Been cursing laptop developers all week. As I said last week, I offered to help a person download pictures of their website. It's easy, just hit the print screen button... Problem, modern laptops don't have print screen keys. So how do you do it? Finally talked to a guy at a computer store, and picked up a print screen software. So maybe I can do it now.
Also considering starting a webpage featuring all of my published work for e-copy. Now just have to find a PDF maker, and alter them for publication.
So on with the week.
Over at Fanfiction.net it was a tough race. Every one of the works to follow were good in a different way. Darkmoonvampire lead off with Revan's departure in KOTOR 3: The Real War EragonPeep's Exile is chosen by Kavar in Becoming An Apprentice To A Lightsabre Master VX-1482's Dark Lord Revan settles in with Lord of the Galaxy Firera's Exile wishes for a deeper relationship in If Only
But best of the week is a three-way tie. Epic Bad Ass gives us some bounty hunters reminiscent of Cowboy Bebop with Screwed, Moonmythology takes that romantic evening everyone envisons between Revan and Bastila, and gave us the riotous One Night and finally Lady Zenoka
scores with a story I wanted to read earlier Death of a Murderer
Back to the salt mines. Signing off...

Running way late, but what else is new? Was just asked to help another writer convert his work from a website to book form for publication, and am awaiting a response from that. A friend who likes my work has been trying to find it via Amazon, but couldn't find it. I undertook a search and found that a used copy of my Original Gryphonrider is selling via Amazon for 338.57. Since it sold originally for 30 dollars via Publishamerica, my first thought was the same as four years ago, 'I must be dead'. That's because when an author or artist dies, their work jumps in price.
If I had a PDF maker, I'd be selling my works as E-books with that friend's help. But getting the money together (Try 449 for Acrobat or 80 for Nuance! is a killer. There are free versions out there, but I don't know if they're any good.
Enough of my grumbling, on to the reviews...
Coruscant Entertainment Center gave us Sithspecter with http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=212171" target=_blank>SquadronLegacy, Chapter 9; Rewrite which is in a three way tie for best of the Week
Then Fanfiction.net gave us sleepingthedayaway's Chocolate pudding
Snarryvader81's Shattered Dreamsand BananaLollipop17's Revan Was Gone
But the other two in that three way tie are Mettiz's http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4032336/1/He-and-She" target=_blank>Heand She and MisfitGirl13's The Next Mission
Got a reply and an e-mail for that person to see if we click and can work together. Don't know if I will make anything on it, but hey, I'm not paid for this either. Signing off...

Another week comes to a close, and I am catching up on the reviews that should have been posted months ago. Hopefully I will be up to date sometime in this century. Work is work, and someone asked me about a story of mine that has lain fallow for over a year. I'll try to get it running again soon, Adam.
Now on to our reviews. Over at Fanfiction.net we start off with HanuuEshe's final confrontation with the Jedi masters in In the Enclave followed by Arianadumbledore's reunion of Revan and the Exile in Prison Chat Both were good, but no Best this week, sorry.
Well, trying to restart that story. Signing off...

Another week, another review. With three different stories trying to be written at the same time, I got almost nothing done this last week because it's like listening to three conversations at the same time, and trying to keep up your end of the conversation(s). But we had a staff meeting in my head (As it were) and as soon as we have all come to a decision, I'll let you know.
So we begin our reviews with Fanfiction.net where Lord Darth Master give us a look at the past with Learning from the Past HelenaL is back with her KOTOR/Discworld crossover Non Timetis Messor
But best of the week went to the short and poignant http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4001724/1/Coward" target=_blank>Coward from Achalys.
So it's back to the salt mines. Signing off...

Another week, and I have yet another gripe. For those of you who watch television, you will have seen the ones talking about post offices being closed and service on Saturday, and direct delivery in some cases being curtailed. This is due to a bill passed back in 2006 where someone noticed a fact most of you don't know...
When it comes to wasting money, the Post Office is the only branch of the Federal government where they have always operated in the black, meaning that while they might need to borrow at the start of the year, they always paid that back by years end. No other branch can say that.
So back in 2006, someone came up with the idea of looting the post office for their own pet projects; projects that run over on their funds, and in some cases, don't even have to explain their shortfalls to us. Now, it's come time as the old saying goes to pay the piper, and they expect us to pay for it by accepting reduced services.
The last time the post office reduced service like this was back in the first decade of the 20th century. After the advent of the telephone, the post office reduced their services. They went from four deliveries a day to only one. Of course then it was a logical step; why spend a whole 12-14 hours waiting for say an invitation to a party that night to be delivered across town for the reply?
It makes all the talk about charging us for e-mails more sinister.
When you see the ad, write down the link, and tell congress where to stick it; sideways, without lube.
All right, soap box put away, here is what I have for you this week.
Coruscant Entertainment Center is in the list with JasraLantill's return with [Url= http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=21197[/url]TOR: Smuggler's Trial Run [/url]
