Resource The Crèche Thread, Mk. 2, a place where New Members can get help with their fanfics.

Looking for: Padawan (brave soul they must be!)

Era:
Saga/limited Beyond – see notes

Favorite Characters:
Movie Cannon, OC’s

Strengths:
Characters, romance, Giving your characters a ‘voice’, making you think…

Weaknesses:
The EU. I have my own.

I love to write:
A wide variety, all perspectives

No way will I ever write: Mara-Mara-Mara – sorry, she is a non-entity in my worldview, as is Thrawn or any major EU character.

Random Facts and Fun Information about me:
I have been ‘infamous’ for pushing the boundaries, but I have never stepped over the line. Indeed, if you read the FAQ, yes, that is my work that is the ‘nookie litmus’ and has been for many years. I fought hard for the inclusion of ‘SSR’ (same sex relationships) of characters (policy follows Lucasfilm – nothing vulgar or overt, OC ONLY, and no Canon characters – IE, Luke doesn't fancy Han, Leia isn't falling over herself for Mon Mothera, and Obi-Qui-Anankin… you get the idea)

Note that I will encourage you, red pen of death you (I learned from the best) give you suggestions, question you, poke and prod you, but I will not write your story for you –It’s YOUR STORY. YOU have the final say, unless it violates the TOS/guidelines. I will hold your hand, pat your head or kick your hiney – whatever works. J

I love to write: fiction, mostly fantasy

No way will I ever write: any type of torture pron - not my style


Random Facts and Fun Information about me: I'm not nearly as good at the nuances and characters of SW as my husband is!

Link to a sample of my writing: I don't actually have this, so I'm putting a sample here instead (hope that's not against the rules!)


Introductions:

Kanan sat in the shadowy corner of a bar on Gorse quietly nursing a pint of the local brew. He didn't even notice the figure who had come up behind him until he felt a light touch on his arm.

"I've been looking for you," a soft voice drew his attention momentarily to the female figure who had sat down at his right.

"You've got the wrong guy," Kanan replied, "I don't know you".

"But I know you, Caleb Dume".

Kanan stiffened reflexively and stopped pretending to be absorbed by his pint.

"I told you, you've got the wrong guy. That's not my name and I think it's about time you left me to my drink, " his tone remained even, but his hand reached meaningfully for the blaster at his hip.

"You can threaten me if you want, but I do know you and you are who I am looking for, Caleb Dume".

Kanan now turned his full attention to the figure for the first time. She was mostly shrouded in a hood, but her eyes sparkled intently in its shadows as they locked onto his.

"Who are you?" he asked, panic raising a full alarm along his arms and spine.

"My name is Illia Thall and before you refuse to hear what I have to say, I would like to point out that the entire time we've been speaking, neither of us has said a word".

Kanan opened his mouth to reply only to realize that what she had said was true and that her hand still rested gently on his arm.
