Runs Like Clockwork: Chapters 1-2 (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=205468)
Tysyacha

NSW Fiction, continuation of Runs Like Clockwork: The little gnome finds out about her mother’s death before she heads off to her destiny.

Like all of her work Tysyacha draws us in, makes us see the society. As she pointed out, you create your own mythology dependant on your environment. Her mother not dying, but going back to stone.

kaizokunami

Post TSL: Now with a grown son, Atton visit’s the Exile’s grave as he does every year.

The piece is light and poignant, the fun Atton has still with his son overshadowed by who lies buried at his feet. The secret talk they have after the boy has left is what is shared by all people who spend such times.

Pick of the Week

Atrisia (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2238907/1/Atrisia)
Ivory Chopstick

TSL on Peragus: The Exile awakens

The piece is a generic retelling of the intro into the game, except that she did not speak with Kreia.

Murderous Mind (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2396796/1/Murderous_Mind)
Celsie

After TSL, no specific period given: A Sith lord awakens in a Kolto tank

The inner dialogue of the heroine is rife with pain and fury. She looks at her past almost with indifference, and sees her future with as little emotion.

Droids Can't be Trusted (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2518086/1/Droids_Cant_be_Trusted)
Mellyna

Pre TSL: A young Jaq Atton remembers why he doesn’t trust droids.

The piece flows well, the character young and impetuous. Why AL suddenly gains a conscience is never explained, but his escape with the ship seals the thought of not trusting a droid.

Remnants (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2457234/1/Remnants)
Fire Team Torch

Post KOTOR: The light side survivors of the Ebon Hawk’s voyage plan their next move

The piece follows hard on a dark side ending to the game. Carth, Yuthura and Mission plan what they must do now that Revan has gone to the Dark Side.

Provocation (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2519845/1/Provocation)
Yggi

KOTOR aboard Ebon Hawk: Canderous starts one argument too many…

The piece is funny in that like another work earlier in the year, when Canderous gets his come upance, everyone thinks someone else invited him along. The actions of Canderous boasting about his prowess are counter pointed by every one else just feeling tired at the tattered old clichés.

Before the war of Exar Kun: Jolee contemplates his actions, and wonders about his own fate

Uninspired (http://kotorfanmedia.net/node/1491)
RogueLadySabyne

Pre Mandalorian Wars: Carth relives the worst day of his life to that point, the death of his mother

The piece is a good introspection of Carth. He remembers the conflicts between him and his father, the warm relationship with his mother, and grieves in his heart as people will.

There is No Death . . . (http://kotorfanmedia.net/node/1631)
Tim Radley

Mandalorian Wars: The Republic begins a new campaign

The piece has no flight of Jedi superiority, it has instead a meeting discussing the Mandalorian advance, and the Jedi taking a firm hand in it. It is dry, pedantic, and thoroughly delightful as all of Trs work to date.

Pick of the week

The Turning Point (http://kotorfanmedia.net/node/1603)
Lord Valentai

Mandalorian wars: For Malak the war has become personal

The piece flows well from the aftermath of an attack to the death of those that carried it out. The characters are clearly defined and almost picture perfect.

Pick of the Week

The End of a World (http://kotorfanmedia.net/node/1521)

Mandalorian wars at Malachor V: The end of the war leads to an end to their fellowship as well.

The piece is excellent, the last victim of the Mandalorian wars goes home to face judgment, and seems almost relieved when she does.

Memories of A Traitor (http://kotorfanmedia.net/node/1508)
Amoinete

Mandalorian wars: Revan reminds me of Mephistopheles in Faust

The story begins with the Jedi offering their services, and ends with Karath fully under the Dark Side. The evolution of the Jedi from protectors to Sith was well done.

Trials and Tribulations (http://kotorfanmedia.net/node/1502)

Pre Mandalorian Wars: The Jedi prepare to face the Mandalorians

Revans Pet Duck

Pre Mandalorian Wars: Bastila remembers the beginning

The piece is a good counterpoint of the one it followed; when all you have are two bad decisions, which do you make? Her own confusion is also counter pointed because she has mixed emotions about the fighting.

The makings of a hero (http://kotorfanmedia.net/node/1500)
Kattalez

Mandalorian wars on an embattled planet: As a young man dies, Carth is struck by melancholy, and the desperate wish to remember his name.

The piece is an excellent war story told not from the front lines, but from within the encampment. Carth’s sarcastic look at the propaganda machine fits the character well.

