My Own FanFiction

Unfortunately I'm not a talented writer (I wish I were, there are so many interesting stories still untold), but nevertheless I try to write some fanfiction, it's just so much fun. Here is a list of the stories I've completed so far (in order of their completion date). Maybe I should warn you in advance: I can't write action; usually my stories include a lot of talking *g*. If you want dogfights, you probably won't like these stories.

When I'd finished my first two stories, I asked on alt.fan.wedge if someone was willing to proof-read them for me, and the response was enormous :-). I would like to thank everyone who helped me; I know how much work it is to edit someone else's stories, and I really, really appreciate your help. That was great! My thanks go to Iris, Majick, Becki, and Firebird who spent a lot of time editing some of my stories. Very special thanks to Becky and Cris who were so kind to proofread almost all of the stories I've written so far and spent so much time to help me with them. Thank you very much! I would also like to thank Jörg for his suggestions, Anna and Magdalena for enduring to get to read so many of my unfinished stories, and the people on the WAAS mailing list for their encouragement. :-)

I'm always eager to learn how people like my stories, so any comments are very welcome. Please don't hesitate to tell me what you don't like. I know that most people (including me) are very reluctant to critize someone else's work (especially if they don't know the other in person), but without people who tell me what I'm doing wrong I won't be able to improve my writing. Please email me at cailyn@xwpilots.de. The latest stories (starting with "Past and Present") have never been reviewed at all (not even for grammar), so comments, corrections and suggestions are especially welcome.

I've added a page with some remarks about my stories, mainly about the official sources that my fanfics are based on. If you are interested in such things, please click here. Of course you can always email me if you have a question.

Title: Past and Present

Timeperiod: ca. 25.5 ABY (during "NJO:Ruin")

Main characters: Wedge, Jagged

Rating: G

Type: canon

Spoilers: one big spoiler for "Ruin"

Summary: Shortly before the Battle of Ithor, Wedge meets a member of his family he didn't even know existed.

Completed: May 2004 (a few minor modifications were made in May 2009)

Remarks: In "Ruin" there was a scene missing that I'd loved to have seen written. For months I waited for a fanfic to be written about it, and when it didn't happen (or rather, when I didn't find one), I reluctantly began to write about it myself. It never turned out quite the way I wanted it, so I left it lying around at my computer literally for years. Only after reading "Survivor's Quest" and realizing that I needed to change my fanfic slightly to keep it canon, I began working on it again, and eventually decided to put it up on my website. So, more than ever, I need your feedback for this fanfic (especially since no one proof-read it yet). For additional remarks please click here.

Type: canon

Spoilers: none

Summary: Tycho and Wedge meet again for the first time since Tycho's escape from Akrit'tar.

Completed: April 2009

Remarks: This is a fanfic a wrote years before I eventually put it online. Apparently, right after writing it, I didn't think it fit for "publication". But when I decided to update my website again after five years, I reread all my all fanfics, and found that this one is a) finished and b) okay enough to put it online. So I did :-). So, again, I need your feedback for this fanfic, which no one has proof-read yet. For additional remarks please click here.
