If you have thoughts, comments, questions or complaints about my stories, I'd love to hear them. That being said, please, no language or profanity in the reviews. Thanks! :)


Current projects:

In the Shadows

A Thousand Lives

Not Our Style

Game Night

Misadventures of Jedi Generals (ongoing, ad infinitum)


Projects that are still in the planning stage:

Where Loyalties Lie - A story about the stormtroopers from Timothy Zahn's books 'Allegiance' and 'Choices of One'. This story takes place in between those two books, and will be mostly about LaRone, Marcross, Quiller, Grave, and Brightwater, and about how they get from the way they were in the first book to how they were in the second. I find Marcross in particular to be a puzzle, so part of the challenge in writing this story will be to give the characters 'reasons' for changing for the better. It will also include two villains from 'Allegiance' whose stories were left unfinished.

Though All the Stars Have Fallen - This is story that starts with the end of 'Republic Commando' - and goes on to detail what happened to many of the characters whom we never see again. What happened to Sev? What happened to the rest of Delta Squad? What happened to Bad Batch and Echo, and Kix, who mysteriously vanished after Fives' death? What about Cody and Neyo, the only two clones to become marshal commanders? What happened to the rest of the commanders, particularly Fox? What happened to Luminara Unduli, and Quinlan Vos? This story is technically AU, because I ignore Rebels completely; but, apart from that, the story will be following canonical characters and events. ;)

A Thousand Lives - Set between 'In the Shadows' and 'Though All the Stars Have Fallen', this story follows the Deltas, Bad Batch, Ahsoka Tano and Aayla Secura on the cold desert planet Jedha.


I'd like to thank everyone who has read my stories, because what is a story without readers? A special thanks to those who have followed or favorited, and a very special thanks to those who have taken the time to review! :) One of the highlights of posting stories here is knowing that they're being enjoyed by others, so I greatly appreciate it when readers tell me what they think of the story.

On that note, it seems fitting to thank those who wrote the stories that I've enjoyed over the past few years. I've learned a lot about the craft of writing by reading stories on here, some of which have been of astonishingly high quality.

Random writing revelations: Unless you're one of those brilliant people who can keep many plot threads intact in your mind as you write, I strongly recommend that you draft a complete and detailed outline - I always regret it when I don't. Too many characters and conflicts and crossing timelines and details. You probably wouldn't be surprised, the number of times I've had to go back and edit because I forgot exactly how much a specific character in THIS setting knew about the situation as opposed to a specific character in THAT setting. Also, research until you're blue in the face. And then stop to take a breath, because breathing tends to be essential to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Happy writing, and happy reading! :)

Transmissions from all over the Mid and Outer Rims disappear when Separatist forces claim a vital signal relay station on Bespin.

The enigmatic clan of Kajain'sa'Nikto known as the "Sand Wraiths of Florrum" attacks the Jedi outpost on the desert planet without warning. Ahsoka teams up with local Twi'lek allies from Florrum's capital to gather information, while Anakin and Obi-Wan stand by at the outpost to prevent further damage.

Survivors of Fortune by Sabari reviews
After surviving Onithera, the soldiers of Fortune find themselves on a new planet, with new challenges, and a new sergeant. Sometimes the worst devil is that which comes from within, which is the devil we are prepared to face least of all. Inadvertently AU, non-slash/non-pairing.

Lost Fortune by Sabari reviews
A clone squad that should never have been is lost and abandoned on a world they don't understand, where danger lurks around every corner. Sometimes the greatest fight is simply that of survival. And sometimes it takes a disaster to bring out the best in people. Or the worst. Inadvertently AU, non-slash/non-pairing.

Trivial Matters by Thundera Tiger reviews
A bit of inanity cleverly disguised as a vignette in which Legolas loses his patience, Aragorn makes an unsubstantiated claim, and Faramir outmaneuvers them both.

In the Shadows reviews
What starts as a simple mission quickly spirals out of control. The commandos of Bad Batch, while highly skilled, are still new to the war and have never worked with a Jedi. Quinlan Vos is used to working alone. But the Sith are on the move. Ancient, unknown evils shift restlessly in the shadows of Malachor, and Palpatine is not the only one who worships the dark.

