Index Clone Story Index v2. New Topic 12/25: New Story added and open for suggestions

Sorry for the long delay. The sock-wearer was locked away in an online game.

Again, no submissions to this index.

But a new topic, may it spark discussion.


[hl=darkred]Clone Quotes[/hl]

Have you ever come upon a quote or something similar and thought: Now that is (my) clones down to a t?
Share them with us.
Add a few words if you like.

 

"So what if I Sergeant Kal's boys can speak Mando? We all should have been flashed a number of non-basic languages. For three million guys being thrust into the galaxy, we can be pretty bloody one dimensional sometimes."
- Aviss, RC-2608 (OC) to members of his orginal squad during the final weeks of training before the Battle of Geonosis.


(maybe I missed the point of this excercise... )

 

A lovely quote.

Of course you did, when don't you, Ale?
But nobody said clones can't make quote that describe clones perfectly.

I'll venture something completely non-SW related:

We may be the haunted men
but we will hold our heads high when
we're walking down the street of dreams
- The Damned, Street of Dreams

Considering each of my stories can be called a 'street of dreams' it works very well. Also with the connotation that 'walking down the street of dreams' simply means 'to die'.

 

Only the dead have seen the end of war - Plato

Considering I keep killing off my favorite clone, this might be appropriate, but I see it more as the way a person in command would look at their own men.

 

Eh, clone thread? Why didn't I see this earlier?...
Well... kind of new here, but I guess my username speaks for itself...

Quotes...er...


As to the index, I might contribute something at some point - currently working on something sporadically. And then I have to figure out PMing...

 

rise thread


hey, are there any vode out there still writing killer clone/mandalorian action fics?

There used to be a smorgasbord of authors; CodyMon, Kudzu, etc. Where have all the action guys gone? Is there any new blood?

 

Welcome CT.
Looking forward to finding your pm in the index's inbox.
Did you find a quote by now?


@Ale

Kudzu is not around much (if at all) anymore. Preid this thread from his fingers.
Cody just resurfaced in the OC Revolucion, you're the boss there, make him come here.

New blood seems to be far and few between, and also avoiding this thread.

I'll return to write about Dave in a bit if that counts for anything.


Quote: human, everything but free - [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtlB00UdIDY]Behind The Scenes, Human [/link]

 

Don't know if this counts, but...

?I LIKE BLUE.?
- EDPM-3900578 (OC droid)

I think I'll keep looking...


New blood...well...I'm not exactly a fast writer...

 

I might eventually find myself inspired to do at least a Viggie about a Clone Trooper or Two. Because I'm so attached to Karen's work myself I might try and go in a completely different direction just to entertain myself

"I love it when a plan comes together" - Hannibal from the A-Team

 

You give me the bunnies, Rob.
But since it's your quote I will patiently wait for the story where clone-sarge says it. It's a lovely image.

 

I actually have something in mind for the post Order 66 era, but I don't think I'll start including the A-Team quotes lest I need to "Pity the fool!" and pay Mr. T some royalties.

 

10 "Ale points" if you can find a way to fit in "I ain't gettin' on no plane!"

 

LMAO! Love the idea of clones as the A-team! Can't wait to see it!

 

Okay, here's the deal: should I get a season of A-Team I'll do a kinda crossover with a clone squad acting like the A-Team. I can even see the names: Boss, Face. Mad Em and B(ad)A(aaaah-, can't say that here).

BA: I ain't gettin' on no plane!

Boss: I love it when a plan comes together. You drive, BA.

Mad Em: Nuts! Friends!

Face: *headdesk* What did they put into your vats, vode?

 

Last line is about right...

The "plane" in "I ain't gettin' on no plane!" would have to be changed to something else though. (Gunship, starfighter, dewback, rancor... )

 

OK, non-SW-related quote here...

"No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee."
- John Donne

Fairly popular literary quote; actually applies to all human societies/people in general.

Thoughts?

 

I think that quote can apply two-fold.

Of course the whole "one man is part of a bigger society" can reference to each clone soldier's overall piece of the GAR itself, and not one is more imporant than the other.

On a grander scale, there is the notion of how although not naturally concieved, clones ARE a part of the bigger picture of humanity, and shouldn't be dismissed as not.

 

I am happy to finally have another story to add to the index.
Take note and have a look at:
