About OtterSurf! Edit

I fly under the flag of the Rebels and their New Republic. Yep. As you may have already thought, I'm a Republicist. I'd take a T-65 over a TIE/ln any day.

Yes, I also up the Mandalorians. I pretty much think Jedi and the Mandos should get along. Imagine the peacekeeping power of a joint Jedi and Mandalorian security force!

Oh, and I'm a Fleet Junkie, and prefer ships with astromech droids.

Why am I here? Edit

Pppht. I'm here to keep Ralltiir clean and shiny, and to stop people vandalising Wayland. The Vong didn't listen to me on that, though. Ahem.

I'm pretty much here to revert crappy changes and keep everything here well-organized and coherent. See Shatterpoint (novel) for a well-made plot synopsis! Trust me, it was a mag-lev wreck before I started on it!

The world of Star Wars Fiction Edit

Hoo boy. The STAR WARS novels are a varied bunch, to be sure. Every author has their own style and...

Stuff it. Here are my best and worst authors of all time! A note to the Worst... I don't meant to offend! Keep those vibroblades in yer pockets!

No, seriously. I'm not defaming anyone here. The "Worst" list are just authors who didn't really work for me.

The BEST

• James Luceno - Boy, this guy keeps me interested! A rich mix of fleet-junkie and planetary interest goodness always has a James Luceno Mark of Coolness.

• Matthew Stover - Could this guy BE more intense? Maybe, but I think we'll take what's on offer... it's good stuff!

• Aaron Allston - Wedge Antilles fanatic and X-Wing battle extraordinaire.

• Timothy Zahn - The first and one of the best. The Hand of Thrawn Duology thrilled me.

• Sean Stewart - Okay, yeah. He wrote one book, but it was great.

• Michael A. Stackpole - Three words for ya. DARK. TIDE. DUOLOGY. Emperor's black bones, it rocked my socks.

Uh-oh. I can hear blades sliding out of pockets. If I'm gasping during this next list, it's because I'm ducking them.

The (gasp!) WORST

I haven't even SAID anything yet!

• Troy Denning - Well. Nobody in Troy Denning's books "says" or "shouts". They all "Surmise". They all "Correct". They all "Object". Seriously (gasp!). His stories might be rather good, but it's his flat character portrayal that turns me way off (gasp!).

• Roger MacBride Allen - The Corellian Trilogy. Never really a fan, I have to say.

• Karen Traviss - Oh, this is gonna hurt. Her first, Hard Contact, is probably the BEST Clone Wars novel there is. It actually HAS CLONES!! But, sadly, such goodness could not last. (gasp!) After that, we were treated - nay, subjected - to a tirade of MANDALORIANA. The books might as well be written in the damn language. It's a shame, because she gets the humour and tone spot on. But after a thousand or so pages of MANDO MANDO MANDO (gasp!), I'll be reading something else. Phew. Thought she'd be the worst one. Oh, oh, she's giving all her vibroblades to...

• L. Neil Smith - The Lando Calrissian Adventures. Not great stories by anyone's standards (gasp, gasp, gasp! Ha! You're out of blades, buddy!). Seriously. Don't believe me? You old toaster!

• Steven Barnes - The Cestus Deception. Not the best Clone Wars novel. (gasp!) Page after page of politicking, waffle and a series of action - I use that last word advisedly - scenes that made little sense (gasp!). Also, the book pays host to probably the most stupid sex scene ever. AT least, I think it's a sex scene; it probably isn't. That part where Jangotat - if that's Mando'a for "Jango's Brother", I'll eat my hyperdrive - has something cool and gelatinous pulsing on him. Eww. (gasp! Okay, they're all out of vibroblades!)

There you have it. Got an objection? Tell me so I can take it into consideration!

It goes without saying! Edit

Clone Down! Edit

Anyhoo, now, where was I? Oh yeah. The Clone Wars sucks bantha ass. Seriously, it's a canonical nightmare and pretty much screws everything up. It's also WAY too juvenile, at least for my tastes. The merchandising makes me want to puke, too.
