Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

One of the things I appreciate a lot about the Star Wars films is the amount of effort put into making it so that you can ascertain what planet you're on within five seconds max when looking at it. There was a lot of creative direction going on to ensure that the audience was never lost, which...

Chapter 54: This Line Of Thought Will Carry Us
"I still think we should split up at a strategic level," Jianno grumbled, barely audible over the creaking of the ship as they neared their destination in hyperspace.
"To what ends?" Nerim argued, checking over the engineering panel of the Lucky...
To an extent! But, more to the point I think it's a lesson in what type of lesson to learn. In the end TFASY is more or less a coming of age story, and I think one of the hardest parts of growing up, in my experience at least, is not exactly learning lessons, but rather in being able to tell...
Chapter 53: Being Around Her Again
For a moment, everything was quiet, and Nerim could hear the rain beating against the roof of the ship above him, the gentle roll of thunder, and the tranquil flow of the Force. The bed beneath him was soft, clean, and pleasantly warm as the air around it was...
Thank you! Funnily enough, this entire chapter is heavily tinted with Taoist thought, down to a somewhat oblique reference to the vinegar tasters, which is an old facet of Chinese art meant to depict the contrasts between Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. So in a sense it's very yin-yangy lol...
Chapter 52: The Sith And The Jedi
Nerim's hands were uncomfortably warm against the surface of the furnace, not quite to the level of burning his skin but close enough to make his brainstem scream at him. Tetha's cooler hands were pressed against the back of his, forcing him not to pull away...
AAAAAH! I knew I would do this sooner or later! It's a typo. Unforutnate! I'll fix it.
I am currently very busy with a bunch of things so there probably won't be a new chapter uploaded for another few days. It's coming though!
Not exactly! Archive Of Our Own does not allow unnumbered chapters. So for each of the interludes and vignettes, like the End Of Arc 1 Vignette: It's A Cheap Trick But It Works, I did not number them in my personal copy of the story, nor did I number them as I uploaded them onto QQ and...
Chapter 51: We Are Symbionts
Nerim pressed down on the lever with all his might, until the geologic compressor was fully sealed. It began its first round of heating, which thankfully did not require supervision or use of the Force. He huffed and shook out his arm. "That does it, right?"
"For...
Okay okay, I admit it, I am poking fun at the darksaber. I just hate it so much! To an, admittedly, irrational extent! Aaaagh! I also took the opportunity to poke fun at the "A good story. For another time." line from TFA.
I recently played Fallen Order for the first time, after avoiding it for...

Chapter 50: One Must Study All Its Aspects
After another hour or two of planning, Jianno stretched her neck and took a breath. "Alright. I've gotta stock up before anything else," she said, checking her weapons and then re-holstering them.
Nerim quite clearly felt the absence of both his...

Chapter 49: Greed Can Be A Powerful Ally
The group stood outside of The Lucky Worm as the loading ramp slowly lowered. Right away, Nerim could smell the spices, and a whirlwind of memories assaulted him. A moment before the ramp even touched the ground, he had boarded it and excitedly climbed...
Hah! Nahhhh, she knows what it's like. She doesn't wanna mess it up for him! She's cool like that.
"Whaaat?! I'm too young to be a granny! You gotta wait a few hundred years first!"

Chapter 48: Not Able To Rely On The Jedi
After a couple more hours of gaming and a few more rule variants, they had all ended up with more or less the amount of money they started with. Nerim felt himself wobble a little in his chair, and his eyes felt slower to blink and open than usual...
Chapter 47: Not From A Jedi
The flight to Saarkane was mostly silent for the first day of travel. Nobody really wanted to talk about what happened, and Nerim spent several more hours than strictly necessary alone in his hammock staring at the ceiling. He could feel the Force around him, cloudy...
Thank you! And also, interesting prediction! Most people haven't brought up Jianno or her clan, but it's always been lurking since the first Arc...
Lots of interesting ideas here too! I don't know about going right into forming a Jedi branch, but we do have two young partially-trained Force...
