Story Updates

I’ve got to stop watching movies. I fell in love with The Lovely Bones and it gave me an idea for another fic, but I saw another author has the same idea, so I figure since I want to get done with Light of Liberty, Sanctioned by an Angel, and, Ascension from Darkness: Forgive and forget, I’d let them have it. Speaking of my stories, all of them are coming along nicely and since compared to the colossal chapters of LoL, writing SbaA is really going to be a piece of cake. I’m going to try to make it fit into one whole story instead of my three and four part patterns.

Also, I have a shout out even though this isn’t a shout out posting but I have to say this while the author’s on my mint.

The Edge of Darkness is hard to place because she only has one story and based on the publish date, she did drop it for a while and it will be the only story she ever publishes, but it’s a good story. It’s a take I’ve never seen. Over the Hills and Far Away is a fic detailing Anakin getting captured by Palpatine and held there for seven years before he escapes. The rest of the story is about him trying to make his way back to Padmé, Luke, and Leia. Don’t bother pestering her about updating. She’s a busy girl and has a life, but she updates frequently enough. She doesn’t seem to be a quitter so I doubt she’ll ever abandon it… It just might be a few years before she finishes it.

Dark Ahsoka Q&A Up

So Arc II of Light of Liberty is up and Ascension from Darkness is coming to a close so that means I might be able to fit in another story... Then again, LoL is a tasking project and though I'm never short of ideas, I still have to write it up so Sanctioned by an Angel might not be up until the end of the year (check out the sneak peak in one of my earlier post if you're curious). I've decided to kind of stick to Star Wars since I know it so well and it's easy to access any information I'm not positive about.

The Q&A is up for the Dark Ahsoka series but it's not complete. More is coming soon. But that's all. I just wanted to update everyone on what was going on.

Shout Out!

Well, I got a complaint from my sister who habits fanfiction.net and her complaint was being unable to find good Star wars stories. I did direct her to the C2's but other than separating favorite pairings and types of stories you have to sort through the stories like you have to do the regular archive unless you have a picky manager. So I decided to do shout outs the fic writers who have a lot of promise on this site.

GalaxyPink is an author who dabbles in the star wars genre and she has this great story going called Forbidden Love of the Jedi in which Padme was a jedi along with Anakin. I won't spoil the story, but let me just say I think it's not getting the recognition it deserves on the site. The drawback about her is that she's a slow updater, but when she updates, it's well worth the wait.

TheRealThing is practically famous on the site for his stories that usual feature Vader's redemption through his not so dead wife and Luke and Leia. Expect a happy ending, but don't assume how he'll do it. His fics share a common them though in that they are usually very long. So have a good time with those. He's got a story going now called Perspectives and it's a bit away from what he usually does being that it's written from the perspectives of all the Skywalkers interchangeably.

Darth Comrade is a star wars author who has written quite a few star wars fics, but the two I'm showcasing are his Ahsoka/Anakin ones called Council of Love and it's sequel Beacons of the Ancients. They're wonderful stories with a unique believable way of how Anakin and Ahsoka get together although it pushes it even for me, but it's a wonderful story.

So check these authors out. They're great writers for the most part and if they lack anything in style, they make up for it in plot and storyline.

Cover Art Contest!

Okay, so I was over on the force.net and I saw the covers some of the people had for their stories. Being that I can't draw, I started to wonder if anyone would do it for me. Here are the rules for the dark Ahsoka series!

1)Light of Liberty: Luke and Leia must be in the pic and it must somehow reflect what the story's about as well as the title. So that means some kind of light might be in it, or something else that reflects a significant scene in it.
Descending in Love: The cover must have Ahsoka and Anakin in it and can have any other people the person see as significant to a certain theme of part in the story. A certain theme must also be apparent.
Ascension in Darkness: Must have Darth Pesinoe and Anakin, in it and reflect the theme of the story.
Transition in Darkness: Must have Pesinoe and Leia in the cover and like the rest reflects theme of story.
Ascension from Darkness: This one I'm giving a little leeway since I'm not sure how many characters can fit on one cover. So do as you please.

2) Nothing vulgar. I know you guys aren't like that butit has to be said because one never knows...

3)Have fun with it! I want people to be creative. If it comes down to it and you need to completely disregard the requirements, email or pm me and do so. I'm a reasonable person and I know creative genius can't be confined so tell me if my criteria isn't working and I'll give you the freedom to free style it... In fact disregard those criteria (except for the vulgar one) and draw as you please. I know. I went through the trouble of going through criterias and took it back, but I can't restrict the artist.

So the winners are the ones whose covers I'll use when I submit the stories to theforce.net fanfic archive and I'll give them that cover art if they accept the story.

Sanctioned by an Angel

So this is going to be my next story... If I can ever get through Light of Liberty (I didn't know what I was getting into when I wrote that), but here's a little sneak peak of it I guess you could say. It's not much since I only have three chapters written, but I think it will do.

“Is her request really too much to ask?”

Vader glared at Ahsoka. “Don’t even start with your lectures. I’m not in the mood.”

“You’re never in the mood for anything,” Ahsoka replied dryly crossing her arms.

“Watch it. Don’t make me change my mind about not killing you,” Vader warned.

“Yeah, yeah Anakin,” Ahsoka said to him. “You wouldn’t kill me. I’m the only one you trust with Leia.

“Try me?” Vader warned pointing a finger at her. “And don’t call me that. That name no longer has any meaning to me.”

Ahsoka knew when to back down. Vader was prone to volatile mood swings and she preferred not to be on the receiving end of them. Instead she calmed down and looked at Vader again.

“Why do you insist on staying in that cheap excuse for life support of a suit. You could get your hands on much better prosthetics, where you wouldn’t have to wear that mask. Leia would enjoy being able to take you to town and show you around instead of being stuck in the house to spend time with you,” Ahsoka noted.

“We’re not discussing this again,” Vader said firmly.

“Why not?” Ahsoka asked.

“Can’t you ever do as you’re told?”

“Learned it from the master,” she said pointedly and then continued. “Besides, I don’t know what’s stopping you. You certainly have the money for it and it wouldn’t be that hard to do it under the emperor’s nose.”

“I don’t doubt it. But I have no time to waste things over such trivial matters. There are more important things I must attend to,” Vader replied.

Ahsoka rolled her eyes. “Excuses, excuses. You’re just punishing yourself for what you did to Padmé, punishing yourself because you can’t find Luke,” she said knowing she was crossing a dangerous line. When he didn’t lash out at her, she continued, “But you’re punishing your daughter now. Besides, Padmé wouldn’t want you to punish yourself like this.”

Ahsoka felt Vader’s annoyance through the force. There was a reason he avoided her when he was here. She always spoke hard truths to him whether he wanted to hear them or not and in turn, he irked her with his distance and properness.

Vader stood up. “I’ll take care of Leia for the remainder of the evening. You may take some time for yourself.”

Ahsoka stood up and glared at him. “I take care of Leia because I want to, not because I work for you.”

With that Ahsoka left leaving an exasperated Vader in her wake. He’d rather be commanding incompetent imperial officers than be around his former student to be honest. She always awoke a long buried side of him that he didn’t want to admit was still there because it proved that perhaps the power he now held wasn’t worth everything he had given up and lost. Leia did the same, but Leia was his daughter and she was allowed to do that. Ahsoka was an entirely different matter. 

So as you can kind of tell, it's not going to be a peaches and cream for Ahsoka and Vader (as he slowly but surely redeems himself... eventually). Anyway, I have a lot of great ideas for this story and I want you input on the matter and since there aren't any rules to the blog per say, you can pretty much say whatever you want.
