Original (Fan) Fiction
based on "Star Wars"
Obviously, this owes a great deal (understatement of the
century candidate) to George Lucas, and to Michael Stackpole's "X-Wings" and
Kevin J. Anderson's "Jedi Academy" series of novels.

Version 1.0
This is the first pass. Eventually, I stopped writing on it... why? I wasn't sure.
Then a friend told me:
At some point, I'm not sure where, I started getting
annoyed and grumbling... but still reading. It wasn't
until I was starting the last story I read,
Conversions, that I figured out why, ... to tell the honest truth, I think you would do
much better to utterly blow off so-called canon and go
your own way. Part of what was bugging me is that you
were matching up so well to what other people wrote.
Assumption on my part, of course, since I haven't read
most of the novels. But on some level, it was coming
across that you were having to rearrange things to
suit canon, you know what I'm saying? I think what you
wrote was good, but if you ever decide to do an AU,
instead of a series of glorified missing scenes from
canon, I'd *really* like to read it.
You know what? Bingo. In the gold. On the money.
That's why I stopped. I was forcing my story into someone
else's plot and characterizations (actually ... lots of peoples')
and it was getting harder. So...
This is it. There ain't gonna be no more. I'm not taking it down,
some of this I really like, and I won't be able to use it. Nearly
everything after "Returned", in fact ... not in toto, but pretty
close.
If you're interested, the new, AU version will be here:
Alternate SW Page
If you're not, enjoy what's here. It's good stuff, I think...
if I do say so myself.
Generic warning: there's a war on. People die. Angst, implied sex, hurt/comfort, drinking,
grown-up talk... anything more than PG13 is noted on the story link (hardly any).
