    Hi all, I'm NabooNomad typing all the way from jolly ol' England.

    I've been a HUGE SW fan for many years and have lurked around these boards for sometime reading fanfics, now thinking about dabbling in writing my own.

    Looking forward to actually being a part of the boards :)

    I'm a big fan of AU Skywalker stories prequel, sequel and beyond timelines, although I do try to read a variety :)

    If I did try to write anything it would probably be something along those lines, as those are the stories I know best, how about you?

    Thank you for responding. Cushy enjoys non-Skywalker redemption tales. Particularly for Dooku, I like seeing Jedi Dooku as well. AUs and h/c is what I tend to read.

    Cushy debating on attempting a Tarkin redemption fic as yet I have never seen a completed one. In my experience most writers make him worse than he is in SW which I don't like.

    That's no problem.

    I must admit I quite enjoy a Skywalker redemption story - possibly because there are so many different takes on the subject.

    I haven't come across a lot of Dooku-central fics but I think a take on his time as a Jedi would be a good read!

    Ah yes Tarkin does have a bad rep doesn't he - interesting concept of a redemption fic involving him though

    I find Anakin hard to read and thus to relate to.

    There aren't many and most Dooku fics don't have much length which is a shame but a few do.

    *Nods* He does. It seems all many see is Alderaan which I find quite sad and frustrating. Thanks. :)

    I suppose that's the fun of writing fan fiction though, taking a character and making them believable with your own ideas even when they've already been set to a certain standard (if that makes sense)

    I think that's why I enjoy AU, exploring different possible sides to characters.

    Hi Jedi Knight Fett :) it does look like a lot of fun getting involved in the boards, I think I'll enjoy :)

    Tarkin doesn't have a standard there's very little we see and in my experience many don't see what is there. *Shrugs* Glad you like fanfics. :)

    Hello and welcome. Redemption themed stories are fantastic because that's such a hopeful/positive outcome. It's terrific to explore the individuals who even unknown to themselves help a person along the path to redemption. [face_thinking]

    Hi Nyota's Heart, thank you :) yeah my thoughts exactly! It gives you a chance to explore lots of different characters too and coming up with all sorts of scenario's that can lead to a redemption, its consequences etc. it's definitely a favourite theme of mine :)

    I might even attempt one of my own one day!

    Welcome NabooNomad! :)

    I think you have the right view on FanFic writings: The chance to let experience a character more than one characterline and make it what you want.

    So, good luck in your first FanFic! You'll have a brilliant time while thinking of your story. I'm sure. :)

    Enjoy your stay! :)
