Despite the fact that Mock Effect is not on this site (although it may be soon with some luck) I think a review topic of this great fanfic is needed.
While i didn't get to finish it, the fic was very well written (few grammar mistakes that I'd go after), but overall it was pretty awesome. A few lines made me literally laugh out loud, and even though it tended to bash the game in more ways than it did help it, one would hope that the good folks at Bioware read it... and take into consideration the problems with those aspects which are heavily mocked and such.
Overall, 8.5 out of 10.

It's back! Finally!
Want to add my congrats at such an amazing fanfic. Was the funniest read in a long time, well done to Mr Buch.

It's back in its new home Grammar mistakes? Surely not! I did a thorough (okay, lazy) job of proof-reading every chapter several times (once).

In addition to being a hilarious parody, it's the best, most on target critique of the game I've ever seen, far better than most of the reviews. 10/10 (OK, it wasn't perfect, but I liked it that much).
I'm curious Mr Buch, this is something we debated on the Bioware forums, how much did you like the game?

I must say this is the BEST and FUNNIEST fanfiction that I have ever read. There are very few long fanfiction stories this long that I can sit through and read but this was just to good I couldn't stop reading. Overall I'd give it a 10/10. I hope when Mass Effect 2 comes out there will be a Mock Effect 2 ;D!!!

This could be one of the funniest things I have ever read. I really believe that this is the most in depth parody I have ever read. The only regret I had while reading it is why did we always have to have Paragon choices? Kill the Council!!! =)

Mr Buch, would it be possible to add the chapter names in the forum listing, it's hard to find the right chapter otherwise.

Sorry quander I like paragon better. So there. You should write a better one I think. It wouldn't be hard.
Dagon if I did that I would have to split all the chapters up, which seems like it would create too many threads for one story.

Well, may be then just the title of the first chapter in each section, just something to make it easier to navigate than numbers alone. No big deal in any case. Thanks.

HaHa. Write a better one? One I don't think I can write that well, and two if I did write something I think I would be too embarrassed to post it where everyone could read it. But, hey. Maybe I will. I dunno. But I still think you did an amazing job.

Dagon I don't think there's room in the title for that - yknow? If you open a Mock post you'll see the title of the first chapter. I think that's the best I can do matey. I forget that people who arent me don't know the order and titles of the chapters.
Thanks by the way to everyone for these absurdly nice compliments.

I stopped reading ‘Mock Effect’ the first time I found it, because I was having so much fun, that at one point I was actually reading ahead from where I was in the game, and for some strange reason, the words ‘spoiler alert’ started flashing in my head.
So, what can I say about Mock Effect?
I can tell you that while reading it, there were a few times when whatever beverage I was having at the time, came out through my nose.
Priceless.

Mock effect was really good! Funny, and the screenplay format worked really well. I could learn alot from that for the random Celtex scripts that I write.
I was hooked from the beginning. (Normandy Flew past Jupiter. I am STILL impressed).
So if I was to give a rating, it would probably get a 10! Well done!
