General Fan Fic Discussion [Archive]

Hi all!

I never really venture in here but I wanted to say hello and open a topic for just Fan Fic chatter.

My reasons are selfish, however as I have written up a couple of pieces of Spoilerish Episode III pieces that you might like if you're into Episode III and spoilers.

These are not what's going to happen in the film but what I might personally enjoy seeing so while they are spoilerish, they're not what you're going to see in May, exactly.

Anyhow, if you don't fear spoilerish stuff, please head over and have a read. Post in those threads with your thoughts if you would as I probably won't check back in here too often.

Thanks!

Sam Kenobi

02-20-2005, 04:52 AM

Hey, y'all got my creative juices flowing. Sort of. Even though I would probably have done a NJO story, I don't know enough to write one about the main characters. But I could probably spit something out. But for infinites? I would probably write a series of articles, maybe with excerts of certain important scenes. As for other possible infinites, the two that seem very intriging are both rejected by Lucas ideas. 1) Han's death in RotJ, and 2) Luke's death in VP. Maybe even 3) Mara's death (from the Coomb Spores).

After seeing Revenge of the Sith last year, I was tempted to write an alternative script for it. I couldn't stand Grievous and I was disappointed with the characterisation for Padme, the fact that Mon Mothma's scene was cut out and that we hardly got to see anything, if at all of Kashyyyk and Alderaan. I've been busy with my original character fan fiction saga, which is why I never got around to doing it (and also because it would be far too tempting to replace Obi-Wan with Flik Sivrak, my main OC!)

darth_clorox, as far as I know, you have to be a professional writer first, with a lot of novels under your belt before they'll even look at you. If you look on Mike Stackpole's site, www.stromwolf.com, he say's you have to be invited to write one by whoever's in charge of the novel writing side of things before you can officially write a story. It's to make sure that the novels they publish are of a high quality (though that isn't always the case - I've read fan fics that are so good that they should be published properly and some novels that should be fan fiction!)

If you're serious about wanting to write, you've got to create your own characters, in a universe of your own creation, etc. Although I love writing fan fic, I know that it'll never get me anywhere commercially, but it's good practice (some professional authors might tell you differently, though there's probably really no right or wrong answer to that), because of that, you'll have to do what I've said above.

Incidentally, I find it difficult to write characters like Luke Skywalker, Obi - Wan, etc, because they weren't created by me so I admire authors who can, whether they write fan fiction or are professionals without making them two or one dimensional.

darth_clorox

05-03-2006, 12:01 PM

I kind of had a feeling it worked like that. Too bad I'm not a professional writter. :(
But my story is safe for now. :)

I would love to see what you came up with, if for no better reason, then to compare notes with what I've done.

I, too, was disappointed with the portrayal of Padme in the film; likely more so than anyone here; and it caused me to take a detour from my original spec screenplays, to rewrite ROTS. My main focus was stengthening Padme's role in the story, but I also had some ideas about adding dimension to Obi-Wan and fixing various odds and ends. Thanks to prompting from people here and elsewhere, I've since worked on addressing Anakin's turn to the Dark Side, and have done a little bit (though maybe not enough) about General Grievous.

BTW: Mon Mothma's scene is there, though in a dramatically changed form. She appears in two additional scenes and is talked about in a third. I've also restored Lucas' cut scene of Yoda masquerading as a mud creature to evade the Clones on Kashyyyk.

I think one of the main problems I had with the film was the fact that I wanted to see the birth of the Rebellion, as I've always been fansinated with that part of Star Wars, but we really didn't see that. If that had been included, then I would have enjoyed the film much more and there would have been more continueity with the OT. I would have changed the Kashyyyk scene and had Padme and Chewbacca go through the forest like we saw with Leia and Chewie in Heir to the Empire (not that original, I know, but I would have thought it would have given Leia and Padme more of a connection. You see that many times in the films with Luke and Anakin). It was what I imagned would happen on Kashyyyk when I first heard of it being included in the film. Lucas wanted to set the last battle with the Darth Star in A New Hope when he wrote the first script for it and with the CGI technology we have today, it would have been possible to do it ROTS, when it wouldn't have been back then, so I thought the scenes would have been more extensive.

