DA Fanfic: Powerless

[scarylady]

I've finally caved and posted my entry for the DA Asunder Creative Writing Challenge on FF. Today is the day that Bioware are to announce the winners, and if nothing else is capable of distracting me, reviews certainly would.  All feedback gratefully received.

*goes back to chewing fingernails*

Title: Powerless
Word Count: 2500
Rating: suitable for all, I think.
Summary:

For six generations the Laurentius family bred true; mage marrying mage to create a line of powerful Magisters. In Tevinter high society, if one is not a mage, then one is a liability, at the mercy of predatory Magisters and their… pets.

At fifteen, Livia Laurentius - daughter of Magister Lucretius and his powerful wife Cornelia - has demonstrated not a single spark of magic. Her future hangs in the balance; her parents are a hairsbreadth from sending her to Orlais for her own safety.

Lucretius sees no alternative, but Cornelia has an audacious idea.

It’s time for drastic measures.

EDITED SOME HOURS LATER:   I  made the top five!  Woohoo!!!

EDITED AGAIN NEXT DAY:  FF have now got their act together and the story link should be working again.  Sorry to mess you all around!

Left my somewhat garbled review on ffnet, but I thought I'd chime in to say that the Bioware blog is going to have an enormously high hit count today due to the fact that I keep checking it every five minutes!

I know! I've been determinedly playing SWTOR, but even so I keep stopping every 15 mins or so to check the thread on the forums.

Luvverly reviews of my story are cheering me up at least. Thank you! :D

They're up, they're up, they're up! I sadly didn't make it into the top 20, but I saw some familiar names!

I made the top 5! *dances*

I know! I'm so, so proud of you! You definitely deserved it for that story.

I'm much better at writing character studies than action, so I'm definitely in awe of writers that can pull off such powerful pieces (especially in 2500 words or less!)
