Okay, how does this sound?

I'm beggining work on a new Wedge Antilles fanfic (set in between ANH and ESB). It's going pretty well at the moment, 6 pages done so far. Working titles are 'Wedge vs Darkness' and 'Saving Private Antilles'. It won't be finished for a while, but heres the first paragraph from the first chapter, working title 'Aftermath'.

(note: this is still first draft!)


THE pain raking through the prostrate form of Lieutenant Wedge Antilles was unbearable, to say the least. Fire coursed through every nerve in his body, momentarily soothed by a burst of ice, before the frigid shots became the unbearable factor in his prone body, paving the way for a burst of flame to continue the death cycle. Each and every bone in his body was being pummelled by crushing immense crushing machines from the Geonosian Droid Foundries, a hundred Super Battle Droids marching over his battered brain every second. His eyes popped from their bruised and burnt sockets due to space exposure, and his four pitiful limbs hung limply in Hutt slime. Oil slicked down the dry desert that was his throat, setting alight in the flame trails of the supernova sun that was exploding a thousand times over in his wrecked head. Crusted blood accentuated key features on Wedge?s face, such as his blackened eyes, which flittered delicately in the morning sun, recoiled with pain, and attempted the manoeuvre a second time, this time slower, exposing the nature of the surroundings to Wedge. Darkness followed.

So, how was it? Main characters include Wedge, Vader and Luke, new characters include a Star Destroyer commander with a sense of honour and a wild A-Wing pilot.

 

Sounds interesting A-Wings. . .

Man Wedge has got on sith of a hangover doesn't he?

More seriously I hope he is ok, and I wonder what happened to him.

 

You should keep going with it.

 

This sounds nice. I'll be looking forward for more.

 

Thanks for your encouragement. I've done 15 pages so far, I've just finished a rock-and-roll 8-page space battle in which the Rogues must steal a cargo crater from a heavily defended (well, fairly defended) Imperial convoy using only 12 A-Wings, 11 X-Wings and a Corellian Corvette (modified, of course).

Hopefully it'll get into the FanFic section, if not then i'll post it here for your 'enjoyment'.

 

sounds good to me!

 

Noo! Writers block!

At least now I know what it feels like...

 

*sees Wedge*

Ok, I'm here, now where's the rest?

 

LOL, i'm gonna try and get it into the fanfic section first before I put it on the boards. And not to worry, lots of Wedge action!