As for Grievous, I've just never liked the idea of him, anyway. I mistook him for a droid at first and laughed at the thought of a droid with lung cancer and being force sensitive, which is what the presence of lightsabres imply. A cyborg with lightsabres just seems a little too fantastic even for Star Wars and I can't help but get the feeling that it was only done just for the action sequence with Obi-Wan. It might have been more believeable if it had been Vantress, instead, (though I never worked out what happened to her. Did she die during the Clone Wars? I never read anything like that in the novels, but then I've not read all the graphic novels, yet)

MasterJedi12

05-18-2006, 01:32 PM

Vantress does die. I read it in the chronology that was released. I actually started writing a fic based during the Clone Wars. It was an idea I was toying with for some time after watching the prequels for the umpteenth time and that was years ago. :lol:

Hello, again. I'm the one who did those ROTS rewrites, the latest version having the title "Episode 3.2."

Now, belatedly, touched up scenes, and a few new ones, for AOTC have been forming in my head. This, especially after an argument I had with someone over how much "backbone" Padme has at that stage of the story. So, for my next trick, I think I'll be rewriting AOTC. I'll make sure, in this version, that Padme is seen has having plenty of backbone, to be more in line with how she is in "3.2." I'll also take a crack at making Anakin and his love story with Padme more realistic, especially in the scene where he confesses to her what he did to the Tuskens.

Please feel free to make suggestions for things you would like to see in an AOTC remake.

I forgot to mention here, though I have elsewhere, that there's an epic in-progress on TheForce.net that I'm following closely, titled "Thwarted Fate: The Book of Descent." It's currently taking place during the Clone Wars, and couple of the chapters in "Volume II" are about Padme going to Kashyyyk.

Another member, Erick Landrider, had what I thought was a good idea. I just couldn't use it at the time. It was to have Jango Fett survive AOTC and become the commanding General of the Separatists, thus eliminating Grievous. Imagine Jango facing off against multitudes of himself. And, if he gets into trouble, he can hide in plain sight by infiltrating the Clones and posing as one of them. Also, imagine a final fight between Obi-Wan and Jango on Utapau. Obi-Wan kills Jango in a "so uncivilized" way, and then sees a very upset Boba standing there.

For your AOTC script, my main request would be to smarten up Mace Windu's dialogue -- make him less 'action hero' Jedi in his dialogue and maybe a bit more articulate. I'd also work on changing the sequencing a bit with the Obi-Wan mystery and the Anakin & Padme scenes to build a bit more suspense.

Marko Ragnos

Thanks for the tips.

One thing I'm thinking of for Mace is when he kills Jango Fett, he turns to see a very upset Boba standing there. Boba might start cursing Mace in a way that's predictive of what will eventually happen to him.

I'll look for dialogue to make smarter for Mace, as I'm going through it. The same goes for some of the other characters, especially Anakin and Padme. But don't expect me to change "This party's over." It was my favorite one-liner in the movie.

Since I found it necessary to change the order of some scenes when doing my ROTS rewrite, it's likely I will do so here as well.

There's something I want to do, which I haven't yet figured out how to reconcile with the requirements of the love story, and that is the version of Padme whom I see evolving into the person you see in "Episode 3.2," would insist upon being a party to the investigation of who is trying to kill her. If she did have to leave for Naboo, she would want to stay in frequent contact (do they have secure channels?) to monitor Obi-Wan's progress, as well as developments on Coruscant concerning the threat of war. Of course, if Anakin diverts her to Tatooine, it would become harder to stay in contact.

We all know how Anakin goes into a rage over the death of his mother and the revenge he takes on the Tuskens. In this version, I'm planning a moment where Padme goes into a similar, though less violent, rage. That would be when she learns about the Clone Army and what Jar Jar Binks just did in the Senate. This would factor into her decision to stop hiding out and go into action, starting with taking Anakin to Genosis to rescue Obi-Wan.

