Author has written 19 stories for Dragon Age.

Greetings! My name is Carrie, but I can be found online as femalegamer and krilia.

My account name is femalegamer because I am one. Well, that was simple. :) I play tabletop RPGS (including but not limited to D&D, Shadowrun, Star Wars D6 & D20, Spycraft, Amber DRPG...), I play White Wolf LARPs, old and new World of Darkness. I play board games, both regular like Clue and strategy, like Settlers of Cataan. I'm a complete computer geek - I'm a programmer by profession and started playing computer RPGs with Tunnels of Doom for the TI 99 4/a or Adventure for the Atari 2600 (I'm sure which was first). I have a particular fondness for real time and turn based strategy games, particularly Warlords and Total Annihilation.

So far, I've only written Dragon Age fanfiction, but someday I may branch into some of my other favorite fandoms, like BSG, SG-1 or more rare, like the Chronicles of Amber.

I'd like to thank everyone who's come here for reading my work - it's really thrilling to read your comments and see my stories marked for alerts or as favorites.

The Keening Blade by Arsinoe de Blassenville reviews
She hesitated-"Mostly, I couldn't kill you, knowing that I cheated. At the Landsmeet. Our duel." There was a heavy silence. Loghain said slowly, "You do realize that I am holding a naked sword at this very moment?" M for sound reasons.

Oh Well, They Deserved It Anyway by Sarah1281 reviews
