    Nominees:

    ?Some Other Future?s Past? by Chaos_Rose

    ?The Scoundrel Chronicles? by Coota

    Paragraphs:

    ----
    ?Some Other Future?s Past? by Chaos_Rose

    This is a great story, taking events and changing and twisting them in a skilful way. You feel for every character, whether is Obi-Wan or Padme. All in all, an amazing story by a great author.



    Rose has an intriguing take on the "What if Qui-Gon lived" scenrio, with fantastic interaction between Queen Amidala, Anakin, and Obi-Wan.



    "Some Other Future's Past" takes several ideas and combines them into a new and fresh story. What if Qui-Gon had survived? What if the Council had refused to train Anakin? What if Padmé was Force-sensitive? It also does an excellent and touching job of showing the growing friendships between Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Amidala.




    ----
    ?The Scoundrel Chronicles? by Coota

    The Scoundrel Chronicles by Coota is a great read for anyone who loves the Rogue Squadron/Wraith Squadron series. Coota has been accused of being Aaron Allston in disguise and rightly so. His characters are so accurate, you would think he made them up himself. This OT AU centers around our favorite male characters (Han, Chewbacca, Luke, Wedge, Wes, and Hobbie) and provides plenty of action as well as laughs. Well, with these characters, what else do you expect?



    I was very impressed by this AU, as it?s well written and imaginative, but also seems to epitomise to me what an AU should be. I?m enjoying it immensely, and very happy I started reading it on day one.



    Aside from his brilliant portrayal of Han, Coota?s Wedge Antilles is dead-on, and his Luke is far less whiny and annoying, yet keeps the boyish charm of the original.



    The AU begins with a different result in the Trench Run attack on the Death Star.
    It is an original AU premise, yet it stays true to the cannon characters, and the dialogue, often with dry humor, is appropriate to the situations.



    Coota obviously understands his characters well, as their quick fire repartee is totally believable. He avoids the trap of going for cheap laughs, but rather lets the characters' naturally goofy traits make the humour. A very entertaining story.



    This is a thrill a minute with definite Aaron Allston influence. Coota has been accused of being Allston in disguise, but has denied all charges. The Scoundrel Chronicles are fun, adventurous and a plain, good read. This 'what if' story stars all our favorite SW men being, what else, themselves. The galaxy may never be the same.



    I like the premise of Coota?s story - which is that Luke?s shot missed. It?s an original way of changing the focus from Luke to Han. He characterises Han extremely well, and keeps putting him in situations where he has to make difficult decisions. All his characterisations are realistic and credible.



    Coota keeps the pace cracking and has a good sense of when to interrupt the pace for some inside views or internal monologue. Quite a skill, and hard to learn. He also writes fight scenes realistically, as well as space battles - again something that

    *Squeezes Jedi_Anakin_Solo's hand in appreciation as she glides into the room in a dark royal blue Regency-style gown, with a low, sweeping neckline and a high empire waist. The bodice is embroided in silver thread, accentuated by the delicate silver chain at her throat and earrings and bracelet to match. The hem swirls around her ankles, revealing strapy silver sandals. She smiles brilliantly at her escort, then allows him to lead her to a table.*

    Danni, what the heck do you mean dressing up is tedious? I wish I had a chance to do so more often.

    **Is wearing lovely pale yellow Empire waist number with beads** :D


    Good luck, everyone :)
