I love that Gale is completely self aware that his own hubris and curiosity fucked up his life. But then he sees yet another questionably cursed book in a long dead temple and he wiggles his fingers while saying, "Ooh! Let's be naughty. Don't mind if I do!" as if he's just ordered a dessert with brunch.
BG3 Fic Review Guidelines - let us know what you think!
Hi everyone,
We've finally settled on some fic review guidelines we'd like to implement here, but we would like to share them with the community and get your feedback. It's important to us that we support our fellow writers in a collaborative space. The best way to do that is to hear your thoughts and incorporate them into our plans and strategies.
Once we have finalised our review guidelines, we plan to open up our doors to bring more reviewers on board and really get going properly. We may do this either by creating a Discord server for the team or simply allowing reviewers to submit their work to the blog directly. Regardless, our fanfic community is important to us and we want to do our best to help build a supportive, inspiring and creative environment.
But! without further ado, here are the BG3 Fic Review Guidelines as they currently are, listed below the fold. Please feel free to reply on this post, send us an ask, or email me (Aivu) directly should you have any comments or questions. My email address is aivuthedragon[at]gmail[dot]com.
Happy writing!

BG3 Fic Reviews, Editor
The BG3FicReviews review guidelines (WIP)
Please note these guidelines are a work in progress, and we may update them as we go depending on questions that arise in the community and among our team members. That said, the goals behind the BG3FicReviews blog will remain largely unchanged, and represent our underlying philosophy as a team. Weāll start there.
What are the goals of the BG3FicReviews blog and its team?
At the moment, we have four main overarching goals:Ā
Help foster a kind and supportive community for fanfic writers in the BG3 fandom that helps to uplift them/us and their/our work;Ā
Provide a useful resource for fanfic writers (in the BG3 fandom and more generally);Ā Ā
Provide a helpful guide for fanfic readers on some of the best, most interesting and most innovative BG3 fanfic currently being published; and
Create a safe space for writers to explore topics of various kinds while also supporting proactive and inclusive tagging.
With these four goals in mind, our objective is not and will never be to unduly criticise an author or write negative reviews. Fanfic authors write for free and because they love to write and share their words with the world. We donāt believe in stifling that passion with negativity. We want to uplift writers and support them to continue doing what they love.Ā
Review submission guidelines
Here we have some broad questions to help guide a reviewer when reading a given work, as well as what could be included in a review. These are the kinds of questions I (Aivu) ask myself when I write my reviews.Ā
What are some of the dominant themes of this work?
What is unique about this work? Has a trope been approached in a fresh, innovative way? Or perhaps itās a very good example of a well-used trope?
Feel free to be creative in your review - just as authors develop their own voice in their writing, you are free to build and develop yours. (Just please keep in mind the four goals of the BG3FicReviews blog when you do.)
Did you have any āaha!ā or āwow!ā moments when reading this fic? (Note: please be mindful of spoilers, and try to explain such moments in a way that doesnāt spoil the work for potential readers.)
How did you feel while and after reading this work? Did it evoke any particular feelings for you?
Please include a brief list of the most important tags when submitting your review - it will help our readers skip over a review of a fic that might not be to their particular tastes (which is absolutely fine).
Please be aware that we do reserve the right to edit reviews to be in line with our standards and the formatting we use for the blog, but we will provide feedback as much as we can and discuss any revisions with the author of a given review.
What are our future plans for the BG3FicReview blog?
In order to provide more hands-on support to writers, we are currently considering starting a strictly opt-in beta reading programme for fanfic authors. We donāt have a big enough team for this at the moment, but the idea would be that authors submit their work to be beta-read and can ask for help in particular areas of their writing (or their writing generally) to help them feel more confident in their work and with sharing it. Our team is too small at the moment to manage something like this, but as a long-term goal itās something really important to us.
We are also considering opening a writing and fic review focused Discord, but that really depends on how much interest there is in such a space as there are many excellent BG3-focused writing Discords out there already.
We are always open to suggestions from the fanfiction writer (and reader) community about what kind of support and tools could be helpful and useful. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to send us an ask or an email and let us know!
āLook at me. I want you to watch you come on my fingers/cock/strap.āĀ
Watching in awe as your partner slides their finger into their mouth with your cum on it.Ā
āYeah?ā They say with a hint of teasing to their tone, āAnd what if I do this?ā They say, changing their rhythm slightly and hitting your weak spot.
Toying with a piece of clothing, whether that be the collar of your shirt, slowly undoing your belt, sliding a finger under the waistband of your underwear before letting it snap back against your skin.(The last one ahhhh)Ā
Kissing down every inch of your body they possibly can, showing you how much they love you.Ā
^ Have them murmuring against your skin how beautiful/handsome you areĀ
āTell me to stop and we stop. I donāt care whatās happening. All I care about is you.āĀ
Sighing softly at the shell of your ear so you can hear how much you affect them.Ā
āBehave, I wouldnāt want to have to punish you now.āĀ
Ā āCanāt you handle it, baby?ā āI can-fuck, I can handle it.āĀ
āIf you want something, you have to use your words.āĀ
Ā āCount them for me.āĀ
Ā Scraping their teeth over your neck to have a shiver of arousal run down your spine.Ā
āI bet they canāt fuck you like I can.āĀ Ā
Ā Wrapping their fingers around your wrist and guiding you to where they desperately need you.Ā
āRemember whoās in charge here baby, Iād choose your next words carefully.āĀ
Ā āAct like a brat and Iāll treat you like a brat.āĀ
āIām sorry, what was that? I couldnāt hear you over all the noise you were making.ā (Someone write an enemies with benefits to this I beg)Ā
Ā āDonāt be shy baby, I love the way you moan my name.ā
Gale feels like the type that would pine across the room and however much he tries, he can't keep his eyes off Tav. He knows he must look like he's undressing them with his eyes, knows that if he continues to bottle up his true affections he'll burst. He wants to remain a gentleman. Wants to remain dignified and composed. But the blush on the Tav's cheeks, their articulate hands, their smile, the laughter, the light in those eyes, their intoxicating voice. He's so in love and so ready to burst. It's almost like he has two bombs in his chest. The question is which will detonate first?
YES anon, you understand the LONGING.
Gale Dekarios has never ever done anything in his life by halves, he is all in, or he's all out. He's INTENSE to say the least, and there is no part of him, no feeling he can feel, or thought he can think that can be separated from loving Tav. We love a horny moment here at gale dash dekarios dot tumblr dot com, HOWEVER, being loved by Gale is as complete as a circle, and he knows it.
Dadstarion has me in a chokehold and the way you draw him being so GENTLE with Kit is so precious, I would die to see the transition from his new parent terror to how comfortable he eventually gets with him :O
I'm obsessed with how Astation regresses once you enter Baulders Gate.
Specifically, when Tav says "I just want you to be happy." And he basically says "Ah! and letting me trick and kill my fellow spawn would make me so, so happy. You said you wanted me to be happy right? You want this to happen too. This is really for us, you want what's best for us, surly." Its sooo good. I was honestly surprised and very disappointed in him in that scene, but it made so much sense and I love it.
Hes flailing, and terrified and that's when hes his worst self. When hes scared hes ruthless, selfish, mean and manipulative. "I'm not soft, cuddly Astarion! I'm scared! I do bad things! This is how I've made it so far!" Hes back to trying to play you like a fiddle, but Tav can see through it so easily and understand him much better.
