[Fanfic: DA2] Rabbit Heart 14.1

One of the fun conceits of writing the very post-game RH is the somewhat meta treatment of Anders, Hawke and Fenris as level-capped characters in a non-level-capped world. I guess taking the Varric-really-wasn’t-exaggerating-these-guys-are-machines route does make combat somewhat less dramatic which is why I’ve been either skipping over the fighting bits in-story or have had them narrated by outside observers (Carling, Penrod).

Also: I really suck at writing combat.

Nonetheless, I hemmed and hawed a lot over whether to put the Estate showdown “on screen” or not. In the end I didn’t, mostly because it was going to be another 4-7,000 words that weren’t going to be adding anything to the plot of an already overly long fic (it and the “templars escape from the Pit” chapter both got cut for time, basically). And yeah, that’s a huge hint: Renard wasn’t the “end boss” of RH.

Which isn’t to say that no important things happened at the Estate, just that killing Renard wasn’t actually one of them.

Also: Spirit Healers are like the Wolverines of Thedas. It’s true.

… man I need to finish this thing.

BAD END [URBAN NORDICA 2: DEAD ON ARRIVAL POSSIBLE ENDING]

randomredux:

Okay, AHHHH, this one may be even more confusing than the last because AFAIK the second Urban Nordica book, Dead on Arrival, doesn’t actually exist online anymore, NOR IS IT ACTUALLY FINISHED. But I wrote this back when it was in full go, AND BY ODIN’S BEARD I WILL POST IT. Needless to say, SPOILERS. Also, it starts with some REALLY nasty profanity.

My probably, most likely really bad ending (minus epilogues that actually help wrap things up. Have ‘em planned, haven’t written them) to Urban Nordica: Dead on Arrival. GET THEE READY FOR LULZ AND HEAD-SHAKING.

Oh, Dead on Arrival. So much angst!

A Pirate’s Life For Me [POSSIBLE Urban Mythica Book 7 Excerpt]

randomredux:

This will make more sense if you’ve read URBAN NORDICA: CHAINBREAKER (which you should because ME AND ALISDEE WROTE IT AND IT’S AWESOME), but you may enjoy it anyways. Back from 2008;

I wrote this on a lark… just a scene I had in my head, lol. Possible excerpt from the seventh Urban Mythica book featuring Miriah, our heroine; Loki, a god on loan from Alisdee; and Raine, Tara’s tattooed vampire lover. And a more or less mindless beast Joseph hunting them.

I remember totally doing some really crappy and totes unworthy art for this, back in the day…

I found some stuff I’d written a while back with Alisdee’s Loki and my Mythica characters that may or may not be canon. Anyone interested in reading it?

randomredux:

Because, like, I can totally post what I wrote four/five years ago. I’ve found 1) A POSSIBLE end to the second Urban Nordica book Dead on Arrival, and 2) A POSSIBLE snippet of the final Urban Mythica book that may or may not actually happen and features Loki as a Very Special Guest character.

SHOULD I MAEK POAST?

POST POST POST POST!

[Origfic: *sfaj] Our Slender Friend

Lawlz badfic *sfaj/Slender Man crossover. You know it had to be done…

I think this is and will be the only *sfaj story ever where Dee is the explicit POV character. Given the nature of the genre, I thought in this case it was an excusable little bit of vanity.

~2,300 words. Not technically horror, though YMMV.
