Ooh, very nice, creepy story! First I was surprised by this general tendency to write evil Obis, but I admit that I'm really starting to like it. He seems to be capable of so much more psychological evil than the other "bad guys". devil

I never really liked the couple Obi/Siri, but you wrote it perfectly, not too much and not too little.

Now you know what you should write? The other alternative! What if Garen had been sent instead of Siri? mischief love

Mummy- Oh, I so adore this. Evil, poetry-spouting Obi . . . I love evil Obi. devil I like how you wrote this from Siri's POV; it increased the mystery behind Obi's madness. And the poem, then the ending! shock Amazing job, dear mum. grin love

And the cover art fits so well. I see so much conflict in it, just like in the ficcie. wink

hugs

Oh, very nice, I loved the evil (mad confused ) Obi-Wan. Very dark and lovely.

The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon.

leia_naberrie: Yep, it was Siri who was killed. She's the one who feels pain - it's inferred rather than directly stated, but yep. tongue I refer to Anakin a lot in the story, so you can guess what he's up to - Palpatine has found him, so that can't be good. shock Thank you. grin

Jedi_Bant: I'm not sure what you mean. I try to be different in what I do, and I don't copy anyone else, ever. happy

Nat: I believe this is the month for Evil Obi's, actually, so that might explain all the ones you're seeing. wink Yeah, the other bad guys are generally established as just being, well, bad guys, not really psychologically going to mess with you types, except maybe Palpatine. tongue He can be fun to write this way. mischief

Garen? Why would you want me to do that? tongue Garen'd end up just as dead. mischief Thank you. grin

StarFighter5: I live for strange. wink Thank you. grin

Vongchild: Doesn't he? angel Thank you. grin

Liana: So you liked the poetry part? tongue Yeah, I wanted to do it from Siri's POV for that reason. I wanted to hint at what Obi-Wan plans, not spell it out in his thoughts. tongue Besides, I think writing his thoughts in this would be rather challenging. silly

Thank you. grin The cover art was fun to make, too. wink

red_rose_knight: Thank you. grin I think he's both evil and somewhat mad, myself. Mad, but not unaware of what he's doing and the wrongness of it, I guess. wink Thanks. happy
