So I've decided what I will be doing for my next major work. I got a lot of suggestions about what to do after The Argument, which should be completed shortly. Many said that I should do a rewrite of Season 4, building off of The Argument and taking place alongside the show but after the conclusion of that story. I have decided not to do that exactly, but will instead be doing a series of somewhat disconnected stories that are not a sequel to The Argument, but do take place alongside Season 4 of Rebels. These will be in-between moments of the show. Stuff that I can imagine takes place between the episodes. I've decided to start after episodes 3 and 4, In the Name of the Rebellion, but I will likely return to the events around those first 4 episodes in flashbacks, references, or memories. Given that those 4 are basically one big sequence of action, I couldn't really think of a place to start, but I don't want to ignore them completely, so you'll probably see them brought up here and there. I'm a much more character and relationship writer than an action writer anyways, so I'll be letting the show handle most of the fighting and action, and I'll be inserting more mild and personal stuff that I think can, did, or at least should have happened in between episodes. These chapters likely won't be very long, as I'm not planning to have a lot of stuff actually happen in them, more like conversations, little moments, etc. Consider it a series of connected one-shots if you will.
Again, this is not a sequel to The Argument, and while I did really enjoy that story, I had always intended it to be its own thing. Mostly because I wasn't even sure if I would ever get past writing a chapter or two and wasn't sold on this whole "writing" thing in the first place. But now that I've gotten my feet wet, I think this is the route I'm going to take. It will probably develop a lot slower than The Argument as I will be writing it alongside the episodes as they air and take place over a longer period of time. So if you're expecting Sabine and Ezra to be making out in Chapter 3, you'll be waiting a long time unfortunately. But make no mistake, it will be a Sabezra/Ezrabine story. I ship the hell out of those two and anything I write Rebels related will eventually have that involved. They're just meant to be, even if Filoni himself doesn't see that. But their relationship in this story will take a lot longer to get off the ground I think, and there is always the off chance that Filoni might actually put them together in the show, and I don't want to usurp that. He's just plain better than me at all of this, even if I don't necessarily agree with all of the choices he makes (he needs to put Sabine and Ezra together and if he doesn't, he's just plain wrong. If he didn't plan on them ending up together, he shouldn't have written them to have such good chemistry. There, I said it).
And lastly, I'm not big on AU stuff. Canon is Canon to me, and what happens in the show is what happens. So that being said, there is a chance I might write myself into a corner and end up going one direction only to have the show contradict it later on. I'm going to try not to let that happen, but there is a chance of that since this basically amounts to me writing a story "with" Filoni, except I have no idea what's going to happen in the parts he's writing until I see them like the rest of you. So I hope you'll bear with me as I try to fit the stuff I write into the stuff he wrote.
