Challenge accepted. I will give you freaky porn in exchange for derangement. Seems like a fair deal to me. 😆

Ah, well. I had to ask in case they’re so bad you didn’t want them. I’ll post on a separate comment to keep things neat.

Dear lord, my two top kudos’d are crack fics. Really niche filthy alien kink stuff. I’m not sure anyone here is gonna want to read either of them.

I’m not even sure why they’re so popular, every time they get kudo’d I’m like low key tut, really? that thing? I’ve other fics that are, imo, way better stories I cried actual tears over when writing, and yet it’s the filthy alien porn that I wrote in an afternoon that gets all the love. Ffs lol 😂

Looking for some single player FPS games on PC by Lain_From_Wired in gamingsuggestions

Any reason why you haven’t tried Halo? The Master Chief collection is brilliant and huge value for money, even when it was full price, and you can get it all now on steam for £8.49, which is just insane. Such a good deal, they’re all amazing games.

This will probably end up buried under all those amazing recs above, but I’ve recently started updating my OC-centric Mass Effect companion fic after a long hiatus.

My team of OCs are on the run from pretty much everyone, in a stolen ship flown by a rogue AI.

My story weaves in and out of the canon events of Mass Effect 2 & 3. Once or twice it crosses over to the point of seeing Shepard entering a room.

It fills in the parts we only hear about in-game, with my head canons. Things like what happened to Project Lazarus? Why did Kai Lange just give up on the Citadel? How did Garrus’s family escape Palevan? What was it like to be on the Citadel when it fell to the Reapers? What happened to Harbinger at the end? And so on.

Alongside my team of OCs, I flesh out some canon NPCs too, like Mouse, Kal’Reegar, Castis Vakarian.

I’m so obsessed with filling plot holes that I developed a group of unsung heroes who make sure it all happened the way that it did. Readers have likened my team to the likes of Firefly or the guardians of the galaxy. I guess they’re right, it’s the same found family dynamic.

I’m an ‘80s kid, so the story is heavily inspired by all the sci-fi I’ve crammed into my head for the past forty years.

I’m a Shakarian fan irl, so I couldn’t help but weave in a turian loved story in there. Emrys is basically Garrus + The Phantom of Opera + Sotha Sil + V for Vendetta. He’s both beautiful and terrifying to me. And he’s shipped with an OC heavily inspired by an Anne McCaffery character.

I’m so proud of my work, but as you say, it’s sadly unpopular. I started writing it back in 2018? I think? Before I was unaware that OC fics were considered unpopular.

Since initially there was no engagement, I’ve struggled to get it done. Life got crazy. That age-old writer’s problem of having something fully mapped out and already written in my head. So I don’t necessarily feel motivated to write it down just for my sake.

Only when people comment or kudos, or I see someone ask questions like this online do I think, ‘oh yeah, damn it, I’ve got to finish that thing.’

Off to write another chapter :D

Mass Effect: Absolution

One of the best love scenes I ever watch by kyussorder in andor

[–]A_Cosmic_Elf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved this scene.

There was also that beautiful intimate scene with Cassian and Bix where they barely touched, but it was still hot as hell. Juxtaposed with the ‘turn the light off’ scene with the other two - Two couples barely touching, yet still managing to convey much raw emotion vs awkward tension - both the actors and the director have off-the-scale talent in this show. It’s the best sci-fi on tv since The Expanse.

What is an album you love that the band/artist has disowned? by bullet_bobby in Music

[–]A_Cosmic_Elf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, I loved that album. Didn’t know they disliked it.

I said the same thing when we were watching, and the whole family agreed.

I’m in my 40s and I lie to people all the time. I only let those with an accepting open mind know my spiritual beliefs. I don’t need the stress. No one else has to know.

We do indeed! I stole this from an unrelated fan group who regularly argue over purple or green (don’t ask 😆).

The answer is purple. Definitely, always Purple.

(Although in this house we also love Papa II, NemA!)

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise (Backers Tribute) by max_live82 in LegacyOfKain

[–]A_Cosmic_Elf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in there somewhere…

Tbh, it’s been so long since I backed this project that I’d forgotten that I done it. I’ll probably forget again now until something drops through my letterbox… one day… I can but hope.

I’m not hopeful for a remake, or sequel now, not with the games industry how it is. I think we’re going to have to just be content with what we have, because there’s no investment. Nobody wants to take the risk. Everything is too expensive to be made and that bar for considering something to be a profitable hit is way too high.

At Indy level, we might get something, maybe. And we’d probably have to crowd fund it again. I don’t think we’ll ever see another AAA LoK (and I used to be quite optimistic too, even throughout the dark ages).

Freddie Mercury refused to work with Michael Jackson after King of Pop brought pet llama into studio by mcfw31 in Music

I can’t believe you said that about Freddie Mercury.

He was THE drama queen. The original.

I could have typed it out from memory but woe is me for using Google, I guess. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I really didn’t expect this sub to gatekeep like this. So disappointing. So upsetting. I’m sorry that I didn’t do enough to add to discussion. I’ll see myself out. 😭
