I'm going to put that plot bunny up for adoption when I'm through with these drabbles. Are you interested. ;)

*squirms* I would be, but I honestly don't think I could do it justice. And I've already got two massive sized AUs running about in my head. Anabasis is one of them, of course, and the other involves Anakin and Kitster as smugglers/pirates. :D It's kind of an OT-version of the PT. That one is my baby.

Thanks for offering, though. ;) And I may yet take you up on that, if the bunny bites hard.

Pirates in the GFFA PT? Me like! Will there be Padme in it?

	From: fialleril	Date: February 2nd, 2007 06:54 am (UTC)		(Link)

Will there be Padme in it?

Oh yes. :D Here's the basic gist: It's kind of like Anabasis in that the Jedi never found Anakin on Tatooine, the battle of Naboo was lost, and Palpatine took over almost immediately thereafter. But in this case, the Sith didn't find Anakin either. He and Kitster (have I mentioned that I love Kitster?) escape from slavery and eventually end up on Coruscant, working for Dexter Jettster running guns to the Rebellion. Padme features prominently as a rebel leader a la Leia (caustic wit and all). Obi-Wan's involved too, and he's much more laid back: more like Qui-Gon. Probably because he's had ten years of essentially roaming the galaxy on his own, without any restrictions.

Anyway, they'll all meet up eventually. Obi-Wan's got some hare-brained idea that Anakin might be the Chosen One, but here's the kicker: Anakin doesn't even believe that the Force exists. *grins evilly*

Well, that's the idea anyway. I'm planning to start it as soon as I finish Anabasis. *grins and points at pirate!Anakin the icon*

Oh wow! This is so beyond cool! :D And yes, I love Kitster, too. Who doesn't? ;)

	From: fialleril	Date: February 2nd, 2007 08:36 am (UTC)		(Link)

Thanks for the encouragement. :) Now I will definitely have to do it.

Yes, Kitster is great. I have a personal theory that when he grows up, he's probably the most wildly attractive man in the galaxy. ;)

Oh definitely. There's all that dark hair and lean, sharp features. And no, I wasn't lusting over Jake's playmate, just observing good genes and potential :p . And because I'm partial to Hayden, I would say that Kitster he won't be more attractive than Anakin's Greek god blond good looks, but as attractive in his own way. :p

Glad I wasn't totally off base with that one, then. ;)

Well I certainly have nothing against Anakin's looks. ;) But he's got so many fangirls, and people usually write that into fics, as well. So I thought it would be fun to take a totally random character that a lot of people tend to forget about entirely, and turn him into an intergalactic heart-throb. LOL. Or something like that. That's one of the reasons Anabasis!Kitster is a holostar. Well, that and I needed him to be part of the artist group so he could meet up with Anakin again.

Just imagine Anakin and Kitster as pirates. That's a very...appealing combination, I think. ;)

Palo also came to mind for that role, but I figured it would be enough of a shock if I just made him a half decent person. LOL.

	From: moonspinner	Date: February 2nd, 2007 11:18 am (UTC)		(Link)

Everybody seems to hate Palo. It's so distressing! Have you heard of some guy called Ian? He was featured in an EU comic starring Padme, just before she became Queen Amidala. He was supposedly in love with her but she turned him down to become a politician.

I've been thinking of a story involving him and Padme for a couple of days now. It even has a clear cut theme, unusual for my usual rambling ideas...

Don't you love bunnies? When the story ideas are still fresh and shiny in your head?

Have I told you yet how I can't wait to read this story? There're so few original ideas in fanfiction these days...

	From: fialleril	Date: February 2nd, 2007 11:16 am (UTC)		(Link)

:) Thanks for your interest. Now if only I could find the time to write it... *sighs* Sometimes I wish I could just quit school and write fanfic full time. LOL.

Speaking of original ideas, how is Kaleidoscope coming along? *bats eyelashes*

	From: moonspinner	Date: February 2nd, 2007 11:23 am (UTC)		(Link)

::blushes:: I had actually resolved not to write Kaleidoscope this weekend. I have this humongous story (actually, it's the Dooku story I mentioned to you) that I have neglected for the past year. ::shudders:: And since 2007 seems to be my Year of Finishing Things, I decided to write the next chapter of this story this weekend. It's a bit intimidating since I've been so long away from the story I actually have to re-read to remember who/where/what/why/how. Thank goodness for detailed notes.

So no, no Kaleidoscope before Wednesday. I may get some writing done on Tuesday if everything works out... I'm sorry to let you down. ::sad face:: Promise you won't retaliate by holding back on Anabasis? ::begging face::