Re: your post in my "3.2" thread, I'll look into doing something more with Mon Mothma, but I don't know yet what it would be. I think the shot of her gazing in awe is most effective, if she hasn't said or done anything earlier in the scene. But I'll see if I can insert something after that, besides just Bail Organa talking about her.

Edit: OK, I managed to squeeze a few more Mon Mothma moments into the big Senate sequence, without, I think, interrupting its flow. The affected portion of the sequence appears below under a spoiler heading. Thanks again for the input.

Im currently working on something, but im not sure how i should right it. You see im telling the story of the failings of a Sith Lord, hundreds of years after Darth Krayt, but the story is being told by the Sith Lord through his holocron. Should i write it in first person?

sharyntyre

10-29-2006, 07:48 AM

First person could be cool. I was a bit put off by I,Jedi in the begining but it ended up being a good read, IMO.

I've run across very little of that style in my mad diggings in the archives of a couple SW sites.

As far as WB goes, walks and reading is good, I like hopping on the bike and riding up and down A1A *VRoooooooomz* sometimes playing a game for a while will get the creative juices flowing again too. or a big PHATT meal.

I think I just finished my first Fan fic piece, now I just need to find a way to slice it into one of the SW sites to share....yes I am one of the members here who keeps getting the blank screen when I attempt to post new topics here at GS....
(T-bone is fairly sure it's something on my end :thud: )

If any of you peeps have a generous heart, or accept bribes, and would be intersted in helping me get this piece slapped up here, please PM me.

10-31-2006, 12:39 AM

Since Holocryons have limited AI, I would tell it third person. The interactions with the viewer, be he Sith-wannabe or adventuer, or archelogist could set the whole story up the right way or wrong way I suppose. Especially if it's an intrprid explorer who found a awy around the Force sensetive requirements to see the whole thing from an unhappy Hologram who thinks this viewer is unworthy to hear his tale but has no choice.

sharyntyre

10-31-2006, 06:07 AM

thanks to the folk who offered to help! Nef Da Bomb went to the trouble of copying the piece from TFN and slapping it up for me...

I like Konig15's idea

if it's an intrprid explorer who found a way around the Force sensetive requirements to see the whole thing from an unhappy Hologram who thinks this viewer is unworthy to hear his tale but has no choice.

that could give you a lot of room for humor.

I figure I'll post here before going off and starting my own thread, only to have it absorbed into another thread somewhere.

My posting is for author's to pose queries to the open Forum and have members and guests provide suggestions for some areas of their stories. As the paramount example, I offer my dilemma.

I tried starting a fanfic called Imperial Vendetta: Red Dragon. I used the Asset Tracking website to find a Star Destroyer with no history attached. However, I've always been bothered by the Star Destroyer I chose. It never spoke to me of a new ship that the Empire would need a secret base to construct, or that an officer already in command of a Imperial Star Destroyer would long for so much as my main villain character. So I need a new class of Destroyer, not too super-weapon-ish, but still a leap forward in Imperial destructive force, and a name to call it by. The story is set between ESB and ROTJ, so I'd rather not have an Eclipse involved...even a prototype.

After this, my main problems are conjuring up enough Alliance-allied types of freighters, many modified, but a few that are not modified, as well as a crew. I have my main ships (I think), and I need these others to give it the flair and diversity I'm looking for.
My main ship is the biggest one in the story, a Ghtroc Cargo Empress, and is captained by a Twi'lek former slave girl. I also have a wing of starfighters, two X-Wing squadrons and one Y-Wing squadron, as well as a base of (mobile) operations in mind. This is an under-supplied unit that uses cargo shipment-jacking to keep its supplies up.

I know that I want a Sullustan pilot of a Nestt-class freighter that I call Sweet Entropy. This will be unarmed and it will not fair well in the story. Part of the captains name will be Som (the first name of a guy at my work).

I have a Gymsnor-3 ship out of the twin worlds, Tralus and Talus, going by the name of Double Trouble, a play on its world of origin. I'm not sure if I want its captain/crew to be human or another species.

