Minstrel in the Galleryhide bio
 Author has written 1 story for Mass Effect. Haryo. I am a classical musician based in the United States and Switzerland. To help pay some of the more outrageous bills, I also write professionally for an arts journal. Even though I am restricted to writing non-fiction for the purposes of my work, fiction - particularly sci-fi - has always held a special place in my heart. I have played computer games for a few years now as a means of decompressing, and have found a rich source of writing material in almost every title I've tried. 1/24/13 - Now with beta-reading powers! What has science done?? I'll be accepting a few commissions at a time (PM me if you are interested); just be advised that RL has me in its unmerciful grip at the moment. For those who may be curious... Games of choice: Dungeon Keeper 2, Starcraft, Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Neverwinter Nights, Mass Effect (all), Dungeons of Dredmor Favorite game characters: Edwin (Baldur's Gate 1 & 2), Sand (Neverwinter Nights 2), Professor Mordin Solus (Mass Effect 2 & 3). Basically all the hyper-intelligent, condescending, professorial types. For some reason I love them to bits. Favorite genres: Sci-fi, fantasy, dystopia, psychological horror, humor, romance (if done tastefully) Favorite authors: Douglas Adams, Isaac Asimov, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert Heinlein, H.P. Lovecraft, Ayn Rand, J.R.R. Tolkien, P.G. Wodehouse Favorite books / short stories: Foundation trilogy, The Glory Road, The Menace from Earth, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Atlas Shrugged, A Princess of Mars, The Music of Erich Zann, anything Jeeves & Wooster-related Favorite composers: Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, J.S. Bach, Jean-Philippe Rameau, William Boyce, Urmas Sisask, Eric Whitacre, Arvo Pärt Favorite bands: Jethro Tull, Kent, Korpiklaani | |||||||

Tongue-in-cheek fill for a strange request over at the Kink Meme. Prompt: Mordin's tattoos are not actually tattoos, also, it has to be Mordin/Fshep. Weird, I know. But bear with me. Fill is humorous, tender and a little sexy. It's a little ridiculous too.
