The Critic Returns

This week I am taking two days off to see an old friend. But I didn’t take time off from this. Mixing business and pleasure is what I like; reading and reviewing is exactly what I like to do. Without further ado…

From Fanfiction.net we start off with some of the original team getting back together with Revan in Fearthainn is Letting Go and Bastila still suffering from her fall in Helena L’s Hiding

kotorfanmedia scores several times this week; Lashowe’s reason for becoming a Sith Kosiah A Different World two reprise picks from JediDHW The Watchmen of Deralia and Could You Really? a glimpse into Sith duplicity with Qas’s Weakness a drunken Revan remembering with siempre’s Source of Origin: Chapter I

And the reprise pick by Marin Dakari with For Honor

Well four days off, and a good friend in town. Signing off…

Another good week. I was able to send a copy of my book to the Frankfurt book Fair. Any of you there in the 2nd week of October should tell me what you think. As always you’ve come through here, because I have quite a selection to show to you all.

From Coruscant Entertainment Center Tysyacha scores with an interesting dinner party in
Millennial: Chapter I

From Fanfiction.net we have the dark side dominating with Miss Becky’s Midnight followed by Aliisza’s A souleating problem and ending with the tying winner for best of the week, The Lady Revan with Falling away

kotorfanmedia wasn’t left out because Turtle gave us Closer. Rose07 is finally back with Confession. Our other Best of the week goes to RogueLadySabyne for Sithy Sithy Heart and Rex rounds it out with Doubt

So payday and a new story calls. Signing off…

This week we’re dealing with changes at work. Fellow workers have donated money and because of them I am sending a copy of Wanderer: Gryphonrider II to the Frankfurt book fair. Those interested can go to Lulu.com, put in the title, and see what I’m talking about.

We had some good stuff, but even our two picks did not make me that enthusiastic. I think this is the first time I have ever not had a personal favorite, but it had to happen sooner or later.

From Coruscant Entertainment Center we had Revan Sama returning with the reason guys are not the best to tell stories with Bedtime story Star wars KOTOR version and from Fanfiction.net
We have Zaalbar’s first life debt with Strict31’s
Shadowlands

Well I’m off, but of course you knew that gentle reader…

So many things I should do… It is now a week after my birthday. The weather has settled down to humid and muggy, odd weather for the desert. My days stretch endlessly. There was a bright point where a co-worker tried to assist me in sending a bokk to the Frankfurt book fair but all you need is one person whining to stop that, and in every supportive groups, you always have a few, so it may not fly.

My primary joy has been two web comics, one I knew for years and came back to, and a new one I learned about only last month; they are Sluggy Freelance, which has been going since 1997, and the Devil’s Panties which has been around since 2002. Check them out if you’re is a silly mood, and no, as the disclaimer says, it is not Satanic lingerie.

So on with the week’s review…

From Coruscant Entertainment Center we have a new author Revan sama with The tainted love of a blind doll

From Fanfiction.net we have the descent of Revan into darkness from Djinn Slashfen’s Dark Knights
And the Reprise Pick from Allronix with Almost Dawn

Over at kotorfanmedia we have the start of Dustil’s tale with Before the Dawn, Part 1 by Binary Star and our best of the week with Snugglebunny’s Plot Twists, Prologue

Well, payday, and there is a book at Barnes and Noble with my name on it. Signing off…

Another week is passed, and on Sunday I am a year older. There was a grass roots movement at work to assist me in paying the registration necessary to enter a book at the Frankfurt Book fair next month, but it ran into one whiny voice. Plans are still underway to collect the money but I am not sanguine. I may spend the money just to thumb my nose at the whiner.

It is hot, and we have at least two months more of it, and I have finished yet another column for you all, so let’s get this started.

