All right, I think I've finally found my way around this thing. And what better way to use it than broadcasting what I have so far of my newest work? I usually have Varric give my friend-fiction a quick read before I share it with anyone else, but I think this snippet is particularly fantastic. It's dedicated to a certain new sparring partner I ran into.

Settle down, everyone, Aunty Isabela's got a story for you all.

A second before he was but a small pup, but now there stood a tall, handsome brute of a man. Ren, they call him. His bulging muscles moved powerfully underneath his thick cloak, foretelling a hidden strength that couldn't so easily be seen in his softer features. Pink, plump lips parted as he spoke, his voice a deep, alluring baritone.

His expression remained as still as an untouched lake's surface as he began to strip his clothing. The cloth fell heavy. What was left was skin as white as snow, marked with striking tattoos that resembled sharp claws. Oh, he was a beast all right, but not in the ways anyone expected.

He looked as if he could split any man or woman in half with the force of his passion, more powerful than any spell, but his shy demeanor had an allure of its own as well. How could anyone resist such a delicious, sculpted man? Even his buttocks appeared personally shaped by the Maker Himself. What any man or woman would do to grab hold of that forbidden treasure. But alas, that is an excavation for another day, another night underneath the sheets.

UNHOLY SHRIEKING

[pomerenian]

[Let's just say when Ren went browsing the network this is not what he expected to find. He thought Isabela was kind of strange when he met her, but now... She is DEFINITELY STRANGE? In the stranger danger kind of strange sense.]

This does not read very appropriate. [A long, awkward pause. He just doesn't know what else to say but if he weren't a dog right now his face would be completely red and embarrassed. It's a good thing that doesn't translate to a mechanical voice.]

I love you

[sealegs]

Oh, hello there Ren. Did you enjoy my little excerpt? I think it describes you marvelously. It really paints quite the picture in my head.

voice

[redsea]

[ The one day Kougyoku decides to check the network and she hears this. Technically, she's old enough to be listening to this sort of thing, but don't expect much from a sheltered princess. ]

Oh, I—w-what is this? What an indecent... Are you saying you have met this person? And that you are writing about him? How are you so certain that he could do those things?

[ Because she's not sure if she can handle meeting this man in person. Not that she expected to! Shut up. ]

voice

[sealegs]

It's friend-fiction! It's really quite entertaining to write.

[An affectionate laugh. This girl sounds ADORABLE.] I have met him, and trust me. I haven't seen him in action, but I have a good instinct on these matter.

voice;

[cyphered]

[Nate doesn't know whether to laugh or be horrified. Who writes flowery purple prose about a puppy? He remembers Ren -- he had helped him find his feet the first day he had gotten here, but he didn't remember anything about him being anything other than a dog.

So he settles for an awkward laugh that rapidly disintegrates into a very unsure sort of chuckle.]

There's no easy way to ask why you're writing porn about a dog, is there?

voice;

[sealegs]

Oh come now, it's not porn yet. I think that's quite the accomplishment.

voice;

[miscreant]

You would get a lot farther sharing that in your own bedroom than here, I think.

[Perhaps predictably, Seviilia's voice is most unruffled. She found Gilneans -- werewolves, worgen, whatever this world called them -- insufferable.]

I would be careful sharing your bed with a worgen if that is your plan. You never know when the beast will win the war over the man.

voice;

[sealegs]

Oh? Are you volunteering, then?

voice.

[ex_longanimity327]

[ a moment of silence before there is the sound of clapping—it's slow and measured, and Izumo's face hurts from trying not to laugh, but by God, this is hilarious. ]

voice.

[sealegs]

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all evening. [A laugh.]

Voice

[wilder]

[He listens very intently! Hot sounding woman reading something like this? Oh hell yeah.]

I like it! There's gonna be more, right?

Voice

[sealegs]

[She'd be happy to whisper into your ear, Zelos dear.]

Oh, of course. I have a whole series planned.

audio.

[matre]

[ she makes a brief hmm sound of consideration. ]

There is room for improvement, but it does have great potential.

audio.

