I'm pulling the icon out only because you referenced it
It's a good icon. Kinda fandom in a nutshell. LOL
Just to be clear...I completely understand throwing canon out the window.
Totally understood... I was poking fun at myself for letting my irritation with a character (Leandra) skew my thinking so much it ended up in a story.
("Dammit, I hate her for being mean to my elf! And I must show my hatred off in a fabulous way!" oops. Forgot she's FREAKING DEAD by this point. My bad. )
I may have been unclear, but what I was saying specifically was for post-game, and I mentioned a mage-siding Hawke.
Nah, not unclear, I was just locked into in-game thinking.
Rivain worked for me in your fic... I've had the same thought about where mages (in general) would be the safest as apostates. Subjectively, Tevinter seems to be a fandom favorite, but... eep. No way!
And, thinking about it, less so in a same sex relationship I bet than a het.
Agreed.
On the other hand, there seems to be so little interest in Awakening compared to Origins and DA2
I really have no way of knowing what's getting read, because I open almost everything, and have nothing posted.
Good fic is good fic. It might not get a huge flux of numbers at the outset, but a good story will *keep* getting hits.
rogue is my favorite class
For Origins, I was split mage/rogue. For DA2, I've only played a not-mage one time each, otherwise always play a mage, mostly for the added Fenris and/or Anders angst. (Do you see a pattern here with my thinking? I really *am* that shallow.)
I'm just utterly fascinated by how different the story might unfold given the lack of Leandra
Hmmm... it would be interesting to see how you'd deal with all of that.
Plus, Leandra would be dead. I know one fan who'd cheer. *snerk*
Seriously, if you ever get around to it... I'll definitely give it a whirl. :)
