    I propose we compile some Dragon Age works, any and all, here. :sherlock:

    I'll start off with a few I like.
    The Keening Blade and Victory at Ostagar, both by Arsinoe de Blassenville.
    In my opinion, the writing is all around excellent. The Keening Blade is a bit of a guilty pleasure and Victory at Ostagar is an interesting alternative to the story.

    I have been following Corin by Isabeau of Greenlea.

    I found the political intrigue to be well written but it is the characterization of the Warden and Anora that makes me love it. My only worry is can the author handle an epic action scene which is bound to happen with where the plot goes.

    Been following Victory at Ostagar for a while and it's one of my favorites so I second that recommendation. Thanks for suggesting Corin; I hadn't seen it before and I really like it.

    The Wardens' Tale is a story I just found a few days ago and finished reading today. It's a good read and I've found myself becoming more attached to the characters as it goes along.

    Not sure if I should add stories that are already in the library, but since Victory at Ostagar is also I guess I will.

    What Must be Done is a good piece from Loghain's point of view that I liked a lot.

    There's a few other DA:O stories in the library, but I'm not a big fan of any of the others.

    Blue Skies, Fresh Air, Freedom, and Darkspawn WIP DA:O F!Amell/Zevran
    Never Boring Complete DA:O:A F!Amell/Anders
    Apostates of Amaranthine WIP Post DA:O:A F!Amell/Anders
    This series is in my opinion about as good as it gets in Dragon Age fanfiction. If you haven't read it you need to. Never Boring was written first, then Apostates which is nearly finished, then Blue Skies.

    I haven't read them in a while, but I believe all fo them could be classified as NC-17, except for maybe Never Boring.

    Honestly, anything by Amhran Comhrac is great stuff in my opinion.

    I've read BSFAFD and disliked it. I don't imagine the others are better. The main character is a stupid skanky bitch and the author seems to have a hate-boner for Wynne.

    Honestly, the only Dragon Age fiction that's really struck me as being decent is Veneficus, but I haven't really gone delving for fics that much in the Dragon Age fandom. Dragon Age 2 has really turned me off from the series.

    To each their own I suppose. But I totally agree about Dragon Age 2. What the hell Bioware was thinking I could not guess.

    Varric is sweetness though.

    Varric is the only thing that makes that game bearable. Without him, I would have quit before getting in to Kirkwall.

    I also enjoyed Anders. I was cackling like a maniac at the end of the game. Made the whole game worthwhile.

    You enjoyed how they completely derailed his character from Awakening?

    Hey, I liked the Grand Cleric, she was all kinds of boss in a Grandma-who-makes-the-best-cookies-ever kinda way. Killing her made me sad.

    The actual scene where the Chantry blew up was kind of cool, visually, but the sequence of events leading up to it was all kinds of stupid.

    This. A million times, this. The entire plot of DA2 was utter shit, and none of it actually made a lick of sense.

    You dodged a bullet there. Unfortunately, from everything I've seen, it looks like Mass Effect 3 is going to suffer the same problems.
