#and 50% random shite I am interested in/important RL stuff

[okami-zero]

It has occurred to me that I have read and enjoyed snippets of Dragon Age fanfiction on here and AO3, when my knowledge of the games is functionally nil. What infinitessimally small amount I DO know has been gleaned from snippets I saw a friend play and but and pieces and crumbs I have come across on tumblr and the occasional article on said games. I know far more about Mass Effect than I do anything DA.

But, I am still able to get invested in some of these fics because the writers I stumbled across just fucking....write in such a way that it doesn't really matter (thoigh I do sometimes have to whip uo some Google Fu to get some details, it's not hugely laborious).

Why I am rambling about this this particular morning (aside from boredom, work is slow) is Ibjust read a posted DA fic snippet and it hit me right int the feels, and pretty heavily. For characters I only know through these fics. There's also FFXIV srufd, too and I have NO BASIS WHATSOEVER for that game, I just know the music slaps and Yoshi P amuses me. And those fics still draw me in.

I have no idea where I was going with this... Or if I was going anywhere besides gushing about writers I follow. ^_^;

So, I'm just gonna shout out the writers I have been reading most lately, whether it's DA or FFXIV:

@elveny @kunstpause @irlaimsaaralath

Go read their stuff, it's all REALLY GOOD.

And a special shoutout to @captainderyn for freaking awesome SWTOR writing and for reblogging the three above and thus helping me stave off the terrible doldrums of IT work.