A Rude Awakening (http://kotorfanmedia.net/node/1516)
mcfinnegan

Originally reviewed July 27th, 2006. That review is below:

After the destruction of the Star Forge, the Republic Troops have a blast to be remembered. Both Bastila and Alana however would rather forget it.

The piece started with four disclaimers, ending with one that meant the author really expected flak.

O-Kay.

Then I read it.

After I was done laughing, I decided, what could I say? First, having two of the characters end up in bed didn’t disturb me as much as it did them. Mission’s reaction was choice and brought even more laughter. Juhani’s was icing on the cake.

My complaints are to the other reviewers. First, I have had too much to drink before, so I understand waking up in bed with someone and not being at all sure what might have happened. While one appears to have been nude, and the
other topless, that doesn’t mean anything happened. (I know, you’re all sitting out there saying ‘Ah the Critic protests too much methinks!’ but it is true. Mission’s reaction is what I would expect from a girl her age. Juhani’s was taken as a lesbian offer, but think about it? The principles don’t remember what happened, the only existing picture is of them SLEEPING. She was just doing what every person who has ever caught a friend in such a position would have done, teased them unmercifully. Ask me about the hole in the bedroom floor sometime.

I have been bombarded with people asking me what I thought about a game I didn’t even own since I began this column last October.

A friend bought me a copy of The Sith Lords on the 26th, the day after my birthday, but I have yet to load it. I don‘t know if I have enough room on my hard drive.

But this one piece, with Carth watching his love go into danger without him makes up for everything I have yet to do in that new game.

I immediately recognized ’Take a look at me now’ by Phil Collins, and the music fit the situation better than it did in the movie that used it. I can feel the angst Carth is feeling. Worth not only a second look, but a third and fourth one as well.

Interim just after KOTOR I: With Revan gone to save the universe, All Carth has is the memories of their epic journey and his own heart break.

Fifteen people read and commented on this. Most of them said everything I would want to say. The work is excellent only needing rereading (You accidentally used the word glass when you meant gloss) to be exquisite. The memories of a lost love, and all that lead up to that loss are expressed in poignant detail, and heartbreaking clarity.

Well done.

TSL aboard Ebon Hawk: A nightmare spices up the scene.

There isn’t much to the story when you come down to it, just a typical wake the person from a nightmare, but the scene runs with the emotion of the characters, and the deepening relationship. Very well done.

Sith Lord Darth Revan

Post KOTOR: After surviving an attempt by the Republic to assassinate them, Revan and Bastila regain the Sith throne.

The piece flows well, and the interjection of events in Republic space explain a lot of the back story. Revan having a second apprentice made an interesting commentary on the events.

Life Waves (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2505597/1/Life_Waves)

TSL On Korriban: The Exile talks to the one person in the crew who would understand her ordeal.

The piece is angst laden as the Exile relives the events in the tomb, and Atton is there to lean on afterward. There is nothing unsuspected or surprising, just two people reliving their own pains and healing each other.

The Way Things Were (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2497802/1/The_Way_Things_Were)

The piece was smooth and went from beginning to end without a ripple. The divorce was so sedate you almost missed it. There was a d-uh moment when they talked about the one and only time they had sex. Like she said, she was a Jedi, so why was that a surprise. What I wonder about is how they even got so far as a marriage with such a gulf of backgrounds.

Reprise Pick of the Week

Trials (http://kotorfanmedia.net/node/1751)
Jiara

Decades Pre KOTOR: The Jedi trials were a bit different…

It’s an interesting look at Vrook Dorak and Jolee back when they were still young. Dorak is just as studious as you would have thought, and Vrook just as impatient. But Jolee even as a young man was irascible, and oddly enough, brother of Dorak. His anger at the council is understood, because i could see them berating him prior to the war of Exar Kun because he fell in love, then getting smarmy because of Dorak’s find.

Luncheon at the Races (http://kotorfanmedia.net/node/1752)

Pre KOTOR: Mekel needs to find some connections

The piece is a bit fluffy as the author said, and having Mira and Mical get together is not a bad end, even though it is a bit bizarre.

Star Wars: Unique Clones (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2567112/1/Star_Wars_Unique_Clones)

HK? (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2568118/1/HK)

KOTOR on the Rakata homeworld

The piece is fast, irreverent, and at times confusing. The idea that Juhani was added to the crew only because the Jedi Masters wanted her dead but couldn’t admit it was funny. The Russian accent was confusing.

