  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

The Force Always Says Yes [Star Wars]

Lawful vs Good is a topic I haven't seen people approach with much nuance. It's either 'Good is messy, which is why we need laws to be followed even if they aren't perfect" or "[Insert Atrocities] were lawful; good has to be fought for even though the immediate consequences are regrettable". There's probably some good ones that can do it justice that I haven't seen, and given this story so far, I hope this is one of them.
 
Is there a mismatch of chapters? I see 55 over in AO3, with Symbionts being #55
Not exactly! Archive Of Our Own does not allow unnumbered chapters. So for each of the interludes and vignettes, like the End Of Arc 1 Vignette: It's A Cheap Trick But It Works, I did not number them in my personal copy of the story, nor did I number them as I uploaded them onto QQ and Spacebattles. Unfortunately, Ao3 requires them to be counted, which inflates the numbers of chapters afterwards. It's really frustrating!
 
From my point of view, the Jedi are evil! the Jedi Order is a slave to the Republic, and the Jedi themselves are slaves to their flawed perspective.

When Yoda complained in episode 2 that more and more Jedi were arrogant, he felt so passive about it. Rubs me the wrong way.

Oh, and the famous line: "If an item does not appear in our records, it does not exist."

I have trouble explaining it, but this form of arrogance is what Yoda felt, I think it's also what he nurtured.
