Psst... watch your sentances. Some people are going crazy with run ons, dialouge, and multiple sentence posts. I know we are all excited (myself included) but try to let it play out a bit and trust your fellow posters. 
Also... I really like the name Chiara! But would that be pronounced "Chee-are-uh" or "Chee-Air-uh" or something totally different I'm not thinking of?

I kind of jumped on the name Aletta, so I guess that's her name now that it's in the thread.  And I guess it's a nice change from all the hard "K" names we have.
I got my file updated today with the rest of the fic that has been posted. As of the line “A rebellion has begun on my planet,” Aletta explained. “Many innocent people have lost their lives.”, we are up to 6124 words.

So in all of this we've written two normal story posts?
Lol we need to write more!

 No problem, PHGS, just wanted to point it out. I love seeing how excited people are. Also, sorry about my flub with the names earlier. I didn't know one had been posted already. This story is going so fast, I'm amazed at how fast it's caught on. It has been on the first page for days! [face_dance]

Guilty as charged.  When writing dialog, it's just too tempting to right more than one sentence! 
So in all of this we've written two normal story posts?

If you're me, that's one post. But maybe we should think of it in terms of how the story's developing than how many words we've got... so far, Kadiea's had a proposal for marriage from a Wookiee, met a Miralukan Jedi who she later threw down the stairs, got locked up in a dungeon and was confronted by her "evil" father, escaped from said prison with help from a human Jedi and the Miralukan who she threw down the stairs, met a man smoking a deathstick who gave them a ship so they could get off-world, found out that she's possibly descended from the Solos and is Force-sensitive and her mother isn't who she thought she was, crash-landed on Alphriedies, got knocked out and woke up in another dungeon where she met the deathstick man again, rescued her unconscious Jedi friends with the help from the sister of one of the Jedi and is now in a safe house talking to said sister.
Wow, Kadiea has a hectic life.
I was just thinking... we know Aletta's ill in some way, but we don't know what yet. I was thinking, she's a Miralukan and that species has certain abilities. They're a Force-sensitive species; they see the world around them through the Force instead of with their eyes (speaking of which, they need to find masks, because Miralukans don't go around with their eyes uncovered ). What if Aletta has a genetic disease that manifests at puberty where the Miralukan in question can't see things through the Force any more? That would be quite devastating for them, I think. That also means that she's blind.

I like that idea, Idrelle.
This story is going great, everyone!

Thanks!
And yes, the fic is going so well! I really like how its still serious. It would a lot easier to write a humourous fic in this way, but things have stayed serious and dramatic. I like that a lot.
If we're going to use my idea for Aletta's sickness, we're probably going to have to introduce it somehow pretty soon.

That's true! We know... she's about 20 (well, no younger than 20, or at least that's what she looks like), knew Keiran from apparently a young age, she knew Kadiea's mother, she's pregnant with a half-human, half-Miralukan daughter... and has a fiery personality. That's about it.

True. But right now, i'm kinda concerned about how we're going to get the characters out of the rock and a hard place they find themselves in. i was thinking about introducing the death-sticks guy as a friend. Maybe even stepping up to the plate to help them. Again.
P.S. I'm with you PHGS. Been gone for one whole weekend, and the story's rocketed.  I think it's great!

i really like the death-sticks guy. What draws me to him is that I have no idea whether or not he's an ally. I think it makes better writing if it stays that way. Thus, i think he can help them, but make it appear that his motives may not be exactly pure. For example, he got them out of a really tough spot by getting them a ship. Then he programmed it to go to a planet where a revolution was going on. Is he good? Is he bad? who knows.

I agree, I like that quality. The grey-area characters, or seedy-side characters , are so much more fun! And I kind of like it how we call him "Deathstick Man". Makes it just that tad bit more mysterious and entertaining.

I'm just glad no one has given him a name, when i brought him in i had been watching an x-file marathon, and 'death stick man' was some kind of combo of cigarette smoking man and deep throat.

My latest post includes a new plot twist, and it's a pretty dark one. If you guys object to it, we can always have it changed, but I think it fits in with the dark tone this story is taking.
