Author	Topic: Fan Fiction Newsletter 1
Kettch_the_Jedi Registered: Nov '02	Date Posted: 3/11/03 8:12am Subject: Fan Fiction Newsletter 1
	Fan Fiction Review Newsletter 1 Welcome to the first edition of the Fan Fiction Review Newsletter. This is a smaller, trial edition to determine the interest in this idea. If you have any comments, suggestions, or ideas about the newsletter, post it here. Ratings: The order of the ratings are: Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent, Amazing. New Fan Fictions Title: Fight the Tide Author:RogueSticks Era: OT Summary: Han, Leia, Luke and Chewbacca interact and go on a mission that takes place during the OT. Slightly romantic. Number of Reviewers: 1 Rating: Very Good Comments: Reads nicely and is very interesting. Adds to the OT. I really enjoyed the Han/Leia interaction. Quotes: “I could take C-3PO,” she suggested quietly. In truth, she could handle either mission and she didn’t want to seem like she was being childish, but, she would prefer not flying with Captain Solo. He had a habit of bringing out the worst traits in her personality. Title: Lost Knght Author: The_Face Era: Clone Wars Summary: After a battle against four cyborgs, a young man wakes up on a world unknown to him only to discover that several months have gone by. Although he believes he is a Jedi, the other Jedi, including Yoda, do not recognize him or seem even to have heard of him. He embarks on a quest to find out the answers. Number of Reviewers: 2 Rating: Fair Comments: An interesting take on the Clone Wars. A very intriguing read but not too many details and was a little confusing at first. It contains some light humor. Quotes: Blenn gave him an evaluative look. "Without Blenn Jasta, master Jedi, combat expert, and beautiful colleague? I think not." Aerrcho finally grinned. Title: The Dance of War Author: Sara_Kenobi Era: ANH AU Summary: See Comments Number of Reviewers: 1 Rating: Very Good Comments: This story is about Leia and Luke living with Padme and Bail Organa. Luke with Bail on Alderaan and Padme with Leia on Naboo. It is an interesting concept, that being instead of Alderaan being blown up, Naboo is blown up and that is how Vader finds out Leia is his daughter. The writing is done very well and there is some good detail. I thought it was a very good read and I will follow the story if Sara_Kenobi chooses to update and continue it, which I'm sure she will. Quotes: Leia could feel the mind controlling drugs fighting to take control of her system. Somewhere off in the distance, she could hear someone speaking to her. They wanted to know where the Rebel Base was. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words would come. All she could hear was her scream. Older Fan Fictions Title: Life Long Friends Author: Padawan_Jess_Kenobi Era: JA AU Summary: The story relates the growing friendship between Qui-Gon Jinn, fifteen year old Xanatos and seven year old Obi-Wan Kenobi. The plot thickens further as an assasination attempt on the two boys and the danger heightens. Number of Reviewers: 1 Rating: Very Good Comments: I am very impressed with this WIP by Padawan Jess Kenobi. It offers a new perspective of seeing Xanatos, Obi-Wan, and Qui-Gon all together in the same timperiod. It's a refreshing change to prequel era fiction. All we can do for now is wait for the next posts. Quotes: Locked Fan Fictions Title: When a Child Cries Out in the Night Author: Jedi Gryph Grin Era: Pre-OT, OC Summary: See Comments Number of Reviewers: 1 Rating: Excellent Comments: What else satisfies like adventure, romance, angst, action and a young sexy jedi who looks remarkabley like a cat made human? This brillant story focuses on the adventure between Kason and his Master Charsa as they uncover the mysteries that surround the planet of Davven Vor. Despite its locked status, this story is well worth the read! Quotes: Plot Bunnies One What would have happened if Tarkin had done the obvious and instead of 'orbiting the planet' he would have just blasted Yavin out of the way? He could have saved lots of time, right? And the resulting explosion would have also damaged Yavin 4 a lot, confusing and probably destroying most of the rebel fleet before they could attack. Survivors would have been captured and Luke could be among them, Vader, obviously, would have been very interested in Luke. Two How about Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker were actually two different people? (Like how Obi-Wan told Darth Vader had killed Anakin) And what if Anakin was still alive somewhere? (Can add Padme into the picture if you wish...) Three Facts: · It is thought by scientists that black holes create a funnel in the fabric of space time that, when traveled around at high speeds, can actually move a person back in time, not like in pop-culture, but only by a matter of seconds. · No object of matter can travel near a black hole. · When a Jedi dies, he or she becomes one with the Force, becoming a being of energy. Premise: · Anakin Solo dies in SbS, and presumably becomes one with the Force, meeting all of the other Jedi in that realm of spirit beings. · The further an object moves down the cone of space time, its movement through time increases exponentialy. However, the force of gravity also increases by the same amount, and so it takes more power to survive a longer trip. · The other Masters have been able to travel some seconds into the past, but have not had reason to attempt to move further. · The Masters realize how important Anakin is to the war against the Yuuzahn Vong, and band together to help him travel down the black hole's funnel. · Anakin comes back to the worldship moments before he recieves his first injury while rescuing Jaina.

	Comment on plot bunny number one: The logical explanation is that the Death Star was not capable of destroying a gas giant, which, after all, would take far more energy than destroying an Earth-sized planet.

	I like that third plot bunny. Just the kind of thing I like. Don't know if I could do it justice, though.

	This newsletter is the best addition on the fanfic forum. I am a reader and the review information listed here: ratings, plots and summaries will help me decide on what to read. I want to acknowledge the hard work done by all the volunteers, and hope that the newsletter will have a very long and productive live. -Tintin PS I have a suggestion - in several reviews, it was hinted that the reviewed stories have not been completed. Could that fact be listed near the top? Thanks.
