Before - Legends The Qui-Gon Jinn Challenge Thread : New Challenge **Qui-Gon as a kid ** updated 5/8/05

Incredibly impressive entries. Everybody has done a great job.

 

Awwww...Leona! You write G'emela better than I do now! And I too loved the understanding between Master and Padawan, and the fact that Quiggy always knows the best thing to say to make things right! Bravo!

 

Aww, Diane, that poor boy. *hugs Padawan Qui-Gon* He would just feel so awful, just like that. Poor thing, so sad. Good Dooku, trying to help, taking care of his boy. Lovely fic. He must hurt so much.

 

Quiku Challenge Index
I'm just putting in the author (in alphabetical order) and title (untitled ones use the first line). They're short enough that a summary might be longer than the haiku?LOL. I won't be doing it this way for longer postings.

Great job with the indexes Diane! They both look great!

 

Kynstar Thanks. I also wondered about what Padawns have to go through as they are learning to be Jedi knights. Must be horrific growing up with those kind of memories... As for Dooku, he's not my favorite character (going Sithy and attacking Obi-Wan makes him a bad guy in my book) but he did teach Qui-Gon well. He was much easier to write than Qui-Gon was in this piece.
Thanks.

VaderVRL64 Thanks. You picked out my favorite part of the story! I just pictured it so clearly in my head. Glad that you enjoyed it.

Layren Thanks. I was almost crying when I was writing it!

Leona Thanks so much. I thought that the listening part was at the heart of the matter as well. But he will need to come to terms with killing. And as a Living Force Jedi, it would be harder for him to do. Thanks.

AnakinsHeir Thanks.

AthenaLeigh I'm sure Qui-Gon will be hurting for quite some time to come. Thanks.

 

As per everyone's request, the next challenge will be Action Qui-Gon, any time period, any situation, AU, EU, JA, pre-JA.... well, you get the idea. Good luck and I look forward to seeing what people come up with.

Don't forget that the other challenges are open-ended.... I'd love to see more Quiku and killing - oh, that didn't sound right but you know what I mean

 

I'd love to see more Quiku and killing

Diane that sounded so mean!!!! ROTFL!

 

What?? that I wanted more Quiku or more killing or more killing Quiku. Hummmmm.

I'm still looking for a good Qui-Gon picture to put up front of the challenge thread!!! Someone out there has to be artistic. Come on now... don't be shy.

 

dashes in

These are great everyone! I'm still working on mine. Sort of. I'm in the middle of fairly drastic life changing. Well, drastic for me... So haven't gotten to the feedback proper yet. Next weekend I hope. And I do have an idea for the first kill so I am going to try to get that in. Action Qui can't get out of the bedroom at the moment thanks to the lock I have on the door...

kd

 

KD, so that where Qui-Gon has been.... LOL I hope all is well and I look forward to seeing some fics from you!!!

 

No fair, you can't keep Action Qui all to yourself! There are others who need him, too!

 

Well, she can keep Action Qui-Gon. I want Romance Qui-Gon... With his hair down!!!

 

hehehe you all can keep all the Qui(s) as long as I can keep his Master hehehehehehe!

 

OK fine. I'll let Action Qui out. But I'm keeping Malibu Qui all to myself.

I can't be the only one to think we're getting a little too Barbie here can I?

kd (who really really ought to be working and who really really is going to go away again for a few days but couldn't resist posting this one...)

 

Mmmmmmmmmmm what a lovely picture!Is it warm in here to anyone else??? *opens window* Yep that must be his Rip away outfit Leona was talking about -- doesn't really leave much to the imagination does it?

 

Um...I hope he's wearing something under those hands!

 

WOW KD!! Where did you find that one at??!!

GRRRROWL! Man oh man... crap! My fan just broke!! *Whew* it's juz way to hot in here now... *snrk*

(edit: ack... so worked up I got trigger happy)

 

LOL, Ish, he is. I've seen that debate before.

Oh dear, how did I get mixed up with such a bunch of DOLs??

 

Hmmm now if he had the hair and the beard... that'd look sooo coooooooooooool

 

GRRRROWL! Man oh man... crap! My fan just broke!!

That's why I just opened a window -- easier and less expensive than ruining your fan
