    New Fan Fictions

    Title: Han Alone
    Author:Knight-Ander
    Era: OT, AU
    Status: In Progress
    Summary: With his mission to destroy the Imperial shield generator a failure and his friends dead or missing, Han Solo faces his future alone. An intresting concept focusing on "What if the shield Generator on Endor wasn't destroyed?" . Han is captured and is being held on the Death Star while his friends are either missing or dead.
    Number of Reviewers: 3
    Rating: Very Good-Excellent
    Comments: Very well written. With Leia injured, Chewie apparently reduced to a pile of fur, and Threepio missing, there's plenty of suspense and every reason to look forward to the next installment. Knight-Ander also gives us a satisfying look into Han's feelings for Leia, which he did not have a chance to express before their capture. It is very amusing and well-written; it keeps your attention and makes you want to continue reading. It was a wonderful idea to use Han Solo as the main character in this story. It's a gripping tale that has you paying attention to every single word. Bravo on this one!!
    Quotes: Things could have turned in favor of the rebels when the astromech Artoo-Detoo joined the rebel leaders at the recoded lock leading into the bunker, but a lucky shot from a stormtrooper hiding in the woods blasted the droid out of commission and all the way across the bunker's entrance. "Well," Han had said. "I suppose I could hot-wire this thing."

    Then she said the last words he would hear from her. "I'll cover you."

    Title: Dying Fire: The Three Fathers of Obi-Wan Kenobi
    Author: Jedi_Nifet
    Era: Post TPM, AU
    Status: In progress
    Summary: Obi-Wan is learning to deal with both his Master's death and having Anakin as a Padawan

    Rating: Good-Very Good
    Comments: Danger, intrigue, and all the makings of a story shaping up to be a mind twister. There are new takes on old premises, and I will assuredly be reading this one until the end. One of the most intense stories I have ever read; it's great.Many threads come together to form an intriguing start to the story and Nais Kobierta is a very interesting and well-drawn original character.
    Quotes:
    (1)He heard his padawan?s desperate, piercing cry of denial. Felt the pressure of air around him as he fell to his death, a sudden gush of wind that drove into him with ferocity, suffocating him, choking his breath. Then the darkness closed in on him, cutting everything off.

    (2)?That was?? Obi-Wan stooped in mid-sentence, seeing the fear ? that bone-deep fear Anakin had brought from his slavery ? show on the boy?s face.

    ?Um, sorry,? Anakin mumbled, trying to avoid looking at his Master.

    A sudden smile broke on Obi-Wan?s face. ?I hope you weren?t going to put it under anyone?s bed to turn it on at night?? he asked playfully.

    Surprised, Anakin looked up and had grace to blush.


    Title: The Return Home
    Author: Arwen_Solo
    Era: Post NJO
    Status: In progress
    Summary: After the death of both parents, Ben Skywalker runs away from home, leaving his younger sister b

    My favourite parts are the regular uses of Jedi mind-whammies (usually written in [color]red[/color]... ie: More reviewers are needed. If you are interested in becoming a reviewer, please check out this link. :D

    Sterling work, as usual, Kettch, and other contributors. :) Funny and informative and I especially like the bunnies section: do it like a personals ad, maybe: "AU bunny seeks author; Han Solo is 'The Other Hope' of the Galaxy: Luke gets frozen in Han's place and Han must go to Dagobah to be trained by Yoda; vignette or something more?"

    :)

    Keep up the good work, Kettch: maybe once this has become established they'll add a link at the top of the FanFic Forum pages! :)

    I've just read it - I liked the ads most. ;) They sound to me quite weird, but somehow very fitting into the SW Universe. ;)

    Shhh... You weren't supposed to pick up on the "Jedi mind-whammies". Let's keep it our secret. :) I have passed on your bunny suggestion. Thanks for it. And, that would be great if we could get a link!
