Post:
I completed (last year) a novel exploring the likely rational aftermath of the only ending to the Mass Effect 3 video game which permitted the protagonist a future.
Partly this was to tick off an item ("Novel") on my bucket list, partly a reaction to the lack of closure, mostly because I felt that the scientific accuracy of opinions on the game was lamentable.
It was posted on Fanfiction.net. A short time ago I heard about Reddit from my (scientist) daughter. The fanfic in question probably should have been posted on Reddit's /r/rational.
While extremely computer literate, I'm yet a complete stranger to social media, including Reddit, so am asking for assistance in posting this story where it might be appreciated - for whatever it's worth:
Relevant details:
- The title is "After Dark".

Fanfiction.net is a good place to post fan fiction. Just post a link to your story wherever you want to promote. (e.g. here or on wherever mass effect fans are)

You take the link where you put it up on the internet, and you post that link to this subreddit by clicking "Submit a new link".

Thank you, done. I've edited the post to include a link, expanded on that in a post below, and "submitted" a link as suggested. That would appear to cover all the bases.

You've come to the right place :) Just edit your post to include a link (or the title, or other identifying information), or post a link in a comment, and our hundreds - nay - dozens of regulars would love to check it out.

Thanks, folks. Posting relevant details:
- The title is "After Dark".
- Link to the story: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9847401/1/After-Dark Warning: it runs to some 200,000 words, being a true novel rather than a novella. There are 111 chapters, in seven story arcs, though I couldn't see how to use subdivisions like that on FF.net. The first arc explores the events around the end-game from the point of view of people running around without a full picture of tevents. So the story starts slowly.

Will I understand it, never having played the game, but only having heard of it?

I should hope so. The necessary background information was included in the text; that's why it's novel-length.
