I tried that already after Boba Fett died to that worm. Couldn't find him unfotunately.

So has the Curse of Kirk hit Leia ? Or is this another <Wedge Antille's sister>* miraculous survival moment?

So what's happened recently to Ochoa and those secondary characters?

Which secondary characters? Stravo's got like... 100 of them running around doing different things.

I know there's a lot, but there was that whole thing with Ochoa and Nemesis, I'm rereading through the entire story to refresh my mind about what other stuff there was.

I find the numerous subplots to be like life. Things don't just follow the main plot if you get my drift. Don't worry all those subplots will be tied up in the end.

If this story ever ends. I'm going to skim through the entire thing just to see if you managed to miss anything...

Yeah, for real. Did we touch on Boba Fett yet? Or was that 30-40 chapters ago? When the Emperor killed everyone? Wait--Borg...Q? Gary? POKEMON! AHHHHH!



I'm just pulling your leg Stravo. Keep on tranglin' my main man.

Great surprise Stravo. And a great chapter too.

Have you decided to reduce the number of the main characters? (Rhetorical question )
Anyway this story looks far from end to me. There seems to be so much to happen.

Stravo, you probably do each chapter as a separate document, so I'll just tell you anyway. At 9 point Verdana font, StarCrossed is 909 pages in Word. Looking into a publisher? (If it wasn't for the fact that LucasFilm would never approve it, I'd be asking that in all seriousness.)

Wow its gotten that long?

Yeah. It's that long. If published, by the time Stravo's done I'd venture to guess that he'd have to break it up into a trilogy. (Sadly, screwing with the movie canon timeline like that would never fly with Lucasfilm. They might allow it to be published as N-level canon, maybe.)

Not to mention the fact that it would have to deal with Paramount regarding StarTrek franchise too.

[pride speech]
Guys, look how lucky we are. Here we are the ones able to read this magnificent fanfic. Well done, Stravo. We are proud of you!

Hmmmm. Just copied it again onto this PC, and now it's only 838 pages long. But enough grammar errors to overload the grammar checker so that it couldn't display all of them at once.

Well, that wouldn't be so much of an insurmountable problem, since they don't consider novels canon anyway, and this takes place after all the Star Trek movies and such so far except Nemesis. It's Lucas who wouldn't want his movie timeline screwed with.

Maybe the story can be presented as an alternate timeline. It would not become canon, but maybe it could get GL approval.

No. LucasFilm will never, ever, ever accept and publish fan fiction.

EDIT: And I very much doubt Paramount would either.

Too bad then for the others. We will be the only ones to enjoy this masterpiece.

How do they differentiate between fan fiction and KJA? I mean, this is better than his shit... What does one have to do to get them to allow you to publish SW books?

I've read this in SWI. You have to be an already established author of science fiction. Even if said author knows nothing about Star Wars and couldn't get the characters right if his life depended on it, he has more of a chance than a fan fiction writer, who has no chance at all according to LucasFilm policy.

Actualy for the record I do recall several ST books of published fanfics. Genearly short stories, but there is precedent. Of course I don't know about the politics of getting published.
