Hey all, we could really use some pictures of Jaina and Jag, together or apart, for the Index. The plan is to update the Index on October 1st (if Nat can get on for 5 minutes) and we would really like some. Please send anything in to the sock or to BigFatty.

Also, we're looking for a slogan for the Index. For example, the J/K Index has 'Rogue and Goddess' and the J/Z Index has 'First Love, Last Love.' Something like that which applies to J/J. Just send in any suggestions by PM.

Ooh, I like these suggestions so far! grin One (alright, two) suggestions: for the third, maybe just make it "Evasive Maneuvers" or "X-Wing and Clawcraft", and for the fifth, I happen to like the idea of "Behind the Conference Room Door" (by itself, since I assume you'll be saying Jaina/Jag Index with it anyway tongue ). Too many words, and you won't be able to fit everything into the title wink

But beyond that, I think my favorite is "Behind the Conference Room" grin kiss

Welcome to the October 2005 Newsletter!! This is the first one I’ve done, so please be nice happy






First on our list, we have some new stories to add to the Index!

Jacen has grown more distant, less emotional, and he follows a obscure and higher purpose. Jaina has grown more willful and has masked her emotional vulnerability with the hardened cloak of battle. To compound matters, tensions in the galaxy reach unimaginable proportions. Now in opposite sides of the galaxy, Tenel Ka and Jag Fel ask themselves the same question - is the pain caused by a Solo worth love? The answers they find are not happy ones.

  • Trickster and Twin Suns Three

  • Evasive Maneuvers

  • The Taming of the Goddess

  • Behind the Conference Room Door

  • Fire and Ice

  • Twin Stars

  • Simply the Best

  • The Rebel and Mr. Perfect

  • Rebel Hearts

  • X-Wing and Clawcraft


If you would like to submit a slogan, please PM the Jaina_Jag_Index






We have some announcements!!

  • We like to keep the Index up-to-date. If you have a story in the Index that has updated information (i.e., if your story goes from ‘WIP’ to ‘Completed’), please send us the updated information.

  • We are in desperate need of pictures! If you have any of Jaina and Jag, together or apart, please send them in.

  • If you would like to send in a slogan, please to so by October 15. We will compile them, and have you vote. Your votes must be in by October 31.

  • We need some new authors to interview. If you have any authors you would like to see interviewed, please PM TKeira_Lea

  • We would like suggestions for challenges. If you have ideas, please PM TKeira_Lea

  • There are very few reviews in the Index, and we would like more. Since many stories are very long, it takes the reviewers time to read and review. If you would like to become a reviewer, please PM the Index. Also, for current reviewers, we would like you to check in with us so that we know you’re still reviewing.

  • We would like some J/J quotes and tidbits. If you have any, please PM TKeira_Lea

  • We are planning on using buttons in the Index. If you would like to make some, send them to us by PM.

  • Last but not least, the reviewers would like stories to review! If you want your story reviewed for the Index, please contact either NYCitygurl, Shinar, DCWiz00, or Chimpo_the_Sith.







We have a new challenge!!

October Challenge

Using the backdrop of the Dark Nest Trilogy (either TJK or TUQ) write a missing scene from Jag's POV. You must include mention of Jaina, BUT you can't use her name more than one time. (Yeah, have fun with that ) Word limit is 2,500 words maximum. The challenge will start on October 1st and end on October 16th at midnight board time. All entries must be posted in the challenge thread to be judged.

Anyone interested in judging needs to contact TKeira_Lea.

Stories will be judged on the following merits:
  • Adherence to the rules as stated, including how inventive the lack of the word Jaina is applied to the story

  • Originality

  • Spelling/Grammar

  • Characterization

  • Overall effect







  • And we have a review!

    Author: AERYN_SUN
    Title: I’d Miss You Still
    Summary: The long awaited return of Jaina Solo and her daughter, Cherith Solo Fel, Jag's teenage daughter. After Jaina learns of Jag's brief affair with Celeste, she decides to start over with Jag but will she learn to love him again?
    Review: I liked the way this tied up the suspense at the end. It was very organized, and fun to read. I liked reading Jaina’s feelings as she came back to the living, with the help of her ‘guardian angel’. I loved the romance on Naboo, and I’m glad Kyp finally got the girl. Cherith Fel is very amusing, and I want to see where her relationship with Valin Horn is going. I especially liked the surprise Jaina found at the Lake Retreat.
    Reviewer: NYCitygurl

    Remember, if you would like to have your story reviewed, please contact one of the reviewers.






