Greetings, People of Thedas!

[analect]

I come in peace. And now, new raspberry flavour! 

It's all darkrose's fault, I swear. Anyhow, pleased to have found what looks like a highly awesome community, and felt I should come wave at you. So... *wave*

So far, my stories are all over at fanfiction.net, or my website (which usually manages to run a few chapters ahead), but I will be posting them on my journal, and AO3 when I get around to it. Right after I get my coffee mug back from the Procrastination Fairy, most likely. 

I write a lot of smut in so-called real life, so my fanfic tends to have more blood, guts and character interplay than kink... even the most perverted of us need downtime, right? Current projects include various City Elf-related whiffles - not least my massive, multi-volume Tabris epic, Feasting on Dreams - but, after delving into DA2, I can also see m!Hawke/Anders featuring heavily in my future. Along with substantially more kink. It was that party banter about 'electricity thing' that did it. Ah, well...

If it's of use to anyone, I'm also available as a beta reader/copy editor. I can spellchek and maek grammer werk and everyfink.

Welcome! Though I'm sure more awesome and funnier people will be along shorty to welcome you better. With, like, way better icons than I have, too. And who aren't mostly-lurkers.

"I write a lot of smut in so-called real life."

Real life? WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN....

[lenna_nightrunner]

Welcome! It's awesome to have you here :D

[ashstoner_021]

Welcome welcome! Always nice to see fresh meat-- er... I mean NEW FACES. Yes, that will do.

[brynna]

Welcome! And what is this smut in real-life? We are CURIOUS! :)))

[amhran_comhrac]

Welcome aboard! And smut... irl smut? Like, as a job? That sounds... incredibly fun. Details, please! How would one get into such a line of work? Any tips?

[elysium_fic]

Welcome! And yes, what she said. How does one actually make money with smut?

[solitae]

Welcome and hope you have fun :D

[scarylady]

Welcome!

I know who you are: you are the person with the Tabris picture on your FF that gives me envy because it looks so highly characteristic and real!

[analect]

Aw, thank you! I'm glad you like her. I have a toolset and a procrastination problem.

[rhiyah]

Salutations! New people are yummy!

And /ditto -- Do tell us about RL smuttinesses!

[ouyangdan]

NEW BLOOD!

Err...Welcome! Yayes! It's an exclamation point day! >XD

[analect]

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

Ah, yes. Smut. *Ahem*. I do indeed write a lot of original romance and erotica - mostly GLBT, with some het and kink - and occasionally people even pay me for it. Didn't want to post anything too OT or commercial here, so I blogged in an explanatory manner, for those who might be interested: http://analect.dreamwidth.org/1058.html

Tips... gosh. Um... never submit anything you haven't finished writing, research the hell out of any publisher you intend submitting to, and keep a very open mind. Don't overuse passive voice, -ing participles or 'was/were', adhere obsessively to format or submission guidelines where you have them, and try to keep synonyms for genitals imaginative but not weirdly so. Is that any good for a start?

Jeez, I'm not here five minutes and I'm already talking peens.... I'll go wait in the car.

[scarylady]

Talking about peens = a perfectly ordinary day on the comm. You're fitting in beautifully, hun.

[analect]

Bahahaaa! Thanks. Good to know. ;)
