Where To Begin?

Where to begin?

Fortune's Rule. It's an appropriate title in more ways than one.

Two years ago, I would have laughed myself silly at the very notion that I might ever write a Star Wars fanfic.  Or maybe just looked askance at whoever had made such an appalling suggestion.  Then I saw Clone Wars.  And now, almost seventy thousand words later, I've finally achieved a secret wish of over ten years' duration—to write a novel's worth of continuous story.  (A novel's worth, not a novel, because ye gods, this thing is far from complete!)

It's really weird.

Anyway, before I start posting about writing and anything else that strikes my fancy, I just wanted to say thank you ever so much!! to all the AO3 users who have read/kudo'd/commented on/subscribed to/bookmarked this pet project of mine, as well as to my brother and my mom/moral support/editor/typo sieve.  Fortune's Rule is by far the longest, most detailed, most in-depth story I have ever written, and there's no way in the world that it would have come this far without all of you! So, thank you!!!

Hope you are taking care! Eagerly awaiting your next chapter!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️

Hi! Sorry! Work/life in general have been keeping me busy lately, but the next chapter is almost done (hoping to have it out tonight or tomorrow) :)

Thanks for your message; it's helped to motivate me to keep chipping away when the chapter is being stubborn! 💛💛💛

Whispers From Tomorrow

If you value anything you see around you, any of your brethren, if you love your padawan as I know you do—tell him.

The ghost of Ben Kenobi sees fit to meddle in the past, and Obi-Wan, about to leave for Utapau to face Grievous, suddenly feels a strange certainty that all is not well with his former padawan.  Conversations ensue, secrets come to light, and his relationship with Anakin will never be the same.  But that might just be a very good thing, indeed.

Inspired By A "redraw This As Your Ship" Screenshot I Saw On Pinterest, And While I Wouldn't Exactly

Inspired by a "redraw this as your ship" screenshot I saw on Pinterest, and while I wouldn't exactly call this my ship, I thought it would make for a fun, dramatic scene!

Lovely hilarious thought for later, once Vader learns the Leia thing and gets his the rule of two is stupid actually he will be like, I know! Star Killer can marry my daughter, this works out well yes. This clearly solves all of my problems. Once he admits to himself he wants all of his fam on his side dark side like Ahsoka ill make you the Super Sith Princess? give you a pile of gold to Dragon Horde and other lovelies and the rest. be hilarious all the temp to Dark pretty Please?

Hey, sorry I missed this somehow!

Lol, this would be funny to see, Vader trying to just straight up start a Sith Dynasty and dragging in the entire fam! I wonder if Padmé would very grudgingly go along with it just because someone has to try to keep the chaos to a minimum. She would, of course, end up being part of the chaos.

Awakening | AO3

Once, he had a blazing furnace heart. It has lain cold for many years, filled only with a burning frost. Once, a dead-star dragon dwelt within the furnace. It has slept these many years, and he has existed in its still, inky shadow.

No longer. The dragon stirs, awakened by the cries of the two apprentices. All things must die, but these are his apprentices, and they must live. A spark floats up from somewhere deep within. The dragon coils and hisses. The spark catches. The furnace ignites.

This is how the Emperor falls.

Aka, the one where Ahsoka and Starkiller stage an intervention.

Hope you get to post next chapter of fortune Rules soon after your move!

Me too! This chapter is taking so much longer than I expected! It's a bit of double whammy, because this one wasn't at all planned out in advance. After last chapter, I realised I needed to include a few things as transitions/setup for later events, so I'm having to write this one out of nowhere, while dealing with all the moving stuff. Can't wait to be done with all the chaos, can't wait to hopefully get back to writing and posting on a more regular schedule, especially as we're on the cusp of more interesting things starting to happen.

I've been trying to wrestle out some more of the current chapter this evening, actually, and your comments have been a nice bit of encouragement, so thank you! 💛😊

A hodgepodge of things relating to Fortune's Rule, my Star Wars fix-it fic: behind-the-scenes-type writing stuff, maybe some sneak-peekish bits, art that may or may not make it into the story, and thoughts and questions about the SW universe.  Plus, probably, some memes and other random stuff as well!
