Three posts that didn't get crossposted

I am still frustratingly blah and stupid after Worldcon (I knew it would take longer than I expected to get back up to my usual level of crapness, and yet it still has) and thus not answering mail and screwing things up(*). (Original title of this post: "Three posts that didn")

So! My attempts to make a sticky post having screwed up my ability to crosspost for a while, three posts that didn't get crossposted to livejournal when I made them:
Non spoilery thoughts near the end of Mass Effect
Spoilery thoughts on Mass Effect
Things I like in creative works

Speaking of which, I have a bunch of dreamwidth invites if anyone's interested, it's not usually this much of a pain, honest :) Plus one AO3 invite.

And so there's some new content for the dreamwidth folks: am playing Mass Effect 2, it's awesome, but now I'm wondering if I want to go back and redo ME1 to get a more complete and integrated backstory. Bioware is totally my master now.

(*)I decided to take my mind off needing to deal with my email and making a doctors appointment by playing Mass Effect 2...and in game got an email from the ship's doctor telling me to go see her about my health.
