Guest chapter 46 . 5/16/2016 Phenomenal story. As someone who plans on starting a couple fan fics of my own, this was a very good inspiration. |
Zipitnow chapter 46 . 6/14/2014 Oh golly! No more Tan and Corso and Boz? Darn! Well its been a fabulous ride through all the chapters. The writing, the adventure, the characters. Well done, actually Awesome. If its going to close out, then a party with all the toons was perfect. Thank you for the story and reason to keep reading the fan fic site. This has been a fab journey to read with some of my fav characters from the game. Yay for the writer. |
Kelana-ti chapter 46 . 6/14/2014 Very interesting. Racist or speciesist? Good question. Cute chapter. Always fun to read about people having fun. :D Glad to see that Boz and Risha got together. A little sad that you've run out of ideas for this, but if you don't have anymore this is an ok spot to stop. But I'll still hope for more. :D |
impoeia chapter 46 . 6/14/2014 Nooooooooo! The story *can't* end. There goes my favorite read! *Sigh* Well, at least you've left it on a sweet note. I do sooooooo love the ending. It's perfect; sweet, loving, with good humor and all the possibilities wide open. I can just see Corso and Tan flying off into the sunset with the Lucky Strike. And naturally, my mind is running wild with everything that could happen to this lovely cast of characters. (Especially Boz and Risha. Aside from Corso and Tan, those two crack me up every time :D) The scene in the club was fan-kriffing-tastic. Loved the contrast between Corso and Lenn and the shared opening statement that Tan just might be drunk. Such a contrast in men and yet they've fallen for the same woman. But seeing Tan through these two different perspectives is a real eye-opener. There's a lot to love about Tan - her spirit, independence, courage and humor - but it's clear that only someone as down-to-earth and yet willing to take a chance as Corso would fall in love with her flaws as well. Lenn is far too romantic for Tan's lifestyle, though it's lots of fun to see events through his slight flair for the dramatic. (I especially liked the conversation Eternal vs. Golden Flame. That had me grinning all the way through. Gotta love those Corellians) I *did* spent a moment imagining Lenn and Cedonia on the Lucky Strike, living as smugglers. It was *eternally* amusing, right up to the moment where Lenn gets shot by some pirate in an effort to save Tan and I won't even start on how unhappy Cedonia would probably be. Though you never know with the quiet ones. *Another sigh* There's just soooooo much to love about this chapter and this entire viggie series as a whole. I loved every minute of reading, every wonderful insight into characters I never even dreamed existed. Thanks so much for opening this whole new world to me and pulling me right in with an irresistible cast. No way the game writers could have done half as well. This was so real, so wonderful and I'm about to run out of synonymous with which to gush. Suffice to say this was an amazing story as only you could have told it and you've done a masterful job of it, every chapter and word of the way. Thanks so much for writing it. |
R. Constance chapter 46 . 6/13/2014 As much as I hate to hear that "Reasons Why" is complete (at least for the time being), I completely understand. It goes without saying (but I'll say it anyways) that you've done an absolutely fantastic job on ever single chapter you've written! All of your characterizations have been so life-like and right on point that most times, I forgot I was reading a fic. Nothing ever seemed forced or out of character, which, as someone who writes fics and original short stories of my own, I know is difficult to do. I'll miss seeing chapter notifications for "Reasons Why" in my inbox, but I'm really pleased with the way you ended the fic. Corso looking out for Tann always seemed to be the underlying theme of the fic (at least for me), and it seemed like she was finally letting him do so without a struggle, which was nice. Great character development! It also allowed us to make our own determinations about what happened immediately after the party and in the future. Well, the game tells us what happens, but you know what I mean! Although, I will say that I would've loved to see Boz and Risha get together (officially) and to see Corso meet Tann's parents because, well, meeting the parents is always awkward and I can only imagine how that scene would play out! Oof, I'll stop rambling! Anyways, fantastic job, as always! I'll be on the lookout for your future works! |
clicketykeys chapter 46 . 6/13/2014 I will certainly miss the regularity of these updates; it has been a wonderful ride! Honestly, I don't think "species-ist" will ever be a word, whether in English or Galactic Basic! It just doesn't scan well - that's why we have "homophobic" as a word, even though it's more often used to refer to bigotry aimed at anyone who isn't straight. I would suggest "xenoracist" as a more likely development, meaning a prejudice against a race or species that is not part of the species to which one belongs. "Entoparanoia" might be more accurate, but with six syllables, it's quite a mouthful! Ditto for "humanoid supremacist" although I can see "supremacist" standing in for it. This was a great conclusion - there's a sense of closure, as Lenn realizes that not only does Tan have something with Corso already, but also that their lives intersect but don't intertwine. And we see Boz and Risha together, too, and of course it ends with Tan and Corso snuggles, and what's not to love about that?! Of course I'm hoping that one day there'll be more, too, but with a happy finale like this one, I am content... so long as you don't mind me, in the meantime, headcanoning a passel of cheerfully loud young'uns with hair as wild as their antics! ;D |