One year post TSL: As the Jedi students practice, something evil arrives among them.

You need to remember to do a visual edit of the work, and trust your spell checker. You used awnser when it should be answer. Also remember to put in the ‘ for words like don’t.

The piece is nice and foreboding. You know help is on the way, but will they arrive in time?

Defluo: Nyx (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2569297/1/Defluo_Nyx)

TSL on Citadel Station: In an alternate universe the Exile and Atton meet in more congenial circumstances.

TSL after Malachor V: The crew gets to see an interesting sight.

The piece is funny, how both the Disciple and Atton pick up black eyes is choice, and the acrimonious discussion was just too fun.

Mobius (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2570118/1/Mobius)
DWH

Pre KOTOR: A bitter parting

Like most of DWH’s stuff, this hits pretty hard. The pair are the perfect odd couple, and you can picture them twenty years later much the same way. The leave taking was harsh in that he did not give her time to even argue. The only thing I think that would have made it better is if she had followed.

Second Chances (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2570121/1/Second_Chances)

19 years post KOTOR: Revan and her husband Carth decide on their own to find their missing son.

Pre KOTOR: Revan and Malak decide they have to have new names before they challenge the Mandalorians

KOTOR aboard Ebon Hawk: Revan and Carth deal with their emotions, one in hope the other in fear

I can’t think of anything really good to say about this that hasn‘t already been said. The reason is that 17 people gave it a thumbs up, and 14 commented before me, and quite honestly, I don’t want the kid to get a swelled head. This is fantastic work.

KOTOR on Taris: What if the captive wanted to tag along rather than merely escape?

In Davik’s stronghold, you find someone who had the key to the hanger shield, but all he wants to do is escape. Changing him into a woman and having her join the party is an interesting take on the situation.

Fredi

No specific era given: A young Sith student starts earning prestige.

The author is obviously not an English speaker, as there are several words used incorrectly. As an example, in the section ‘with hit against’ it would read better by saying ‘from the impact with the wall’. and used tough (strong) instead of taught (receiving teaching), amaze instead of amazed.

The piece is generic and a bit bland. This piece led me to the following one, which had not been reviewed.

Pre TSL on Dxun: A young Sith gathers data for his master and himself.

Remember tenses. You send someone or they are sent, not sended. People are taken or took, not taked. grates are metal forms made of metal bars, not a term of capability like greatest, which is what I think you meant. Fool instead of foul.

The story is as I said of the one above, generic and bland. It is like watching a fight and travel scene.

Pre TOR: A pair of Gray Jedi carry out assassinations to aid the republic.

My question is why you’re using an escape pod for this mission; unlike a life raft or whaleboat which can be reused readily, whereas to return the life pod you will have to fly down and recover it.; defeating the purpose of a secret mission.

KOTOR I parody with a Halloween theme.

All right, I have lambasted people for this before. If the author had changed the name (In other words, not called it Halloween) I would have said nothing. So grumble grumble, complain, whine.

That out of the way, I roared. It was funny from start to finish. The characters have an advantage (Beyond seeming to all be stuck in the same house ala Drawn Together) of being able to ‘borrow’ every one else’s clothes to pretend. Having both Revan (Played by Mission in a blonde wig) Darth Revan (Played by Dustil) and Canderous wearing Carth’s jacket (With arguments as to whether it is rust colored or orange) the piece sort of grabs your hand like a friendly St Bernard puppy, and drags you to the end.

Voices in the Wind (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2633177/1/Voices_in_the_Wind)

Pre Mandalorian Wars: Follow on to Mobius, the one left behind decides she is going to follow

The piece brings two scenes together; the man who had gone on speaking at his father's grave, and the same scene with the woman that loves him doing the same at her grandfather's grave. Both have pretty much the same plaints, and their reasons are different, but you can see them leaving together rather than separately.

I get the feeling that English is a second language to you, primarily because you tend to leave out words at odd times. The only other alternative is you have a problem I share; writing so fast you cannot keep up with yourself. This can be fixed by editing before posting. My standard mantra is, everyone together:

reread, edit, reread again, polish until smooth.

You tend to be very tight with characterization, making your characters caricatures rather than real people. Again, an editing problem.

The piece is confusing as most nightmare are. The warning not to kill 'her' is interesting, the other speaker, obviously his late wife warning him not to harm Revan

Bastila's Ambition (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/2656) )
Joysweeper

Pre KOTOR: Who created Revan's new Personna?

