( It's been a busy few days for Anders, but everything is nearly in place... )

Seasonal Prompt - Stages of Life WINNERS

[miri1984]

We had a post asking about this, so....

MANY apologies for the delays in this. The votes were cast and results were in a while ago, but poor Shimmy has had a hand death that necessitates her becoming a cyborg, so prizes have been delayed. The prizes will be coming anon, but we'll let you know who the winners are now so you can rub your hands in gleeful anticipation of your coming goodies!

First up, the gorgeous sealcat submitted the only art entry for the prompt. We didn't post it in time because it came in after I'd correlated all the others (and I stupidly didn't check the email for it), but considering it's in a class of it's own, Sealcat, Shimmy and the rest of us are awarding you a special prize. Here it is:

For fic, we decided to award three prizes, first prize, highly commended, and biggest tear-jerker. 

FIRST PLACE went to the gorgeous jessicajones  for her fic A Dark Overture - A fantastic take on the legend of Garahel. I think everyone was taken aback by how rich and beautiful her characterisation was, as well as.. well, just magnificent use of language. Masterfully done.

HIGHLY COMMENDED went to the luscious valiasedai  for her fic Daughter - a DA2 Hawke fic, evocative and tear inducing and again, beautifully atmospheric. What is it with us and things that make us cry???

AND BIGGEST TEARJERKER went to the munchable what_ithacas_mean  for The Coldest Winter - an exploration of the stages of life for Kallian Tabris that had us all sobbing and nodding and going "YES SO THAT'S WHY!!!"


If you haven't read the fics, they're all still there at thedas_ficarchive , check them out!! Shimmy will update you all with prizes as soon as she is able.

Thank you all again for participating!

The Thing with Feathers, Ch. 6 (DA2 fic)

[solitae]

Title: The Thing with Feathers, Chapter 6
Characters: Lilian Hawke (mage), Fenris, Anders, Varric, Isabela, Merrill
Rating: T
Word Count: 2000
Summary: "I want everyone in Thedas to have a chance to hear our version of it. This is just the beginning. Mages will be free." - Lilian Hawke. It may have started in Kirkwall, but now the revolution spreads with Hawke and Anders at the center.



Much thanks to drakontion for the hard work as a beta. Also, I blame ouyangdan and the rest of you that hang out in the Fade Bar IRC for a certain food reference.

In Chapter 6: Chantry confrontation as promised, and an old friend shows up.

( Words dissemble, Words be quick )

News! Get your news, fresh off the griddle!

Sorry, I may have overcooked it a bit.
I meant to post about this a couple days ago but forgot.


One Month Left!
That's right, everyone... start prepping your manifestos. We decided three months would be a decent chunk o' time for the spoiler lockdown, which means the floodgates open on June 8.

If you've been putting off that last love interest playthrough, well, there's your inspiration.

In the meantime keep using cuts and tags (and everyone has been awesome about that so far). I just wanted to give everybody a good chunk of advance warning.

And speaking of cuts and tags... don't forget the NSFW/AO checkbox when you're posting that extra spicy Sister Petrice/The Mother/Ser Jory hurt/comfort[1] yarn. We've got a lot of new members, and most haven't had time to learn who the smutpeddlers among us are. (hint: I'm one of them)


...and I almost forgot.  There's a new box on the sidebar, titled "Right Now" (as in "right now I'd love it if someone would give me a better title for that thing since that's really a bit too pta newsletter for my tastes") where you will always find any ongoing community prompts, winners of the recent prompt contest, current news... and maybe eventually a few other things we've got cooking up.  

[1]the result of me trying to think of the most unappealing DA smut ever to be conceived. Please, don't take it as a challenge! Please

No More Heroes, Chapter 14

[bamftastik]

Ack! Sorry for the delay on this. Work has been sucking me dry. Also, this rambling beast now has a plotted ending and not too many chapters left to go. Hopefully this lights a fire under my butt! ;)

Title: No More Heroes, Chapter 14
Characters: Wynne, Alistair, Leliana, Morrigan, Loghain/Justice, Anora, Sten, Nathaniel, Zevran, Dog
Rating: T
Words: 1,800
Summary: The companions have returned to the outskirts of Denerim to perpare for the Final Battle (Take 2). Anders has been arrested by Cullen's Templars. Alistair came face-to-face with Loghain/Justice and promptly fainted. Now, Wynne finds herself giving unexpected advice. When everyone seems to be planning the battle without him, Alistair falls off the wagon with a resounding thud.

OYD's Very Special CrackFic Theatre Presents!

[ouyangdan]

I'm riding the CrackFic Gravy Train with Biscuit Wheels, kittens!

This one's rated M for bits of violence and some mild steaminess. Yes, my adoring kittens, it seems that those scamps, Kahrin and miri1984's Carver are ready to take their relationship to the next level. Not everyone is as excited about this as you and I are!

Things you need to know before clicking through the cut: Possible mild spoiler-like things, characters, implied or otherwise, that I do not own, and references to a certain sneaky tax-evading darkspawn.

Other installments are here and here.


( Who knew that a gloom and doom future of slowly becoming a tainted ghoul could draw two people together? )

Justice in Surrender: Chapter 4

[analect]

Oops. I could have sworn I'd posted this already. Possibly got lost in the excitement of porting all my fic over to my journal. Which I've now done. Finally. Whee!

Title: Justice in Surrender (Ch.4)
Rating: M (ish. Well, barely.)
Word Count: 5740
Characters: m!Hawke (mage), Anders
Summary: Tobias is frustrated, and Anders' reading material raises almost as many questions as his strange associates.

( Tobias awoke on a thin, uncomfortable mattress… little more than stuffed sackcloth on a narrow pallet, really. )
