A NEW SCI FI NOVEL...BY A FREEPER
The Sith Order ^ | July 26, 2005 | Mad Ivan

Posted on 07/25/2005 4:46:50 PM PDT by MadIvan

I'm pleased to announced that I've just finished writing the first draft of my new Sci Fi novel, "I, Palpatine". This novel covers the biography of Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars (for those who haven't seen the film, he's the really nasty piece of work).

One can either read the story in pieces on SithOrder.Com or get a more complete manuscript (with some corrections) by mailing me privately; I am doing this to keep track of to whom I send these manuscripts.

Feedback from the most intelligent and discerning audience on the web is most appreciated.

"I hope you have cleared intelectual property issues with LucasFilms"

Lucas Arts gives wide berth to fan based creations.

Excellent work. I found it a while back and had read up to chapter 8, I'll finish it tonight.

Star wars is not SciFi.

It is space opera. Putting the knights in spaceships does'nt make something SciFi.

That said congratulations on your persistance in finishing a novel.

I hope you have cleared intelectual property issues with LucasFilms.

I've done several things - first, I did research to ensure I wasn't contradicting anything else that had been published. Second, I'm not making any money out of this (yet). Finally, only Lucas Books could publish it, so we'll see.

Regards, Ivan

I hope you get published. If not, keep trying, especially if you delve into nonfiction. The world needs to hear from as many minds of your quality as possible.

I would be honored to read your book. Also my husband is a *BIG* Star Wars fan and might be quite interested as well.
