Freckles04hide bio
 Author has written 14 stories for Dragon Age, and Mass Effect. Thank you for visiting my home! As many of you probably know, I've been involved in the Dragon Age community since late 2009. This is my first foray into fanfiction, though I've been writing for going on 20 years. I can honestly say my imagination has never been captured quite so strongly as by the world and characters created by Bioware, however, to the point that I'm still thoroughly enjoying exploring it more than a year later. Although I haven't posted much on lately, I'm still writing DA fanfic of a sort! I'm a member of Warden's Vigil, the longest-running Dragon Age play-by-post roleplaying forum on the web. I play Aedan Cousland, the Hero of Ferelden; Rae Caoileann, a city elf from Denerim who is now living in Highever and strangely enough, involved in a romance with Teyrn Fergus; Malone Kincade, a bann of a small bannorn named Edgewater; and Solange, an Orlesian maleficar who isn't very nice at all. We accept roleplayers of all experience levels, so if that's something that interests you, please come visit us! For reference, the order of my connected stories appears below.
