2 New Stories for January 1, 2008

Title: A Life's Uncertainty
Author: mavjade
Characters: Several OC's
Timeline: Right before Darth Bane rose to power
Notes: This is for the Dear Diary 2008 Challenge
This is the story of Riendi, a former Twi'lek slave. She was invented for a Role Playing campaign that lasted for well over two years. There will be two main characters along with Riendi that I did not create, but I am using with permission.
This is the first story I've ever tried to write in Before, so please go easy on me wink (Needless to say, mav is a little nervous about it!). I don't know a whole lot about this time period except what we talked about in my RPG, so please forgive any gross errors on my part. Thought I wouldn't mind you pointing them out, so I can learn more about this time period!
If you would like PMs when I update, just let me know!!

Title: The Secret Diary of a Padawan
Author: moosemousse
Timeframe: A few years before TPM
Characters: OCs, with mention of canon characters
Genre: A diary, it will cover lots of genres.
Keywords: Tapani, OC, diary, journal, padawan, Jedi, academy
Summary: A padawan makes a bet with another padawan to keep a diary for a year.
Notes: This is a response to the Dear Diary Challenge 2008, a challenge to keep the diary of a character for a year, I have chosen an OC Padawan in the Tapani Sector. While this is set in the Tapani Sector it is not known where exactly inside the sector it is. The sector itself is in the region known as the Colonies, just outside of the Core Worlds region. Looking at this map, it's next to the word 'Colonies'. It's main reason for being set there is that I like the names of the days and the months.
As the diary progresses I'll be expanding the notes to include information that's relevant to the latest entry, which is why it has it's own post.

Title: With Swoop and Stylus
Author: Lilith Demodae

Title: Diary of a Space Pirate
Author: C1-J2
Author's Notes: This is my first time trying an actual 'voice' for a character, so if it's too hard to understand I'll either add a translation or omit the voice. As always, criticism and suggestions are welcome! Updates will (hopefully) be roughly every two weeks.
Disclaimer: I own the OCs and the plot, everything else belongs to Lucasfilm.

Author Notes: This is my entry for the 2008 Dear Diary Challenge I hope you enjoy this take at our favorite Jedi pairing.

Title: My Fan Fiction. UNGOVAGINA JUNGLE ATTACK ON CAPTAIN PEINER
Author: JameSmith

Title: My Republic Soldier
Author: Darth Jaina Solo
Timeframe: Pre-KOTOR
Genre: Romance, Drama
Characters: Morgana, Carth Onasi
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Summary: A story of love and discovery in a time of war.
Rating: PG
Notes: This is written for the 2008 Dear Diary Challenge. I?ll try to update every Saturday I?m going to try to be as canon as possible with this, but I've never read the KOTOR comics. The idea came to me after I finished playing KOTOR for the first time.
This is in a diary format. It will span over a decade, so parts of it will move really fast. I hope I do the story justice, but we?ll all just have to wait and see for that!

Disclaimer: All characters belong to George and Lucasfilm; I?m just playing in their sandbox

4 New Stories for January 8, 2008

Title: The Great Today
Author: saichen aka Juli
Genre: AU(ish)
Timeframe JA / 33 BBY
Disclaimer: If I owned Star Wars I wouldn't be here posting this, now would I? But I do own Saila.
A/N: Written for the Dear Diary 2008 Challenge.
The whole thing might be a bit confusing, at first. I have muchos of back story, but revealing everything at once would be tacky. ^____^ Basically, Saila is a Jedi Padawan who had a brush with the Dark Side. This thing picks up at that. I've tweaked the timelines, so 'nuh' on you.

Title: Tuur de tuur, or Day by Day.
Author: Niobe Asha
Characters: OC, possible others
Summary: The passing of days, as viewed by one Mando woman during the war with the Republic.
Author Notes: This is actually based largely on a character I created for a Star Wars RPG. I keep thinking of these great things for her to say and talk about, but they never fit. Another note, the game is actually set post-Clone Wars, but that won't work here. She's a bit erratic and flutters in and out of Mando'a, so try to keep up. Anyways, enjoy!

Title: Something Always Goes Wrong
Author(s): moosemousse
Timeframe: before TPM
Characters: OCs
Genre: Humour
Keywords: Problems, travelling, humour
Summary: Two young Jedi experience difficulties while travelling around.
Notes: Written for the 'Essential Guide to OCs' January challenge.

Title: Knights of the Old Republic: A World Away
Genre: Drama
Author: Obi-gone
Main characters: Revan, Bastila, a few of the usual crew for Kotor 1, and more.
Summary: It is four months since the events that occurred on the Star Forge. The Sith are now scattered without a Dark Lord to lead them, the death of Darth Malak and the destruction of the Star Forge significantly weakening both their Empire and their Order. Revan and Bastila, refusing to denounce their love for each other, have been stripped of their title 'Jedi' by the Council on Coruscant. Even so, the Jedi Council has allowed them to take refuge at the Temple on Coruscant and live peacefully with the promise that they will not interfere with Jedi business.
But the memories of his time as Dark Lord of the Sith are returning to Revan, and with them pieces of the rest of Darth Revan's plan to destroy the Republic and the Jedi. Soon, Revan finds himself in a struggle with whether to follow the source of these memories or to leave the matter with the unstable Jedi Order.
Notes: This is, essentially, my thoughts on how the Knights of the Old Republic series should end. The final story in the trilogy, as it were. I have taken a few liberties with the canon details of both the end of Kotor 1 and other events mentioned by other sources. But I certainly wouldn't call this AU, as the differences are minor. I thank in advance any who take the time out of their busy lives to read this. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing it.
