EffectingTheMasseshide bio
 Author has written 1 story for Mass Effect. Well nothing much to really say about me. Obsessed would be a general word. I have been reading Fanfic for three-ish years now, and I love it all. I like to fancy myself as a bit of a writer, but really I am never able to get the stories in my head down on virtual paper. I think my real skill is in reading other people's amazing stories. They always give me heaps of ideas anyway! Basically the main Fanfic's that I adore revolve around Mass Effect. Love the series, was PO'd about the ending , as were many, but I have come to terms with it. Mind you, reading other people's amazing takes on what should have happened has helped tremendously in the healing process. And that's my piece. Someone else? COUGH Right so, I am writing my first Fanfic ever. A War of Hearts- Darkness Never Ceases It is a Mass Effect fic, Ashley and Shepard (M) romance thing. I have head the story in my brain for a while, and I felt it was high time to write it down. Have a look, maybe you will like it, maybe you won't. You won't know unless you read it! |
