LOL... that's okay, I kind of figured you were into the game you bought, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Nothing major to report here in regards to Tyranny Reborn but I realized those of you who are principally Trek fans might not know what Mara's YT-2400 looks like, so...

Chapter 7 of Tyranny Reborn is now online. It's been done for a while now - I just forgot to actually publish the danged thing once school resumed.

You already know what I thought of the new chapter. :) Great work as always. :thumbsup:

How are the people on the other sites taking what you did to Leia in this latest chapter?

Frick. I dunno how I failed to notice this and then respond...

For the most part, I've had a positive reception in regards to this direction I've taken with her. A couple of people have expressed their hopes she'll get over it quickly, and I've interacted with a couple of other people who were hesitant about it, although they generally agree its not OOC for her. If nothing else, I've certainly got people interested in the direction of the story...

Unfortunately as you know, I'm not able to even really look at chapter 8 for another ten weeks or so (depending on whether I get the info I need for my HistRes class, get a good solid thesis, get the outline done using these primary sources, and get the paper written with a quickness), so there will be a really long delay before the next installment.

Hey, at least they're for the most part liking what you're doing. And I think it doesn't hurt any that you do present a realistic reason for her to go in that direction, and not do it because of a dream of something which may or may not take place...

And no worries about not answering sooner, I know you're busy with your paper.

Chapter 8 of Tyranny Reborn is now online. Instead of actually working on the important stuff (i.e., the "must pass" class I'm taking, I spent all day Thursday writing 'cause the Muse body tackled me and wouldn't let go until I finished this chapter at 0330 in the damned morning (on Friday)...

So did everyone love that scene with Lando, Luke & Mara? It's definitely my favorite scene so far (if I had to choose one as my absolute favorite)...

She did it to me again. That Muse is evil... (fortunately, I've been pretty focused on school work today - been at it since around 1100 and still not done yet)...

Anyway, Chapter 9 of Tyranny Reborn is now online. You know what's really scary? Not including chapter titles (18 words there), this one story is over 76,000 words and there are still three chapters to go...

Well, no one can say that you can't write a novel-length story, Rigil... and just think, you've still got two more stories after this one's finished to write. :D

At least you should be done with your research paper before you have to think about writing them...

And we've got the set up for a fairly climatic next chapter, between what Luke and the gang are going to be doing and Leia finally having her proof that Fey'lya was involved in some less-than-scrupluous dealings... :) Ought to be one wild ride...

And I love the Noghri guys with their little cracks about what Luke and Mara are doing together. And the training with the lightsabers was hilarious... especially the part with the pillow... :guffaw:

Hopefully your Muse will give you a bit of a break, at least for a little while, so you can get some of the stuff you need to do done.

Since I'm about to vanish from online for the rest of the weekend, I went ahead and posted the update.

Chapter 11 of Tyranny Reborn is now online. Not including chapter titles (20 words there), this one story is just under 97,500 words and there are still one more chapter to go...

Now, as long as your research paper doesn't end out being 100,000 words long... :P

Nah, just teasing. I'm impressed by how much you've managed to cram into this story without having more words in it, actually.

Hopefully the Muse will at least leave you alone so you can get caught up on your schoolwork, now that you've got the climax of the story written... :)

I stumbled upon the site tvtropes.org last night and was stuck there for hours. There I found this entry about Fix Fics that has a mention of your Star Wars fics, Rigil (scroll down a bit):

Quote:
 
This troper considers Sidereal and Tyranny Reborn to be noteworthy examples of Star Wars Fix Fics, in that the author explicitly states that they are AU according to how he wanted the franchise to go and specifically named Dark Empire, the Jedi Academy trilogy (which these stories are specifically to override), New Jedi Order, Dark Nest, and Legacy of the Force as what he was avoiding. (Sidereal begins five weeks after the end of the Thrawn trilogy.)
