that's why i generally only read fic with the default hawke/shep. then i don't have the "but wait it's not MY character, that isn't how it went!" feeling so much. i've only just started playing skyrim so i can't comment on that fandom, but there are some really great writers in the bioware fandoms, and lots of m/m and some f/f if you look.

Any recs? I only hang out on the kink memes and there's not a lot of m/m or f/f?

what pairing do you like?

well spicyshimmy (http://archiveofourown.org/users/spicyshimmy/pseuds/spicyshimmy) writes a lot of wonderful long stories for ME and DA, so there's her, the MShep/Kaidan tumblr (http://fyeahmshepkaidan.tumblr.com/tagged/fanfic) which posts links to new fic (very hit or miss, but i wouldn't know of any of these otherwise), the Steve Cortez/James Vega tumblr (http://fuckyeahcortezvega.tumblr.com/) has some fic too. i've liked the writing that i've read of highcastle (http://high0castle.tumblr.com/) too.

if i weren't so lazy i'd unprivate my diigo bookmarks but i can't find a way to mass public them, so that'd be a huge PITA.

But... there is no default Shep. I mean, whenever I write ME fic I call her Jane and if I ever mention any physical traits I use her (old) default characteristics, but then before we even leave the stuff that's on the character creation scenes she immediately veers away from a ton of other people's Sheps if there's ever even a passing mention of her origin or past career. (Or, for that matter, but the fact that she's a "her" instead of a "him")

I mean, I suppose you could say that a default Shepard is someone who never veers even the tiniest bit away from their mission even to help people out and makes what are widely considered the worst choices at every turn (except, oddly, when it comes to destroying the Collector Base) if you go by what happens if you start ME2 and 3 without importing a save, but that would...

...Okay, I would actually get a kick out of reading a few stories featuring no-import Shepard, but I don't think she'd be that interesting for long.

when people say "default hawke/shep" they generally just mean physically. that's all that i need to separate the fiction from my playthrough to enjoy it.
