§ Introduction:

Please note that I have no control over the ads this site serves up when readers view my profile or stories. Also, I do not accept requests for story ideas.

Quick facts:

I'm a Catholic adult male who believes that the Jedi Code and Christian values could coexist. As time permits, I enjoy sports as an active participant or as a sideline observer. My pen name here comes from a dream where I – at the last second – came up with the persona of a croquet-playing Jedi. For those curious about the identifiers in square brackets, those help me track my writing in sequential order (as readers, you are free to ignore them).

Frequently-used abbreviations in this profile:

» BBY/ABY: Before (or after) the Battle of Yavin.
» EU: Expanded universe.
» GrS: Great ReSynchronization.
» FFn: Fan fiction (dot) net.
» OC: Original character.

Notes:

1. In the name of common courtesy, please ask me first before: (1) using any tool to read my FFn stories offline, or (2) using any of my OCs in your stories. Thanks, in advance, for your cooperation.
2. If a story hasn't been updated in over a year, I may assume the author has abandoned it. So, I will remove it from my follow list. However, I may re-follow it should updates resume.
3. Because this is fan fiction, there will be times when a universe's canon may be ignored, altered, or otherwise reinterpreted. Specifically, for my Stars Wars writing, I reserve the right to consider the following as non-canon, including, but not limited to: (1) Star Wars: The Clone Wars starting with Season 5, Episode 17; (2) Star Wars Rebels as a whole; and, (3) The post-Return of the Jedi EU.

§ Collaborations:

I submitted Chapter Seven in Laloga's collection of vignettes, First Kiss: Variations On A Theme, that she published in February 2013. This is an outtake scene featuring a 29-year-old Sarah. At the present time, it also contains major spoilers for my Ahsoka's Legacy series.

§ The Ahsoka's Legacy Series:

Originally started in 2011 as private writing, here is the chronological order for the public portions of this series:

1. To Survive Betrayal. (2011; 19 BBY/16 GrS)
2. Both Worlds. (2019; 11 BBY/24 GrS)
3. The Other Half of the Family. (2026; 4 BBY/31 GrS)
4. Unexpected Arrivals. (2028; 2 BBY/33 GrS)
5. When Cultures Collide. (2030; 0 ABY/35 GrS)
6. When Cultures Collide 2. (2030; 0 ABY/35 GrS)

What about the outtakes? These are additional missions or scenes intended as spin-offs from the main series that still count as Ahsoka's Legacy canon. In chronological order, they are: Racing Into Knighthood, The Four-Way Foray, Invisible Echoes, and Sarah's (Bitter) Sweet 16.

I consider Christmas Celebrations a separate adjunct to the main series because it spans multiple stories.

§ Current Writing Activity: (Updated 2020-03)

Real life has been busier than it has in past years. Thanks for bearing with me as I continue to write and catch up on reading when time permits.

Active Stories:

Oz Madness 2020: Ruby Rollers. My tournament where characters from Baum's Oz books compete in games of High Rollers/Shut the Box to determine the overall champion. The five chapters should be posted daily during the last week of March/first week of April.

Stories in Progress (being written behind the scenes):

1. Private Writing. I'm adding new journal entries to Sarah's private diary if and when time permits. I still want to make progress moving forward. This is not being posted to FFn because it's not compliant with the site's guidelines. However, I've excerpted a number of these entries to create stories during my "The Trips to Shili" era of the Ahsoka's Legacy series.
2. The Emerald Escapade of Oz. This is my first full non-racing MASK episode that is crossed over with Baum's Oz series. I consider it Season 1, Episode 66 of MASK. Chapter 1 (of three) has been posted. Due to real life being busier than usual, work on chapter two has been slower than I prefer.

Miscellaneous:

In the Fall of 2016, I read Star Wars: Ahsoka. I won't spoil any details. Site users may PM me if they wish to civilly discuss the story and share thoughts about it.

Although I discontinued the cleanup of all of my multi-chapter fics due to lack of time, I still edit any stray typos or other errors upon discovery.

§ A Formula for Feedback:

I welcome reviews and relevant, constructive feedback on the stories posted here–even if they are already completed. Users without a FFn account may submit guest/anonymous reviews. However, I've chosen to moderate such reviews to ensure they are relevant and civil; I expect reviewers to follow the rules of civility (namely the first two items below):

» Respect is expected at the norm.
» We treat others as we would like to be treated.
» Conflict resolution is the rule of thumb.
» We control anger and seek appropriate help.

– From a bookmark given to me (and others) by the former Dean of Students at Southern Maine Technical College.

Is it a challenge to provide meaningful feedback or reviews? Here is one possible format:

» What did you like best?
» What did you like least?
» Do you have any constructive suggestions?
» Do you have any additional relevant comments?
