This is a thread to discuss excellent Star Wars fiction, recommended by people who matter. People who don't matter need to stay the hell away. Please. If you don't mind.

First, this thread must begin with a special mention of blank101's Son of Suns trilogy, an AU story set at the end of the Empire Strikes Back where Luke is captured by Vader and brought to Coruscant for a test of wills with Palpatine. Incredibly lengthy, but is very likely the finest piece of Star Wars literature on the planet.

Part one of his trilogy can be found here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4302076/1/Into_the_Storm

Second, we need to mention the works of my Master, Publius, which can be found here:

Enjoy.

Gideon
Here are brief synopses and opinions on my Publius's work.

The First Refusal:
Based on a conversation in the Thrawn Trilogy between Grand Admiral Thrawn and Captain Pellaeon, in which Thrawn admits to having defied the Emperor a couple of times during his career.

Excellent piece and characterization of Thrawn and Palpatine. Sate Pestage is portrayed quite formidably here, too.

The First Meeting
Supreme Chancellor Palpatine meets a man who will become an important ally and eventual traitor.

This features the first meeting between Palpatine and the man who will become Grand Moff Trachta, the cyborg mastermind who will attempt to kill him and Vader in Betrayal.

A Visit From the Admiral
Vice Admiral Jerjerrod gets a meeting from one of the highest ranked officers in the Republic (and later Imperial) Navy, Admiral Screed.

A tongue-in-cheek reference to Moff Jerjerrod's lethargy during the construction of the second Death Star.

The President's War Room
A confrontation between Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and Mon Mothma.

Another excellent piece that revolves concerns Mon Mothma's (then unjustified) hatred of Palpatine.

The Good Old Days
A long lasting politician reflects on the major changes throughout the Republic's final decades.

Surely You Can't Be Serious
Explores the labyrinthine nature of the Empire's military and the interesting consequences of fudging numbers.

Before the Emperors
A powerful Moff is brought before the Imperial Ruling Council for his failures.

The Silver Fox
Part of a series of stories on the site, concerning a battle of wits between a thought criminal and revolutionary known as the Silver Fox and an Imperial Security Bureau agent determined to catch him.

Probably my favorite stories on the site. Hilarious and well written.

Return of the Silver Fox

The Silver Fox Strikes Again

The Elusive Silver Fox

Self explanatory.

Over the Side
A very chatty pilot ferries an enigmatic, mysterious man.

Another great piece.

Defender of the Empire
Set after the events of the Tie Fighter game, in which Maarek Stele, fighter pilot ace and future Emperor's Hand, is brought before the Emperor and Darth Vader.

The Chase
After Palpatine's death, Jerec attempts to eliminate his deadliest threat.

Eminence
This is a bullshit thread for a bullshit person.

The reverse psychology employed in the use of spoiler tags is clever, though.

Gideon
I bet you'd love all of them.

RE: Blaxican
Mara Jade?

Lord Lucien
Finally finished Son of Suns. It was pretty f*cking good.

For those into that sort of thing: Conquest is a well written Star Wars/Star Trek crossover. For those interested, it involves an AU timeline set post-ROTJ combined with the Trekverse during the middle of the Dominion War. It was also written by Mike Wong, which means its completely free of Trekwank.

I read part of that.

I wonder what happened to Mike Wong; he hasn't updated his site for a very long time.

^^ Isn't this bannable behavior?

Stop white knighting. I take no issue with you. I've also added hewhoknowszilch to my ignore so your besty will no longer be harrassed by me.

Hewhoknowsall
What is your problem? I won (my biggest argument was ignored by you). Is that really that bad to you? You'll lose debates occasionally. Try and be mature.

Although you probably won't read this since you put me on ignore as an excuse to not have to respond to my arguments, since you can't. Funny thing is, you seemed to be fine with debating with me (although you couldn't resist insulting me a lot) until I made my latest argument, in which I was thinking "I think I won here, this argument is pretty good". Then, at the same moment in which I posted my best argument, you suddenly stop wanting to debate.

Vorpal Ruin
That is a great idea, i'm surprised you 2 haven't ingored eachother a long time ago. Whats wrong with "white knighting"? Ive argued with Hewho before, he just isn't insulting, and you do seem you be, atleast towards him, for no reason.

