Whatever Happened (JA, a bit AU)

post please that was great

 

I read JA #14!!!!! It was kinda cr*ppy, because there was NO Qui/Obi mush! None! ( I couldn't believe it! Two more suprises for you folks! In #14, Obi-Wan is suddenly 16!! And.......Qui-Gon and Tahl fall in love! They confess their *gags* love for each other near the end of their book. And no Qui/Obi mush!!!!! NONE! (((

(Does anybody like my user name??)

 

lol I do like your screen name.

Yes, I also didn't really care for number 14 either.

 

good post!

 

Thanks for the replies everyone!

And on a side note: No, I didn't like 14 either. Obi is treated like the forgotten step-child. Why can't someone just give that kid a hug!

 

Great story you got going here. And I sympathize with my twin, (Ani_rhymeswith_pansy), too. I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY... *strangled look comes on face* dislike JA #14. Believe it or not, we have a small riot going on in my house right now because of it. Yep, my family are all Star Wars freaks.

 

Up!

More please! Very cool so far!

Ahh! Stop talking about JA14! I haven't read it yet!! By the sounds of things it's not worth it but AHHHH STOP ANYWAY PLEASE!!!

 

comments.... um well another post would be nice

 

Thanks so much for all the comments! Hopefully I'll have another post up within the week. The play that I'm in has been distracting me a lot the past couple weeks, but once its over I should be able to post more regularly.

Sorry, if we ruined anything for you Ginger!

 

Looking forward to another post.I read the Ja14 also,and think maybe Jude watson should take some writing courses from some of the JA writers here,yourself included.PEACE

 

Woah wait a second did I here Qui and Tahl? :-O oh my gosh, anyhow, uh, more story?

 

More, Just found this and need more

 

I LIKED JA #14. It had some great Qui-angst in it. What's wrong with Tahl & Qui mush? It was sweet. (although based on the upcoming titles of #15 & #16 most likely doomed) From my point of view, the more Qui-Gon the better.

Oh, by the way JediKnightZarc, I like your story too!

 

Up! more story?

 

I haven't read it either, but plan on getting it sometime next week. Ya know what's weird? Usually I'm sooo excited when a new JA comes out, but now, I'm not... Of course I will still buy it and read it, as my collection wouldn't be complete without it! PLease post soon! Wait, maybe I'm not as excited cause it has more Qui in it... I heard they get tortured though... if that is true, I am a happy person!

 

I've notice a lot of stiories taking on a more dicussion route and it's great to see what people feel about certain things (i.e. JA #14).

First off, enjoyng this story immensly and I can't wait for the next part. It's always a treat to see things through a different person's eyes than something like the JA books give you.

Next, I thought 14 was both good and bad. Without giving anything away for those who haven't read it. I didn't like how Obi was completely forgotten (Is it now the Adventures of Qui and Tahl?) BUT, I did like how it took on a more grown-up context. They actually used the word torture (GASP) and, for those that read it, what happened between Qui and Tahl was a nice thing and Jude handled it very well.

I hope that, now that the JA's a bit more advance, we can see more of Obi and Qui with this new outlook.

 

Hehe, nice little discussion we got going here ain't it?

Just to throw in my two cents...I didn't think JA 14 was that bad, but it did leave something to be desired. The thing with Qui and Tahl is ok with me, even though I never cared for Tahl that much. I really thought the entire thing showed Qui to have more compassion than he had in previous books.

A lot of times in the JA books, the characters are shown to have problems but they are never delt with. I know a good argument for that is the fact that Qui and Obi and guys and guys don't usually sit and talk about their problems, but I still feel that Qui should have offered Obi more guidence. I mean, that stuff was a lot for a 13+ year old to go through.

In JA 14, Obi acts strong. I liked that. He is more mature and able to hold his own, but that is no excuse for him to be treated like the forgotten step-child. I think I was just a little disappointed that Obi and Qui aren't closer. A lot of times in fic we slop on the mush a little thick and it can be a little much, but still, Obi is only 16 (my own age) and I would hope that he at least got a little more from his Master than the cold shoulder he got in JA 14.

Ok, I'm done

Off to the theatre. I get to slap someone...on stage! Fun! I wanted to have a post ready for you people, but I got conived into pet sitting...ugh. I have some other stuff to take care of as well, but I hope to get another post up in the near future.

Thanks!

 

Have fun at your performance, and good luck! Please post more as soon as possible!

 

UP!

 

Welp...my play is over. The cast party was great btw. Unfortunatly, my mom decided we needed to have some family bonding time today so we all went down to the wave pool. Well, I am fried! I am red from the top of my head to the top of my feet. I don't expect to be moving around too much tomorrow so maybe I'll get around to finishing the next post and make some people here happy.

Until then!

 

we'll forgive you this time, but next time, might I suggest sun screen?

 

JA #14 did leave much to be desired. I agree, they are becoming more advanced. I don't like how Obi's age seems to leap from 14 to 16--What happened when he was 15??? I think that the author should take it slow, the reading level is grade 4, if Obi grows up too quickly, younger kids will have a harder time identifying with him, and they may become bored, and part of the audience will be lost. HEHE I'm waayyy too old for the JA books--I'm 13 but I'm reading them anyway hehe

 

I'm also 13, but if you read the reviews on Amazon.com and such, readers as old as 40 enjoy them, so I don't consider 13 as wayyyy old... But, anyways, I didn't like #14. Too much Qui and Tahl and talking. NOT ENOUGH ACTION! Not enough Obi! But, I was very surprised that the book had this word: TORTURE! I almost fainted! Anyways... I'm done now...

 

Hey all! I know I promised a post, but unfortunatly I am unable to deliver. I am still sunburned (and yes I used sunblock but spf 30 just wasn't strong enough) but life goes on. I'm leaving in about ten minutes to go out of town with Jessa (yes, I know her in RL) I will do my best to post when I get back. Sorry for the wait!
