Quotations Roulette! -- A Challenge -- Master List + Questions up on pg 20!

I'll take #147 if its still available...

I wonder how I missed this thread until now...

EDIT: Ummm, well I missed Renton Kenobi's post, so I'll take 36 I guess, if that's OK with gauss1

 

Sounds good, Yodan (assuming this is all okay with vader_incarnate) - I'll pm you the quote.

 

I'll take 24 if it's still open.

 

Rassick, 24 was taken, sorry. Stick around to see if someone decides to surrender their quote, though.

And gauss1, that's fine with me.

*goes to adjust first post*

 

Done! *whew, that was fast...*
Now I have to post it on the Saga board...

Title: All My Fault
Timeframe: ROTS

Here's mine:
Title:The Most Beautiful Thing
Author:Indra

Character:Xanatos, Palpatine
Quote:The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart. -- Helen Keller

 

Just so everyone knows ... don't panic if I don't update the first post very quickly. I just got two of my wisdom teeth removed, and I'm currently feeling like a drugged-out squirrel with a winter's supply of acorns shoved into my left cheek. Not a feeling conducive to ... well, doing anything, so sorry. I'll be back online soon.

 

If Rassik would like to participate, I have a quote. My first is already finished and posted so I don't mind offering my second.

123. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. -- Friedrich Nietzsche

 

last one's up on the saga board. introspective very short thingy (and that isn't a self description, I'm 5'10")

Very good challenge, enjoyed reading everybody's great work.

Looking forward to the next one!

Title: Beautiful Princess

Author: Toni
Timeframe: ROTS and ESB
Character: Leia, Bail Organa, Han Solo
Quote:124 "And Beauty is a form of genius ? is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation.

It has divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it." - Oscar Wilde

?And beauty is a form of genius -- is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation.

It has its divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it.?
-Oscar Wilde

Thank you vader_incarnate. This was an awesome challenge.

 

Does it have to be done by tomorrow???? I did start it but it's going to take some time.


there is no way this puppy is getting done by Aug. 31. Sometime in sept. for sure. It's about 1/2 done now. But I've always been slow so I guess I'm keeping true to form!

 

Dang it...okay, I have till tomorrow to post this. I will get it done.

I hope...

 

Grarg. Just moved back into school, and the computer with all my fanfic on it won't connect to the internet. Gotta get CIT to fix that. I have a plot bunny for a vig that I should, hypothetically, be able to write by midnight tonight. But we'll see if it can actually happen.

 

I have finished mine at long last!

Great challenge, vader_incarnate!!

Here's the link to mine!
