This demands a prequel. Or a sequel. Or a story to do with the AU. I just want more! Argh!

Excellent storyline, writers! And nicely tied in with the OT continuum as well.

But - a dark Obi? shock

Did I make myself clear? SEQUELSEQUELSEQUELSEQUEL!!!

As one of your earlier commentors said, I definately needed a happy ending after ROTS, and this fit sooo perfectly. An awe inspiring, completed, intracately preformed peice. One of your finest novel length writings Oba, that is for sure. And this has only been nominated for two awards??? That's a milking shame!

So very enjoyable, many thanks for starting, replying, and finishing!!!!!


May the Force be with You,
Barissa

To everyone: I thank all the readers who stuck through this to the bitter end. Okay, so the end wasn't so bitter, but you know what I mean. tongue obaona is a joy to work with and I'm grateful she put up me with as a new co-writer and with my frequent "I'm stuck, you write the next part" periods. tongue hugs

vader_incarnate: I so heart Xanatos. What's not to love? batting And thank you for kind comments. I have to say it was difficult for me to try to match the level of writing both you and oba had on this. Again with my fruckin' throwaway lines. Hee hee. tongue

Webogirl: You're one of the lucky ones who don't have to wait, oh, about two and half years to read the whole thing. tongue Hope you enjoy! tongue

Stargazer-19: I can't say anything more than the fact that I loved it! So glad you enjoyed it! grin And thanks. happy

Shaindl: Thanks for your comments. grin And I'm glad you stuck through to the end. happy

Siri-Wan-Kenobi: Thanks! grin

bobilll: Thanks! grin It's interesting how, by breaking all the rules, Anakin can stay light, when the rules are made to keep one light in the first place. It's a good way to look at it. Anakin sorta shows how the rules needed to be reevaluated. But he's the Chosen One, he can do whatever he wants. tongue

PadmeSolo: Good to see ya again! Hope you enjoy the rest of the story. grin

PadawanKitara: Thank you. grin

young_mara: This demands a prequel. Or a sequel. shock Noooooo!!!! laugh Thanks for reading! grin

Rosh_Penin: But - a dark Obi? Why not dark Obi? love drooling tongue Thanks! grin

BarissaOffee: SEQUEL SEQUEL SEQUEL Obaona has only agreed to write a sequel if readers each pay her $50. (I kid, I kid! It's actually $250). mischief Glad you enjoyed the story! grin

*delurk*

I haven't officially read the last bit of the story, but I have been reading this story since it was re-posted here, and like a bad little lurker, haven't spoken up. Unlike most JA readers, I never really liked Xanatos...until I read this story. I definitely could have gone for Xan if he was the fellow we see here! batting

agentj: Well, then, I hope you like how it ends. mischief

I'm glad you liked Xan - I think he was the character that grew the most (in terms of what we expected), and he ended up having a surprising amount of depth. thinking Thank you, and a nice big *HUG* for delurking! hugs

Yeah so, I did actually read the final part when you first posted it on FFN but I didn't reply. blush Officially delurking!

But I loved this story! It was just so well done. I love how Obi-Wan was able to find healing and realize what he needed to about himself and Anakin of his world. I also love how he helped the Jedi of this universe see what they had not been able to see or understand in his own.

Fantastic!

Though I joined the group a bit late in the game, let me tell you it has been a delight reading this story. The creativity and vivid imagery regarding Obi-Wan and Xanatos' emotions and howyou reworked everyone in so that it all ended right and gave Obi-wan the strength necessary to keep going in his universe was phenomenal.

I applaud everyone involved.

Look forward to reading more from both of you.

Jade

Well it's 1am now so I'll try to catch up tomorrow if I can. I'm so happy you guys finished this story, though- can't wait to read grin
