Resource Fanfic Writer's Desk: Your Place for Writing Discussion, Questions, and Advice

And after another lengthy travel without Wi-Fi, I am finally going home. Which means meesa back to writing, as well as the discussions.

But now to my question. I have my OC discussing the tactics against the FO with the remnants of the Republic military. Leia and Han are in the same room. Previously, I've had the same OC kill Kylo to save Han, which lead to Han and Leia hating her, telling her to go away and never see them again. However, the OC is willing to break that because she knows she is needed there( plus Luke is coming there too, as well as Rey). Which led me to wonder: how would they react to their former friend, as well as the killer of their son, showing up? Would they let their emotions gain the upper hand, get mad at her and shoo her away, regardless of what use she may be, or will their pragmatic side win, and they will still recognize her as an ally and let her stay, limiting their hatred to judging looks and occasional hurtful remarks?

 

Thanks, have you postat that in the 'Useful Tools and Resources for Writers' thread? I did not see it there.

 

Nope, but I'm on my way to post it there

EDIT DARTH_MU The map of the Galaxy I linked to for Gamiel, together with the Essential Atlas appendix, are as detailed as it gets -- which means that you can easily create your own sector because no one is crazy enough to go and check if it exists

 

That's absolutly true

 

I'm not entirely convinced that everything is mapped out in detail anyways--considering that the Galaxy is immensely huge, there is always room for unexplored or previously unknown sectors within an established area.

 

Yes! You are back! Welcome back.

It all depends on your plot needs. If I were writing, maybe Leia or Han decides to leave the room, and Luke is able to convince one or both of them to stay?
There's going to much yelling and screaming though.

 

Actually, that is an interesting idea. Not sure I want the screaming and yelling during a war council, in front of a few military figures. I'll think about it.

 

In practice I have had to create the my own sector with my fanon regarding the Lahara sector*, so if you want any tips I have some.

*as seen in the Fanon thread #shameless_self_promotion

To ad to this, most sectors are not fully show in the books and are really, really big in practice, so you can easily make up your own sub-sector with many planets and organisations without it feeling crowded

 

Is there any SW creature that is similar to a squirrel?

 

There is something called a Nelvaan squirrel which is basically like a squirrel; also, maybe the Tooke or Kushiban? Both are very rodent-like.

 

I have found two creatures that seems to fill similar to squirrels but are not squirrel-like in shape. Would they be of interest?

 

Thanks gizkaspice

Gamiel Yes, please, I'd be interested. Tookas would probably do the trick for my story but if you have an animal that climbs on trees it would be even better.

 

Chyntuck If you need something that also climbs on trees there is the Stintaril but it looks a bit less squirrel-like and more possum-like in appearance.

 

The two I found was the quizzer from Gamorr and the knytix from Thyferra

 

Thanks again!

 

"Speshul Snowflake"?

 

Findswoman

"Angry Loth-cat"
"Little rancor"
"Angry snowflake"
"Tiny terror"
"Special wookie"
"Furious Tooke"
"Tantruming tauntaun"

I'm making this up as I go along and have no idea if they're any good

 

Findswoman Would something along the lines of "little misty dreams" work? (if you're referring to the character I'm thinking of.)

 

Findswoman: how about Storm dreamer?

 

If it was in a setting based on our world I would suggest 'Cassandra'.

'Headcase' would not be affectionate
Maybe 'Third eye'?
'Prekog'? As in precognition
'Moon dreamer'? Referring to that the moon in some beliefs are connected to visions (and madness)

 

Would you be willing to go all fanon?
Then I give you:
Kassandriola.

 

What about "Ellie"?

Seems like a cute affectionate name to me.

And sounds similar to ELE, which means Extinction Level Event.

If your student is male, the teacher does not have to reveal that in a Galaxy far far away, eg. here, Ellie is a girl's name.

 

The only recommendation I would make would be a semi-sarcastic nickname: "Little Miss Sunshine," or "The Eternal Optimist," for someone who has dark dreams and pessimism.