    Next we have an interview with the lovely Jaina_and_Jag!!

    What drew you to Star Wars?

    I've liked Star Wars all my life, but until 2001, I'd never gotten into it a lot. After Attack of the Clones came out I just had to have more. I was searching my local libraries for Star Wars books and when I'd gone through all of those, I sent my mother to a library that was farther away and continued to read. Now I buy the books and haven't looked back.

    Do you remember the first time you decided to write a fanfic? What was it about?
    Oh gosh. That was a very long time ago. I guess it was right after I first read The Courtship of Princess Leia. I needed to have more Han and Leia, but my mom couldn't go to the library so I just sat down and started writing. It was set right after Han and Leia's wedding and it was about them starting a new life. I think it's the worst piece of fiction ever written, but it got me started.

    What is it about Jaina and Jag that makes them special to you?
    I guess it'd have to be that I just relate to them. It's a bit of normalcy I guess I'd say. I mean, they fell in love in the middle of the war and that just made me want them to fight for it. And when I don't like what the writers have to say about their relationship I can just make it up, which is always a plus.

    Whenever I sit down to write, it just always seems that the best characters for me to use are Jaina and Jag, everybody else is really stubborn. To actually answer the question I guess they're special to me because they let me play with them.

    Tell us about your newest fanfiction – Whatever You Say and Consequences
    Well, Whatever You Say was a spur of the moment sort of thing. I was sitting at my computer and suddenly I had inspiration. The surprising thing about it is that I never actually wrote it for the Quotations challenge. I'd already had it written and when I got my quote it just seemed to fit perfectly.

    I'd actually been sitting on Consequences for months before it ever saw the light of day. I had never actually planned to post it, but then as I got further into the story I decided that I couldn't not post it. Consequences, for me, shows the human nature of Jaina and Jag. They both had very human emotions throughout the story, fear of rejection, anger, and the thought of unrequited love.

    How about a sneak peek at things to come in at least one of those stories? You know how we J/Jers are about spoilers
    haha. How can I give the readers sneak peeks if I don’t even know what I’m going to do with the stories? I can tell you for sure though that Consequences will have a sequel. But that’s all I know.

    You have one epic – Driven – and some shorter works. Which do you prefer writing more?
    I most definitely prefer to write the shorter works. Driven is fun, but I always seem to be writing things for it that won’t happen for a while. It’s as if I’m writing it backwards and with a viggie or short story the idea is so short that I can’t start from the end and work forward, which gets it posted sooner for me.

    Have you written any pairings other than J/J?
    Not really. Every once in a while I’ll throw in a couple with J/J but I’ve never had a story completely based upon a different couple. I’ve had ideas for stories that were, but they always seemed to get halted or have J/J appear and take-over.

    How about a fun bit of trivia your readers might not know about you or your stories?
    Not sure how fun this is, but I’ll let you know anyway. I have to read the fiction out loud to myself before it’s allowed to be posted. Seriously. I refuse to post something unless I’ve read it aloud to myself to make sure everything sounds okay. And this stage of the production process actually has the most changes. So here’s some advice – if you can read it out loud to yourself, do it.

    Lastly, where do you see Jaina and Jag going forward in canon? And what advice would you like to give to the writers of the Legacy of the Force series?
    Oh gosh. Do you mean where do I want to see them or where do I actually see them? I guess I’d have to say that I can see Jaina and Jag staying as a couple for a while longer, but then drifting apart. I mean, they’re living halfway across the galaxy from one another, I’d be very surprised to see them get closer.

    And my advice for the writers of the Legacy of the Force series is simple, don’t put Jaina and Zekk together. Many bad things will occur if you do. Breaking Jaina and Jag up will only be the end of the world if they put Jaina and Zekk together.
