A quick hello
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the group (and Dreamwidth, for that matter - to be more accurate, i'm on Dreamwidth BECAUSE of peopleofthedas), and I thought I'd say hello before I started commenting and posting. For starters, my name is Nicole ;) I'm a final year law student who spends entirely too much time reading and writing, and blames DAO for her dismal grades last year but is well aware that nothing will change this year either.
I've been reading DA fanfiction for about a year now, mainly lurking on fanfiction.net although I've occasionally gone elsewhere. I prefer DAO as a game to DA2, but I do own DA2 and have managed to finishne Act I. That said, from fanfic I've worked out what happens in the rest of DA2 even if I haven't managed to actually sit down and finish it. Previously, I've flitted between a bunch of different fandoms, but predominantly hung around in Harry Potter (like a lot of people, apparently). For the past four months or so I've been working on an epically long Dragon Age Origins f!Cousland fanfiction (my outline says 50+ chapters without Awakening) which I'll start posting here shortly, and there are a few plotbunnies floating around in my head (Wynne/Irving, with a touch of Greagoir, anyone? Or a not-so-quick glimpse into Eleanor Cousland's head?).
In terms of characters, err...how do I pick? I fell in love with Alistair to start with (to the point my brother asks me how 'Alistair' is every time we meet up - it's embarassing) and I still think he's really cute, but I've since fallen hard for Zevran and Loghain. Much more fun (for me) to deal with the dark and twisty people. (Oh god, I think I just gave away that I've seen a few episodes of Grey's Anatomy.) In terms of origins, I predictably like the Human Noble and the Mage origins.
Uh, I think that's it. For the moment anyway.

Little-known fact: I hated him with a passion my first couple of playthroughs. Then I recruited him. That's a sign of good characterization right there.
WELCOME

I do so love getting fresh meat... er... NEW PEOPLE on the community! I look forward to seeing you more, and seeing your fics of course!
We don't bite too hard. Unless you ask for it, of course. We're EVER SO accommodating after all... 8D

P.S Re Harry Potter: I'm afraid my interests are rather odd. I seem to have this thing for older guys (like Loghain), so I tended to read Dumbledore/McGonagall (and yes, I know he's gay but that was before I discovered that) and Snape/Harry (yes, yes, I know it would never have happened) stories. I have read Dramione, but its not been my focus ;)
