Awards 2004 Summer Fan Fiction Awards The Saga Ceremony

The curtain slowly rises to reveal a dark, empty stage. The audience quiets and suddenly a lone trumpet is heard from backstage. Then two more trumpets from the side join in the welcoming herald. Next thing you know, audience members are pulling trumpets and drums out of their pockets and joining in the musical. Then as one, they all end on a high note and the stage lights flash on...


Welcome to the 2004 Summer Fan Fiction The Saga Awards Ceremony!


I, Kettch_the_Jedi will be tonight?s host along with many familiar Star Wars Characters helping out. Any disturbances in the proceedings will be taken care of by Darth Maul, Vader and Tarkin, assisted by our great moderators. Any uses of the Dark Side?besides from the bouncers?will be dealt with by Yoda, Mace Windu and Adi Galla. Lighting will be overseen by the ?We are Individuals Too? clone group and the sound system will be under the Seperatists control. Mind tricks and negative comments are not allowed and will be swiftly dealt with. Gambling is prohibited and will be patrolled by our volunteer Hutts. In addition, we have many bounty hunters armed with laughing gas blasters who will be insuring that eveyone is having fun... or else.

Just waving in to say good luck to everyone. I'm not actually in the running for this, so bye!

 

As I said last night, on behalf of the fanfic mods (who are watching BTW) I'd just like to state from the outset that any snide accusations, temper tantrums, or any other disruptive activity will earn the offenders a quick seat in the upper, upper, upper balcony.

That is all.

Have fun.

 

VaderLVR and her daughter VadersMistress waltz in and then proceed to trip over that pesky thread in the red carpet. The grace legacy lives on!

Howdy everybody!

 

*Orders drink and settles into seat*

 

Knight-Ander arrives in his traditional waiter's outfit

May I take your order?

 

*Renata is wearing her most formal Jedi robes, and finds a quiet spot in a dark corner, with a nod at Herman in his full Enforcer garb...*

 

Ophelia shows up wearing a "Soy Bomb" shirt and carrying a simply enormous bag of Swedish fish gummy candy. Begins handing Swedish fish to everyone in sight.

 

Hey KA! Jawa juice please?

 

::Sticks around long enough to hug ophelia and steal a few swedish fish.::

 

Vadey walks in and helps herself to a comfy seat.
I'll cheer for obi_ew and Shaindl, of cours I wish everyone good luck.

 

I only like red swedish fish, can you pick them out for me? Please?

 

*settles in chair*

Howdy, y'all!

 

Well, if you want something weak, jawa juice it is.

 

* plops down between the three Vaders*

 

Gets comfy - keeping eyes open for handsome jedi's with cleft chins!

 

The nominees for The Saga Best Alternate Universe are


Sleight of Hand by kayladie97

?He is my son, not a contingency plan.? Padmé?s tone was cold and cutting and Obi-Wan couldn?t help flinching.

The Skywalker Prophecy ? Episode VI: The Paths of Fate by Darth_Lex

Padmé threw up her hands. ?Now that we?ve all had our fun at Chancellor Amidala?s expense, can we please move on to the real business of this office??

In The End by obi_ew

"You and I both know that where Jedi go, trouble is sure to follow. I have a bad feeling about this," Han explained with a frown.

Dark Legacy by tangled_sphere

"I should kill you," said Dooku placing his saber at Obi-Wan's neck, "but I sense that my Master is wrong. You still have a use..."

The Angel of Alderaan by Tribun

"My name is Padmè Amidala Skywalker, your mother, Luke."

Betrayal by dianethx

"I tried to shield you as best I could, keeping my own hurt away so that you could learn free of the taint and betrayal that I felt. I learned to cope, to find joy in doing the work of a Jedi Knight... when I was permitted to do so."

Dark Side of the Road by Shaindl

The bounty hunter bowed. ?As you wish.? He reached for the clasps of the helmet and removed it carefully, revealing a set of startling blue eyes.
Setting the headgear carefully on the desk, Xanatos deCrion took his seat.

Reminiscence by red_rose_knight

The Chancellor?s silvery words of innocence fell on deaf ears, as Anakin knew all too well that he was the reason that Obi-Wan was dead. The guilt spoke far louder than any voice, and even someone as powerful as the Chancellor could not be heard over the sanguine screams.

Absolution by Gina

I chose to follow my heart instead of the rules," Anakin said, betrayal etched on his face. "You should try it sometime."

 

I only like red swedish fish, can you pick them out for me? Please?

Actually, they're all red. Mutant-colored swedish fish candy is just *wrong.*

 

Kazzy walks in with as little fuss as possible. Nods to the other guests and sits herself down.

Hey everyone!

 

Hey KA, it's early yet

 

I'll put 5 credits down on Lex in this category.

 

Mutant-colored swedish fish candy is just *wrong.*

I agree! They should be banned or something.

VaderLVR grabs a handful of fishies from her hidden stash and sits back down.

 

Oh, I've almost forgotten, I'll cheer for dianthx, too.

Which three vaders, oe?

 

Jabba the Hut quietly squirms up to KA and talks about betting. Watto is seen to join them quickly.

 

Waiter....waiter....Corellian Ale
