Author	Topic: Second Chances (A/P, sort of - one post)

	Jedikma: Yeah. I can see why. I don't really know why I felt such a strong urge to write this bunny, especially since I don't believe in reincarnation. But it was fun to explore. I added the quotes later, after writing the whole story, but I'm glad I did - you said this wasn't confusing, but without those quotes, I think it would have been. Anyway - thank you. -----signature----- MS Word is designed by sadists with masochists in mind. - teh atty my recent Atton (KOTOR2) fic: http://boards.theforce.net/before_the_saga/b10475/30335989

	This is the most original, unique idea for a story I’ve seen in quite a while. There are so many things that caught my eye about the characters, the things you used to effectively tie them to Anakin & Padmé. Ander’s caring for his mom, his certainty that people can work out their differences if you just throw them in a room together, his slave background, his paternity, etc. And Paylene’s political views, along with her sister insisting she needs a family, her desire to help people… The interspersed Anakin/Padmé quotes worked very well too. They pulled me back into the past just enough to make things clear, but not enough to distract from the story. The part about Sihm and the robbers was nicely chilling, with Paylene’s unique ability to comfort Ander and say just the right thing to calm him down. The garden scene, with the speeder bike and the sunset, was just perfect. A beautifully romantic moment followed by the perfect sunrise wedding. And twins! Very cool! But the most excellent thing about this story is the fact that this time things worked out for them. Second chances are wonderful things. -----signature----- SagaJournal.com - an academic journal celebrating the Star Wars myth http://www.sagajournal.com/rslaughterofinnocents.html

	I don't believe in reincarnation either, but sometimes these odd ideas can be interesting to explore. Ummm, I wonder, what if it was actually worse the second time around? Do you suppose that could be possible? up ~Jedikma -----signature----- Twice in a Lifetime 7/31 http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/16813029 A Quiet Afternoon http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/23305946 follow up vig to: A New Order http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/17525231

	Reihla: Wow, thank you! Yeah, I wanted to make the connection between the characters as clear as possible, while still making Ander and Paylene a bit different. For example, Paylene doesn't go into politics and Ander isn't a Jedi. Nor is it said anywhere he ever had a desire to be one. I'm glad the quotes worked, too. Some were kind of long, but I decided short would be better - I mean, we're all SW fans here, right, so I figured a short quote was all that would be necessary to bring a certain scene to mind. And of course twins! It had to be twins. I even started their names with 'L', too. Second chances are wonderful things - I totally agree. Jedikma: Aye, they are. Yeah, things definitely could have been worse. It would have been hard, considering how bad they were the first time around , but yeah, why not? Thanks for the up. -----signature----- MS Word is designed by sadists with masochists in mind. - teh atty my recent Atton (KOTOR2) fic: http://boards.theforce.net/before_the_saga/b10475/30335989

	Oh, is THIS the one you meant when you said you posted something last week? I must have overlooked it! My bad! This was really lovely. I like the idea of Anakin and Padme getting a second chance and everything working out so nicely for them. I love the thought that the twins (Leland?!) get to grow up with both their parents...and this way turns out much better for them, too. No having to have the weight of the galaxy on their shoulders. Now were their spouses still a brash Corellian and a fiery redhead? I know, I know, this was about Ani and Padme, but can I help it if I'm such a Luke-junkie? I don't think it was confusing at all, although it probably was a good idea to include the quotes. Got us right into the moments you wanted us to be in. Wonderful as usual!! -----signature----- My new philosophy of life (borrowed from Elvis Presley) "The sun's down and the moon is pretty. It's time to ramble."

	kayladie97: I'm not surprised you overlooked it. I write so much you're bound to miss something. Yeah, well, A/P deserve some happiness! Even if only in fanfic! (We torture them in fanfic too, have you noticed? ) I thought the twins would be appropriate. As for Leland, I never liked that name, until I read this wonderful, wonderful story where the main character's name was Leland. I fell in love with the character, and therefore the name. (Same with Liam, which I almost used.) I almost added that one of the grandkids would red-headed, I think, so . . . anyway. L/M. The quotes were good.

	That was great! How ironic that their lives were sorta similar to Anakin's and Padme's! Great work! Loved how they philosophized the lil bit about 'second chance' -----signature----- Paddy sis to t_s & SarkaVrae/Master to hyperspace_police Member of Rebel Legion and Jedi Assembly (Kynstar Lans) Only thru fear, hatred, and pain will the true power of the Force be revealed.

	Jaina_and_Jag: Thank you. Tahi: Thanks. I'm glad the excerpt was good, too - I had so much trouble cutting up this story. Kynstar: Well, that was the idea. Not just enough life, but another chance.
