It was October of 2003. The
New Jedi Order was ending and I was starting a Star Wars fanfiction series. It was called
The Feigned. It was originally supposed to be one story and the song "Simply Being Loved" by BT
made me do it. The bad guy (who was originally just a placeholder), Gadell, was gonna die. I had too much fun with the whole thing though. I started writing a second story. I stopped writing it so close to the end and sort of abandoned it. One day I was bitten in the ass by it, that damn writing bug, and I finished the second story and started a third. This was in May of 2007. I've written a little here and there since then.
I'm in the middle. Stuck. Just about abandoned it, like I do with
too many things I start and don't finish.
To break this streak, I'm finishing this damn story --
this damn series. I'm finishing this trilogy because I've put too much time into it to let it die like thissssss. Oh yeah, reading it back now I know there are moments of absolute dorkishly horrible cheese and moments of wtf crack and moments of total squick (lol Jacen and Jaina almost kiss in disguise I still love it) and my writing style is probably just as ghetto now as when I started but damn it,
I AM FINISHING THIS BITCH.
The first story had 58,942 words. The second had 95,538. And this one has 63,218
so far.
I will not stop this
until I'm done.
Here are the stories: who is in them, some pairings(?) and some possible story tags. Heh. XD
