Hello there! I'm apparently another Mass Effect fan. I've been making various attempts to write (mostly fan fiction) since 2005, but I've always been reluctant to share the work. I have a short, sort-of-romantic ME fic falling into the FShep/Garrus trend (I don't think the fact I had been writing down ideas of that since the ME1 game quite redeems me!) called Binary Star, posted here as well as on FF.net. It is almost complete but for its middle part. I've also got ideas (notes and excerpts) for two more stories in the ME universe, the one revolving around the construction of the Normandy, the other, very loosely related to the first, taking place during the first contact war on Shanxi. Writing-wise, I'm an obsessive self-editor (which largely explains why I hardly ever post a thing I've written!). I have a great love for literary language as long as it remains crisp and clear, and I'm striving to achieve that in my writing. My favourite authors in the fantasy/sci-fi genre include Ursula K. Le Guin, J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert Heinlein. I also paint. I have an account on deviantART with my works.

Thanks for stopping by, Lieden! I took a gander at your DA page, and I'm very impressed. Your work has a very unique style to it.
Enjoy your stay! =D

Welcome, lieden! Good to have another member.
The art on your DA page is very good! I'm very impressed by this one, 'Under the Sun'.
What is it with Garrus anyway? Sigh...

Welcome, indeed! I'll have to wait till I get home from work to check out your art page (damned rude of them, blocking DA at work... sheesh!) but it sounds great. PS - I don't get the Garrus thing either. >_>

...fic revolving around the construction of the Normandy?
Count me in. Once upon a time I was a ME1 Garrus shipper, but since that's actually become possible I have escaped from the fold with dignity intact. Now, I'm writing a lot about EDI and the Normandy, and would like to see what others do with them as characters.
That is one, to use the technical terms, mad impressive deviantArt gallery btw.
In short, welcome! : D

Nice to meet you all, and thanks for the warm welcome! I've half a mind to be apologetic about my Garrus story... but well -- I suppose you can judge by the story itself, rather than the preference. ;D You never know; you might even find a fresh take on the whole thing. But I'll agree that there are more exciting aspects of the ME setting to tackle. As for the gallery, many thanks for your kind comments. I've been painting for 10 years, mostly as a hobby, although I have taken courses in an art school, too: those helped immensely.

I'm very happy that cake went into the face of somebody called liedan rather than me. ;D Thanks a lot nonetheless, both of you!

That's perfectly all right, and I often have the same plight as you; I just pointed it out, because you know... sometimes things like that stick, and thought it better to mention it now. :)
And thanks again! :))
Side info: I made this username up by scrambling my usual handle a bit (due to lack of availability), then found out that it's actually an existing type: the gen. case of "liesi", which is a Finnish word.
