It's just an idea. I thought what if we had the TFF put together a contest where we all wrote a piece of fanfiction and then we could have the mods decide who won or something. The general question is would anyone actually be interested in some fanfiction in the TFF?

Since it's all positive so far I suppose we could do entries in this thread. What would anyone like to write? I'm thinking freestyle.

Very well then let us have at it.
Since I got everyone all riled up here's what we'll do:
We'll keep our stories freestyle and preferrably short stories because I would prefer that as well. If anyone would like to have a certain era in the saga to write about then let me know. I would like to do something with clones but let's see what everyone is game for.

that's a harder question.. clone timeline suggests fighting sequences, and shooting sequences.. I will have to really think to get in that timeline as I can't write either of those. I'm game though.

Very well then since I'm the one who seems to be the leader the first entries will be related to anything you want to do with the Prequel Trilogy Era. A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G! However I am sure we all know what we can and can't do in terms of our writing and how graphic we would want to get. ROTS is PG-13 people so remember that. I'll have to start writing my own story so I shall return with one.

I haven't started yet. I always have trouble getting started. My mind is on so many things at once.

Ditto, I wish I could eat a pill that would keep me alive for a month and somehow pay my bills so I could sit around and execute some Star Wars material non stop.
I've had a general idea of what I want to do but I need to actually start to write. I will try for this weekend, we'll see.