From kotorfanmedia we begin with Ninjer
and Sic ‘em, Jedi Boadicea gives us Bastila’s mind with Consequence

Over at Fanfiction.net risokura has Revan one her way with My Promise

And pick of the week goes to Jiara’s old but good The Gift

Time drifts on, and I must keep up. Signing off…

Approaching my birthday, hot as blazes, and we have a new Operations Manager for the campaign. Life flows on, as does the column.

This week the best were few, but we had them; all from kotorfanmedia. We start with the reprise pick
Allronix’s Payback, then Karacat takes us back stage with The Sith Lords: Behind the Game. Kitome give us the reason for Kreia’s banishment with Bingo and Jedi Boadicea wins best of the week with Final Days

Well enough time to finish my coffee, and I’m out of here.

More changes, but everything is the same still with me here. Work goes on, and I am now expanding three of my works in progress in small increments.

But I am tireless in my duty to you, what fans I have, so we go on to this week’s best.

From kotorfanmedia we have a different take on the end game with SaturdayInAugust’s Vacation, my foot! and the Krayt dragon with Ellagne’s Dragon's Wisdom

From Fanfiction.net we have something old and something new with Sera Terranova’s Langauge of Love and our best of the week with Prisoner 24601’s Chasing Redemption

So on with my life. Signing off…

Coming up on the 4th of July weekend, and it’s hot enough to consider frying eggs on the sidewalk a good idea. At least there is air conditioning in the building. I found some good stuff to look at so here goes.

From Fanfiction.net we have Revan’s going to the dark side in The Lady Revan’s Dark Changes

Then at kotorfanmedia I ran into a number of those who I reviewed before I created the Pick of the week, so belated hats off to David Gaider for Denouement, Zk273 who gave us the seriously amusing Ask HK 47 and Caritas0 who gifted us with When All is Said and Done Jumping back to the present we have Faltallon’s search for Revan in
A Bad Day in Paradise and Jiara’s bizarre May the Farce Be with You

But best of this week goes to Scythe404 for Jabba's Palace - Original Cut

Well, back to editing my other works. Signing off…

You’ve no doubt heard the term, use ‘em or lose ‘em, right? I had that problem with the 1st of July coming up. You see while I am allowed 80 hours of paid time off, anything not used by the first of July is pruned off down to 40. I was looking at this happening so I did something I rarely do; I took two days. That is why this review is late today, since I seriously slept in. Then I started reviewing again at kotorfanmedia when I should have gone to fanfiction.net so I have four in the can for next week at least. But for all of you out there here’s what I found this week…

From kotorfanmedia we had a slew of fairy tales set in our favorite universe. It leads of with Wook’s Bedtime Story, Midnight Hawk with Imago: A Tale Of Two Sith. and the Reprise pick from Allronix Revan's Gift

Over at Fanfiction.net we had the Reprise pick from gekkeiju In your Dreams, part 1 of 2

Best was split, and both for the silly and outrageous. Arrow with Malsel and Revtel and SawHawk
with Star Wars and the Honey Pot

Well, I am going to do absolutely nothing for four days. See you all next week…

Another week of work, and looking forward to a couple of days off starting Sunday. My family is talking more, but anything is more than nothing. I had mentioned I might have to add ‘baby catcher’ to my resume, but the State of Nevada stepped in and she’s covered, so the baby has been born, and I wasn’t within a mile of her when it happened.

I am drifting like a leaf on a stream, and the thing that focuses me wonderfully are those who have posted their work, so here I go…

From Fanfiction.net we have the turning of Malak from Kusco with The Fall of Malak

From kotorfanmedia we have HK going off on a tangent with Ghostie’s HK-REDUX - Part 1 – BAD MEMORIES What got Canderous moving again with
TwilightMan’s The long, sad death of Canderous Ordo, pt.1 a very young mission betrayed with Prisoner 24601’s
A Bedtime Story and a reprise pick and pick of the week, Karacat’s fairy tale KOTOR Fairy Tales: Puss in Boots

Well it’s payday and the world awaits. Signing off…
