It's time to big up some more well deserving artists who took part in the You or Your OC Comp.

has only been with us for a few months but already has a gallery worthy of a visit. Firefly fans may also want to take note of DB's writing.  His OC Raen Drakaren is a real favourite of mine. He's as deep and complex as the world he lives in. Awesome reads:

His world came into existence piece by piece to the sound of the blaring warning alarm. It was loud and invasive and it pierced his skull with every screeching wail. Streaks of red pulsed against the backs of his eyes in time with the sound which he knew immediately were the warning lights in his personal quarters.
Things came into a fuzzy focus as he opened his eyes and had to make a conscious effort to keep them open a

Chapter 1

"I want Saren as badly as you do Shepard, let me join you."

It'd started out so simply. He was just another ex-military, now C-Sec Officer, yet another turian in the glut of turians that were always on the Citadel. He'd shown some skill with a gun, sure; but probably no more than any other turian in C-Sec armor that could be seen strutting around the Presidium -or any of the wards- like they owned the place. Which they pretty much did. Pick any turian out of that orderly throng, and they probably could've made the shots he'd just made.

But there was something special about this one. When she looked him in the

Artist, writer, awesome interviewer, and currently very much missed here on DA while she is temporarily off-line. But please feel free to leave her some messages for when she gets back. In the meantime check out her gallery for more stuff like this:

Enjoy!

It was just another mission in another damned base. Cerberus was running some nasty experiments in here; what they were, James didn't know and it was probably better that way.  The shuttle finally landed and he got out while Shepard told Steve to be careful and take care of himself, which made James smile. They soon entered the base; Cerberus commandos welcomed them with some heavy gunfire; they fought them hard along th SoledadEven with all the staff and people on the Normandy, the ship seemed so empty… so dead. It held so many memories of her and Thane. She could recall all those times they wandered those corridors, All of the times they spent together here…

Tears started forming in her eyes and threatened to fall from them. She tried her best to block them away as she paced to her cabin. Breaking in front of anyone wasn’t a good idea.

The elevator ride took forever. When she finally reached the room, she collapsed on her bed, tears raining from her eyes. Her heart was torn into million pieces; she was overwhelmed in pain and agony

“Si Unfair"Thane...."

He lay there in his hospital room, His breath so heavy, and his eyes half-closed. He tried to talk, to say something! anything! But his throat was so dry, the words just wouldn’t come out.  He reached for her hand instead, touching it gently, and he felt her tightening her grip.

He tried looking at her again. Tilting his head was so damn hard, but he did so anyway, ignoring the utter pain in his neck.

She was standing there, her head down, her hair fell on her face, covering it. But he could still see tears glistening on her cheeks. He wanted to reach for her cheeks, wipe the tears then kiss her beautiful lips, and tell Relief“There’s no escape.”

“You must choose”

She groaned, trying to fight those venomous thoughts that kept echoing in her head and threatened to consume her.

She was lying in rubble, frozen in fear. She had no idea what was going on at the moment. Many questions were going through her head. The Sky that was still filled with glowing orange balls didn’t help in raising her hopes. She was completely terrified at the thought of failure, the thought of life being completely wiped out. she completely refused to believe that, a part of her told her that she succeeded, the other said she didn’t. But she wasn&r

Get's a special mention for creating an awesome OC, Buddy, but wasn't able to finish until after the comp. She is also the artist of the cover of Resolution [link] and is allowing me to use more of her art from her collection. She is a fantastic writer too:
   


I'll feature the two runners up soon.

For those of you asking, there will be a Res Evil/Mass Effect crossover coming soon. It's done! It just needs fleshing out, then editing to within an inch of its life. Chapters 1 through 3 will be hitting my Beta very soon. Then, fully recharged, refreshed, and ready, I'm going to edit Res 2, Part 1 to within an inch of its life... Or it will kill me, one of the two.

If you don't know already the FtGF comp has been extended to June 10th.
Fighting the Good Fight - Competition!This one is just for the writers, but the next contest will be for visual artists.
If you haven't yet read yet and plan to, you may not want to read on, for there be spoilers in 3... 2... 1...
This competition is all about writing an alternative ending of an alternative ending.
WOT?
Ok, so, FtGF is a very alternative ending to Res. http://ezri-krios.deviantart.com/gallery/40873359 And this comp is all about creating the alternative ending to FtGF!
Maybe they're all saved, or maybe they live happily-ever-after as husks, or maybe Anderson plays the third wheel after Thane and Shep cross the sea. The point is to give our ill fated lovers another outcome, a happy outcome. Here you must save Thane from a fate worse than death... Extra kudos for saving Anderson as well, but he's optional (sorry Admiral).
So, here's what you need to know:
~ You can begin your story at any point in FtGF.
~ You can add additional characters and scenes.
~ The 'peril' remains the same. In this ca
