Varykino, the Archive of Padmé Amidala || Update - 5/11

Varykino ? The Archive of Padmé Amidala
[image=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y64/AngelQueen/Padme%20Archive%20Stuff/ArchiveBanner1.jpg]

Padmé Amidala. In less than thirty years, she had lived a life that was an almost constant whirlwind. She served as the democratically-elected Queen of Naboo and the Senator of the Chommell Sector. She saw war in a time of peace. She participated in the violent and turbulent Clone Wars. She saw the Galactic Republic become the Galactic Empire. Perhaps most tragically, she saw the man she loved most fall into a darkness she could not save him from and died before seeing her newborn children into the world.

Hers is a story unto itself. Let it be told.

?So this is how liberty dies: with thunderous applause.?

Many thanks to leia_naberrie for informing me that I had put in the wrong link to the updated story. Let that be a lesson to everyone else! If you see something wrong, please do not hesitate to post here at the archive or send me a PM!

Again, my sincere thanks.

Sigh, AQ, these piccies are so pretty! Awesome stuff!

 

Thank you, bobilll! I'm in the process of making buttons for the archive, and I hope to have a selection up within the next few weeks. *sigh* Being in college stinks sometimes. It means less time to devote to really important things, like the preservation of the chracter of the good Senator, or in my case, sighing over my two favorite Jedi.

Enjoy!

May be a silly question, but should those stories have their authors by them?

 

They do. Up within the Archive area itself, the stories are listed under the name of their authors.