Bad Batch's Echo reviews
Echo joined the Bad Batch, and everything changed - for them, as well as for him. They were used to working only with each other, or the occasional regular; and he was used to being the younger brother. Now, they were working with a regular, and he had four younger brothers to look after and yell at and take care of. Marked complete, but will be updated as I think up new stories.

Misadventures of Jedi Generals reviews
A slowly growing collection of one-shots detailing the less-illustrated, or perhaps officially ignored, side of life during the Clone Wars. Marked as complete, since each story is complete in itself, but chapters will be added. Chapter 11 is up: Yoda continues to cause grief, mostly for Fox and Hunter, and the commandos try eating chocolate.

Not Our Style reviews
"We'll do it your way, Captain. For Commander Cody." Why do the maverick commandos of Bad Batch listen to Cody, when they'll listen to no one else? What is the story behind how Cody earned their trust and respect? Characters: Cody, Hunter, Tech, Crosshair, Wrecker, Havoc, Colt, Rex, Shaak Ti

Game Night reviews
A deleted scene from 'In the Shadows' that sparked a new idea, and thus a new mini-series. It was really too short to include in the series of 'Misadventures', so I'm putting it here. Updates will be random and possibly spontaneous. :D Characters: Hunter, Crosshair, Tech, Wrecker, Quinlan Vos

Separatist Web reviews
After the events of 'Lair of Grievous', Kit Fisto is sent back to Vassek III with Delta Squad, an elite team of commandos. Their mission: obtain data and destroy Grievous' fortress. In the meantime, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Cody, Rex, and other clones from the 212th and 501st head to Rattatak. Their mission: confront and capture Ventress. What could possibly go wrong...?

On Fennel Street reviews
Based on the Ronald Howard and Howard-Marion Crawford portrayal of Holmes and Watson. Holmes and Watson have been in a small town outside of London, following the trail of Merritt and his gang of thieves. Naturally, it is cold and snowing and late at night when Holmes decides to close in on the gang. Watson knows there is such a thing as planning ahead. As always, NOT slash.

An Unmasked Conspiracy reviews
Pippin and Merry have An Idea. They are assisted by Elladan and Elrohir, who have A Better Idea. Aragorn and Faramir nearly start a civil war. Legolas and Gimli and Gandalf cause general trouble. Frodo and Sam are of course involved. For MistressOfImladris - hopefully this is how you think of Elladan and Elrohir. ;D

At 'The Ivy Bush' reviews
What did the hobbits think of the goings-on at Crickhollow? A short one-shot depicting a conversation at 'The Ivy Bush', an inn on the Bywater Road. I added Frodo and Fredegar as characters since they are discussed, but they do not actually appear in the story.

Invasion reviews
Allura and Coran have a diplomatic meeting to attend. The paladins and Matt . . . do not. And yet there is something going on with the Castle - or perhaps an enemy has located them - all in all, perhaps Allura is a lot safer than the others.

Just Another Mission reviews
A typical 'break in and blow up the base' mission. The paladins of Voltron separate into two teams to complete their mission. One team has to rescue the other. Oh, wait - does this sound familiar . . .? Somewhat shorter than my other stories thus far, and with perhaps a less original plot.

Shiro Returns reviews
After the battle at Naxcella, the paladins discover the truth about Shiro's clone. . . I am updating this summary because the story should probably be labeled 'canon-divergent' now. :) Enjoy, and please review!

Lance Helps Out reviews
The members of Voltron are tired and not performing with their usual excellence. Lance decides to fix everything up. He and Hunk work out a plan . . . Perhaps unsurprisingly, this does not go quite as planned. I am hoping this feels like an episode. Please review and let me know what you think, especially as this is the first fan fiction I've ever written. :)

Priorities reviews
A short story - perhaps it could even be called a drabble? - that illustrates the paladins' maturity and ability to cope with any situation that comes their way. The genres might be just a bit misleading, depending on how you look at it. ':D

Time Off reviews
Matt and the paladins get a couple of days off, and they put their time to good use. Shiro ends up questioning the wisdom of allowing them the run of the castle. :)

The Battle of Dharvel reviews
Freeing yet another planet results in several separate missions, with the members of Voltron splitting into different teams to complete each objective. . . until, of course, things fall apart.