Bring It Down
Author: GrandAdmiral_Frank
Timeframe: The Clone Wars
Characters: Blast
Genre: Sci-fi/Fantasy/War
Summary: Clone Heavy Gunner Sergant "Blast" takes a squad of Republic troops into the capital city of Praesitlyn on a mission behind enemy lines.
Smoke rose in thick rolling black clouds over the skies of Praesitlyn. A Republic LAAT/i(Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry) sped at a few feet off the ground towards the Seperatist controlled capital city. Clone Heavy Gunner Sergant CT-806/1945 or "Blast" stood calmly at attention. His squad of four clone heavy gunners, four clone troopers from infantry, and one clone medic were checking their equipment.
The bay doors on the sides of the gunship opened up and the LAAT/i or "larty" as clones called it slowed to a hovering stop. Blast was the first to jump down to the ground and then his troops followed him. Immediately they had begun to fan out from the larty finding spots to take cover. Blast watched the larty rise higher and higher and then a torpedo slammed into it from the side creating an explosion. The remaining structure was surrounded in flames as it crashed into a nearby building sending debris and rubble in all directions. Blast had just lost four brothers. It was never easy to lose a brother yet the clones had been trained to endure.
Blast made a hand gesture signaling to his squad to move out from their current position. The streets of the capital city were quiet save for the distant rumbles of battle. Buildings were covered in cracks and scorch marks proving that war was a reality on Praesitlyn. The CIS had sent its Droid Army to Praesitlyn to seize control of the ICC(Intergalactic Communications Center) and so far the Droid Army was successful. If the CIS continued to hold Praesitlyn it would mean communications within Coruscant and the Core Worlds would be severely compromised. Ever since the Grand Army had landed on Praesitlyn they had been outnumbered by the Droid Army so taking the planet back was a task for certain. The CIS had the advantage strategically on the battlefield and as a result the front lines of the Grand Army were being bombarded constantly with little or no progression for the Republic. Blast and his squad had been sent behind enemy lines to sabotage the Droid Army's HMPs(Heavy Missle Platforms) so the front line could progress. It was a suicide mission yet Blast and his squad saw it as another part of their duty.
Blast had opted for the gunship to remain under his command so that they could make runs on the HMPs however Jedi General Anakin Skywalker had declined. His reasons were that the Republic needed the lartys for extraction of the wounded and also for air support. None of that mattered now as the wreckage of the larty was well behind them. One of his clone troopers was in charge of the reconaissance on this mission and at this moment he was motioning to a building. Blast nodded and so the squad moved into the building.
Stealth was important on this mission and especially now since this building could be loaded on each floor with battle droids. The lights on the DC-15 blaster rifles for the clonetroopers lit the way as they hurried up the stairways. Blast had gone up over twenty levels when the clonetrooper on recon took them through a hallway that led to a room with three quarters of its walls gone. Debris littered the floor and the clones had to be careful to make sure that their boots did not make too loud of a crunch. In the midst of all of this tip-toeing they spotted their first target, a Sep HMP.
It hovered in the air, a brand new addition to the Seperatist Forces. It resembled a crossover of a flying saucer and an insect. Blast remembered back to his training when he had first learned to incapacitate a flying object. One phrase stood out and that was "Bring It Down" and that is what he would do now. He loaded his rocket launcher and took aim with an infrared scope. Slowly and steadily the HMP was in the crosshairs and then he squeezed the trigger sending a spiraling rocket towards the machine. Seconds later it impacted and the HMP was brought down to the rooftops of a complex.
Their first target eliminated Blast and his squadron quickly and quietly vacated the building from which the attack oriented and Blast gave his recon troop the go ahead as they reached the floor level. Inside this area cable cords hung from the ceiling and datapads with cracked screens were strung about. Some tables had been knocked over and in one spot a blood smear as wide as a poncho from Mos Espa remained to testify the violence wrought in this room. Blast checked the chrono watch on his helmets HUD(Heads-Up Display), almost ten minutes for the recon boy left.
A second after the ten minute mark had passed Blast was making hand signals for his squad to move out when the recon troop returned. He was running and making a cutting gesure by his throat, immediately the squad stopped and reverted to cover spots. Clones could communicate with each other through private frequencies in their helmets. This meant that they could talk to each other and not a sound would process through their vocalizers in the helmets to the outside world. Blast had just been told that an AAT(Armored Assault Transport) was on its way to their position, most likely to inspect their handy work on the HMP. Blast tapped his nearest gunner and the shoulder and the clone took out his launcher making his way towards an area to post up at.
Before long the AAT had rolled into into their line of sight with its engines rumbling and roaring. Its top hatch opened up to reveal a yellow striped battle droid commander. The commander pulled out a pair of macrobinoculars and began to survey the area. As this happened the gunner shot off a rocket that plowed right into the tank sending it crashing almost on its side into a building which knocked down most of its foundations which brought down many other levels. Dust rolled out everywhere and it reminded Blast of Geonosis when the Trade Federation Droid Control Ship had been brought down. Once the dust settled Blast had the team move out.
The next target was hovering well above a street heading slowly to a position. Blast had his squad move to the sides of the streets seeking shelter in alleyways and doorways. He crawled down into a crater that housed half of a flash speeder and loaded his rocket launcher. The HMP was above his position now and slowly with calm to his breathing he lifted the launcher and shot it bulls-eye in the middle. The droid machine exploded and then it wobbled and crashed into a skyscraper two or three blocks away. On to the next target.
Blast and his squad went through another building complex this time that lead out to a courtyard in between that building and another. An HMP was visible on Blasts right side but it was further out which meant they would have to get closer. Time was of the essence here however his men would probably need a fast drink so he ordered them to hydrate. One of the clone troopers sat down on a pile of rubble and leaned against a wall drinking from a canteen. Blast heard cracking and his head snapped in the direction of the wall as it completely collapsed taking the clone with it. Immediately Blast had drawn his DC-15 blaster carbine and pointing it at the cloud of dust. What the clones saw then was a group of ten SBDs(Super Battle Droids) and that was a challenge for a clone no doubt.
There was no thought or contemplation just both sides erupting into an exchange of red and blue laserfire that illuminated the area magnificantly. Two of his clones had been standing right in front of an SBD once the wall was brought down so they had cut them in critical cords at close range wth vibroblades. Their victory was shortlived as two other SBDs had shot them down. One of the gunners was in safe range to fire off a rocket which eliminated five of the SBDs leaving three more. Half of Blasts squad had been cut down by the time that last explosion had occured so it was four on three.
The medic through his medkit like a boomerang at an SBD drawing his blaster and shooting the droid repeatedly in the chest. As the SBD went down it was able to get off a shot right under the medics helmet. Another SBD had shot down his last gunner leaving him and another clone trooper. Blast had just taken down the SBD in front of him with a kick and repeated blasterfire. The last clone trooper was cut down but had managed to cripple the SBD somewhat. Blast moved in and then it happened, the SBD had composed itself enough that it could get off a shot with its rocket wrist launcher that hit Blast at the feet. The rocket had come at him and there was nothing he could do about it; he did finish the job on the SBD.
The explosion was unreal and Blast was lifted from his feet. He landed in excruciating pain and the last thing he saw as he lay on his side was the HMP in the distance. Their mission was to eliminate them but considering it had been a suicide mission from the start Blast had been proud of himself and his men. His eyes closed and he was sure they would stay closed.
