"They didn't cover this in basic."

Having problems adding meaty elements to your fanwork? Need to discuss the intricacies of krogan courtship to scare the crap out of (or turn on) your muse? Can't remember a specific tidbit from one of the games and you just have to have it? Cast of characters giving you fits?

Got writing resources you'd like to share? Need verb conjugation help? Problems with characterization? Do you have helpful tips on a character's voice or motivation? Do you need crafting supplies and can't find a good supplier? Got an e-bay supplier that sells the most fantastic mohair for your kitbashes?

Post quick fact checks/lore discussion/research links/writing help/requests in this thread!

I'm working on a Thessia chapter right now, and I can't find anything that might indicate the name of the capital city, or the city they're in. It's like going to Tokyo and just calling it "Earth". Especially since according to the fluff, Thessia isn't a unified government but a series of allied republics. So they're somewhere in there

I kinda want to say Serrice on the idea that the most prestigious university dedicated to Prothean studies would end up being in the same city as the beacon, but on the other hand I really dig the First City idea, because it feels like a really Asari thing that they'd actually keep their origin city intact.

I tried to make a list of named places on Thessia for my own purposes a while back; there aren't actually very many of them, it turns out. (I was somewhat surprised ... you'd think there'd be more detail available on the asari, but no, apparently.)

The two cities that keep coming up by name are Armali and Serrice, mainly because they both have a Liara connection. Other than that, I can't recall any that get named on Thessia itself. (AFAIK, they don't even tell us the name of the place where Priority: Thessia happens.)

And the ME3 codex doesn't tell us which one the capital of Thessia is, either, so far as I recall.

Brain Camp (thread for fic)
"My brain has been scrambled like an egg! How do you think I feel?"

Did your muse get a biotic kick to the face? Turian at the helm of the dreadnaught that killed your father? Do you need feedback or encouragement for your fic?

Post your WIP fic snippet in this thread only!

(If you don't have a snippet and only need to rant about how your muse has failed you miserably, do it in this thread. Title it as a rant so the muse can be given its due of push-ups.)

Kiss the dirt, maggots!
