Hey you! Yes, you!

I see you have stumbled across my profile page. How fortuitous of you. Though it was by no accident I'm sure.

Nevertheless, I believe introductions are in order.

My name is Moe U. Stache, M.D, esq, though some peers simply refer to me colloquially as Doctor Stache.

You may be one of these peers.

Now, as common courtesy, I believe it is your turn to introduce yourself.

Go on. Do it. I'll wait.

Ah, yes, I believe we've met once before. At the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing convention, no?

No? Oh. Nevermind then.

Back to myself, I'll admit, I am relatively new to this site on the web. Despite this, I must admit that I have already devoured much of the content located here.

In the figurative sense of course. One cannot ingest things over the interweb, as they are intangible, which I have learned time and time again over my studies.

I'll leave it to the cretins of Elon Musk to rectify that one day.

Throughout most my readings however, I have found that many perform a real crackerjack job at writing. Truly brilliant work all around. Bravo.

However, constructive criticism is paramount to every aspiring novelist wishing to develop their skills.

If I leave you a critique young ward, know it is because I love you, and that it is because I wish you to see you reach your full potential.

Yet, everyone constantly improves over time, whether it be amending one's run-on sentences or adding to a succinct yet ineffectual description, so fret not!

And so I find it fair that if you have any critiques or advice for mine own novels, have at you!

Seriously. Any suggestions or reviews for mine own writing are encouraged greatly. I welcome them with open arms.

Send me one of those Private Messages to communicate whether you think there's too many monologues happening or a character has been poorly portrayed or written.

This is the foundation that which good novelists build upon. I would not be, as they say, 'salty' at your suggestions.

Tips would better not only your enjoyment of the story but mine own as well!

...I might shed manly tears upon my overcoat however if you're words are truly loathsome and malicious.

...I'm sorry? What did you just call me?

But...my mother isn't...HEY! I don't quote 'suck balls'.

You suck balls!

No! That's not true! Stop it! Stop it you monster!

Why...why would you say that? How can you be so cruel?! Sniff... *youtube.com/watch?v=ee925OTFBCA&feature=youtu.be&t=20*

Ahem. In any case, I'm glad to say that I am joining this wondrous community, and that I look forward to see you all spin your yarns out there too!

Regards,

Dr Stache


If I had to list my favorite fictional series currently occurring, they would have to be:

- A Game of Thrones ( Or a Song of Ice and Fire if you are feeling elitist)

- Star Wars (Especially Old Republic Era)

- Mass Effect (But of course)

I must admit, I have enough knowledge of these subjects that I could probably write stories on them...OH WAIT.

Links to Loosely Affiliated ME things:

I find myself to be a very visual person, and I also find that I do not do the scenes and settings that I have in my head justice, so here are a few relevant (and hilarious) images that can help pick up my slack on the tales of Mass Effective, with a variety of other cool links to ME things as well! In mine own opinion. Opinions may vary.


Mass Effective: A Hero Made [Book 1]

Someone finds themselves cast into the world of Mass Effect. Shenanigans and wild escapades ensue.

Outer Banks of the Mindoir Colony (Ch 19)

Google 'Eden Prime Mass Effect 3' (since I can't get the link for it). The first image will be an aerial view of the colony.

The Colony of Mindoir - fextralife.com/forums/t479836/what-do-you-think-mindoir-is-like--my-own-tldr-opinion/

I wholeheartedly take this as canon (except for the Alliance being competent) and is beautiful world-building. There should be more fanwork such as this.

The second installment of E.W. Shepard and Liara T'Soni's Story that includes the two finally meeting, Shepard becoming a SpecTRe, the hunt for Saren Arterius and the destruction of the Normandy.

Cause and Mass Effect by claihm solais reviews
Mass Effect is a great game. A fun game. But the fun and games stop when it all becomes real...when I find myself on the Citadel, with the terrible knowledge of what's coming.

Mass Effective: A Hero Lost reviews
Saren's in the Past. Cerberus' in the Future. After the Battle of the Citadel, the Council is already ignoring the warnings we left them.