The piece starts disjointed, someone working frantically to save a life. By the end you feel loathing for Bastila, someone willing to destroy a mind to save the universe.

Post KOTOR: There is always time for a prank...

Like all of Tys' stuff, this was well done. Reprogramming a droid to act as comic relief was fun and the snap choice of who would give the lecture instead a riot.

Lost Jedi chapter 1 Aftermath (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/2637) )
Darth Red Head

Post TSL: The Exile deals with the loss of Atton, and the future

The piece is well done and the feeling and voice of each character is distinct and clear. The angst felt by not only the main character but all who journey with her comes through like a carillon of bells. The ending, with another dark fate on the horizon is very well done.

Technical note: It is a common problem for people to use common words landsmen would use but applying them to ship areas. Please read the website below Ship nomenclature, or; It's not a door, it's a hatch blast it! (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=200318) ) Machievelli for the correct terms.

Post KOTOR: Revan deals with the death of her mother.

RLS has always turned out quality work, and this is no exception. The ritual of cutting her hair to leave on her mother's grave fits with her anger at the Council.

Nivenus

Post KOTOR: Dustil's training under of all people, Jolee

It should be take over (Present tense) rather than took (Past tense)

The piece flowed well, and Dustil's rationalization of why his renewed attack perfectly done.

Fearless (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/2700) )
RC773

KOTOR aboard Endar Spire: The death and soon to be rebirth of Trask Ulgo.

You left a word out 'you (into) a monster'.

The piece flowed well, and one reviewers comment was welcome, since there are few Trask stories out there

Bastila's Touch (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/2499)
Joysweeper

Pre KOTOR: Bastila's thoughts on what has been done to Revan

The piece is a clear concise rendition of how Revan becomes the main character. The specifications are tight, and you can follow step by step what had been done to mold the nascent mind.

Alive Chapter 1-Hunters (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/2782)
Kagi Vayun

Pre KOTOR: With Revan dead (He thinks) Bastila is now the primary target

The piece has a smooth flow and the bounty hunter chosen is perfect for the job.

The Jedi and the Jacket (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2672488/1/The_Jedi_and_the_Jacket)
Woman of Rohan

Post KOTOR: A man and his jacket...

The piece is thoroughly delightful. It reminds me of a commercial from the 70s when a woman is traipsing around in her boyfriend's shirt, accepting a call and blithely answers, 'Oh, I was just thinking about you'.

Worth every second of the read.

Pick of the Week

KOTOR II Retold (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2659413/1/KOTOR_II_RETOLD) )
N-Android

Pre TSL: A paid of Jedi prepare to go on their adventure.

Should be console instead of council Also 'you're (You are) rather than your (Possessive). Also through (past) rather than threw (hurled) and deleted rather than deleated. Also off instead of speaking of signs of life. Also the body lay, not lied, and the woman was calm (relaxed) not clam (Shellfish).

Didn't have a chance to read beyond chapter 1, but that was enough to know it is quality work.

Pick of the Week

The Leviathan (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2643385/1/The_Leviathan)
CortessaBlatt

It's thrashed instead of trashed.

The scene is well laid out, the Sith merely continuing the torment because they were ordered to.

Darkness (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2675978/1/Darkness) )
Setre

No specific era given: What you must do as a Sith.

The piece is cold and hard. If you have read the Extended Universe, you will remember Iron Fist, where Republic warriors pretending to be mercenaries are given the choice to kill a captured agent. The difference is that there is no timer pretending the man is alive; it is three children killed because 'they will come back to attack when they get older'.

Mirrored Paths (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2611989/1/Mirrored_Paths) )
Jakia

TSL on Peragus: The twin Jedi go their opposite ways to carry out the same mission.

The piece is well laid out, the separate Jedi complementing each other .

The Night She Left (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2677313/1/The_Night_She_Left)
Trillian4210

Post KOTOR: Neither spoke of it... Until it was too late

The piece is excellent!. You have two point of views (You need to work in a break there, kid) with Revan breaking down because of her own ghosts, followed by Carth exploding when he discovers her gone. You want to bitch-slap both of them because they aren't thinking about the partner.

Pick of the Week

If there is anyone even remotely interested, I finally found provenance that Revan was a man, so I have rewritten my KOTOR novel.

Now have to go to my TSL and make the changes there.