I'm a psychology major. I enjoy learning why people do the things they do. I don't have a problem with you either, just wondering why you feel the need to be so aggressive and insulting towards someone else when it doesn't seem provoked.

No offence intended, i'm just a curious person.

It's actually pretty simple to figure out, at least in this case. If you were to read our argument, you'd notice that he was fine with me (well, relatively fine but still insulting me) and willing to debate until I started bringing up my best arguments. Then, he suddenly stops debating at the same time that I bring out my best arguments. Coincidence? Doubtful.

I guarantee it.

Isn't that the Dark Emperor fanfic that someone tried to argue was canon?

I'd really appreciate that. Thanks.

Upon request, I'd be happy to PM you my side as well.

It's unwise to only look at one side of an argument.






BTW, that wasn't a sock of me. Quite frankly I supect (although I may be wrong, sorry if I am) that One Free Man is trying to frame me, despite knowing that such a thing is immoral and pretty much proves to himself that he's the bad guy here, IF that's his sock, which it might not be).

stop being a bum-wipe. He asked why I hate you, since you don't hate me because you're so he wouldn't want to know why you hate me.
0.o wtf? You, and I have just worked together to prove you an idiot. I love teamwork. I'll quote you the convo so you can realize just how dumb you look:

I share Vorpal Ruin's question. Why do you hate me? Please don't say "oh cause he's a bad debater!" because a) this isn't true (yeah, you still haven't countered my 7 points, and I can easily tell that you're avoiding it because you can't answer it) and b) even if I were, what you don't understand is that THAT ISN'T A REASON TO HATE SOMEBODY!

For example: if you see a fat person, you don't go up to them and make fun of them for being fat; that's what a school bully would do.

You'll probably make fun of me for posting this, which shows that I have much more reason to hate you that vice versa: you intentionally insult whereas I don't suddenly come out and insult you. In our arguments, you're ALWAYS the one to initiate the insulting.

Oh, and don't bring up any BS about me being annoying with making spite threads, because a) when I defend myself from this argument, you guys refuse to refute my points because you can't b) that has nothing to do with, say, that NJO vs Roman Empire thread.

One Free Man
*sigh*
This isn't the thread for this.

I've already elaborated why I despise you, and gave you instruction on how to get off my shit-list.
You just take everything so personally smile

Notice how I showed my appreciation when you tried to help me, yet you never show appreciation when I try and make peace.

None of the reasons why you despise me justify the way you are treating me. You even threatened me once. Your reasons are extremely petty in comparison to your reaction.

THIS ISNT THE THREAD FOR THIS. PM ME, I WILL NOT REPLY AGAIN AFTER THIS.Originally posted by Hewhoknowsall
Notice how I showed my appreciation when you tried to help me, yet you never show appreciation when I try and make peace. here you are again proving how you are the perfect role model for a poster. Amazing how you are just so amazing. Isn't that amazing?

And no you didn't. Appreciation would have been heeding my advice. That was mock appreciation. Saying thank you; but then taking no action.

Hmmmmmmm yes they do. I haven't even done anything to you, yet.
what, before, or after the 30 day ban? link2post plz.
No, they are perfectly accurate. Calling you an idiot when you post like one is actually an appropriate thing to do.

REXXXX
No, it is not. However, this is.

YOU'RE an idiot if you think that behavior is okay. This is your final warning. If I see you harassing Hewhoknowsall ever again, you are gone. I'm sick of seeing this kind of bullshit spewing from your posts, and will not stop my mouse from straying too near the ban button next time I see it happen.

To put it more simplistically, keep your thoughts to yourself and don't insult anyone at all or you will be permanently banned from the boards.

I hope we're pretty damn clear on what I expect out of you.

Also, you've brought the thread off-topic with your mediocre attempt at contributing to the boards. Don't do that either.

Anyway, I write some fanfic from time to time. Mostly for my own personal pleasure. Hardly ever finish it.

Hewhoknowsall
Thanks Rex.

Back to one of my questions, what happened to Mike Wong from stardestroyer.net?
