Any writting tips for a TiTs and Mass Effect crossover fic.

[firestarter09]

So, I'm writing a Mass Effect and TiTs fic, if the title didn't give it away. As to why I'm doing it, well, got bored a few years back and well, when I was shit at writing it kind of popped in. Ignoring all that, I'm kind of curious if there are certain things to keep in mind when writing this fic. Like designs of ships, how tech measures up and what not.

Side note, I'm aware of the changes to the incest scenes and what, but I don't really give a fuck... So, the fic will contain it.. Fucking rules suck... xp.

The incest changes are just Fen and Co bowing to patreon who are bowing to the credit card companies who hate porn because it's immoral and/or bad for business because of chargebacks. It's got nothing to do with the creative/moral choices of the writers.

Also I'm fairly certain TiTS shits all over ME in general tech stuff. If only because they have functional energy weapons. Also i think they got bigger ships as far as ships that aren't just basically space trucks/boats for some fuckhead and a handful of their fuckhead friends.

You're probably best off just shoving ME races into TiTS.

Well, the Reapers have functional energy weapons. However everyone else in the ME universe rely heavily on kinetic weaponry.

Ah, well, I mean I could do that, but my plot involves reincarnation and what not. Ie ends with threes destroy ending but something went wrong, and restart


Fuck did I dig myself into a corner.

On the flipside, biotics are fairly wide-spread and clearly categorized psychic abilities already available (unlike whatever we'll get with TiTS). And ship sizes don't really mean anything when the ships in question are just, well....luxury cruisers. 99% of the ships we saw in ME 1-3 are military vessels and corporate crafts. The other 1% tend to be Reapers (who're both stupidly big AND can do things normal ships can't. Like turning in a way that would rip any other ship clean apart).

So on that note, you could interpret TiTS as "Humanoid species start their weirdly sexual space empire with Reaper tech from the getgo" without having it be too much of a stretch, if you really want to make it happen.

I think one of my biggest issues is politics, I've played for hours... Yet, I barely understand how the U.G.C works.

Not even the UGC does. It's a loose alliance of planets with some common rules they enforce whenever they feel like.

 

[firestarter09]

Hmmm, well I'll probably have to change that.

Good thing I have political character in mind.

Besides that, how should I go about species interactions? I mean, how should they react to the... Sexualness of TiT.

Mordin would probably start writing guides on how to safely have sex with all the races in TiTs in case so when Shep wants to have sex with them he has pamphlets to give out.

I can't argue with that, but I should mean in a more broader sense. Like what laws would be passed in citadel space and so forth

The Asari would definitely like it.

I don't see the Asari liking it too much.. Well except maidens.

So kinda like space European Union then?

The Krogan would probably prefer the Zil over any other species (fighting to establish who is in charge)

So where are you going to post it? I would love to read it.

Archive of our own and maybe FFn again.

I once tried to post one, eh version of it when I was shit at the writting... Didn't go well.

Thank you, will you have the same username?

Typical... Yes, at least some variation of it. You'll know when you see it. Though I don't recommend reading the old version of this idea (if its still up(still trying to rewrite and work on a lot of my ideas) )but yeah should be Firestarter09

I'll throw my two cents in. I'd definitely posit that the ME:U is actually fairly far behind in technological terms when compared to TiTs. TiTs is rampant with holotech where as ME only really has a select few things such as the omnitool and the galactic map. weapons in ME all rely on the same principle of the mass relay gates, so you've basically have nothing but gauss type weapons and possibly even still normal propellent projectile weapons, while TiTs has a plethora of proliferated weapons technology up to and include plasma, laser, and gauss type weapons. Biotics have advanced highly in TiTs as the power has increased while size has decreased the chip we pull from that milodian chap is roughly the size of a postage stamp or large SD card, while in ME biotic amps are still as large if not larger than current computer chips and first generation amps actually work better than new generations. Ship technology is where it gets weird as some ship tech in ME is right at or Surpassed what we've seen in TiTs while having parts that have fallen behind, in TiTs we're able to travel at close to light speed while in ME it's fast but nowhere near that fast, but cloaking and stealth capabilities in ME are right at TiT's level.

i'll comment more when i'm off work.

now that i'm off i'll wax a little bit more eloquent. Firstly you'll need to figure which one is being put into which, is it TiTs with ME elements or is it ME with TiTs elements? That will be your ultimate decision. secondly you'll need to decide the genre for the fiction, it'll be sci-fi and lewd as a given, but will it be action adventure, mystery, romance, comedy, or tragedy?

Best tip i've gotten for writing is this; make an outline, write an overall synopsis, give a premise for each chapter, make a list of characters and important figures with a short summary of each for quick reference. I know you've said that you've had trouble in the past writing and i've found that structuring really helps, and if you've hit a patch that you feel is a bit sparse, like a chapter where character exposition is the bulk of the content but somehow feels empty or short, i've found it's good to describe the character reactions in detail.

Oh, something I remembered a few moments ago is super important! I don't believe it's ever specified for other species, but the human government strictly forbids humans modifying themselves to be "less human", so those dog dicks are straight up illegal. You can imagine what I was doing that jogged my memory of this...

Were you hounded by what you found? Or did you doggedly pursue the memory that was eluding you?

First of all thank you for your answers, second it could be that the ME galaxy was only found either very recently in the last galactic rush, or it could have been found 2 or 3 back and allowed plenty of time for hostilities and the subsequent peace and integration of technology and culture. The only major conundrums I see that are super glaring is how there would be 2 different earths and how to explain humans being in 2 different galaxies and how they named their planets the same name.

Dude, do the usual everyone does when making crossovers. "Hey! what's that strange tear in time and space? Oh shit! it's another parallel universe." Problem solved.

A tried and true method, and a viable one too. Another way of doing it would be to follow the legend of the shield hero's plot somewhat, meaning the two "worlds" merging together.
