Saga New Stories Index: January 2008

Hello, and welcome to the 2008 January New Stories Index for the Saga Board!

My name is lazykbys_left and I'm subbing as the New Saga Stories Indexer for the time being.

The following paragraphs are totally inaccurate since I'm compiling this list in February, but if you pretend it's still January and keep quiet about it, maybe no-one will notice.

This index will be updated daily with new fan fiction stories from this board for the current month. At the end of the month, this thread will be added to the master list along with those from the Before the Saga and Beyond the Saga boards.

New stories will be added to this list as I find them. Hopefully I won't miss any, but you're welcome to send me the info for your fic via private message. Also, it would help a lot if you would put the following information into the first post of your fic.:

New Saga Stories for January 9, 2008


Title: A Thousand Nations
Author(s): Battlehymn_Republic
Timeframe: ANH ~
Characters:
Genre: AU
Keywords:
Summary:
Foreword: I first got the idea for such a project after I read several excellent Star Wars alternate universe stories in Fanfiction.net, and decided to create a neat fusion AU of my own which could contain the largest number of possible factions and groups all jostling each other for power. Basically, writing this AU is a bit like playing a game of Rebellion in which one takes characters and concepts of the original series (plus the EU) and remixes it to one's liking. However, in this case, I had far more sides than the mere Rebellion and the Empire! I must confess I had the political and astrostrategic ideas in mind first, then the placement of secondary characters from the EU, and then how the original characters could fit. Here's hoping you enjoy this.
Notes: [1] marks ideas and elements that I have borrowed from Darth Yoshi's very excellent Infinities series. [2] marks ideas and elements that I have borrowed from Darquecyder 6's "A Simple Decision" series. Both series are of the type of SW AU kind that I like to classify as "holistic;" they basically incorporate loads and loads of characters and concepts from the EU and use them to maximum effect, rather than your typical alt-Obi-Wan love story. Interestingly, [1] was written from 2002-2005 and has a very different rise of Palpatine, while [2] was written only a few months ago, and is so up-to-date it references the upcoming Force Unleashed games.


Title: The unspoken rules
Author(s): Toki-chan
Timeframe: PT
Characters: Elian (OC), Neko (OC), Yoda
Genre: comedy
Keywords:
Summary: A Jedi youngling hugs Yoda by accident.
Notes: Sorry accidentally pressed enter! Well this is the first story I put up here, so give me your best or worse thanks!


Title: The Days of Hoth Pt. 1: A Memoir of Imperial Army Blizzard Force Ar

Notes 2: This story features a principle OC of mine named Tadgh Maitland. He's the protagonist of my flagship OC series, 'The User'. If you're interested in reading more the links are in my bio
Notes 3: Obviously this is only the opening post of a longer story. I'm planning to run updates as my entries to the OC Challenges this year, so expect to see a wide variety of themes and content as the story is updated Also, expect long waits between updates as the challenges are run once a month. However regular readers know this is just a ruse to disguise my poor posting habits!
