    Meanwhile....

    this is me. this is all i do. i'm sorry.

  • NarysaC9Sep 19, 2016 at 12:22 PM

    I feel a little odd about this since I'm new, but I figure I'll introduce myself first before I start with the self promotions.

    I figure my handle here speaks for itself, I'm also Tales from Just Over the Edge on Tumblr and Ariella1941 on AO3.

    I've been playing SWTOR on and off since it came out and was part of the beta.

    I'm a big fan of Bioware in general, so if you head over to my Tumblr that's what you'll find among other things about writing and genre in general.

    So, for the promotion: In the Shadow of Empires, which is a series I've been writing about Theron Shan and Aryelle Thrace, the Hero of Tython. Part of it is to flesh out the romance, part is to try and add more of the Jedi Knight backstory.

    I've just finished the Shadow of Revan Era pieces, which can be found at AO3.

    Most are rated for Teens and up but Yavin IV: End Game is rated mature due to the fact I expand on the love scene for Theron and Aryelle quite a bit.

    There are others that are post Revan, since I've been writing them out of chronological order. Most of what's there at the moment are interlude pieces, though I do intend to do some things with KotFE.

    Okay, I rambled long enough. Enjoy and I'm glad to be here.

    I had no internet last week and drew a little. Currently working on a gag-piece with my smuggler and Darth Marr.

  • inquisitorhotpantsSep 19, 2016 at 12:04 PMΔ

    Well, last week I promo'd my main fic, so today I'll promo the ficlet collection. :D

    Holocron Fragments is all the collected ficlets for Kryn & Marr and Semiri & Scourge, plus a few random others that exist within the Sartoris!verse. I quite like them, and wish I'd found a place for them within the main story's structure, but no story is complete with just one book.

    I've been bouncing between writing two fics. One explores how much of a cold, calculating bastard Vowrawn is under the glamour and charm. Started as shameless Darth Vowrawn/Lord Cytharat smut but then Plot™ happened.

    The other fic goes even further back in ancient history a.k.a. when Vowrawn was a young hellion in the Academy and caused many scandals... (basically old Sith when they were snotty teens and, for some, completely different than what they are now).

    technically i guess it's not monday any more, but whatevs. HI. i am apple, itsmeappo/badsithnocookie on tumblr, applecup on a03. i write dumb fic and occasional equally dumb meta. sometimes i even draw. badly.

    'Vette,' Eirn just replied, sighing, 'Just- make yourself useful, and help Jaesa decide on something appropriate.'

    'Appropriate?' Vette replied, lighting up. 'Like, spooky, or-?' she finished, at the look Eirn was giving her.

    'Appropriate,' Eirn replied, 'And not...' Jedi.

    'Inappropriate. Right,' Vette cut in, before making a show of a dramatic sigh. 'Real helpful instructions there, boss.'

    'I am my master's student,' Eirn replied, dryly. 'Now shoo.'

    Aside from my loose collection of ficlets for all my OCs (which, incidentally, lives here and contains various and sundry pairings and scenarios), the main thing I'm working on right now is my Quinn/SW fic Those Who Favor Fire, so I'm gonna talk a little about that.

    It's basically a personalized take on the Quinn romance, currently starting the Act 3 leadup to the Quinncident. I'm pretty fond of this story! I'm pretty fond of my Wrath, Ruqi, who is largely LS but with some DS choices at key moments (her moral code can be summed up as "try not to hurt anyone who doesn't deserve it, but when you're up against someone who does deserve it, wipe the floor with them"), and of her relationship with Quinn, who she fell head over heels for and forgave after the Quinncident. I wanted to dig more into that part of their relationship, especially, to examine how Ruqi and Quinn deal with and move on from that. I have a little more buildup to figure out before I get to that in the story, but I'm pretty excited to finally write it all down and share it with people!

    And, since I've had the actual Quinncident scene written for...a while, but it will still be a chapter or two before I'm able to properly post it, here's a teaser of sorts:

    Ruqi moves nearer, until she's close enough to kiss him--or choke the life out of him with her bare hand rather than the Force.

    "If I spare you," she says in a low voice, "you belong to me. Whatever happens from this point on, you're not Baras's creature anymore. You're mine. Do you understand?"

    He closes his eyes, swallowing against the pressure on his throat. "Yes, my lord."

    All her life, she's struggled for balance, tried to let the dark side fuel her strength while the light tempers her rage. It's never been so difficult. Half of her is screaming for vengeance, for him to hurt the way he's hurt her. She should crush the breath from his throat, tear his heart from his chest. It would be so easy. It would be what he deserves.

    The other half of her, calm and implacable, whispers You said you wouldn't hurt him. You told him he didn't need to fear you.

    She takes a step back and releases him, and he falls to his knees with a gasp. Ruqi reaches out, pauses when he flinches, and then slowly lays her hand on his head, stroking his hair.

    "I forgive you, Malavai."

    The words are hollow and ashen in her mouth, but she wants to mean them, as badly as she wants for this to have never happened.

    He draws in a shuddering breath, nearly a sob, and reaches blindly for her hand. Ruqi lets him take it, though her fingers are limp in his.

    "My lord," he says quietly. "I don't know if I can ever atone for this, but if you will let me remain in your service, I swear, I will try."

    Ruqi looks over at the shattered wrecks of his droids. "I understand why you did this," she tells him. She purposefully keeps her voice cool and remote, a lord of the Sith speaking to her vassal. "Baras is quite persuasive, and if you were convinced I couldn't defeat him, this must have seemed like the only way to save yourself." She looks back at Quinn, raising him to his feet. "But I can defeat him. I'm going to defeat him. Will you help me?"

      I have adored reading the chapters you've posted to Tumblr and eagerly await being destroyed by this. :)

      • jezranaSep 20, 2016 at 2:07 PM

        Aaaah, thank you! :3 I'm destroying myself with this, so I'm taking down whoever I can with me.

  • riajade01Sep 19, 2016 at 5:24 PMΔ

    Yay self promotion Monday! I am RiaJade01 on AO3 and only have one thing I'm working on: Legacy of Betrayal. This covers my Pureblood Sith Warrior, Mara, and Quinn, beginning immediately with the Qunncident and taking them, so far, through the Rakata Prime flashpoint. I'm planning to take it through Ziost with some non-canon additions. Hopefully Quinn will be back in KOTET by the time I finish it so I can work on the next phase of their lives.

    I will be honest and say when I started writing I wasn't sure she would forgive Quinn, especially with a certain SIS agent waiting in the wings. But she did, if via a tortured road. I have no idea if I handled that turn of her character well.

    It is noted in the tags, but you should be prepared for graphic smut that, at times, ignores some boundaries from one or both participants. I have included content notes at the start of each chapter.

    This is my first fiction writing endeavor in, oh, twelve years? So I'm really jonesing for feedback and reviews if you are so inclined. I hope it's okay to ask for that - obviously no one should feel obligated. :)

  • XhareenSep 19, 2016 at 10:47 PM

    I will post a link next Monday because there will be an update to my longform f!SW/Quinn story by then. Probably only one chapter, but at least there will be that.

  • depizanSep 19, 2016 at 2:32 PM

    I write cross-faction friendship/adventure stories about my Smuggler (who does work for the SIS) and my Agent (who really isn't suited to his line of work). Those stories, and a growing collection of ficlets, can be found on my AO3. They contain minor spoilers for the game stories, some violence, aftermath of violence, and swearing. (And Consequences, the one I'm currently working on, will get a little dark.) And they do kind of veer off from the canon storylines.
