How does Zakarisz Ghent stay so scrawny despite a Slicer's lifestyle? Tell us how!

 

Me, too. Ghent went almost entirely without mention during the whole Yuzzhan Vong war and the NJO series. His creator, Timpthy Zahn, and recently Troy Denning have been the only ones to give him alot of attention. I guess it makes sense, as Ghent couldn't do much to slice bioware technology. He does have some very good scenes in the Dark Nest trilogy, and I'm hoping they'll do something with him in Legacy of the Force.

But there's acres and acres of space for us fanfic writers to play with him! I can feel a few bunnies lurking on the fringe already.

 

I Ghent!

 

You know, we really needed a thread for Ghent. I'm glad we finally have one.

 

Yep, he has a first name. I discovered this many months ago when I was doing research for my Ghent fic. The most surprizing thing about him though, that I didn't get from the books, is that he has BLUE hair, and tatoos on his forehead. That wasn't on wookie-pedia back then either.

I hope it's ok if I post a little Zahn comic correct blue haired Ghent fanart here. [image=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/spiritofeowyn/KasritGhentfanart2.jpg] http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/spiritofeowyn/KasritGhentfanart2.jpg

The 'me thinking he has brown hair' version is in my fic. What color eyes do you think he has? I don't remember any mention of that.


I love my cute oblivious slicer man.


He stays scrawny because he forgets to eat, and has general male computer geek metabolism.

Yay! I'm first on the List!

SpiritofEowyn, I've indexed your great story!

You're right, Ghent was born in 'The Saga' era, but there's always timetravel fics. I'm keeping a placeholder just in case.

 

Up!

 

Good morning, Slicer Fans!

If you have Hyperspace at starwars.com, I highly recommend that you take a look at Handoff by Timothy Zahn. The fiction section is indexed by date, so look for it around July 2004.

Slicer meets Hand meets Karrde... good stuff!

And for your free use:

Sized for LiveJournal at 100x100. I have a 50x50 version I am submitting as an icon for TFN, since there isn't any of Ghent already!

 

Still working on my challenge response. Anyone else????

 

Ghent is the bomb. Plain and simple. I'll start scrawling down ideas for a Ghent 'ficlet one of these days.

 

Here is my story for the challenge:


Gaunt Ghent

Hope you like...

JP

 

I loved it, and indexed it! Since you answered this challenge, would you like to set the next one?

 

Cool! Let me do some thinking!

 

Great, Jade_Pilot!

I think we need to let the plot bunnies loose on Ghent. Just as long as they don't get inside his gear and start chewing the wires.

 

What about....

Write a vignette about Ghent as a young child(3-6 years of age)
Must contain the words: dubious, rambunctious and nerf-burgers.

 

Consider the gauntlet thrown!
I will be looking out for all your great viggies next Friday!

 

I'm still working on the first challenge. Is it too late now?

 

No, it's never too late!

There's no real official 'winner' or deadline, but I'd like to post a new challenge a week.

I would never discourage any story on the basis of time!

 

Just started the new Ghent challenge. Anyone else?

 

Here's my attempt at explaining "Skinny Ghent."
Greater Than the Sum of His Parts

 

Sister pilot That was amazing! Great response to the challenge!