[sealegs]

Any suggestions? I thought it needed a stripping scene, but I wasn't too certain.

voice

[irritating]

Oooh, what a man. Y'sure all you did with 'im was spar?

voice

[sealegs]

Sure as the sky is blue, sweet thing. Believe me, I wish we'd done more, if you know what I mean.

voice

[hyanaimne]

My. [there's restrained laughter in her voice]

Will you be writing more and sharing it? Or simply teasing us with just this?

voice

[sealegs]

Oh, I wouldn't dream of leaving you all with a cliffhanger. Isabela delivers, you can count on that.

voice;

[hellosailor]

You've got quite the imagination there. [He doesn't bother to hide the amusement in his voice. He'd lived a long and full life, so the content didn't exactly shock him.]

I don't believe I've seen you around before, Isabella is it?

voice;

[sealegs]

That's me! And who might you be, sweet thing?

voice.

[lucency]

Do you mean dedicated to or inspired by?

[ not that belle is worried, either way. in fact, she sounds fairly amused. ]

voice.

[sealegs]

[a bark of laughter!] A bit of both. It's a bit of a suggestion for him as well, so to speak.

voice;

[tragicomedienne]

W-w-what the hell?!

[That is some amazing, shrieky, scandalized bluster.]

Why would you put something like this here? What is friend fiction supposed to be?

Is this about a real person?

voice;

[sealegs]

Friend fiction is exactly what you would think - stories about friends. Because you adore them so. [She laughs softly.]

Ren is indeed real- would you like to meet him?

Voice

[wolfuncaged]

[Oh Maker, they're BACK. Fenris makes an amused sound, all the same. She has a different victim for her story this time]

It is good to see you have found other subjects for your little...stories.

Voice

[sealegs]

[FOR NOW, Fenris. For now. Just wait until she starts her elven series.]

You should have seen him- and so shy, too!

Did you enjoy it?

Text

[vocalizer]

What Ren are you talking about exactly?????????????

[ Not that he can't already tell from the description and the comment about being a small pup, but... this has to be some kind of mistake, right? ..... RIGHT?! ]

[sealegs]

He's a big muscular man- usually in the shape of a small dog. Do you know him?

voice;

[permit]

[ there's just -- the longest pause.

... but eventually there's a chuckle, low and almost humoring. ]

I don't suppose you're sharing with the interest in a round robin.

voice;

[sealegs]

Ooh, a collaboration? That does sound interesting.

voice;

[charming_jerk]

[You can definitely hear amusement in this guy's voice.]

A smut novel in the works? I think that's gotta be a first over the network. "Friend fiction", huh.

voice;

[sealegs]

A first? Andraste's tits, it's a good thing I'm here to liven the place up. Maybe I'll branch out, pick out random names.

[thorny]

[THIS IS THE KIND OF SHIT SHE'S BEEN MISSING bless your heart Isabela.

Rose keeps to text though because she doesn't trust her voice to keep how much she's enjoyed the little snippet of hideous semi-erotica to herself]

I must say, your use of descriptive adjectives is quite impeccable. Oftentimes authors fall into the trap of attempting to show rather than tell without possessing the ability to do so.

[sealegs]

[Isabela is sadly not the most adept at typing, so she sticks with audio.]

I used to have a friend who'd help me along with all this writing business. I think this place could use a bit of spicing up, don't you agree?

voice;

[dayplanners]

[Friend-fiction... She can get behind that. It definitely sounds more fun than plain old fanfiction anyway.]

Hmmm, what happens next, what happens next? Is it written yet?

What does he do after he takes off his clothes? Is there someone else there? Ah! Does Ren have to go on a big adventure and look for them?!

voice

[unmasking]

Uh, do you often imagine dogs turning into strapping Gaston-like men? [Because he is a little creeped out.

No, he'll vocalize that, that's important.]

Because that's a little creepy.

video;

[fujibayashi]

You-- you wrote that?

[She's blushing a little. Someone hasn't read dirty romance novels before.]

voice

[skilful]

[ chuckling, then-- ]

What a wonderful story! A friend-fiction is a story about a friend, right? So your sparring partner is a puppy who can turn into a man?
