Greetings all,
First time poster here, even though I've been reading stories here for years and years! I am a lover of the video game series Mass Effect; that, coupled with being a SERIOUS romantic means that I am turning to the writers here for help.
Let me give you some background. The game is set several hundred years in our future. Humanity has joined the galactic community. Said community consists of several known intelligent races, some more reputable than others. There are three games in the series, named creatively enough Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3.
The major alien races in the game, besides humanity, are:
The Major Races:
the Asari, the Turians, the Salarians,
The Minor Races:
the Elcor, the Vol,
The Outcast Race:
the Quarians, and
The Criminal Race:
the Batarians.
In addition, there are two "races' of sentient machines: the Geth and the Reapers (the MAJOR bad guys in the series). The story revolves around your character, last name Shepard (you enter a first name, but it never appears in the games, and you're always called either "Commander" or "Shepard".
The meta-plot of the game series is as follows: Every 50,000 years, the Reapers come back to the galaxy from their hibernation in dark space outside the borders of the galaxy and "harvest" all the intelligent, space-faring races. They break down their physical bodies into component DNA and make new reapers from that material. At the start of the first game, it becomes known that the reapers are making their appearance soon, and Shepard is the human to stop them. Oh, side note, you can be a man or woman, and that has some bearing on your romantic entanglements in the game.
Now, on to the romantic entanglements . . . Most of the major races can at least mate with each other, and emotional attachments constantly form across species' borders. The premier race in the galaxy, the Asari, are humanoid, blue-skinned, and have, instead of hair, "semi-flexible, cartilage based scalp crests that grow into shape." The Asari are also VERY human-looking, and are mono-sexual meaning that they don't employ the DNA of their sex partner to conceive a child, instead . . . well, ok, here is the official wiki page on Asari biology (I want to get to the story idea):
http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Asari#Biology
Anyhow, in the games, you meet a young (only 109 years old) Asari named Liara T'Soni. She becomes a love interest in game 1, and you're able to continue that affair, and even up the ante in game 2 (your character is able to make an offer of bonding, children, old age -- basically marriage. In game 3, you're able to sleep with Liara again, and you tell each other how you feel (here's a YouTube of the sex-romance scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leUFdDqYIX4).
FINALLY . . . THE IDEA . . . THE REQUEST
If you follow video games AT ALL, you're aware that the fans of ME3 are MASSIVELY IRATE AND ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED at the ending Bioware put in for the Mass Effect Series. Throughout all the games, all the conversations, EVERYTHING you do is guided by YOUR CHOICES, your decisions, to choose a high road and be a paragon, or take the low road and be a renegade. This was completely negated by Bioware at the end of ME3.
My idea/request is for someone to write a LENGTHY series about Shepard and Liara, their life and love together, the adventures they have rebuilding the galaxy after the horrific attacks of the Reapers, raising their children (I think 3 kids would be good, maybe 5), and their travels on their starship, the Normandy 2 (http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/033/5/a/SR2_Normandy_by_CKuhn.png isn't she a beauty!?).
Here are some character bios:
Commander Joshua Shepard: http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Commander_Shepard
Dr. Liara T'Soni-Shepard: http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Liara_T'Soni
By the way, the "Joshua" first name is my character's name. I realize I've gone on at length about this, but their love story is very near and dear to my heart, and I would love to see it taken to the next level, both in length and to a much hotter, more explicit sexual plane.
Thank you.
