Okay, I'll bite, because I'm sure everyone else wants to know too.

Did you write this? Or are you just pasting it in from somewhere else?

I never saw anything like that at somewhere else, but with all the modding going on there, who knows?

Hate fanfics.

It's mine. I haven't worked on it in quite a while. I have it posted at two other web sites under the username "Rogue Jedi", I copied and pasted it from one of those sites.

Why, no good?

Man, this is just the perfect moment for the Geekery Star Wars Meme (OMFGLOLetc.)

But before I indulge myself with that...

Actually, I think it's quite good. Some real writing went into that.

But fanfic is a trap (get it? IT'S A TRAP!). The main audience for Star Wars fiction is on Star Wars fanfic sites, where you get lost in the crowd. It's even tougher to become part of canon -- probably easier to get on the Supreme Court. But outside of Star Wars sites, it's hard to find someone who's interested in the expanded SW universe.

Nonetheless, I enjoyed reading it, and will enjoy reading future installments. And I must say, if you apply your skill to a more universal subject, you'll dramatically expand your readership. But you already know that about yourself.

And now, The Meme:

Thanks, and LOL yeah, I am a bit more into SW than I should be. Just posted more to the story in it's thread. I'm fine tuning it as I go, that's why I am not posting the whole thing, just bits and pieces at a time.

I'm not one of these guys who thinks everyone will like my writing, so I appreciate brute honesty when it is critiqued. I have another one going on another web site, non SW related, I am pondering whether or not to post it here.
