[13:22:00] Enochf: Yeah, Stover is *almost* done writing it, but he keeps breaking the "I" on his keyboard from writing in italics.
[13:23:21] Enochf: I like Stover, but somebody should tell him it's okay to use a longer, less common word rather than just using the same word in italics.

<LordH3O|Hereish> You never hear characters in the movies say "kark it" or "shavit" or "kriff that". They actually say stuff like "hell" and "damn".
<LordH3O|Hereish> And you sure as hell don't see "bloah". :|
<LO|Hereish> "Frak" just sounds so kriffing stupid
<Acky|awayish> They use it way too often.
<Acky|awayish> More than people would use fuck.
<LordH3O|Hereish> For the bigger stuff, Stover uses soundalikes. Like his Shatterpoint joke about being "well and truly forked".
<LtNOWIS> I'm in favor of artificial, silly standards of decency, myself
<LordH3O|Hereish> I just want more "shit" in my Star Wars. Avoid the obvious jokes, please. :P

Powerful remnants of the vanquished Empire, hungry for retaliation, are still at large, committing acts of piracy, terrorism, and wholesale slaughter against the worlds of the fledgling Republic. --Starwars.com

Voren wrote the jacket summary, I see. --Trip

<LordHydronium> DKM's got game.
<LordHydronium> Trip called him the Stover before Stover.
...
<LordHydronium> Fett floated in a long dreamtime moment, tied to the gambler's last moments of real awareness down in the slime on the floor of the pit, blind, deaf, limbs dissolved, rib cage cracked apart with the tentacles massaging his organs, dreaming of a woman who loved him—Boba Fett had been born to anger, and rage was his life. He struggled up out of the vision, fought it wildly, carried himself...
<LordHydronium> ...up out of the nightmare on the back of a wave of fury and abruptly was back, there in his body with the pain of the burning acid all around him, suffused with a clear, lucid, thinking hatred, an emotion so dark and deep and pure the Dark Lord himself might never have felt its equal.
<LordHydronium> He could hear his own heartbeat thudding in his ears and he said, "I'm going to kill you very slowly," and he had never meant anything more in his life.
<Ozzel> This is what it feels like to be Boba Fett.

[12:44] <The4dotelipsis> The first one is, like, Tales-canon.
[12:44] <The4dotelipsis> The second one is, like, Stover-canon.
[12:44] <The4dotelipsis> The last one is, like, Baby Ewoks Picnic Surprise-canon.

[15:19] <Ozzel> Can't argue with that. :-p
[15:20] <Ozzel> Depa's journey into the darkness of Haruun Kal is not unlike the Ewoks' journey deep into the forest to find the rainbow berries.
[15:25] <The4dotelipsis> Wheras Shatterpoint was clearly modeled on Heart of Darkness, Baby Ewoks is clearly a work of its own in a literary sense.

Eh...I liked Shatterpoint, but it lacked the gritty darkness of The Baby Ewoks' Picnic Surprise --The_Four_Dot_Elipsis

Jacen's portrayal in Traitor clashed with all continuity by erroneously portraying him as an interesting character with depth.
