HELLO LITTLE PEOPLE!

This is Solus. This is a reminder, a news flash that, yes, I DO still write. I don't just edit and tell writers that their article's grammar needs work. I don't just chat and say HIEZ! I write. Okay? I write.

And I have proof! But let me lead up to it first.

Somewhere around Fall of '08 I just had these ideas for stories. Well, I get ideas for stories all the time, but these right here are the relevant ones. However, I had a problem. I had all these ideas, many of which were conflicting in that they could not be included in the same story. I still wanted to write them, though. I don't have the stay-ability to write a novel for each of them, though - I'm a compact writer, I don't...no, can't...write fluff. I try to pad out my stuff so it takes up more pages but I just can't, so nothing in my stories is filler, it all has to have a purpose, and my ideas weren't "thick" enough to write a whole SW fanfic novel for each of them.

So I'm making them short stories.

Now, you probably think of me as happy-go-lucky and ditzy and all that - and I am! - but these stories are different. Yes, I've ventured into the much loved genre of horror, or at the least dark fiction. Maybe just to see if I can do it. :p

These short stories will be compiled in the "book" An Inquiry into the Nature of the Sentient Species. A mouthful, huh? Well, I was going for a "textbook" feel of both the title and cover. I wanted people to get a first impression that was dead wrong. Because it's fun!

Well, at any rate, the stories will focus each on revealing some part of the way a species thinks - or something like that, anyway. The stories will also fit into canon - they could have plausibly happened in canon, basically. Canon is fun, kids!

Of course, what good would be telling you this if I didn't have at least one story done? So I do! Here it is: Rakata.

The gist of the story: The Farm Animal Who Knew Too Much.

...

I'm dead serious.
