#fuckyeahbioware

Hi everyone,

Two friends and I (Annakie) started this blog way back in 2011. They moved on from Tumblr a year or two after, but I never did.

Except for about a half-year-long hiatus around 2017, this blog has been reblogging the best stuff I could find related to all Bioware games (and occasionally sequels to those games made by Obsidian) ever since.

For the last year or so it's been coasting, the queue was down to once a day and I haven't been adding much in.

About a week ago, the queue ran out. I didn't notice because I've been without power and haven't been on tumblr, but now I'm back, but I'm sorry to say, the blog is not.

I haven't had the time or passion to go searching out content anymore.

So, if there's anyone out there who would like a moderation role in this blog, would agree to keep the content quality high and the blog generally impersonal, let me know. By impersonal I mean not promoting your own work above others, making sure characters/games that are not your faves get an equal amount of coverage, not participating in fandom drama on this blog, not making posts with any financial interest, etc.

Otherwise, the blog will be going dormant for the time being. Someday, maybe with the release of DA4 / ME5 I'll bring it back around. But maybe not.

Hey, thanks! That's really kind of you to say!

As another someone who's favorite character in anything of all time is one who gets a lot of hate, I very much agree. It is exhausting, especially when you see the same flippant comments over and over for the past... what.. sixteen years? Or more?

We all have our faves, the ones we're meh about, the ones we don't like. And like you said, that's fine! But I like it a lot more when fandom is about "I'm here to lift up what I love and not tear others down about what I hate." (Obviously this is about preference and not saying you can't talk about problematic content.)

It’s been several months since we had a mod post, so it's probably time to post one!

First, we've updated our links page with suggestions of other active Bioware-related blogs to follow.  This is by no means an exhaustive list of excellent Bioware blogs, just a few favorites some of us happen to follow.

If you think we've missed a great blog, submit a link and we'll evaluate it, we'd like to make the list even bigger!  A few caveats 1) No confession blogs unless they are positive-only confessions 2) no personal blogs, they must be 100% Bioware-focused and 3) Generally they must be SFW.

A quick reminder that we also don't usually publish asks unless we feel that it's something that the a large portion of the community would be interested in.  You may instead be contacted by whichever mod gets to the ask directly.

Also if you ever hear of some big important Bioware-related news that we somehow managed not to post, always feel free to send us an ask and point us in the right direction (or submit a news story with relevant links and information.)  It’s sometimes easy to miss something important since most of us mods have jobs, have kids, and are in vastly different time zones.

We are continuing to make sure anything DA3 related is going to be tagged as DA3 or Inquisition or Dragon Age Inquisition, so please make sure your TS/Blacklist is up to date if you don’t want DA3 news.  Anything spoilery will be tagged as DA3 spoilers.  We will strive to label anything DA3 spoilery as spoilers at least a few weeks after DA3 is released, we'll make more announcements as we get closer to the release date. If you DO want spoilers, we recommend the blog dragonaging for up-to-date information on DA3.

We will also be tagging everything Shadow Realms related with Shadow Realms, and the new Mass Effect, for now, with Mass Effect 4 or ME4.

Also, while typically we only tag things with the game of the game the post is from, we do keep track of posts with mods by tagging them mods, if you'd like to browse some mods for various games.

There are now almost 5750 of you following the blog, and that is huge for us!  We want to thank all of you for following!  We always strive to showcase some of the best Bioware related stuff on tumblr, and hope to continue to make FYB a blog you enjoy!

Keelah se’lai!
