Hey boys and girls, I wanted to update you on the A/T article. It's still in progress, but the going is slow. I ended up in the emergency room with a broken foot last week, so I haven't felt like doing much except hobbling around my house and watching movies (SW and LotR anyone?).

Anyway, just know that things are still in the works. I'd love to get more feedback from a few others authors/readers, if anyone else has some time to post their thoughts. happy

Yes. I'm hoping to raise my already high Nerd rating by memorizing the lines from all three LotR expanded editions.

*looks around as everyone shakes their heads*

What?! worried

Gah! Sorry to hear about the foot, Lonewolf. But as far as nerddom goes - I say celebrate it. happy

When I was at high school I could do a pretty good rendition of a number of key episodes from Star Trek. Ah - nerddom. Gotta love it. wink

One idea for getting some more feedback is to PM the regulars - just put A/T magazine in the subject line. Give them a brief note on progress and then ask if they'd like to PM you their opinions on your question.

BTW - thanks for posting that note about your progress. I was going to PM you and ask - so won't have to now. happy

I'm finally free of Saga obligations so will be working on the magazine this weekend and next week.

You guys need anymore help? This old bird can help out some.

Don't know if I'll be able to do many fics but I can try.

Yay - Wild Phoenix. Long time no see. Yes - join in the fun. Have a think about what you'd like to help out with - reviewing, interviewing, writing short articles about any A/T related matter you see on other forums . . . As we get more magazine issues written, we'll probably think of new things to include.

Great to see you again.

Thanks Tahi. And I'll look it over and see what there is I can do.

What I really love about those two is well, because their relationship is normal. It's not screwed up or marred like a lot of the other relationships of the second generation of characters from the movies. They work well together and balance each other well. Plus they're just so darn cute together. I should start reading Tahi's stuff again. wink I just loved how you wrote them. Just got side tracked. wink

I agree totally with you, Jaya, about them being NORMAL. And yes - such a welcome relief! I think that's why a lot of us feel comfortable writing them actually because we can relate to them. happy And yes - they are definitely cute. [Tahi goes all soft and silly.]

And yes - there'll be a warm welcome for you if you do get time to pick up MHR or Oasis again, or Beginnings. But I know what it's like. I've been so busy with DRL and Saga Awards and my new job and my granddaughter that I've been a very slow poster, so you probably haven't missed much at all. LOL And I'm way behind on all my favourite authors, too. sad I'm hoping to be able to afford broadband soon, so I can get on-line more often. As it is, with the old dial-up, we all have to take turns, and I always seem to miss out.

Wild_Phoenix
That would be great if you could join in. Although it may look as though there are a good sized group for each section - it's always the case that people are busy, or can't get on-line etc. So just sign up for the things you'd like to do, and I'm sure there'll be work for you.

After we get Issue one out we'll have a clearer picture of how much time it takes, and also how to improve. happy

For issue one - more fic reviews would be gratefully received, if that's any help. happy We're okay with interviews and reports on what's going on in Lit and RPG. However - if you want to contribute something we haven't thought of - then let your creative streak produce whatever tickles its fancy. grin

Okay...just send me a list of the fics you want reviewed and I'll get a cracking.

As the headquarters for Anakin Solo discussion, I was wondering if anyone could point me to a place in the EU where they explain why Mara took Anakin as her apprentice? I've been thinking about it recently, and it seems like an odd pair to combine. Do the writers ever really address the whys behind it?

Anakin Solo was never Mara's apprentice. Jaina was. They just ended up together a lot by circumstances, and have a pretty interesting dynamic, IMO happy

I just know that there's a well known forest critter lurking about with a comment to make about the Marak... *clears throat* Mara and Anakin dynamic. tongue
