It occurred to me quite suddenly that I should link my good friends on

peopleofthedas to the Merrill/Isabela primer/ship manifesto I wrote for

femslashex. It's designed to be read by people who have not played any Dragon Age games, so the first bits won't be of much interest to you. Also, I gloss over a lot of the stuff that has nothing to do with Merabela as meaningless, mostly jokingly, don't take it too hard.

Of possible interest to you is the list of fanworks I included at the bottom. If you want to recommend any other Merrill/Isabela fanworks, you can comment on that post with links.

Also, on an unrelated note: Would anyone be interested in giving a quick beta to a multiple warden A/U? It's a little short of 4000 words (wow how did it get that long) and has some het and some femslash, but no porn.

I hope it's okay to ask here: it's not a DA art request, but I wanted to ask among "my people" first, and I am willing to pay with actual money. (...Or fanfic, if that's really how you want to play it, but I'm guessing most of you would be happy with cash.)

I have a high fantasy novel that I intend to self-publish. All I lack is a cover, which is where you come in. I'm planning to go with a .pdf initially (and/or ePub), so what I need is digital, not paper. I have a concept (black dragon coming up out of the water with its mouth open, trying to eat a star) but am open to alternative suggestions.

If you're interested, please email me at spiritwunion (at) gmail (dot) com with a bid and a link where I can see an example of your work. I hope to make a solid deal at the end of the month.

Ok, I'm not a big Anders fan, unlike some of you lovely lot.

Still, this is bloody brilliant: http://givethemhorns.deviantart.com/art/Anders-3-280052902

This is so gorgeous, I have to rec it here. Found it over at Nexus and stalked the artist back to dA.

I was grabbing some screenshots of Pounce, and then decided to look around at Pounce art. As we all know, Pounce always leads back to Anders.

I came across this, so I had to share!

Cats by *Kiany-kun on deviant ART

( And another lovely piece featuring Anders )

( Nothing at all to do with Anders, but we like to hear about Fenris's underwear, right? )

It's been a month or two since I've posted publicly to give

dragonreine her due for the amazing commissions she has been doing for Elysium.

(DR, you totally have my permission to post them here, btw!)

If you've missed them, you should totally check them out. They can be found here. (Beware, many are NSFW.)

( Chapter art for today's chapter under cut (spoilers for Elysium) )

I know I posted already today, but I *have* to recommend a couple of artists to you guys. I've been SPOILED by the art that's been done for me lately. Seriously, I can never stop smiling with glee when I look at these pieces. (I just got the latest one today, so I'm pimping these ladies out!)

( NWS for tasteful nudity. )

dragonreine has really been outdoing herself on some of the artwork she's made for Elysium lately, and since she doesn't post it here, I would like to encourage all of you to visit her gallery of art for Elysium.

( A couple recent samples -- SFW )

So, yesterday, in response to

scarylady's utterly unwarranted criticism of Alistair's sexy submissive bow before Duncan in my icon here,

seven_corbies drew me some Sixty Days in Jader fanart:

( included here, because it shouldn't be buried in my journal--maybe kinda sorta NSFW for naked, muscular, hairy chests )

Thought people might like to know I did a bunch of Dragon Age: Origins fanart recs at

fanart_recs. I made no real attempt at objectivity or breadth of styles (I have fairly specific tastes), it would be cool if someone else could rec there another month to get some variety.

No, srsly, this went unnoticed as a late post to the macro item, but I would REALLY REALLY like this done, and would trade a drabble for it.

Picture: Caladrius making sad face because you're about to cut his head off.

Caption: "But Black Dynamite! I sell elves to the community!"

...SOMEONE else has got to get the joke. I need to get everyone over here for a movie night. ._.

YES I POSTED THIS ON SiB TOO, SO SUE ME.

So actually whinging about it on Deviantart wasn't enough I guess.
Guuuuys, I wanna do an aaaart traaaaade.
Small or large, doesn't matter, equal level for equal level.
Sketch for sketch, ink for ink, colour for colour, chibis for chibis, etc. I will do subject matter from either Dragon Age or Mass Effect for this trade.

All I ask is I see an example of some of your works and stuff first before I agree.
I'm gonna want some singular OC Warden or OC Warden with Alistair. It doesn't have to be all naked and crap just, I don't care, MAKING BREAKFAST, or doing other such exciting activies as PICKING FLOWERS or PLAYFIGHTING EACH OTHER. I don't care.

I'm sure I've whinged enough about my DAO DA (DAODA ahaha) on here, but if you want examples I can pop a few in here:

( IMAGE HEAVY BECAUSE IT'S ART-TASTIC )

So come on am I good 'nuff huh huh am I am I am I

Here's a little tutorial on how we're going to handle fic and art requests and recommendations. By 'requests,' I don't mean requests for commissions or things of that nature. I mean a request for fanfiction or art recommendations from the rest of the community. A recommendation is what it sounds like: if you like a fic or a piece of art, recommend it to the community. Not only will this give us a lot of great fics to read and art to view, but it will also help promote the Dragon Age fandom in general.

Here is an example of a request:

Does anyone know of any good multi-chaptered M/MA/NC-17-rated fanfiction with an Alistair/f!Mahariel pairing? Other pairings are welcome as long as this is the main one. Drama is good but I prefer humor to be peppered in, as I think that this makes stories seem more realistic.

By the way, I would be more than happy to have that request fulfilled!

Here is an example of a recommendation:

Are you a fan of Sten? Are you open to the idea of being convinced to like Sten? Either way, I'd highly recommend

twist_shimmy 's "Strangers With Cookies." I really like it because she manages to portray Sten in a way that makes him an introspective, humorous, and relatable character. I didn't really like him before I read her fic, but now I feel like I understand him a lot better. Here is the fic information according to

twist_shimmy 's journal:

Strangers With Cookies
Sten/f!Mahariel, Alistair/Leliana
Rating: M
Chapters: Eighteen + Epilogue
Complete? Y!
Summary: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Sten and Adhara, a Dalish Warden, have little in common but disdain for the human race. But for two people thrown into the midst of Fereldan politics, this becomes a basis for friendship. Whether or not their mutual respect of one another will be enough to keep them sane is anyone's guess....

A link to Strangers With Cookies can be found on twist_shimmy's LiveJournal page.

NOTE: If for any reason an artist or author requests that your recommendation be modified or removed, you must do so immediately. Though this is unlikely, we want to protect the rights and respect the wishes of these valued contributors to our fandom.

As always, please let me or twist_shimmy know if you have any questions/comments/suggestions/objections, etc.