I have a YT-1210 named Heaven's Quest that will have a human captain named Tovor Finn, a compliment to Tovor here at the Senate. Its nicely modified and may just survive to the end of the story.

I need a captain for a Nova-Drive 3-Z called Collateral.
I need a captain for the Double Trouble.
I need another unarmed or lightly armed freighter and a captain.
And I need two or three more light freighters with captains for each.

I'm also asking for a better name for a YT-2400 that I created some time ago for my SW rpg-ing owned by a Corellian named Freeman Delta and his partner, Jalen Boom. I had called it the Star Trader, though last night at work I thought about calling the Free Trader. I don't think either fits with the intent of the character; a legitimate weapons dealer in a straight-from-factory starship for which he owes a loan to a legitimate Corellian financial institution 10% interest, and he often deals covertly on the black market where he turns his biggest profits. His partner is the muscle, and is usually on some sort of high ground when a deal is going down so he can cover his partner with a long range blaster rifle. So anyone come up with a good name for the ship, let me know.

I'm hoping that someone else will look in here and let me have a number of suggestions for the needs I've put forth. Thanks people.

01-30-2007, 05:43 PM

Let me see...

-Captain of the Nova Drive 3 Z: What about a Farghul female? I´m very bad with names...

-Same for the Double Trouble: A Duro?

-The freighter, can it be a YT-1300? With a Chiss captain...

-Other freighters: 1) An ooooold Barloz...Glowing Destiny? With a female Omwati as Captain.

2) A YT-2400....with a Trandoshan as captain...and a Wookiee as second.

3) A Cargo Baroness with mostly Zeltron crew.

What about calling that YT-2400 the Delta Edge?

About your Red Dragon...would a modified Gauntlet do?

Konig15

01-31-2007, 12:16 AM

I need a captain for a Nova-Drive 3-Z called Collateral.
Junie Corrath- female, human or Cathari or both

I need a captain for the Double Trouble.
Davin Felder- half human, half Twilek, with blue skin and brown hair along with the lekku. Maybe dispondent over his inability to have children

I need another unarmed or lightly armed freighter and a captain.
ICS Isis, spice frieghter, captianed by one of those elephant pilots from Alien, I'm thinking light pink fur with a religous bent. Goes by the name Tully. Crew is mostly human

And I need two or three more light freighters with captains for each.
Devil's Due
Wayfarer's Paradise
Dibel Mons
crews I can't do.

Tell me if you use any of these ideas. That is a lot of characters though.

I'm liking the help guys. I think I have an idea for one of the captains, but I need to figure out if there is any known naming technique for Twi'leks. My main captain, Twi'lek female Irada Vrie, I can explain away as a name given after her departure from Ryloth.

csr74, I really like the new name for the YT-2400, and I think I'll include the The in its name.
The Delta Edge

I like the Barloz Glowing Destiny, and the Omwati captain, I think I'll use it.
I can't use Wayfarer's Paradise, due to a X-Wing pilot named Wayfarer in my story.

Sorry csr, I typed without looking back up. And it doesn't help that I was reply 12 hours after seeing the post from our "Internet Cafe" at work.
They did something with their setup there so I couldn't reply when I saw it online.

Anyways, let me check on the Farghul thing and I'll get back to you. Still, I thank you for the input on the YT-2400. I think it'll work out nicely.

I edited the previous post so as to keep from confusing anyone else that may wonder in here, like Cydon. LOL

Okay, fellas...

I decided on a means to an end. The Imperial-class Star Destroyer will be called Harbinger. It will not be a different class of Destroyer, but one with a new technology. But have no fear! This new technology will not be a superweapon. You have my word on it...well...my half-word anyway.

2) A YT-2400....with a Trandoshan as captain...and a Wookiee as second.

that sounds really good.. the two would never get on though

Woah! I might read your story just for that! You do know those two species have a blood fued, right? Like...they would kill each other on the spot.

I'll take the Wookie as one my freighter captains, but no way to a Trandoshan. They aren't exactly human friendly, either.

