fanfic: Wings of the Storm Crow

[bellaknoti]

Series: Wings of the Storm Crow
Title: Social Engineering (Chapter Seven)
Rating: AO
Pairing: Lily/Zevran
Summary: I invited my past to come back and play; now the question is whether or not it is worth it. I'm about to commit international forgery. Anything will be worth it, if it keeps him with me, if it keeps him safe.

if some of my slang in this chapter makes no sense to you, please say so.

Ayla/Zev art by Aimo

[kismet76]

Yesterday I received a juicy package from Malaysia, and this is part of its content!

It's my Warden Ayla, with Zev.

Again.

Yeah, I know, I'm kind of repetitive... XD
Anyway...


( here it is! )

If cookies are biscuits...

[zute]

Just a random question popped into my head I hoped Scarylady or someone might answer.

In the US biscuits are a quick bread: 
Not sweet, they're like a roll but leavened with baking powder. They are the yum!

And this is a cookie
Right!

So, what do you call an American Biscuit in England?

Mysterious Elf Guy is revealed!

[aithne]

His name is Fenris! http://dragonage.bioware.com/da2/world/characters/fenris/

(And my jaw dropped when I read about him, as the description of what was done to him rather neatly matches my description of clocksmiths in one of the Old Roads stories: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5726688/15/Old_Roads_Quiet_Foxes Holy convergent idea evolution, Batman!)

Fic: A Murder of Crows 3/?

[1smut_princess]

Title: A Murder of Crows 3/?
Author: Rhion
Rating: T for this chapter
Summary: F!Surana and Zevran each have their secrets. Some are stranger than others. The trouble with secrets is that they are best kept by only one person. But there's always someone else who knows the hidden things.
AN: Muddle piddle. My brain's at least active today, and I'm slowly re-editing this fic, and am finally, yes finally past the writer's block, and am almost done with chapter 7. Aiesh, thank the powers that be. It was positively irritating to be staring at the document going "Ack, I know what needs to happen next, I can see it, but how to put it? :blank stare:"
Beta'd as per usual, by Amku, she of the awesomeness.

Murder 3

Delicious apparently being shut down

[elysium_fic]

Since so many people here rely on Delicious, and since we use it ourselves for the tent party, I imagine a lot of people will want this information:

http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/16/is-yahoo-shutting-down-del-icio-us/

Just to make this a little more helpful, maybe we can share alternative sites we know of? I know DW is intending a social bookmarking feature but it's not available yet.

Other than that, I know of Pinboard and that's about it.

EDIT: A link with more information including some early impressions of Pinboard vs. Diigo.

PC GAMEPLAY footage finally revealed!

[amhran_comhrac]

And it doesn't look too far off from how it works now... but they don't seem to reveal if the top-down camera is still available.
(The engine honestly doesn't look like it's been changed much, though, so I wouldn't be shocked if it was)
Go here if video doesn't work

Vir Lath Sa'vunin: Hiatus

[lenna_nightrunner]

I am sorry to bring you the sad news that we're putting Vir Lath Sa'vunin on hiatus until at least after Christmas. We hope all of you have a wonderful holiday/break--however you choose to spend it--and we promise to bring everyone's favorite Dalish Duo back to you in the new year.




Tesni and Caerwyn don't care about your stupid shem celebrations, but at least one of them claims s/he will miss you.



<3!

Idea! Story Time!

[1smut_princess]

What would ya'll think if we could get someone who's somewhat decent at voice acting to read various stories and record them into mp3 format of fic? Possibly as an ongoing series?


EDIT: Test run of reading a single chapter is done. Anyone curious?
