Hey, I was just passing and I saw a ME spoof!
I think I'm qualified to say welcome to the site and thanks for putting up a fic. Funny one too!
I'm only up to the end of Eden Prime so far, but I've been laughing! You put lots of really original, interesting views and critiques in there, which keeps it original. And the quick-fire style is great - it never lets up.
In particular loving the corset piercing, the Alien Super Alpha Frat House and 'I want no backstory or plot tension on my ship!'
Oh and Saren 'trashing his bedroom'. This is great fun. Well done - I will definitely be reading the rest. ... ...
Loved the Firefly reference with Joker's dinosaur.

Man this was funny! I love the quick pace, I felt like I was reading Mass Effect in 60 seconds except more like 20 min. My favorite part was probally
Kaiden: I did have a true love once you know, but I never put my whoo-whoo dilly in her cha-cha.
Shepherd: That explains a lot about you, flopsy.
I pretty much died at that part. Good ME spoof!

I love the parts where you have a go at the writers' depictions of the asari, and the little references are great too. The Spaceballs one made me smile, Whalers on the Moon made me laugh a lot, and the Ferrero Rocher joke is to be congratulated.
And people don't use the word 'sexcapades' enough. So bravo.

Welcome and sorry for the late welcoming. It's sharp and bitting especially how you like to break the forth wall when bagging at BioWare's narration/announcement of the story. Call me juvinile but this: Shepard: Grand Theft Auto in SPAAACE!That warms up my belly for the rest of the night over here I have to say, I've enjoyed the ME Abridged. Soooo... That's awsome!

I admit I was a bit disapointed by the game, and took it out through the fanfic. I guess that makes Emmanuelle Sheperd a self-insert, but nevermind. ;D

I can sympathise. When I wrote a similar story to this last year, my Shepard was an unashamed, complete self-insert. I think that's a good thing for parody.
I finished reading just now, and enjoyed it very much. I like the running gag about Shepard driving the Mako into deathtraps. I did that a lot on my first playthrough.

I registered on these forums just to tell you how awesome your Mass Effect Abridged fic is. That's some really funny stuff. You had me grinning the whole way through. Corset piercings? I'll never be able to look at a Turian seriously again! ;D Kaidan was pretty hilarious too. Actually, I really liked how your Shep asked him why he was still interested after she'd shown almost total aversion to him - in the midst of a comedy fic, that was actually pretty cute. On the whole, you have me wanting to play as a total renegade next time 'round!

All of it was brilliant, but I'm going to specifically mention one part because I'm a dork:
Wrex: So’s everyone else that wasn’t part of our squad. Suicide mission, Kaiden: Got it memorised?
...probably wasn't intentional, but was that a Kingdom Hearts reference? XD

XD Absolutely was intentional, if anything seems like a reference in my fics, it usually is. I'm glad everyone seems to be enjoying the story.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet. Just re-read it on FF.net
This is sheer brilliance. I lol'ed all the way through.
I appreciated the The Longest Journey reference, too.

I couldn't find it.I looked through all the 17 pages of mass effect stuff as well
Oh wait, all i had to do was type mass effect abridged into google.
That was pretty funny, especially all the parts about Garrus
I was wondering why i was getting through it so fast, but then i remembered what Abridged actually means

It's in the "M" rated section on FF.net - you might have to change your filters before it'll appear...

Extremely funny.
The one thing I thought odd was that judging by the Firefly references, you seemed to think that Joker was voiced by Alan Tudyk (Wash). He was actually voiced by Seth Green, who has also worked with Joss Whedon (he played Oz on Buffy the Vampire Slayer).