Sometime during the aftermath of KOTOR: A confused look at an emergency

The piece is irreverent, and amusing in turns. Two different crew members suggesting spaying Juhani made it even more confusing.

Dark Lord Tea Party (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2678252/1/Dark_Lord_Tea_Party) )
CortessaBlatt

Not linked as such to KOTOR: When you're the heavy, sometimes you have to hang with the same type of people.

The villains are nothing if not amusing. Sauron running around in an apron, Voldemort complaining that the opponent that had bested him was almost 2.

Post KOTOR on Manaan: A secret assignation.

The piece was supposed to be a fluff piece, but turned out way too serious. The angst was well done, and Jolee looking for a bowl of popcorn was just icing on the cake.

Crazyocelot

Post KOTOR on Coruscant: Revan talks with Jolee about their first meeting on Kashyyk

The piece carries an intersting view because people tend to forget Jolee must have seen them on Kashyyk when they came through the first time. His characterization of Malak being not only weak but probably a coward was I feel a bit harsh.

Remember conversation breaks. It's Echani, not echini. If this is supposed to be the Yoda from the series you're not talking a few centuries, you're speaking over three millennia

Touching Humanity (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2686213/1/Touching_Humanity)
CortessaBlatt

Post KOTOR: Carth won't take no for an answer

The piece is smooth and at the same time ragged. The idea that they would have littered the plains of Dantooine with statues of Bastila among others. Having Carth almost drag Revan into his room to have his way with her.

KOTOR en route to Korriban: Carth has to take...matters in hand.

The piece is fun because being my age, I remember many times where I have refused to flirt with a woman because of the age difference. Like Carth here, I have been blindsided by those younger women.

Pick of the Week

Visions (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/3024) )
Noneko

KOTOR on the unknown planet: Bastila gives Revan visions of what can be

The piece is excellent, Revan seeing all the things he could do if he returned to leadership of the Sith. It is sort of what you might from the bible story where Jesus is offered the world.

Nothing left to lose (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/3052)
AWilson

KOTOR aboard Leviathan: Carth discovers he still has things to lose.

The confrontation between Carth and Karath is little seen in these pages, yet this is a well wrought piece because even as he is dying, Karath can't resist getting in a few more digs, The idea that he told Malak that there was a Jedi Academy on Telos is funny considering where Atris chose to set up hers.

Falsities (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/2934)
Elena

A series of vignettes: Maybe Elena meant plot gizka

It's an interesting ensemble; Juhani as a bounty hunter working for Kang, Mira as Canderous' daughter, Bao-Dur in charge of Endar Spire instead of Carth Onasi among others.

After three months of job hunting I need a break. Will post my next review in a week

I took a week off because I have been worrying that I would be on the street in a week, and have sold off a lot of my library of books and DVDs just assure I would still have an apartment next month. But I was able to cobble enough finances together to keep my home, and as of Monday, I;m working again, so a big load came off my shoulders.

In return for your kind forebearance I extended the normal article from twelve to 16 entries this week.

Confrontation (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2690460/1/Confrontation)

KOTOR On the unnamed planet: Bastila considers her relationship with Revan as their confrontation approaches.

Korriban (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2690907/1/Korriban) )

KOTOR en route to Korriban: As Malak begins tormenting Bastila, Revan arrives on Korriban

Guilt (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2691060/1/Guilt)

Ebon Hawk no specific time given: Anger leads to a conflict, then to intimacies.

Post KOTOR on Coruscant: A rainy evening brings up old memories

The piece is called crappy by the author, but I do not agree. Everyone needs downtime, and creating a slice of placid life fits the bill.

Impure Pazaak (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2692502/1/Impure_Pazaak)
Woman of Rohan

TSL aboard Ebon Hawk: The Exile play by Nar Shaddaa rules, and get more than they bargained for.

The piece is light and amusing, with each player first ascendant, then in despair. The denouement, everything off and scattered, and the reaction of the crew to such things was too choice for words.

Pick of the Week

Untitled (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2693907/1/Untitled)
Amme Moto

Post KOTOR: Carth Canderous and Revan settle down, but not as you might think...

The piece flows well, Revan and Canderous as parents was so much fun, and the twins a riot.

Stupid Mical (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2694327/1/Stupid_Mical)
FeeldaForce

TSL en route to Nar Shaddaa: A stolen kiss.

