User blog:Mecenarylord/Ohai: the post that will rock your face-hole

Ohai!

I'm Mecenarylord, but you can call me Meccie, Merc, or my new psuendonym Mark Lourd. I'm on-and-off active at Darthipedia, the Star Wars Humor wiki and just recently returned to the wiki scene. Now I'm making my return to fanon!

A few years back I started working on a novel that would head off a series about an alternate story-line in the Star Wars universe. I got about fifty pages into my story, which followed canon up to the Showdown on Coruscant where I had Anakin fail at engaging Windu in his attempt to save Sidious and Sidious perishing at the hands of Windu, but it was not to be. I got distracted and moved on.

Still I have not published any fanfic here, but I hope that to change. I am currently working on a new untitled work that is somewhat in the vein of my last project, but, instead, the turning point from canon to fanon is at the Battle of Yavin. Luke misses the vent and, instead of flying off victoriously, he flees to the Outer Rim with the weight of his massive failure, as well as the death of Leia and the Rebellion, on his conscience.

Five years later, the Rebellion is in shambles. Leia, Bail Organa, and Jan Dodonna are all dead. Mon Mothma was assassinated a year after the Battle of Yavin by Mara Jade. Only Garm Bel Ibis's forces remain, but he is greatly weakened now that Imperial attention has turned to him. Luke is laying low in some crime-riddled city in the Outer Rim, a drug addict and homeless.

Meanwhile, Obi-Wan's ghost (and potentially Qui-Gon's ghost) and Yoda are trying to figure out how to get Luke back or perhaps if they misinterpreted the prophecy. Obi-Wan's visits to Luke are fruitless so Yoda begins training Kyle Katarn, former Rebel operative.

On Coruscant, an anti-Empire vandal and terrorist, a force sensitive by the name of Rubeus Hood, is being heavily pursued by Imperial authorities for blowing up hangars, Stormtrooper barracks, and assaulting/assassinating Imperial officials. He has caused so much trouble (plus the fact that he is force sensitive), that he has gained the attention of the Emperor. Mara Jade is now assigned with his capture or assassination.

I may try and squeeze in a fourth storyline following Han and Chewie. Wanted by both the Hutts and the Empire, they've had to bulk up their crew and the Falcon. Additions include Wedge Antilles, a recently rescued (from Imperial slavery) Tarfull, a Cerean character I'm developing, and possibly others.

Well that's all for now! I probably screwed up something, had a major spelling mistake, or accidentally broke someones Lego set, so I apologize in advance! Please share your thoughts, questions, complaints, insults, and rants in the comments or in obscure places across the internet where I will most likely never find them!