Kelana-ti chapter 45 . 6/1/2014 A party, huh? Sounds fun. :D |
Zipitnow chapter 45 . 5/30/2014 I'm with Tanith! Caf is a beautiful thing, always! In fact, sometimes its better than s...uh...never mind! Lenn always seemed to be the likeable (inept) guy that's fun at a party. His sister...um, not so much. More like the Home Coming Queen who didn't want to get her dress dirty...ever! ( I know, how boring is she?) I haven't played thru to the end of the Smuggler story line in game, but I remember opting for the "dinner and dancing " with Lenn, apparently he's a fun date cause your toon doesn't show up at her ship for a few days...or something. Hmmmmm! Poor long suffering Corso! This is why the Smuggler gal toon is so much fun. So many boys, so many choices. (sighs happily) Anywho, another fun chapter in this adventure, really looking forward to "The Bar Party" Will Lenn score? Will Cedonia drink too much and, (ahem), "socialize" with Broawdar? (oh crap, my bad, spelling is awful) Is Boz going sweep Risha off her big pink boots? (Seriously, that's the one thing I didn't like about her toon, thank goodness when you finally get to dress her in another color) Looks like it will be a night to remember for everyone involved, awesome! Thank you for the fab read, can't wait to read the next installment. Yay for the writer! |
clicketykeys chapter 45 . 5/30/2014 Yay! More story with Tan! I thought this was fun and sweet - Lenn and Cedonia's reactions at the suggestion of socializing together were awesome. I love that Lenn still kinda-sorta flirts, and that Corso STILL doesn't like it, even though things seem kind of stable between him and Tan. But he's not making a butt of himself, either. (This time!) Also, I'm looking forward to the party scene, and I'm sure everyone else is too! |
impoeia chapter 45 . 5/30/2014 Short chapters are perfectly lovely and this one had me grinning all the way. I'm not sure whether Tan is generous, kind or simply devious. The Teraans out for a drink with the crew of the Lucky Strike. *tries to picture it* Nope, nothing coming into focus. I am entering total white space. *rubs hands gleefully* This is so much fun and so exciting. I've rarely ever read a story where I couldn't imagine at least a little what would happen next. Squee! So looking forward to that party and the many ways in which you'll surprise me. Will Boz be there? BTW, I simply adore the idea of a medcenter overflowing with flowers. Fantastic image and it makes me grin like a fool every time I think of it. It's sweet and at the same time, very silly. |
LongLiveTheClones chapter 45 . 5/30/2014 I like their way of saying thank you. Amazing how they didn't pick up on her using the Force, but she is probably very grateful that they didn't. I guess people only see what they want to see. |
Zipitnow chapter 44 . 5/18/2014 Oh goodness! Boz has a crush on Risha. Its nice to see her as not so cold and calculating as she is "in game". So, I get the feeling Tan doesn't know about Boz sorta blabbing to her folks even if its just a vague progress report It won't be pretty when (if) she finds out. It sucks for Tan that her family wants her to be a Jedi, (nothing against Jedi, but seriously, who wants to get stuck wearing those ugly clothes not date, fall in love, get married and have grand adventures?), although I've read that Corellian Jedi wore what they wanted and did in fact marry and have families. (Yay for them). I love the Boz character, what can I say (or Risha) ? Boys in armor are pretty irresistible. Thank you for the new chapter in this adventure. I love reading about the game characters and how you expand the storyline. Who doesn't want more SWTOR? Or more Boz? Looking forward to more story, yay for the writer! |
Kelana-ti chapter 44 . 5/17/2014 :D He he. Uh, so the first part had me a little sad. I mean, Boz was raised by his aunt and uncle... I don't remember if that was mentioned before? But since Tan and Boz are pracitically brother and sister... well, that explains a lot. It's sad, though, that he's trying to get his family back together. Admirable, but I feel for the guy. D: But man, that's really sweet. And then Risha came in... LOL. Man, that was some awesome flirting. :D Loved it. Really want them to get together, now. 0.O And yeah, Boz is a cool guy. |
R. Constance chapter 44 . 5/16/2014 Fantastic job! So glad to see you back! I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I hope you continue to incorporate Boz and Risha into the story. I love how you write their flirty exchanges. It's so cheeky and fun. |
impoeia chapter 44 . 5/16/2014 Poor Boz. It's a definitely crappy position to be in, but I admire him for daring the balancing act. I hope that one day Tannith realizes everything Boz has done for her and then she can kick him in the shins before giving him a big hug. It was interesting to see Tan's parents. Even in this brief glimpse, it's obvious where she comes from and the family resemblance is definitely visible. It's a good thing Boz has someone like Risha to cheer him up. I have to admit, I was a bit dizzy from the shift in emotion, but absolutely delighted for Boz. Risha was just what he needed and those two made me laugh out loud so hard. "Boosting trooper morale is very patriotic of you." Smooth, Boz. Real smooth. *Sigh* This chapter was just what I needed to finish off the week. Thanks so much for the wonderful read. |
