Black Joe Lewishide bio
 Author has written 1 story for Mass Effect. Hello. I'm not a creative writer, I'm a journalist. Reading the Mass Effect fanfics on this site, however, has inspired me to try and be semi-creative. Sure, I'm not coming up with new characters or settings, but it's an enjoyable exercise for me. I won't update often, and I may not even finish anything, but I'm here to enjoy myself. Cheers! Note that I'm going to endeavor to focus on the inter-character drama and dialogue, rather than the tense combat scenes and gameplay elements of the Mass Effect games. I will be including action scenes, but these stories will be dense with dialogue, character interactions and situational drama. |
