. I don't know what that says about me.Originally posted by MaskedOne View PostComment

That you're saner than some other authors...
I've seen that pulled once or twice pretty well actually. Buildwise, shrug...

Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately
I finished the Tawny Man trilogy yesterday. I'm officially a huge fan of the series now! I hear there is another trilogy coming out late next year, too...
Took me about two months to finish all six books and I wish I could have stretched them out more because I didn't want it to end...
Right now I'm reading The Kings and Queens of Roam by the author of Big Fish.
EDIT: Does anyone know where I can find a decent reading journal printable for grown-ups? I want something more than just fields for title and author, and I love this but she only had it available for a short while.Comment

Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately
OMG. I finished The Strain Trilogy. I've had a lot of bed time while I am clearing up my infection. I was in bed for the very last hour of the book. I am not kidding when I describe exactly what I did. I lie there with my blanket bunched into my hands. And I balled into. Balled so badly. With such heaving silence. I actually questioned what the hell I was doing?! It was that intense. It was not the happy ending I knew it wouldn't be. It was..I was...gutted. Gutted to the hilt. All my emotions kept tense till the very end.
I think I might read it all over again.
And now I'm starting Memoirs of a Geisha. But in between I've also been reading The Worst hard time. Those who survived the American dustbowl by Timothy Egan.Satan is my spirit animal
