Everything that’s been going on lately with the criticism against Bioware’s writers, and in particular Jennifer Hepler, has made me feel pretty shitty. I met a bunch of them last week, and they’re amazing people. People like you and me. People trying to do what they love. And they’re getting treated horribly. It’s made me ashamed to be a gamer.
So I want to send them some love. Whether its art, or letters of praise, or why we love them as a writer, as a designer etc., I want to collect it and I’ll send a care package to Bioware Edmonton (or elsewhere if I need to track other writer’s down hehe). Praise matters, and I think they could all use some right now - so they KNOW how much we love them. Be specific, think of who/what they wrote and what you love about it. Whether it’s ME, DA, or SWTOR - or otherwise!
I’ve created an email address: ilubioware@gmail.com where you can send things, or contact me for further info, so I can weed out possible wank that comes my way. If I get a lot of feedback, I’ll post again with a deadline.Please share this if you know people who would like to contribute, and don’t hesitate in contacting me if you have questions or ideas. I just need to do something, because Bioware has given me so much happiness with their games - and most importantly, with their stories - and it hurts me to see them treated this way. If nothing else, I’ll be writing my own things.
As a writer, I’d love to get involved with this. I really don’t think enough people realise how scary it is to put your...
Spread the word. This is a really great idea.
Sending a huge shout-out to the writers at Bioware. You guys do a fantastic job; don’t listen to the vocal minority!
Reminder to myself and info for others!
