maddeninghide bio
 Author has written 3 stories for Mass Effect, and Dragon Age. Lifelong writer but new to actual structured stories and very new to fan fiction. Just having fun, really. I'm a little obsessed with BioWare and a big fan of the darker sides of these stories and characters, especially when they're fallible, unreasonable, and occasionally unlikable - just like the rest of us. I will have a larger (much much larger) story set in the Dragon Age universe going up soon as my editor friend (read: husband) helps me chop it into chapters and proofreads it. Feedback is welcome, but not necessary - I'm an alert setter but almost never a commenter myself. |

The Blight, however was far from over. All other origins included, plus Hawke and his companions. Cousland/Loghain, Morrigan/Anders, Surana/Zevran, Fergus/Anora, and more. Half a million hits and still going.