The piece as the name implies concentrates on how Mical's primary enemy, Atton feels about him. The kiss at least changes Atton's tune, afterward, he's happy the other was there, since his presence caused Atton to at least try.

A Gift for the Future (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2694605/1/A_Gift_for_the_Future)

Post KOTOR: A present is passed not to a loved one, but to a generation several millennia parted

songofamazon

Pre KOTOR but no dates specified: Even a remote can be a hero

remember conversation breaks, remember to do a sight to remember all of the words such as 'an old man'

The piece flows, but there are unexpected ripples, such as forgotten words mentioned above. Having a remote as one of the heroes was a fresh twist.

Dark Side Female Revan

The Depths of Ibea part 1 (http://kotorfanmedia.net/node/9817)
songofamazon

Pre KOTOR: A dog in the manger story

I don't know how many of you understand there term so I'll explain. A manger is a holder for food for an herbivore like a horse sheep or cow; in other words, filled with something a dog would not eat. If a dog were to block their path, or climb into it, the herbivore cannot eat, if the dog weren't in the way. So it means doing something to stop someone else, even if it is something you cannot use.

The Jedi seem confused here, even the one who was sent in incognito. However his actions to remove the targeted property was masterful

Other KOTOR characters

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic: The Endar Spire (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/2906)

Beginning of KOTOR: The hero fights across the ship

Pretty much a generic retelling of the start of the game. Nothing added.

She Listens (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/3027)
Falangel9124

KOTOR after Leviathan: Old ghosts are put to rest

A pretty much generic make up scene between Revan and Carth. The piece is good because the main characters still feel the pain.

History Part 1: Taris (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/3067) )
NaTsu4417

KOTOR on Taris: The main character extends

The piece is a generic retelling of the Taris module of KOTOR without extras

KOTOR from Taris to Manaan: A drawn out story

The piece went through four locations without slowing. I had problems following primarily because the author covered too much in this posting.

How Vrook Stole Christmas (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/2128)
General Grievous

KOTOR runs head on into Christmas: Who will win?

A rather silly attempt at a Dr. Seuss knockoff. Due to the terms used, it doesn't rhyme very well because of that. But the picture of Vrook as Santa Claus and Zaz Kei El taking the roll of Max the dog caused me to chuckle.

School Days (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/3089)
Crystal001

Alternate universe Pre KOTOR: A number of the members of the first crew as kids in elementary school

The piece is a bit silly really; Canderous (In his late 50s) going to the same school with the others. Few characters were really fleshed out. You know that Carth is the studious type, Canderous is a fighter, and not a whole lot more.

Songofamazon

KOTOR at Taris: The survivors of the Endar Spire regroup.

The piece starts at an odd point, the actual launch of the escape pod with our heroes. Some of the injuries that had been suffered, requiring the heroine to wake up from her injuries. There was not a lot more, but what I read was good.

Other KOTOR characters

KOTOR en route to Manaan: Revan takes one fateful step

The piece is a bit fluffy, with Revan finally taking Carth to her bed. The part leading up to that act was fun because it's Revan trying to decide.

Revan;s Final Battle (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/3096) )
Crystal001

Post KOTOR: Revan fights for Carth's life one last time.

The piece was well written, the fight a joy to read. The way the Sith died was funny; having him die while being Force tickled just too cute for words.

The Gizka Problem, Revisited (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/3118) )
Crystal001

KOTOR en route to Manaan: Well it's one way to deal with the Gizka...

The piece is a lot of fun with Carth acting like a petulant child, Bastila dropping information ahead of time, and a barbequed mess of Gizka. What struck me as I read it was the comment by Kermit the Frog in the first Muppet movie; all those poor frogs on crutches...

Pick of the Week

Traitors in the Theater (http://www.kotorfanmedia.net/node/3192) )
Darkling Angel

Post KOTOR: Enemies meet in a theater.

The piece is delightfully skewed, with Bastila and Carth as the villains. The last scene, with Dustil lambasting his father for turning to the dark was choice.

RowenaR

Post TSL on Citadel Station: The Exile explains to Atton why she has to leave

The piece is angst riddled, and I am happy the author commented on being a non English speaker. It kept me from lambasting her.

I for one wonder if the masters had been theorizing rather than speaking from knowledge when they describe the 'wound' they claim was there.

Not Always What it Seems (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2699376/1/Not_Always_What_it_Seems)
Prometheus71

Post TSL: Revan considers her last few years.