Okay, so the ship and story will be called Harbinger...
I like The Delta Edge...
and a number of my needed characters and ships are named.
I'll edit my posting in the FanFic Imperial Vendetta to include the personalities I've done up so far.
And sorry csr, no Farghul either. I think it would cause too many problems explaining the Farghul's presence in a pre-Endor Alliance force made up of freighter captains that had their own little businesses going before the Battle Of Hoth. I am still considering the Omwati with a Barloz freighter.

I thought that individuals from many races were messing around all across the Galaxy at that time, the Farghuls aren´t so common in the stories and that´s why i suggested the female Farghul (and female Farghuls look..er...you know:drool: ). But no problem, after all it´s your story.:thumbs-up:

The lack of them being common, plus the description given them in the Thrawn Trilogy Sourcebook, gave me a no feeling in my gut. It would be difficult to write the character and stay true to the species while making the character behave the way I would desire within the confines of being Rebel-allied. I meant no disrespect to your ideas, but I don't think that it will fit the timeline and story arc I'm looking for. I do enjoy the input thus far.

I'm still looking for names for various pilots and crew hands, some of the pilots will be for the fighters. Check out the update in the story for a listing of personnel, if you haven't already.

Mmmmmh, i see, i would feel cautious if i were in your situation, too. On the other hand, wouldn´t it be a bit too restrictive to establish fixed behaviour patterns for a whole race? One might think there´s some individuality and so on...But this is a rant and has nothing to do with the topic, i feel.

Right... i'm going to write a fan-fic set around a CR90 Corvette, called Vigilance set during the end of the Clone Wars and into the Rebellion Era. So far i've got two astromech droids and one protocol droid for the story, aswell as Lieutenant.

I just need a Captain and perhaps another character, perhaps a Jedi or something along those lines.

Characters i have so far:

Lieutenant Jorran Tanis, Security Officer, Human from Kuat, 29 Years Old.
L-3P0 - Green 3PO-class Protocol Droid, Emi
R2-A2 - R2-series Astromech Droid, Aytoo, Colour: Red and White panelling
R3-L1 - R3-series astromech droid, Lye, Colour: Black and White, with a clear dome.

Okay Cassus, here are my thoughts:

L-3PO make it efeminate sounding and call it Emi (short for Emerald)
R3-L1 call it Lie, but spell it different (like Lye). This would be a standard slurring of the last alpha-numeric designation of its name.
As for a Captain. Argh! I'm having enough trouble without having to come up with people's names for others' stories. Just kidding.
Are you wanting a human, or another species? Allied with the government of the new Emperor, or to his/her home planet, or to another ideal?

Cassus Fett

02-07-2007, 03:46 PM

Im not sure about the species. I'd have the Captain allied to his/her home planet. Thanks for the names.

Hello. I was wondering if you could check out my fan fic.
outcasts - dawn of rebellion.
http://www.galacticsenate.com/showthread.php?t=16648
It takes place two years after episode 3. The main character is Elania a Jedi Padawan who survies the Temple onslaught and makes her way to meet two smugglers Cal and Rictor. Also I created a new lord named Darth Kath.

QUICK!
I need a name for a really expensive fruit! It's small, sort of fuzzy on the outside (like a Kiwi) only the skin & seed are completely edible, though if you can afford the fruit you'd probably be able to afford to throw the seed out, they don't taste good.
Basically I know everything about the this except where it came from (maybe a jungle planet?) and the name...
Anyhow

Thanks!

Well since the SW...

THis I just made up...

Call it an Apris from the small jungles of the otherwise arid planet of Haron VI. Groing on semi arid soil it basicly sucks up everything, meaning on more fertile worlds it sucks up stuff that poisons it or makes it taste not good. Essentially, it's good for growing on terraforming worlds which have access to lots of clean water and nutrient deficient soil. The favorite version of the fruit also is gown in a atmosphere 10-15% methane.

It is small and best grown in laboritories. I don't see why any food would be that expensive in SW as the technology is there to grow the crap of vines or just pop em out of a machine like so many twinkies. Agricultural Business would likely be a HUGE secotr of the economy with even just a few industrial/city worlds.
