Have any of you guys read any good fan-fiction over the years and have any of them inspired your modding? My absolute favorite is Mass Effect 3: Fate of the Galaxy By: GhostWriter8. It basically is Mass Effect 3 with Miranda in it and a more realistic take on the technology and military jargon.

Of Sheep and Battle Chicken is my favourite. Mainly me1 and slightly out of canon. Written by a ex-soldier.

Quality fanfic is hard to find; there's a whole lot of bad fanfic out there that you have to search through to find something well-written. My favorite fic is The ThirtySix Stratagems of Wáng Jìngzé by Mussimm. Not only is she an excellent writer, but she understands how to craft and pace a story. There are some grammatical mistakes here and there, but for the most part, it's great. It's ME3 as it should have been, with a female Shepard who is almost identical to my canon Shep and Thane as the LI. For me, it has the entire package, and I've read it a few times now.
As alluded to above, I don't get through most fics due to the writing quality. The only fic that has influenced my modding was actually a study in drell linguistics by katiebour. It was using this non-fan-fiction that barddoc1992 and I created the names for the drell planets and system that will be added with TMv3.0. We then sort of replicated her work for the hanar, to come up with the names for the planets in the hanar system of Kanala.

I recommend Siege of Shanxi by Made Nightwing. The author has put out some good stories and the Siege of Shanxi is one of the best stories set in the ME Universe (in fact I would go so far to say that its far better than the 'official' ME tie-ins).

I've not read any fan fiction beyond ideas for mods/dlc and the stuff we have written for story mods. However, I found the Marauder Shields motion comic to be very interesting and well made: Sure, in places its not perfectly written, and its not exactly loreful, but something about the way it was produced struck a chord with me. I'd love to make something of that type, and add it to the game, but for something like my Virtual Alien story.

The Requiem is a pretty good one. I've also read some others where I know the author, they were good too.
I much prefer the book length ones. Much better world building.
