My sincere apologies for not doing a better job of updating we're in the middle of moving from Alabama to Tennessee and my birthday was this month so the index has fallen to the back burner. I have asked Kynstar to take over updating the index and she has agreed to do so until the dust settles THANK YOU KYNSTAR!

 

You're welcome M'Lady. Once I get off work this eve I'll attempt to post some of the new info here. I noticed that some don't have summaries...so I'll post them w/o the summaries at first and take a gander at them. Hopefully the authors won't mind me summarizing the stories for them.

 

OK here are a few new ones that I spotted for the month of August so far. If there are any I have missed PM me and I'll add them to the ole listing. Also if the Genre and Summary aren't to your liking - also PM me and I'll change it up. Most stories did not have them provided so I had to.

Disclaimer: Aalto is to Dave Wolverton, as the Jedi Council is to Lucas, as Xeo Chione and Siril are to me, who has no money. Please don?t sue.

Author?s Note: ?Enter Sandman? is a Metallica song. I don?t think the lyrics have anything to do with the theme of this vig (if it even has one), but I thought the title was pretty funny in this context.

Title: Firefly

Author: Charmisjess

Notes: I posted this in Before the Saga, even though the actual 'event,' as it were, takes place in the saga, because I think it's more about the relationship as it is in Before the Saga, more than the time that the events actually happen in. Hope that is okay by fic rules.

Notes: Heehee, I'm crazy, oh I mean this amused me terribly on the way home from grocery shopping. I don't usually write stuff like this. Hmm, for the purposes of this story, Tahl is not blind (unless she's even more powerful than Yoda...). I don't own the songs below, some of which I've borrowed excerpts from. They all belong to their respective owners, and are meant to be excerpts, not the whole songs. Fren belongs to my Padawan (and himself). Anyway, enjoy!
