Welcome to Flashpoint.

This is going to be something unique, and seperate from FABT. A breather, if you will. I was inspired by other one-shots and drabble-based fics I've reread recently (specifically Media Firestorm and Snippets), and thought: why not?

Just like those stories, this will be request-based. You guys give me requests for what you want me to do, and I'll write a chapter based on that concept. You don't need to be ultra specific, but just don't be too broad: nothing like "have Shepard and Tali be romantic". I need specifics. This will largely be fluff, but I'm open to anything really, which includes darkness and angst. And, as you probably guessed, it has to be a Tali/Shepard pairing. It also doesn't have to be romance-specific, and some friendship requests are also acceptable.

Now, some ground rules:

First of all, if you're going to suggest smut, NOTHING overtly explicit or disgusting. Any requests of this nature will be ignored. Smut must also supplement a bigger concept, and not be the concept in and of itself (eg. don't go "have Shepard and Tali have sex", have "Shepard and Tali do (insert activity here), that leads to sex").

Secondly, the concept can't be too broad or revolve around a large plot. Keep it simple. A simple event or activity. I WILL NOT be writing FABT level chapters when it comes to word length. Very much under 5,000 words.

Thirdly, if I feel that you are requesting something that is OOC (out of character), then I will either a) not do it or request a new concept or b) change the concept to make the character more in character. Keep this in mind.

Fourthly, these are drabbles. Short one-shots. With that in mind, remember that my update schedule is not laid out. I'll update where and when I can, but my main focus is still FABT. Please remember that.

Fifthly, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE SONG OR POETRY REQUESTS. I am hopeless in this regard, and could not possibly write anything along those lines...Flyin' Migrant Style was a rather embarrassing example of this.

Sixthly, while I will accept dark prompts, NO RAPE. No non-consensual prompts. I will crack down on this shit. Anyone who posts such a prompt will have their review deleted and/or blocked from reviewing my stories. I will show no leniency on this. Do not make rape requests. This is my first and only warning.

With that said, welcome to the spiritual successor to Snippets by Synweaver. I hope you enjoy it, and we'll see where this goes. With that said, leave your suggestions in the reviews and let's get crackin'!

Keelah Re'lai, troopers!
