Yeah, I did a little researching there after my last post and saw that, but it also had a question mark after the citation, which puts the implication in doubt.

The handmaidens aren't clones programmed to obey without thinking, and Padmé's involvement with a man may very well have caused division among them. I'm sure they had things to say about her relationship with Anakin.
In these circumstances, I can see the handmaidens splitting in three groups:
a) Padmé's true friends, i.e. those who look out for her well-being first, and who aren't afraid to disagree with her if they think she's putting herself in danger;
b) Those to who friendship means agreeing with her and supporting her even if she's wrong;
and
c) Those who are jealous. 
In a fic, this is our chance to show that the handmaidens have individual personalities, and to assess the dynamics of each handmaiden's relationship with Padmé.
I also see a fourth option:
d) Jealous, yet still loyal even if it hurts.

There's a question mark on Jamillia's page, not on Apailana's, where the same information is repeated. But I too would like to know where they got those facts. I'll get back to you when I buy the Star Wars Visual Dictionary.
Alexis_Wingstar, that's a very likely option. I only said they're jealous, not that they act on their jealousy.

MotionWright: Ah, I just thought since the other two options were real friends and basically "yes-men", that you were talking about more open jealousy

RE: Warrior Queen, Gentle Lady - New Discussion

I've had this idea for a long time but I wanted to wait until after the Awards to re-vive the thread. Needless to say, I stole this idea from the Palpy thread. 
NEW DISCUSSION TOPIC!
Is there a Padmé story you would like to read but have never seen anyone post?
This could be either fanfic or profic or even something you wished was in the movies or the Clone Wars cartoons. Have fun!

I don't know if this has been done, but I'd love a story about Padme, living and raising the twins in hiding with help from Obi and Bale. They'd grow up to be Jedi and along with Padme join the Rebellion.

I would like to see more stories about Padmé's childhood. I find it surprising that there is so little in the EU about her life before she became queen, or about how she became queen. I'd like to see that explored both in pro and fan fic.

Sounds like we should put together a Padmé Stories Index to help readers find stories they may be looking for, but haven't found. I'll be willing to put it together if you would like.
EDIT: Whoops, wait a minute. I found the old index for Padmé Amidala, but that is locked. Should I start a new one?
EDIT 2: Of course we could always ask AngelQueen to unlock it. (although it does need some help in updating and such)

Funny you should say that, I'm actually working on a storyline similar to that which I will start posting near the end of this year or the beginning of next year.
I'm with MotionWright in wishing to read more about Padme's childhood.

Ooh, that's a nice one!! I'd love to see what you come up with, Alexis.

I'd love to see any EU novel focused on Padmé at all! What I'd particularly like to see in fan fiction are more stories of Padmé as Queen of the Naboo, before and after the Trade Federation invasion. I'd especially be interested in alternate reality stories where Padmé made different decisions as Queen, e.g. if she chose to be remain in office after her second term.

Probably best to ask her to unlock it and then help her update it, I think. I'm sure a lot of us will find an up-to-date index useful.

I would like to read a story about Padme refusing Anakin's proposal. I would like to read about him turning to the Dark Side for a different reason and doing all the horrible things and have her still around, I also want Anakin to have defeated Palpatine and not have been burned on Mustafar. I want him to be the Emperor, evil and ruthless...and than have her be the reason of his redemption. Sort of like a Beauty and the Beast story. I know I have seen some stories with this plot, but frankly I didn't bother reading because they were a) too mushy or b) badly written. I would like to see an author who writes dark fiction do this. Actually I would like it to also be an erotic story, so I guess it doesn't belong at the TFN.

Gina is writing a story with a very similar plot line. You can click on her bio and look for it. I think it's called "More than I Can Give."
She's a great writer, so anything of hers is bound to be great. I'm reading it myself and give it an A++!

I would love to see a well developed story where Padme survived after ROTS, whether she got up and left on Mustafar or survived the childbirth. What would she have done that would be true to the character Lucas created? How would she protect her children?
In the first two movies, she was this strong, brave woman who didn't run away from conflict and at the end of ROTS, she just gave up. Granted having the love of your life turn to the darkside and Force choke you unconscious would be devastating, but I really believe the Padme written in the first two movies would have survived that even without the twins.

Ooh, that sounds fascinating. I'll recommend Padlei's Shattered Glass. It's one of the best post-RotS Vader/Padmé stories have come across, with all major characters written very 3-dimensionally. The writer in question does a marvellous job of writing Padmé.
Thanks VaderLVR64. Here's the link, Minela : More Than I Can Give. (Actually, I think this story isn't exactly what she's looking for. It's a post-AotC/Clone Wars story, for one and Anakin isn't yet Vader. But it's still a very, very good read - Gina's stories invariably are and it's actually completed which is a plus! )

I think indiefic's Sins of the Father is a good attempt of that. It starts 16 years after the end of RotS with Padmé, who has been in exile on Tatooine all the se years, finally returning to Coruscant and her husband because Luke believes he can save his father.

WQGL's The Life and Times of Padmé Amidala is essentially Padme's biography and there are a lot of stories about her life there. Even better is a round robin and I know they are looking for writers to join.
Here are the young Padmé stories that were written as a response to past challenges and they can be found in the Before the Saga Challenge thread.

Last Days at home by MissPadme
Last Days at home by DarthIshtar
Twirrling by Knight-Ander

Note: Everyone else should please rec a story that you think fits the description of another person's search and if it doesn't, feel free to use that as plot bunny!

A placeholder while I go for the linkie ...
Don't know about any made while Padme was Queen, but this is a downloadable audio drama about an adventure Padme had before becoming Princess. The girl playing Padme is a dead-on Natalie soundalike.
