Beyond - Legends Here Without You - Songfic. Awards winner. Thanks guys.

Wow, what a wonderful piece.

YubYub and TG- Protecting fangirls from hormonally gifted fanboys since 2002

 

Thanks for popping in, Daughter_of_Yubyub. As you can see, I'm still working through the grief. [opens new box of tissues]

 

Wow, that was powerful, really powerful. I'm just in awe at the way you included some eternal truths in there and made it seem so easy.

Life was, after all, never intended as home for the finished product - it was merely the forge. Yes! Absolutely right!

I liked the inclusion of "old" Anakin and the way he'd gone through the same thing that young Anakin was going through at that moment, so that he was able to help the boy sort out his feelings, and give him some advice. Good touch!

Eventually I learned from the others here to listen for your mother and your uncle reaching out in the Force so I could focus myself into the flow and be there for them." Hmm, I like that idea. Giving yourself and your strength and your compassion to the Force to be used for others. Wow. I really like that.

Complete knowledge leaves no room for hope, no test for faith, Yes! Again, absolutely right!

And most important of all, he knew love - had known love - and one day, in the twinkling of an eye, his special love would come to him again, and they would be together . . . for eternity. Aww, how sweet and -- again -- how true.

A great ending. A wonderful fic. Powerful writing. Next time I won't be so reticent to click on a songfic -- if it's from you.

 

Thanks, Jane. That means a lot to me. I think we think along similar lines about quite a few things. Yes, I'd like to think Anakin went "home" so to speak. And I'd like to think that the Force has the cumulative empathy of those who have passed into it.

Thanks for the lovely feedback - and I'm glad to think you might sample another songfic.

 

Upsy

 

Up we go again.
Merry Xmas everyone.

 

bump.

 

Thanks Yoda

 

Thanks, Jane. That means a lot to me. I think we think along similar lines about quite a few things.

You're welcome, and I think you're right.

 

Thanks for the "up", Jane. I hope everyone had a nice Xmas - and all the best for New Year.

If you want some reading over the next week - the excerpts thread for the awards is up here

So far they have the genre, length and original character categories up. No voting yet - just a chance to read and see what has been nominated.

 

saw your excerpts Tahi, nice choices Anakin commenting on how Tahiri is put together from MHR and my favorite fan fic tea party of all time from "at the oasis"

 

Thanks, Yoda. Yours look great, too. Good luck.

 

If any readers are interested in a thread for little stories, poems, "letters", non-fic items all centred on Anakin and Tahiri - then take a look here. We're just in the planning stages - so please feel free to join in.

Thanks Yoda.

Okay here it is folks - the list of nominees for the Winter Fanfic Awards. Voting begins today and runs until January 21.

You don't have to vote in all categories - although it's great if you can - and remember that you just vote for one story/author in each category. If you haven't already read the excerpts just click on the link in the advert at the top of this page.

I usually copy the list into a document and then delete all the stories I don't want to vote for. When your list of votes is ready, PM it to Jedi-2B, and that's it. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Wow Tahi!!! [face_shocked]
That was incredible!!! Great job and I liked the conversation between Anakin Skywalker and Anakin Solo. You wrote it beautifully!!!

~*Twi

 

Thanks Twi. I kind of like the idea of Anakin snr looking after his grandson. Glad you liked the conversation - they have a lot in common I think.

 

An up to see if there are any new A/T fans out there.
